The Three Weeks The Fast of the 17th of Tammuz initiates a period of mourning for the Jewish people known as the 3 Weeks. According to R. Joseph Soloveitchik zt”l this period mirrors the 12 month mourning over a parent.
This time period is characterized by 3 types of prohibitions: 1. Celebrations are limited • A simple gathering of 2 or 3 families in a restaurant would not be considered a celebration. • A larger gathering, however, would be prohibited during this time period. • While the general example of a larger gathering is weddings, any party (even without music) would be prohibited during the 3 weeks. • Live and recorded music are prohibited during this time period. One may be lenient and listen to a cappella recordings. R. Aharon Lichtenstein zt”l permits functional use of recorded music (e.g. to keep you awake while driving or to motivate you during exercise).
2. Haircuts are prohibited • Like the 12 month mourning, shaving would be permitted for necessity and professionalism. • One may certainly shave for Shabbos
3. Shehechiyanu - one may not purchase new clothes or any new item which would require a shehechiyanu. • The Mishna Berurah allows for the recitation of Shehechiyanu on Shabbos. Therefore one may purchase an item especially for Shabbos. • A sale item which will not be available after the three weeks may be purchased, but cannot be used until after Tisha b'Av.
One may swim and wash regularly during this time. With any specific questions please contact rabbi@yiplainview.com or (718) 510-5852
