| May 5, 2014 at 17:20 | comment | added | preferred | True but he doesnt say it does not refer to the omer as well. I dont think its a proper diyuk to give a heter. | |
| May 5, 2014 at 17:17 | comment | added | Yoni | @preferred Agreed. I would have thought that, too. But that's why I quotes the Aruch hashulachan who explains it as referring to Churban | |
| May 5, 2014 at 17:04 | comment | added | preferred | I would have thought the words are 'public' mourning which include the sefira. | |
| May 5, 2014 at 16:40 | comment | added | Yoni | @preferred Lesser than parents (and kal vachomer less than nine days). Nine days is the anomaly because of Churban Bais Hamikdah | |
| May 5, 2014 at 16:38 | comment | added | preferred | Lesser than parents or lesser than nine days. | |
| May 5, 2014 at 15:59 | comment | added | Yoni | @preferred Great point! Magen AVraham (551, 38) asks why children don't get haircuts during nine days (551, 14) but don't observe Avilus for parent (Yoreh Deah 384:5). He answers that Avelus for public mourning (for Churban Bais Hamikdash [Aruch Hashulchan 31]) is stricter. The Sefira which commemorates the deaths of Rabbi Akiva's talmidim, then, is thus viewed as a lesser aveilus than a parent's. | |
