The enemy on duty: Every year, the children seek to place the image of the seasonal evil at the top of the Lag BaOmer bonfire. After it is chosen, they create a doll in its image - which is set on fire.
This year, the dubious honor was bestowed upon the undisputed enemy of the ultra-Orthodox public: Finance Minister Yair Lapid.
At a bonfire set up by children in Tiberias, they created a doll in the image of the chairman of Yesh Atid, the man who imposed the conscription law on yeshiva students, brutally cut the budgets of the Torah world, ate into the allowances of Haredi families who are blessed with children, and is leading the discriminatory law of zero VAT for apartment buyers.

The doll was raised to the top of the mast, where it will wait until Saturday night - when it will be set on fire to the cheers of the celebrating children.
