Did you ever wonder how all that wood was gathered for the Lag B’Omer bonfires?

(Jerusalem’s Old City Jewish Quarter)

Young girls gather wood for their Lag B’Omer bonfire, and the boys prepare for theirs.

From at least Passover on, the children keep their eyes open for any discarded wood for the bonfires.
