Yes, you can get married after Lag BaOmer!
Hereβs the deal: during the Counting of the Omer β the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot β itβs traditional for observant Jews to avoid celebrations like weddings, because itβs considered a semi-mourning period (due to a tragic plague that hit Rabbi Akivaβs students, according to tradition).
But! Lag BaOmer, which falls on the 33rd day, is a break in that mourning. Itβs a celebratory day β bonfires, music, even haircuts for little boys. So once Lag BaOmer hits, weddings are totally back on the table for many people, especially starting that evening.
Some more traditional or stricter communities might wait a bit longer depending on their customs, but for most, yes β weddings after Lag BaOmer are a go.
