I am only a wild flower in Sharon,
a lily in a mountain valley.
Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among women.
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my dearest compared to other men.
I love to sit in its shadow,
and its fruit is sweet to my taste.
He brought me to his banquet hall
and raised the banner of love over me.

One of my dear friends
Shiran Maor, astutely described the difference between a festival and a Midburn
event. He said, “Instead of an event of consumption, Midburn is an event of
creation.”
The Midburn event is the official
regional event organized by the Midburn community – the Israeli Burning Man community. The Midburn community started its
path in September 2011, when a group of burner friends got back from Burning Man in
Nevada and decided to create a community which will conserve the spirit
