FROM THE ROV 

• ​Isolation issues: Some people are finding the enforced isolation very difficult and depressing. If you are having problems, please reach out to me and I will put you in touch with a pro who can help.
• Lag B'Omer – No Tachanun, on May 11th Mincha AND No Tachanun on Tuesday, May 12th Shacharis & Mincha. Haircuts are allowed after sunrise on Tuesday May 12th.
• Counting sefira: 

1. The proper time is count is at night, after dark, with a bracha
2. If you forgot, you can count during the day, without a bracha, and that night you can go back to counting with a bracha
3. If you forgot to count that day altogether, you continue counting in the usual way, but without a bracha
