Lag Baomer on Motzaei Shabbat
Various Rabbis
19 Iyyar 5764
Question
Do we light Lag Baomer bonfires on Motzaei Shabbat this year, or do we put it off to Sunday - like we did with Yom Hazikaron & Yom Haatzmaut?
Answer
We light on Motzei Shabbat, and we can prepare it on Friday, or right after Shabbat, since each one has a private bonfire, and it's not a public ceremony that involves a lot of preparing and people coming from throughout the country.
