JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In the Batei Ungarin neighborhood near Meah Shearim, residents decided to ignore health ministry directives and organized a huge lighting in honor of Lag Ba’Omer next to their homes, with crowds of celebrants in the courtyard and people cramming every available balcony.

In STYLE? SERIOUSLY?
By labeling this travesty as “In Style”, you, VIN, are condoning and supporting this utterly reckless behavior.
For shame!
Kill your neighbor in honor of RSBY, very impressive.
There is no authentic Jewish source for this pagan custom!!
The Hatam Sofer even wrote a tshuva against this.
It is about time people realized that these customs associated with lag baomer are a distorted perversion of authentic Judaism, barely resembling the original.
These people have invented a whole collection of fairy tales and customs based on superstition that are contrary to authentic Judaism.
On a lighter vein Regarding the bonfire:
When I was a little boy my bubby used to warn me the when you play with fire you wet at night.
Didn’t these pyromaniacs ever have a bubby to warn them?
Here in Brooklyn we had fires and dancing all over. We have to have meseiros nefesh. The people who don’t Daven are knocking the good davening Jews. We have to show how we love being Jews. We are ready to do whatever it takes to be authentic Jews just as some risk their lives in the Holocaust to Daven.
בנים גדלתי ורוממתי והם פשעו בי
What a beautiful scene.
When they start being niftar B’M DON’T Come crying to me…..
But if RSBY saves them then I’m with them too.
How dare you compare these dancing fools with the kedoshim of the Holocaust HY”D.
Rabi Shimon is turning over in his grave watching this terrible chilul hashem
There is no different than Jews who were ready to give up their lives and children’s lives to remain Jews during crusades and holocaust. Why are people who are moiser nefesh for a minyan any less holier. Holy Jews keep up the spirit. Don’t let the reformers corrupt you with their anti Torah stush.
