	Lag BaOmer 2008
		Lag BaOmer is the day that the holy Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, author of the Zohar, passed away.
		Since haircuts were one of the activities restricted during the Omer, Lag BaOmer is traditionally a day for the "halakah", or "upshurnish" of three year old boys.
		In contrast, Rav Chaim Vital, the primary student and author of most of the writings attributed to the Ari, wrote that on Lag BaOmer the Ari himself would take his young son to Meron with all of his household and cut the child's hair as is the well known custom.

	Lag Ba'omer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lag Ba'omer (Ashkenazi) or Lag la'omer (Sephardi) is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the thirty-third day of the counting of the Omer which is on the 18th of Iyar.
		Lag Ba’omer is special in the fact that none of the prohibitions of the Omer period are forbidden.
		While Lag Ba'omer is always on the 18th day of Iyar in the Jewish calendar, the date in the Western (Gregorian) calendar varies from year to year due to differences between the two calendars.

	Dialogando con Anima
		Lag BaOmer, il 33esimo giorno della Conta dell'Omer (23 Maggio 2008), è una festività del calendario Ebraico dove si fa visita alla tomba di Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, il cui yahrzeit (anniversario della sua morte) cade proprio in questo giorno.
		I maestri Chassidici spiegano che l'ultimo giorno terreno di una persona giusta segna il punto in cui "tutte le sue azioni, insegnamenti e lavoro" ottengono il culmine della loro perfezione e lo zenith del loro influsso sulle nostre vite.
		Lag BaOmer porta l'appellativo di Ahavat Yisrael, l'imperativo di amare e rispettare il prossimo.

		Because Lag Ba'Omer deals with the secrets of the future Messianic Age, it cannot be discussed openly or understood as clearly as can the Exodus or other events of the past.

		The Talmudic Researcher Rav Avraham Kosman arrives at the conclusion that not only is the entire Lag BaOmer festival -- of bonfires, going to Meiron, commemerating the death of Rav Shimon Bar Yochai -- a big mistaken, but that the idea of a Hilula (celebration) to commemerate the death of tzaddikim is mistaken.
		There is no Mishnaic or Talmudic reference to Lag BaOmer, except that the students of Rabbi Akiva died in a plague between Pesach and Shavuot since they didn't act kindly to each other.
		The Meiri on the sugya that discusses the death of R' Akiva's students (Yevamos 62b) says that the plague stopped on Lab Ba'Omer, and possibly implies that that is the day that R' Akiva "travelled to the Rabbis of the south" and taught the 5 tana'im who "stood up the world".

	Daily HALACHA by Rabbi Eli Mansour - Lag BaOmer- Cutting Hair, Weddings, Music, and More
		Therefore, Maran holds that one is still refrained and forbidden in taking hair cuts, and if one is holding back from shaving during the Omer, it would still be Asur (forbidden) for him, according to the Minhag until the 34th of the Omer.
		For example, we have a custom of The Arizal, that we mentioned, that a child after he reaches his 3rd birthday, or he passes 3 Lag BaOmers, so on the 3rd Lag BaOmer, they take him to the Rabbi, and they cut his hair for the 1st time.
		So therefore, it is permissible to take children today (Lag BaOmer) for a hair cut on Lag BaOmer itself.
