Tisha BeAv: Difference between revisions

#According to Ashkenazim, one may not eat meat, launder clothing, bathe, take haircuts, or listen to music<ref>Halachos of the Three Weeks p. 32</ref> until mid-day of the tenth of Av.<ref>Rama 558:1, Mishnah Berurah 558:3 based on Sh"t Maharshal 92. Under extenuating circumstances, Shemirat Shabbat Kihilchata 42:16 and Piskei Teshuvot 558:2 allow one to do laundry immediately after the fast. For example, The Three Weeks allows doing laundry immediately after tisha b'av if he's traveling the next morning. Similarly, Sh"t Teshuvot Vihanhagot 2:260 allows one to shower right after tisha b'av if necessary.  </ref> According to Sephardim, one may not eat meat or drink wine until sunset of the tenth of Av.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 558:1, Kaf HaChaim 558:10, Shaare Teshuva 558:2, Chazon Ovadia p. 413, Or Letzion 29:26. </ref> It is permitted for Sephardim to shower, do laundry, and take haircuts immediately after Tisha B'av.<ref>Sh"t Yechave Daat 5:41, Chazon Ovadia Arba Taniyot p. 415, Or Letzion 29:26, Halachot and History of The [[Three Weeks]], The Akkad Edition, Congregation Shaare Rahamim Halachot Series page 66. However, it is important to note that the Kaf HaChaim 558:6 quotes the stringent opinion without arguing. This opinion is cited by HaRav Mordechai Eliyahu in Hilchot Chagim 29:3. See also [http://ph.yhb.org.il/05-10-19/ Peninei Halakha] especially footnote 1 who makes the same observation that even among Sephardic poskim there are many different opinions. </ref>

#It is permitted to recite [[Shehechiyanu]] immediately after Tisha B'av is over.<ref>Chazon Ovadia Arba Taniyot p. 415 citing Maharashdam 4:148, Yafa Lelev 6:558, Hitorerut Teshuva 362, and Shevet Halevi 6:70:10.</ref> Others disagree and hold shehechiyanu should not be recited until after the tenth of Av.<ref>Chida (Machzik Bracha 558:3), Or Letzion 29:26</ref>
