Mattos – Their word is His Bond
Bamidbar 30:2 " ....he may not break his word "
M any of our great Sages were extremely careful to fulfil even the
appearance of a vow or a promise. Rav Yeshua Leib Diskin,
(1817 –1898) the Rav of Brisk and later Yerushalayim once attended a
gathering to eulogize one of his students who had passed away a week
earlier. After the service the chazan said a special prayer for the soul of the
departed, known as “keyl molei rachamaim.”
Afterwards the crowd dispersed. Maharil Dsiskin however summoned the
shamash (attendant) of the synagogue, and gave him a coin. The shamash
wondered why the Rov was giving him the coin.
“We just read that tsedaka will be given on behalf of the community for
the elevation of the soul of the departed, and I wish to insure that the
community will not be remiss in the fulfillment of their obligation.”

Special Halachos Pertaining to Tisha B’Av
that falls on Shabbos
On Shabbos afternoon it is permissible to study subjects not per-
taining to Tisha B’Av. It is customary not to study Pirkei Avos.
There is no seudah hamafsekes. It is permissible to eat and drink
whatever one wishes. some permit swallowing a pill that makes it
easier to fast. Birkas haMazon may be said with a zimun. Zemiros
may be sung. Eating, drinking, or washing any part of the body is
permitted only until sunset. if you bentched before sunset, you
may eat or drink until sunset without a precondition. You may sit
on a chair until nightfall. Since it is not proper to wear Shabbos
clothes on Tisha B’Av, it is best to change clothes after nightfall.
Baruch haMavdil should be recited before changing into week-
day clothes. No preparations for Tisha B’Av may be made until
Shabbos is over. Tisha b’Av shoes or Kinos [unless studied on
Shabbos] may not brought to shul until nightfall, even in an area
with an eiruv. Shabbos shoes may not be removed until night-
fall. After Ma’ariv but before the reading of Eicha, a candle is lit
and Borei me’orei ha’eish is recited. If you forgot to do so, you
may recite it anytime throughout the night. It is proper for all the
listeners to sit down while the blessing is recited. Dirty dishes
from Shabbos should not be washed until Sunday after chatzos,
unless they will attract insects.
