The Ninth of Av

Ninth of Av Thoughts

The Talmud says, “Where it is the custom to do work on the ninth of Av, one may work; where it is the custom not to do work, one may not do work.” However, whoever does work on the Ninth of Av will not see a sign of blessing from that work.

Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zt"l | Menachem Av 5765


The Laws of Three Weeks

Laws Relating to the Three Weeks

If, during the Three Weeks, a person accidentally blessed "boreh pri ha'etz" over a new fruit, some authorities hold that the fruit should not be eaten. Others hold that pronouncing God's name in vain is a greater offense than eating the new fruit.

Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zt"l


The Ninth of Av

The Laws of the Nine Days

When the month of Av arrives, rejoicing should be minimized. A Jew must therefore avoid undertaking construction projects from which pleasure will be derived. Also, transactions should be minimized and one must refrain from consuming meat and wine.

Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zt"l | 5762
