Lag Ba’omer is a minor holiday that occurs on the 33rd day of the Omer, the 49-day period between Passover and Shavuot. Celebrations often include bonfires, weddings and haircuts. Most notably it’s the one day during the Omer when Jewish law permits Weddings. Why? According to a medieval tradition, the plague ceased on the 33rd day, Lag Ba’omer, a joyful day amid sorrow.
A truly Orthodox believer honors the day by getting married while his bride cuts his hair and then sets the Chuppah on fire.
Biblical Scholars refer to The Old Testament Book of Irving where they believe the phrase “Trifecta of Faith” refers to this practice. Sounds a bit nutty?
Have faith my child.
