Orit Greenfeld, You Will be Missed!

With mixed feelings we wish our cherished Orit Greenfeld all the best on her journey as she spends her last Shabbat with us here in Los Angeles before returning home to Eretz Israel. You are a wonderful member of our community; always getting involved and lending a hand - and always with warmth and a smile. You were one of just two women who completed the CSS training and you spent many hours safeguarding the community - for that we thank you. We wish you so much joy and success and will miss you dearly!

The Nine Days—Laws and Customs
Heightened mourning, uplifting visions and rejoicing with mitzvot
The first nine days of the month of Av, and also the morning of the
tenth, are days of acute mourning for the destruction of the first and
second Holy Temples.
During this time, we don’t:
  • Eat meat (including poultry) or drink wine, for during this period the sacrifices and wine libations in the Holy Temple ceased. The exceptions to this rule are meat and wine consumed on Shabbat or as part of a meal that celebrates a mitzvah, such as a circumcision, bar mitzvah, or the completion of a tractate of the Talmud.
  • Launder clothing (except for a baby’s)—even if they will not be worn during the Nine Days—or wear freshly laundered outer clothing. Those who wish to change their clothing daily should prepare a number of garments and briefly don each of them before the onset of the Nine Days. Then it is permitted to wear these “non-freshly laundered” garments during the Nine Days.
  • We don’t consume meat or wine, for during this period the sacrifices and wine libations ceased
  • Swim or bathe for pleasure.
  • Remodel or expand a home.
  • Plant trees to be used for shade or fragrance (as opposed to fruit trees).
  • Buy, sew, weave or knit new clothing—even if they will be worn only after the Nine Days.
  • Exceptions to this rule: (a) If you will miss a major sale, or if the garment will be unavailable later. (b) For the purpose of a mitzvah, such as purchasing new clothing for a bride and groom.
  • Cut nails during the actual week of the fast of Tisha B’Av—i.e., starting from the Saturday night before the fast until the conclusion of the Nine Days.
