* The Bach 493 quotes the Minhagim who says that it’s permitted to get married on [[Rosh Chodesh]] Iyar if it falls out on [[Shabbat]] and explains that it’s based on the fact that there’s a combination of the [[kedusha]] of [[rosh chodesh]] and [[kedusha]] of [[Shabbat]] to override [[mourning]] of Sefira. Pri Megadim (E”A 493:2) clarifies that the Bach means getting married on Friday because it’s forbidden to get married on [[Shabbat]]. Regarding this Bach, the Pri [[Chadash]] 493:3 writes that the same is true for haircuts. Thus, Mishna Brurah 493:5 writes that if [[Rosh Chodesh]] Iyar falls out on [[Shabbat]] one may cut one’s hair on Friday. Kitzur S”A 120:6 and S”A HaRav 493:8 agree. It seems clear from the above achronim that [[Rosh Chodesh]] alone isn’t sufficient to permit cutting one’s hair. </ref> | * The Bach 493 quotes the Minhagim who says that it’s permitted to get married on [[Rosh Chodesh]] Iyar if it falls out on [[Shabbat]] and explains that it’s based on the fact that there’s a combination of the [[kedusha]] of [[rosh chodesh]] and [[kedusha]] of [[Shabbat]] to override [[mourning]] of Sefira.

* | * Rav Shlomo Zalman (cited by Shalmei Moed pg 449-450) and Rav Yacov Kamenetsky (Emet L’Yaakov 493 note 467) hold that one may not shave during the sefira for [[Kavod Shabbat]]. (It seems evident from the Mishna Brurah 493:5 that one may not cut one’s hair because of [[Kavod Shabbat]] alone.) | ||
* However, Rav Lichtenstein (vbm.org) ruled that not only is it permitted but an obligation to shave for [[kavod Shabbat]] during sefira just like [[Kavod Shabbat]] theoretically overrides the [[nine days]] (see Mishna Brurah 551:32). Similarly, Rav Ovadyah in Chazon Ovadyah ([[Yom Tov]] pg 262) and Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 431) writes that if one is in great pain one may shave every Friday.</ref> | * However, Rav Lichtenstein (vbm.org) ruled that not only is it permitted but an obligation to shave for [[kavod Shabbat]] during sefira just like [[Kavod Shabbat]] theoretically overrides the [[nine days]] (see Mishna Brurah 551:32).

# Some authorities permit [[shaving]] in honor of [[Yom HaAtzmaut]], however, some disagree. <ref> Rabbi Eliezer Melamed (Peninei Halacha "[[Yom HaAtzmaut]]") writes that those who shave regularly should shave prior [[Yom HaAtzmaut]] in order to look presentable for the holiday. He also quotes Rav Yitzchak Nissim and Rav Tzvi Yehuda HaCohen Kook who agreed. Shana Beshana (5752, p. 145) quotes Rav Tzvi [[Pesach]] Frank as agreeing. Shana B’shana (5752, p. 145) quotes Rav Tzvi [[Pesach]] Frank as agreeing. Rav Shaul Yisraeli in Mareh HaBezek 4:54 permits [[shaving]] from after midday prior to [[Yom HaAtzmaut]] even for those living outside [[Israel]]. However, Yaskil Avdi 6:10 and Rav Soloveitchik (quoted by Rav Schachter in Nefesh HaRav p. 94) argue.</ref> | # Some authorities permit [[shaving]] in honor of [[Yom HaAtzmaut]], however, some disagree. <ref> Rabbi Eliezer Melamed (Peninei Halacha "[[Yom HaAtzmaut]]") writes that those who shave regularly should shave prior [[Yom HaAtzmaut]] in order to look presentable for the holiday.
