Misfortune Mars Mount Meron Merriment

Growing up Lag Baomer meant going to the park during school and, as Abie Rottenberg notes, playing That Game.

In recent years thousands have flocked to Meron to participate in huge bonfires.

Although there is precedent in the Sephardic and Chassidic communities, the Litvish Yeshivos were never really part of this phenomenon until recently.

I suppose it is because today's children need some kosher outlets and this is one of them.

In any event, as many Gedolim have said, it is better to stay in the Beis Medrash and learn than to go to Meron.

Similarly, it is better to stay home and Daven with family than to travel to Uman for Rosh Hashana.

Oldies Organized on OffTheRecord (Baruch Levine)

Continuing the trend started by Yaakov Shwekey 3 years ago, Baruch Levine has come out with a new recording of many of the favorites of yesteryear. MBD, Fried, Miami, Journeys, Moshe Yess, JEP - many of the best niggunim of our childhood come back to life on this recording. While Shwekey used an image of a casette tape for his cover, Baruch uses the image of a vinyl album. Worthwhile to get your children to appreciate these oldtime melodies, and it may just prompt one to pull out the old tapes and records and relive those nostalgic times of your childhood.
