Q. Rov I just don’t understand the opinion of the many who maintain that the days of the mourning for the Talmidim of Rabi Akiva begin with the second day of Pesach and end at Lag Baomer, how and when can one mourn in Yom Tov?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in a way we do since we do not cut our hair on those days.
