In a night-long vigil thousands of Jews will light large bonfires and visit the final resting place of Bar Yochai, who is revered as one of Judaism's great sages.

James // Dave & Chuck the Freak January 3rd, 2019

An out of control bonfire on a Dutch beach made it look like a scene from the apocalypse!

The bonfire was part of an annual New Year’s Eve competition with a neighboring community.  Old wooden pallets were used to fuel the fire that reached over 160 feet tall before getting out of control.  You can see multiple ‘firenadoes’ swirling across the beach.  No one was injured but a few buildings had some damage done and the riot police were called in.

Officials say this tradition may not continue in the future.
