However, both the Machatzis Hashekel and the Mahari Assad write that these two issues are separate and not dependant upon each other. In other words, according to those who hold that Tachanun is not recited from Mincha of the day of the 32nd (today), it would be permitted to hold both a wedding and have a haircut on the night of the 33rd. Some (Eliyhu Rabbah) are of the opinion that the entire debate hinges upon the debate in regard to the recitation of Tachanun at the previous Mincha. The Mor U’Ketziah and the Mahari Assad write that even the Ramah permits it at night-time! The Leket Yosher, however, and others hold that it is permitted from the evening. That would translate to tomorrow morning and not tonight. It is the opinion of the Ramah, the Levush, the Vilna Gaon and the Machatzis haShekel to permit it only upon morning of the 33rd – after sunrise. It is a debate among the Poskim as to whether Ashkenazim can get married on the night of Lag BaOmer or only in the daytime. However, the reading of the Shulchan Aruch according to the Mahari Assad is that for a wedding – the Mechaber would permit from the night of the 33rd of the Omer. The simple reading of the Shulchan Aruch (OC 493) is that one may only take a haircut on the morning of the 34th day. Others started the mourning from the second day of Pesach and end it on Lag BaOmer. Some are of the view that the mourning starts from Rosh Chodesh Iyar and continues until just before Shavuos. Most readers are already familiar with the two minhagim in regard to Sfirah that are cited in the Ramah in Shulchan Aruch (Orech Chaim 493:3 but see the whole siman). The Ramban, however, writes that we apply this principle even regarding the laws of mourning during Sfirah. They write that the notion found in the laws of mourning of “Miktzas ha’Yom k’kulo” does not apply in the previous evening. Rabbeinu Yerucham, the Tashbatz, and the RiN Sho’iv write that the leninecy is only upon morning and not previously. It is a debate among the Rishonim whether the heter for getting married and getting a haircut on Lag BaOmer is only after the morning (and day) or on the previous evening as well.

Lag BaOmer is not mentioned in the Torah and only hinted at in the Talmud. Due to the solemn nature of this journey, many Jews do not cut their hair or celebrate weddings during this period. Ancient Jewish law stated that no new grain should be sowed until the Omer was brought to the Temple as an offering (seven weeks!!). The counting of the Omer also reminds Jews of the journey from slavery to redemption, from when Jews were slaves in Egypt (Passover) to when they received the Torah on Mount Sinai (Shavuot). The Omer was an ancient measurement of grain. Lag B’Omer is a minor Jewish holiday that occurs on the 33rd day of the Omer, a 49-day period between Passover and Shavuot. What is Lag B’Omer? What is Counting of the Omer?
