- Q – My dearest Rav Shli”a, I thank the Rav for all the so many answers you have written to me and the others of my group throughout many years.
I just attended a simcha in a new Shul in our neighborhood this Sunday morning (8: 10: 25), the day after Tu Beav, and after Davening, I heard a few people greeting each other with the customary blessing said on and close to Rosh Hashanah of Ketiva Vechatima Tova.
As I never heard this blessing said so much before the days of Judgement, we got into an argument.
Is it true and right for them, to already start using this blessing now?
A. Indeed, some Poskim write that it is customary for some to use already as early now this greeting.
See Nitei Gaveriel (98: 15), Shaar Yisoschor and others who quote that the tradition of (some) Chasidim, is to bless each other already today with a Ketiva Vechatima Tova.
