Rabbi's Corner

Tisha B'Av Edition
Dear Friends,
With the fast of Tisha B'Av approaching I would like to use this space to briefly summarize the relevant laws pertaining to this unique fast day. In addition to the obvious prohibition against eating, Tisha B'Av carries several restrictions of morning not associated with any other fast day.
First, the practices of morning actually begin on the Sunday before Tisha B'Av. The sages decreed that for shavua she-hal bo, the week before Tisha B'Av, we are not permitted to do laundry, wear laundered clothing or shave or get haircuts. These restrictions continue through Tisha B'Av.
On Tisha B'Av itself, we observe the same restrictions as those of Yom Kippur. We do not wash ourselves, use oils, or wear leather shoes.
Additionally we observe other practices associated with being in a house of mourning. We do not learn Torah other than the passages related to mourning or the Hurban, we do not great each other, and we do not sit on chairs until at least midday. If possible, one should avoid going into work on Tisha B'Av as well.
Of course, questions may arise before or during the fast in which case please do not hesitate to contact me at rabbi@stantonstshul.com. If anyone has a medical condition which would affect their ability to fast, please consult with a medical professional first.
Wishing everyone a meaningful fast and a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Josh Yuter
