That is why it was called Babel, because there Hashem confounded the speech of the whole earth; and from there Hashem scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:9 (The Israel BibleTM)
As the Russia-Ukraine War enters its fourth week, the Maslenitsa Pancake folk festival in Nikola-Lenivets in the Kaluga region of Russia culminated last week in a huge bonfire that immolated the Tower of Babel.
The effigy, designed by Yekaterina Polyakova, was significantly less majestic than its Biblical counterpart, made from wooden shipping pallets and straw, topping out at 23 meters.
“We want it to be an event that brings people together and helps them get through what is going on in the world,” Ivan Polissky, manager of the park said to media. “We have to adjust the program- there is no place for frivolous fun. This year, Pancake Day is not a holiday, not a joyful carnival, but an artistic statement.”

Many years ago, the town I lived in would collect Christmas trees and a few menorah candle stubs. A good sized pile was assembled in mid January and set ablaze. For a few minutes a huge fire would warm the crowd and then settle down to a warm glowing pile of embers.
Then the rest of winter dragged on.
