Life of Yeshiva Guy

Around this time of year, the young boys spend their afternoons after Cheder industriously collecting any and any spare scrap of flammable material. Watching them going about their business, I often think it no accident that the founding fathers of Yerushalayim insisted on building with stone only. It wasn’t for fear of fires; rather, they were worried the kids would tear down the houses come Lag B’Omer time in their quest for more combustible components to add to their campfire.

Witness this one young fellow who has comandeered a shopping cart to aid him in his transportation of a log. Trust me, Paul Bunyan had nothing on these kids.
