What’s the deal with: Bonfires on Lag B’Omer? 🪵🔥

So what's the deal with bonfires on log B? Why is it that we're celebrating Log Bulmer by lighting these massive bonfires? Because we love s'mores. Uh not exactly. Log Bulmer marks the yard of the great Rabi Shimon Bariohai. So one possible reason is that these bonfires serve as the world's largest yard candles. Another explanation is that on the day Rabishimon passed, the sun didn't set until he finished teaching his Torah knowledge. We light bonfires to similarly brighten the night sky, representing Rebish Shimon's Torah, a light that still burns bright to this
