#5890 - Milking Lag Baomer Dry?

Question

Dear Rabbi Shlit’a. I heard that there is a minhag (tradition) to eat a meal of milk sources on Lag Baomer, is that true?

Answer

We had years back a similar question 1701.

Q. Kvod Harav, a couple of questions on Lag Baomer minhagim.

Is it true that there is a minhag to make a milchig (milk) seuda on Lag Baomer?

A. Nitei Gavriel (Pesachim 3: 59: 22) quoting Ezor Eliahu, indeed quotes a minhag to eat milchig foods on Lag Baomer.

See next question.
