Guidelines for Erev Tisha B’AV

›     If you are davening Ma’ariv in Shul Motzei Shabbat, please bring your non-leather shoes to Shul before Shabbat and leave them in a bag with your name on it in the coatroom.

›     Regular Torah learning is allowed the entire Shabbat.

›     Meat can be eaten as usual the entire Shabbat.

›     There is no Seuda Mafseket this year, since Erev Tisha B’Av falls on Shabbat, but all eating must conclude by 8:02pm.

›     Regular Havdalah is not said on Motzei Shabbat. One should say “hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol” after 8:47pm and then say “borei m’orei ha’aish” on a fire.
