Question
Hello, my husband is celebrating his birthday on the 7th of Av (this year it falls on a Sunday). Is it appropriate to celebrate with the family at a Melave Malka meal even though it falls during the Nine Days?
Answer
Hello
It is permitted to celebrate with the family.
With other people, it is allowed to celebrate, but without a meal that includes bread.
