Omer and Haircuts
Do you know about hair cuts and the Omer?
on the 33rd day of the Omer (the 7 weeks between Pesach and Shavuot) it is traditional to get a hair cut...
So schedule your haircut for May 28th and include a little Jewish tradition that is easy...
Actually there is a special tradition among orthodox tradition that a baby doesn't get a haircut until age 3 and then it is done on Lag B'Omer - the 33rd day of the Omer.
Why the 33rd day? Well the Omer is a period to remember all those who died in the plague during the time of Rabbi Akivah and on the 33rd day there was a lifting of the death from this terrible disease and so they celebrate that day.
So do it Jewish and get a haircut on May 28th! (really sundown the 27th to sundown 28th) Hmmmm... that is a Shabbat so I wonder what they do. If anyone knows please comment.
You can download a special calendar to "count the Omer" on the Traditions Renewed site: http://traditionsrenewed.com/
It is in the top article on Pesach.
