Word of the Month

Word of the Month

IYAR seems to have more different dates on the calendar than any other month. “Different” in this case means that the seven days of Pesach are not different from each other, nor are the 8 days of Chanuka… etc. IYAR even has another name in the Tanach - Chodesh ZIV. Here are the dates in IYAR: 1 - R"Ch (of course). 4 - Yom HaZikaron. 5 - Yom HaAtzmaut. (These two days can be 2 & 3 of Iyar, 3 & 4 and 5 & 6, in addition to their “regular” 4 & 5.) 14 - Pesach Sheni. 18 - Lag BaOmer. 20 - the date of first traveling away from Har Sinai after nearly a year there. 28 - Yom Yerushalayim. The entire month is during the Omer.
###
Pre-Lag BaOmer reminder
When Lag BaOmer falls on Motza"Sh- Sunday, then haircutting and shaving is permitted on the Friday before - in honor of Shabbat. Not only is it permitted, but it is preferable to waiting until Sunday -  again, because of
Kavod Shabbat.
###
S’fira note: If you are “holding” the mournful period after Lag BaOmer and you are invited to a wedding of people who end the mournful period after
Lag BaOmer, you can go… and enjoy!

Ah, but actual knowledge might cause them to develop biases, and we can’t have that. Somebody might even accuse them of being liberals. They must remain studiously ignorant in order to preserve their impartiality.

I want someone to state, in all sincerity, to one of these dips hits “The sky is green, and the earth is flat”, and I want to see if they actually call him on that shit or simply ‘accurately report’ what was said and leave it at that.
