[Avodah] Who First Said It? 7 - Mourning during Sefirah

[Ben Waxman]

Proffesor Sperber cites the tshuvot of the gaonim that one does not marry
between Pesach and Shavuot. Also they did not work at night until the next
morning.  Professor Sperber then quotes Rav Avraham ben Rav Natan HaYerchi
that the custom has changed to allow marriage after Lg B'Omer.
