[Avodah] Correction to Tachanun During Nissan

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

I sent out a couple of days ago.

The following is from today's Halacha for 
Today  http://halachafortodaycom.blogspot.com/

The Maharil writes, to explain this apparent discrepancy between the 
Talmud and the words of the Tur,  that they died on all of the days 
between Pesach and Shavuos except on the days that we do not say 
Tachanun. These days are: 7 days of Pesach, 2 days of Rosh Chodesh 
Iyar, Rosh Chodesh Sivan, the 7 Shabbasos in sefira; 17 days in all.

Therefore they only died on 32 of the 49 days. As a commemoration of 
this, we designate the "33rd" day as the day that the dying stopped 
and we celebrate that day, but not that it totally stopped on Lag B'Omer.

----------
Note this calculation is wrong.  If one counts 7 days of Pesach then 
one has included one Shabbos.  This leaves 6 Shabbasos until 
Shavuous. Thus one has 7 days of Pesach,  6 Shabbasos,  2 days Rosh 
Chodesh Iyar and one day Rosh Chodesh Sivan.  Hence 7+6+2+1 = 16 days 
on which Tachanun was not said.  49 -16 = 33, and this is where the 
33 days of aveilus comes from.  Thus Tachanun was said not only 
during Nissan except for the days that are excluded,  but also on Lag 
B'Omer . YL
