Torah Study on Shabbos Tisha B'Av and Shul Rededication Berachah

Date: 23 Tammuz 5596

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Nosson Freider

Description

Two questions are addressed: whether public Torah gatherings may be held on Shabbos when Tisha B'Av is postponed to Sunday, and whether HaTov VeHaMeitiv is recited at the rededication of a fire-destroyed synagogue. The Chasam Sofer permits the Shabbos gatherings and rules HaTov VeHaMeitiv is appropriate.
