– Q. Dear Rabbi. I’m supposed to sign in tomorrow into a new big business and real expensive investment, that is also a very important for some Chesed charities and a great mitzva for my children’s support and others.
As the Rabbi advised, I was waiting until the end of the Three Weeks for doing so. Now I heard and read that it may be even better to wait until after Tu Beav on this coming Shabbat Nachamu. What should I do to get the best Mazal?
A. On question 5087 we wrote:
“Q. I’m getting married next week for a third time, with a chupa done in a small Shul. Is it best to wait until after T’u Beav is over, or is it sufficient just after Shabbat Nachamu or even after the Tenth of Av?
A. Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit”a and the rest of our Rabbonim maintain that the sooner the better, since “Zerizim Makdimin Lemitzvos” (The agile and nimble are fast and early in performing miyzvos). In our case it involved the help to many that we must observe.
