Bonfire of the Vanities

Whenever Lag B'Omer falls out on Saturday night, there's confusion as to when to light the bonfires.

Is it pushed off a day, or not? Lately, it seems to be turning into a two-day holiday.

Fast fact: There's no school on Monday.

In the town of Rechasim, up north between Haifa and Shfaram, they've built the largest bonfire in Israel, from 1000 wood pallets.

Fire and Emergency services will be on hand in case the bonfire gets out of control.

Question: How are they going to cook marshmallows with that thing?
