<DIV>In response to Yitzchok Levine's mailing, please be aware that it is the
custom of the Spanish & Portuguese (S&P) Jews' Congregation in London to
use the term Lag LaOmer. This term is featured in their siddurim. Furthermore,
the customs of this congregation were examined by Rabbi Shem Tob Gaguine in his
Keter Shem Tob. There in Vol. 1 pgs. 724-725 you will find a lengthy examination
of which Nussach is most correct, LaOmer or BaOmer, where he brings
extensive proofs to support the S&P custom. </DIV>
