I can't wait it has been so hard to not listen to music this Omer, I've really struggled. Music is a really important part of my life when I'am feeling down music gives me a real lift. Well BH I can listen to music again soon. Does anyone else feel like this too?

BasHinda, it's not an official time to listen to music, Friday afternoon or Motzei Shabbos (I asked).

Not everyone holds like this. We have to wait till erev yomtov after chatzos. Confused

Shalhavet, doesn't your community celebrate any weddings before Shavous?

We don't give haircuts till then. (I'm not sure about chatzos though., but Erev Shavuos, for sure)It's in Hayom Yom.

Nor do we listen to music either as far as I was told by my (lubavitcher) Rav until Erev Shavuos, Tzena

So why are there chasuanahs at this time, then? (we were told we could have music at our son's Bar Mitzvah). Obviously there are several opinions, within Lubavitch. I'd like to know the sources for the differences. Confused

It's true that in my young adulthood, I thought we don't make weddings in 3 ymei Hagbalah, but the fact is that it has become very common.

I don't think so; only on Lag B'Omer itself. Sephardim in EY usually have weddings from the day after Lag B'Omer.

Haircuts are muttar from Erev Shavuos in the morning - this is according to the Arizal AFAIK. But that is b/c it is l'koved yom tov (unlike music). Of course many get haircuts all shloshes y'mei hagbolo, but that is a different minhag.

If the bar mitzva is the actual birthday then music is allowed the entire Omer because it is a seudas mitzva, as far as I remember. (I'll let you know in 8 years time, iy"H. I have a 5 yr old ds, born on beis Iyyar.)

Lubavitchers aren't supposed to cut hair until after Shavous. From today's Hayom Yom:

Haircutting during the Three Days of Preparation, before Erev Shavuot, was displeasing to my father.

Not attacking (really!) just clarifying. What is the Hebrew original, because this is ambiguous? You can understand it as you shouldn't have haircuts during the 3 days before E. Shavuos, ie on Erev Shavuos you can (and should, l'koved yom tov) and that is the minhag Arizal, as I mentioned.

Sun, May 20 2007, 11:22 am

that hayom yom is saying not to cut hair b4 erev shavous but on erev shavous we can cut hair

I looked it up in the original, it's very different than the English. Confused

Don't ask me why.

sc, you're right. the impression I was under was wrong.

maybe b/c, GR, you have little kids. you prob. didn't think about it.

a married woman cuts whenever she needs to, basically. little boys cut by 3 years old, upsherenish, right? and if older kids had a good haircut before Pesach, they aren't plotzing right now, so . . .

no conjectures, please, choc moose. you're way off-base, to say it bluntly.

Scuse me? I am speaking from experience.

I took my daughter, when she was little, to have her hair cut twice a year - before Rosh HaShana and before Pesach. She would wear it chin length, with a headband, and as it grew, a ponytail.

My husband cut our son's hair until he was prety big - into high school, IIRC. Again, if he got a good short haircut erev Pesach, he wasn't plotzing for a haircut near Shavous. I think he could make it even until the 3 Weeks, IIRC.

As far as a married lady, you can ask your own rov, but I was told a married woman could groom, specially for mikvah, at any time, except erev Tisha B'av and Tisha B'av itself.

So, what of this do you have problems with, GR?
