Letter to the Community: SEGULA Concert – Concert Is Not Just About the Performer
As someone who has put a lot of effort and years into making sure Segula is successful, it pains me to hear all the comments about why they are not attending the concert this Sunday. While I understand that it is impossible to please everyone in the community, Segula tries hard to bring in performers that will bring in a crowd and entertain appropriately. Every year, I hear criticism on who Segula should have brought in. Segula is not about concerts and performers.

Halachos of Shaving on Erev Shabbos/ Sunday Lag B’Omer
(Halachically Speaking-repost)
According to the opinion of the Mechaber, one may not take haircuts until the morning of the thirty-fourth day. The Rama holds that one may shave on Lag B’omer. Many apply this to the night of Lag B’omer (because tachanun is already omitted on erev Lag B’omer), while others say it means first thing in the morning. This is based on the concept that if one waits a little in the morning it is as if he waited a whole day (miktzas hayom k’kula). The custom of many seems to be that shaving or taking a haircut is permitted after neitz hachama.
Pesach Sheini
(Hakhel/ Repost)
Wednesday, April 24th is Pesach Sheni. HaRav Yaakov Tzvi Emden, Z’TL (“the Yaavetz”) writes in his Siddur that:
“It was revealed to me from Heaven why Pesach Sheni was established on the 14th day of Iyar. After all, it would not require more than two weeks for anyone who was impure or too far away on Pesach itself to come to Yerushalayim and bring the Pesach Sheni. So, why wait a month from the 14th of Nissan to the 14th of Iyar–the Pesach Sheni could have already been brought by Rosh Chodesh Iyar?!”
