ArmedJew, singing sad tunes this shabbos IS minhag. Just as the prohibitions of the nine days were minhag (we observe them, nonetheless).

No offense,

A few of these halachos are disputed by great people.

1 – Most Shuls will not use a tone of lamentation when reading the words of Moshe in vaeschannan.

2 – the author mentions “shalosh seudos should be eaten at home and not in shul” many great people acted differently.

Generally, the author of this article is very open minded when writing such articles.

Using sad tunes on shabbos is dangerous. I understand the litvish world enjoys these things, but it should certainly be presented as an opinion/minhag, not din.

According to the Mishna Berura תקנ”ח ס”ק ד וה’ ובשעה”צ אות ד everything is permitted at night except for drinking wine (besides havdala) and eating meat.

Haircuts, showers, music etc. are all permitted at night.

One issue I was hoping to see addressed in this column was not mentioned. On Sunday night after the fast it id customary not to eat meat and drink wine besides the wine of havdolo until Monday morning. However, on the issue of showering and washing clothes and music, it is unclear what the custom is since it is a nidche this year. Please adress those issues and quote the source.

If one is home after nightfall he may recite boruch hamavdil bein koidesh lechoil and switch to non leather shoes. He does not have to wait for borchu. That only applies when you are in shul and saying borchu right by the zman.

But if one is home before going to shul, can you switch to non-leather shoes at home, after Shabbos, and before driving to shul?

I was thinking the same thing. Great article, but would be great if you can answer the questions you began with. Thanks
