Rabbi Nahum Nosvacher Explains Buying New Clothes or Utensils During Bein HaMetzarim
Rabbi Nahum Nosvacher, a leading figure at the Shaar HaTalmud Yeshiva, presents a new halachic segment on Kikar HaShabbat called "A Minute from the Beit Horaah." In this episode, he discusses the permissibility of purchasing new clothes or household items during Bein HaMetzarim, the three-week mourning period in the Jewish calendar.
The guidance is based on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried, providing clarity for observant Jews on how to navigate these customs. The segment is part of a daily series addressing practical halachic questions, with previous episodes covering topics such as giving gifts on Shabbat.
This discussion is particularly relevant as many in the Haredi community observe restrictions during Bein HaMetzarim, and the video format allows for accessible learning. The episode was released on July 3, 2026, and is available for viewing on Kikar HaShabbat's platform.
