#5471 A Vort on the Vort
Kvod Horav Shlit’a. I’m planing to get married (second marriage) on Wednesday the 2nd day of July (2025), I heard that it may be problematic is that true?
Although some people avoid getting married on Thursday the Seventh day of Tamuz, there is no issue on the day before. See also the Shaila included.
“4316 . Q. We Be’H are about to do a Vort (engagement) for our daughter, I heard that it should better not be done on the Seventh day of Tamuz is that correct?
Nitei Gavriel – Bein Hametzarim 1: 1. indeed quotes Sefer Chassidim (158 p. 162) that mentions that weddings should be avoided on the seventh day of the months of Elul, Shevat and Tamuz. He warns that it may cause t)he demise of one of the couple. Yet he also cites that some great Chassidic Rabbis got married on that day.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that even the Sefer Chassidim mentions only celebrating a wedding and not just a Vort, that should be permitted.
