DANGER-NO SWIMMING


Some claim not to go swimming during the Sefira

The Steipler zt"l opposed this argument and held

The Steipler answered, "they didn't drown because

they swam during the Sefirah. They drowned because

they went swimming in dangerous areas where

it is forbidden to swim and there were no lifeguards."
