Question
Hello and blessings! I am a teacher in a cheder for children with communication disorders on the spectrum (autism). On Friday, Lag BaOmer, there will be no classes, so the teaching staff wants to make a small bonfire with dances and songs for the children on Thursday evening, the eve of Lag BaOmer (32nd day of the Omer). My question is whether it is permissible to play songs with musical instruments for them. Or will it be forbidden since Lag BaOmer has not yet begun. I would be happy to hear the rabbi's opinion. Since there are God-fearing people on the teaching staff who want to know the source of the law, I would also be happy to receive a source. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
From midday on the 32nd day of the Omer, it is permitted for the joy of the celebration.
The Rabbi, shlita, demonstrated the leniency from the permission to cut hair from midday for a wedding on the night of Lag BaOmer.
It seems that for children who are not obligated in the commandments, it is permitted even from the morning.
