The best news I have heard all week

Even though its sefiras haomer women can shave their underarms and eyebrows (can we invoke a kal vachomer for other hairy areas that fall under this halachic item?)

I myself have decided to go for the scruffy dirty hippie look for now and refuse to shave anything.

  1. I went to a very religious school and although we were taught that we arent allowed to cut our hair during the omer, no one ever mentioned other body hair. it’s weird because i never really thought about it and just go and wax like i always do even though I would never cut my hair. There is no way I am not going to wax for 7 weeks..

    So you’re not shaving down below during sefirah?

    🙂

  3. They used to make special razors for that area but, I haven’t seen them on the market lately. They are smaller and the blade is guarded. There is like a plastic comb over it. So the hair goes in and gets cut but the blade doesn’t directly touch the skin.

    Shark,
    I think most adult entertainers normally do. I can’t imagine that a Jewish strippers gives a care as to the halachah of doing so during sefiras.
