- Q. Dear Rov Shlit’a. As we spoke by phone, I have a cousin of mine that about a year ago lost his wife, and now he is visiting me, also on a business trip. He happens to be the owner of a number of large corporations and is indeed a very wealthy man.
I suggested to him a great good shiduch and it turned out to be very acceptable to him, and is now already planing his marriage.
After following the necessary preparations with his bride they decided to get married on Lag Baomer, since for busy him, it is the only correct time. The wedding is to take place on Lag Baomer Thursday night (2025), which happens to be unique for both large families to attend.
They have a few unanswered remaining questions. First, since they have youngsters attending the Chupa and they want to do it as early as possible, when is the earliest he can shave? Can he do it after sunset (Shekiah), before proper night?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in need, since it is for a specific great Mitzva, it can be done then.
