Can One Make a Wedding During the Three Weeks?

This shiur explores whether halachah permits holding weddings during the Three Weeks, the period of national mourning between Shivah Asar B’Tammuz and Tishah B’Av. The discussion delves into distinctions between kiddushin and nesu’in, the prohibition of weddings especially from Rosh Chodesh Av, and whether exceptions—such as military deployment, immigration needs, or financial hardship—may allow leniency. We also examine the status of celebratory meals and how halachah weighs personal joy against communal mourning. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
