For the Ilui
Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai
ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Rav Ovadia Shlita’s Halacha Email:
1. On Erev Tisha B’Av
(the daytime before the fast begins, meaning the end of 8th of Av)
our Hachamim (Sages) made it prohibited to eat meat and drink wine during the Seuda Mafseket (the final meal before
the beginning of the fast which can be eaten after Jewish midday, 1:01pm EST).
It is also forbidden to eat more than one cooked dish, for example one may not
have a hard boiled egg and baked potato for the meal, and more rules apply.
However, because this year Tisha B’Av falls on Shabbat and we postpone the fast
to Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night), we must hold the Seuda Mafseket during
Seuda Shelishit (the Third meal of Shabbat, eaten Shabbat afternoon), which is
a meal where one can eat all he/she wants like the Seuda of Shelomo HaMelech
and no mourning customs take place!
2. Therefore, Rav Ovadia explains that the Halacha states
that during the Seuda Mafseket that falls during Seuda Shelishit of Shabbat
Kodesh, one may eat meat and drink wine and sing Zemirot Shabbat lichvod (for
the respect of) Shabbat.
3. There has been different rulings regarding the Havdalah
of Motzei Shabbat when Tisha B’Av falls on Motzei Shabbat as well. Rav Ovadia
holds the Halacha like Maran Shulhan Aruch, which states one should do Havdalah
for Shabbat immediately at the end of Tisha B’Av (Sunday night) and do Havdalah
on a glass of wine. However, on Motzei Shabbat we do signs of Havdalah. One may
not do Havdalah on wine because of the fast so one says “Baruch HaMavdil Ben Kodesh Lehol” and says a Beracha of Boreh Meorei HaEsh on a candle like during
a normal Havdalah.
Shabbat Shalom &
Tzom Mo’il (meaningful fast).
