July 15 at night, is the Home Run Derby at Citi Field, in conjunction with this years All Star Game which is July 16, Tisha B’av. This reminds me of the people who went to a Jet game on Tzom Gedaliah, which happens to be on 9/8 this year; a Sunday and the Jets season opener, and at half time a minyan for Mincha was made with a Sefer Torah for leining.
Will people be sitting in the parking lot, leining Eicha, and then attending the Home Run Derby as well as attending the All Star Game on Tiha B’av??
Let us get our priorities right!!! L’shana Haba B’Yerushalyim!!!
Don’t worry moshiach will come long before the mets win the world series again.
So you’re asking if anyone will do it, not knowing if anyone will, and saying we need to get our priorities straight? Why don’t you first find out if anyone is planning on going before saying something? Maybe our priorities are already straight!
I happen to have “won” in the drawing for All-Star Game tix. I had my code to order tickets. But when I realized the date was Tisha B’Av, I gave the code to a non-Jewish co-worker so he could go instead.
Do you approve of my priorities?
Tzom Gedaliah is very different than Tisha B’Av. We don’t keep hilchos aveilus on Tzom Gedaliah.
I thought this thread would be about a pre-Tisha B’av kinus at Citi Field.
A ta’anit is not a proper time to go to a ball game. Like immersing in a mikvah holding a sheretz. It’s not appropriate.
I’ll let you know if any Jews make the All Star team so the Vaad HaBaseball can stand outside and scream nebach! Even better, they could work the gates to make sure no Jews are entering. If a Jew is found, shun him and make sure his kids never get married.
Additionally, being outside for several hours on a fast day can cause dehydration.
There are some Shomer Shabbos people who claim to have gone to the Mets World Series Game 6, Bill Buckner game, on Leil Simchas Torah. They walked to the game in the afternoon of Shmeni Etzeres, did not take any money or muktzah with them. Not sure what they did about the admission ticket, its probably like a shtar and should be muktzeh. Some people I know went to a TV store where the TV’s were on and watched the game. Baruch Hashem we have our priorities straight.
It’s a day of Teshuva. This occured right after the first Churban, a Tzadik was killed, and right after Rosh Hashana,
If you were told that you are absolutely free & welcome to attend this game, just that you have to stay perched on a tight rope with a noose around your neck for the entire duration of the game:- How would you feel about having a place {even though with such an excellent view} on the tight rope right above the playing field?
This is not even an issue of dehydration, because after Tzom Gedaliah you can eat & drink all you wish for [other than Pas Akkum & Cholov Stam] but you will have to remain perched on this tight rope with the noose around your neck, until the conclusion of Ne’iloh.
Like immersing in a mikvah holding a sheretz.
This is an analogy that I fail to understand. Sure it would make sence if someone actually went to a Mikvah to remove Tumas Sheretz but I don’t know of anyone who went to a Mikvah for that reason.
