147- i once heard someone say (don’t know where he got it sounds chasidish to me )that even lfi the second half dudes you are aloud to take a haircut on lag baomer. He said that they hold the talmidei rebi akiva only died on regular days not on yomim tovim (yeah, but what yom tov was it in their time?). To give an example he added they only died on days you say tachnun. so Someone asked him lfi zeh some chasidim who never say tachnun when did they die. He answered I guess they all died on Hey Iyar.
