WolfishMusings,

By that token, the Torah illuminated the world. Let’s make a bonfire on Shavuous.

Why would bonfires on Lag Baomer have anything to do with Shavuos? Is there fundamentally something wrong with celebrating something differently on different days? On Friday night, we say “zecher litziyas Mitzrayim” as part of kiddush, so by that token, should we eat matzah and maror every Shabbos?
