Sephardic Jews Permitted to Eat Meat-Based Broth During Nine Days, Rabbi Explains

Rabbi Benjamin Hotah, a leading halachic authority, presents a daily brief on Jewish law in the 'Halacha in 60 Seconds' segment on Kikar HaShabbat. In a recent episode, he clarified that Sephardic Jews are allowed to consume meat-based broth, such as powdered meat soup, even during the Nine Days period leading up to Tisha B'Av, except on the eve of Tisha B'Av itself. This leniency does not apply to Ashkenazi Jews, who maintain stricter observance during this time. The segment aims to succinctly explain relevant laws and customs, providing practical guidance for daily observance during this solemn period commemorating the destruction of the Temple.
