The Great Lag B’Omer Debacle of 2017
Lag B’Omer (or the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer) is sort of like Israel’s equivalent of the Brits’ Guy Fawkes night. Both involve the lighting of bonfires; both commemorate being saved from something awful (the “Gunpowder Plot” of 1605 against King James I and the plague amongst the followers of Rabbi Akiva); and these days, most people merrily participate in bonfires and BBQs without having the foggiest idea what they are actually celebrating. Thus ends the comparison, because what happened here in Israel this year, I cannot imagine would ever occur in the land of the exacting and orderly British.
