Question
Is it permissible to renew orthopedic insoles that I have been waiting for a long time? Is it permissible to listen to vocal songs during the Three Weeks?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
A. There is no issue with renewing insoles during the Three Weeks, and even during the Nine Days, as they are not considered clothing but a health accessory.
B. According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, one should not listen to vocal songs during the Three Weeks, but one should not protest against those who are lenient. [Provided they do not sound like regular music].
