Public security minister urges public not light bonfires for Lag B’Omer holiday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan issues a statement calling on the public to avoid lighting bonfires as is traditionally done to mark the Lag B’Omer holiday that begins this evening.
“Today and tomorrow there will be a heavy and extreme heat wave around the country, and we all know what it means: a risk of fires and danger to human life. There is no commandment to light a bonfire [on Lag B’Omer and it is certainly worth reconsidering [doing so] due to the current weather,” Erdan says.
