.dlind ceakl dxitqaIt is the custom not to cut oneˆs hair /between Pesach and Atzeres until Lag Be-Omer. This is/ because itis stated that then /the disciples of Rabbi Akiva/ stopped dying out. One should not cut his hair until thethirty-fourth day /of the omer/, in the morning, unless Lag Be-Omer falls on Erev Shabbos, in which caseone may cut his hair on /Lag Be-Omer/ in order to honor the Shabbos. Gloss: In these countries thecustom does not accord with his words. In fact, we cut our hair on the day of Lag Be-Omer /even if it doesnot fall on Erev Shabbos/. We /also/ add some rejoicing to that /day/ and we do not say Tachanun on it.One should not take a haircut until Lag Be-Omer itself /has arrived/. He should not /cut it/ at night.However, if /Lag Be-Omer/ falls on a Sunday, it is the custom to take a haircut /already/ on Friday, inhonor of Shabbos. A person who is involved in a circumcision or who is circumcising a son is permittedto take a haircut during the counting /of the omer/, in honor of the circumcision
