# 778 Don’t Lag Behind

Poskim permit for someone who follows Minhag Ariza”l to do the chalaka of his son on Lag Baomer since the Ariza”l himself did so.(Shulchan Hatohor 260: 8, Kaf Hachaim 100: 13,Birkei Yosef 493: 6) Minchas Elozor adds that the minhag Ariza”l from the onset was only meant for the great and Baalei Kabbolo, and not for children.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a position is similar.
