Talk:The Three Weeks

Universally Accepted?
First see what I wrote here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Nine_Days

And statements like "Jewish law forbids taking a haircut, shaving or listening to music during this time. No Jewish marriages are allowed during the Three Weeks, since the joy of such an event would conflict with the expected mood of mourning during this time." Is not accepted by all minhagim. Furthermore, regarding marriage, the first stage of marriage is allowed even on the 9th of Av itself according to all opinions. Also note that the Ramah introduced the "Three Weeks" with "Yesh Machmirim" - there are those who are strict.


 * I agree that the article is biased toward the ashcanazi viewpoint. If you want to change it to incorporate other views are well you are more than welcome to.  Jon513 (talk) 00:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't understand why the external link that I tried to create was deleted. It would link users to a Jewish law guidebook that details the laws and customs of the Three Weeks. What was the problem?

The Nine Days
Anyone object to cutting this section? The Nine Days has its own page, which is wikilinked to earlier in this article. חנינא (talk) 04:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
