Question
What is the law for a boy who becomes Bar Mitzvah during the days of the Omer?
Answer
A boy who becomes Bar Mitzvah during the days of the Omer and has counted every day while still a minor can continue to count with a blessing. Although some hold that counting as a minor is not considered valid counting, and therefore after reaching adulthood, he should count without a blessing, the halacha follows those who permit him to continue counting with a blessing.
