There is intermittent cell service reception around Meron. Many people are safe but stranded as roads are closed. 30 kids are in a police holding facility in search of family members.

Is it unsafe (to the point that no insurance companies want to touch it) any other time of year? Why can't they just write in an exclusion to the policy for Lag Baomer time (and/or mass-participant events)?

Honestly this is beyond me. If there's a government owned insurance company, why not have them insure it rather than adopt a pay-as-you-go model?

Why is that better than self insuring?

Discipline. Accountability. Claims experience.

Idk about this particular case but I've seen cases where no insurance company wanted to touch a property after a massive claim, regardless of whether the property still had any of the risks that caused the claim.

Could also be in zchus of not having a smartphone. With a smartphone he wouldn't have gone searching for a bentcher, just bentched from the phone (though some "dumb phones" also have some Jewish texts...).

NEW: The Toldos Aharon Rebbe canceled this year’s Lag Baomer Hadlakah in Meron following last year’s horrifying incident. Other Rebbes are expected to make a similar announcement.

Maybe he’s reading between the lines.

The redundant “שנה זו” means he isn’t waiving his established rights for future years. It’s possible that the organizers of Lag Baomer gave them the opportunity to choose not to come rather than to become uninvited.

It says he's not coming "with the tzibbur", does that mean he plans to go but without a maamad?
