Israeli Ultra Orthodox light up a bonefire in the Ultra Othodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim on May 1, 2010 during celebrations for Lag Baomer, a Jewish festival which marks Bar Yochai's death. Yochai was a great scholar and one of the most important sages in Jewish history some 1,800 years ago. Thousands of Jews light large bonfires all night long all around Israel.
