A Steady Clip

The Lincoln Center Barber Shop
sharpened its scissors for a long day
of snipping and sweeping.

eff Levy opened his shop a lit-
tle earlier and closed a little
later than usual on Thursday,
May 14.
What with a one-day window of
opportunity for Jews to cut their hair
during the seven weeks between
Passover and Shavuot (May 31), Levy
was armed for the traditional Lag
B'Omer crush at the Lincoln Center
Barber Shop. He was booked solid
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Lag B'Omer falls on the 33rd day
of the counting of the omer, which
begins after Passover and ends on
Shavuot. It is considered a happy holi-
day and is celebrated by trips to the
park, bonfire singalongs and, of
course, haircuts. ❑
