Lag BaOmer in Israel

Yeah, I know I'm late, don't act surprised! 

I thought about going to Meron for Lag BaOmer, but I'm really lazy, I hate crowds and being touched by strangers, so I listened to everyone who told me I would regret going. Instead I went out to eat with Nehama, only to find out that we were invited to a BBQ later, typical. The kids in our neighborhood have been collecting wood for their bonfires since before Pesach and driving up to our apartment it looked like the whole city was on fire. I walked around a little and found there was a pretty big Yeshiva not far from our apartment that had a huge party. It was pretty cool to watch so many people dancing and singing, but I was totally overwhelmed by the crowd, so probably a good thing I didn't go to Meron. I also couldn't deal with all the kids playing so close to fire, with little to no supervision. I know I sound like a boring old man, but I've played with fire enough to know how close you can get and these kids were too close. Pictures and videos below. 

During the day Matis's Gan had a parade/party. It was all in hebrew so I didn't understand a lot of it, but they must've said Shema 10 times and sang about Moshiach at least as often (it's a Chabad Gan).
