Haircuts may be taken only on Erev Shavuos. Only? It is a preference, that’s all. This all sounds like a discussion among junior Litvishe bochurim. No pikchus and no chochma.

The question is being that the Rebbe change the minhog and allowed to make chasenes with music on 3 yemei hagbolo maybe there is also a change in the Rebbe Rashabs dislike to take haircuts then.

KSCVK should include an auction by CH barbers for first three haircuts. could yo imagine the lines on friday?

take a haircut?
May 19, 2015 9:28 am

that’s gotta be oholei torah shprach. you can take a shower, but not “take” a haircut. you GET one.

Of course in sforim there are opinions (and what you are quoting is brought in shevach hamoadim), however Rabbi Garelik is bringing a chabad source and one that is written by the source himself (Rabbi Dworkin). The “testimony” that you quote (from Shevach Hamoadim) do you know where that “testimony” was said? to whom? when?

halocho and minhag

Listening to music...
May 19, 2015 3:51 am

One may begin listening to music (and make weddings) on Wed night, the first of the three days of Hagboloh.

Haircuts are taken...
May 19, 2015 3:50 am

…Only on FRIDAY. we do NOT take them Thursday night.

What is teh Chidush
May 19, 2015 3:32 am

I do not understand the Chidush or peoples question.

Taking a haircut before Yom Tov is a Halacha, not cutting hair during the omer / sheloshes yemai hagbalah is a Minhag.

Thursday night:
May 19, 2015 2:34 am

Some poskim say yes, while others say no.
According to Rabbi Yosef Simcha Ginsburg there’s no problem.
But probably it should be done on Friday preferably

With all due repect Rabbi Gorelick
May 18, 2015 10:19 pm

this is brought in kaf Hachaim and in the Minchas Elozor. Rabbi Shmuel Levitin testified as well that so was custom in lubavitch to take the haircut Erev Shabbos when Shavuos is Sunday.
