Question

Dear Rabbi, A woman who needs to get a haircut during the Omer on Sunday, is it permissible for her to do so on Friday? A Bar Mitzvah that falls on Sunday, is it permissible to shave on Friday? Is it permissible to perform a Halakeh on Friday when Lag BaOmer falls on Sunday? Moshe Parnas

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

In this year, when Lag BaOmer falls on Sunday, it is permissible to get a haircut on Friday in honor of Shabbat.

However, those who customarily perform a Halakeh on Lag BaOmer should not do so on Friday.
