Videos below are for Lag B'Omer - Before posting, I viewed them mostly without sound, so please excuse...

Video shows kids gathering whatever they find, specially wood, as they did on the weeks after Pesach and mounting ready for the bonfire to be lit on Lag B'Omer. On Lag B'Omer, "Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai Song" is sang throughout the country and bonfires are lit to commemorate the enormous amount of Torah with its secrets Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai revealed before he passed on. The 33rd day of the Omer/Lag B'Omer is the Rashbi's/Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai's death anniversary. It is proper to sit by the fire on Lag B'Omer and study Torah, specially the works of the Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai/Rashbi or if it is other sages/righteous persons that past away, to study their works or a section of Torah that mentions them and light a memorial candle in their honor on their death anniversary. It is usually not a happy day except with Rashi's Yarzeit where he asked it to be a happy occasion.

I have another question to pose: Why are Jews getting harsher sentences than others? ie Jonathan Pollard - By rights, Jonathan Pollard compared to others, would have been out of jail years ago. The jails are cramped with harsher criminals and some of those criminals are walking free and/or let out early. Both cases, are unjust. What is wrong with US' justice system?

The IDF General Staff Forum Convened on Yad Vashem for Holocaust Remembrance Day 11/4/10

Apr 11 '10 — IDF Generals in Yad Vashem on Yom HaShoah

Lt. Gen. Ashkenazi: We shall never again stand defenseless and in the mercy of others

The General Staff Forum convened on Yad Vashem museum during a ceremony held for Holocaust Remembrance Day. Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told his fathers personal story as a Holocaust survivor.

The General Staff Forum headed by the Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashekanzi convened on Sunday (April. 11th) for a special ceremony at Yad Vashem museum in Jersualem.

During the ceremony Lt. Gen. Ashkenazi related his fathers experience during the Holocaust. Like all of Plovdiv residents on March 9th 1943 my fathers family also opened the door of their house and found Bulgarian police officers who ordered them to get ready to be deported from the country within hours.

Together with 6,000 members of the community he too was placed in the school courtyard knowing well where he was going. They knew the stories of the annihilation of Europe's Jews in the camps very well. They had no doubt they were heading to a place from which there was no return" continued Ashkenazi

The Jews of Plovid, and my father included were not ultimately sent to the death camps because the order of deportation was cancelled in the last minute when they were already at the station. He added.

"In the name of my father and his family who dreamt of an independent sovereign state, and in the name of all the millions who never got to witness the realization of their dream, I stand here today as the commander of the Jewish defending force, the Israel Defense Forces, and pledge on behalf of us all: We shall never again stand defenseless and in the mercy of others. Never again will Jewish children stare in fear begging to be spared. Never again will we let our enemies determine the fate of the Jewish people and we will able to protect our sons."
