My in-laws are very particular to never open an umbrella or otherwise make a tent indoors. Does anyone know the source for this?
October 30, 2014 4:38 am at 4:38 am #1038898JosephParticipantIsn’t there an issue wearing a big hat becoming an ohel?

October 30, 2014 9:18 pm at 9:18 pm #1038902MRS PLONYParticipantI’ve heard that one, too. But what if you’re already married? And what about making a ‘tent’ out of two chairs and a blanket for playing camp-out? Or opening the hood of a baby carriage?
October 30, 2014 9:32 pm at 9:32 pm #1038903👑RebYidd23ParticipantIf the rain one is true you just solved the shidduch crisis.
October 30, 2014 10:19 pm at 10:19 pm #1038904☕️coffee addictParticipantrebyidd,
it didnt say when they would get married
October 30, 2014 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #1038905Sam2ParticipantI don’t know about an Issur. I doubt one exists. Etiquette dictates not to open an umbrella in a house. So maybe being Makpid not to open an umbrella indoors is Chukas Akum?
October 30, 2014 11:21 pm at 11:21 pm #1038906👑RebYidd23ParticipantBut it’s a guarantee that they will get married. Also good when there’s a drought.
October 31, 2014 1:01 am at 1:01 am #1038907MRS PLONYParticipantUh, why does etiquette dictate not to open an umbrella in a house?
I’ve heard all sorts of interesting things, and then learned that there are real, halachic reasons for not doing them (usually summarized as ‘it is brought down in seforim hakedoshim’). Examples: Not interleaving one’s fingers, not showing a baby his or her reflection in a mirror until he or she has teeth, not having a bird in the house.
So I thought that someone in CR-land would have a source for this.

November 2, 2014 3:57 am at 3:57 am #1038909MRS PLONYParticipantRight, but that’s Shabbos. They don’t do these things even during the week.
(I just know that some joker’s going to ask how showing a baby his reflection is boneh.)
November 2, 2014 4:14 am at 4:14 am #1038910👑RebYidd23ParticipantOpening an umbrella indoors is dangerous.
November 2, 2014 4:22 am at 4:22 am #1038911Patur Aval AssurParticipantThere is plenty of discussion in Taharos about ohel inside an ohel or house and I have yet to see anyone say anything against making one. If there is such an issue, it’s probably kaballah. R’ Shlomo Aviner was asked about it and he said that it’s a superstition:
“Opening Umbrella Inside
Q: Is it unlucky to open an umbrella inside
A: Superstition. (but not to be done on Shabbat, as an umbrella is Muktzeh)”
November 2, 2014 4:24 am at 4:24 am #1038912👑RebYidd23ParticipantIt could poke someone in the eye.
