Relations before Rosh Hashanah
Question
My partner said that we cannot have intimate relations 10 days before Rosh Hashanah. I am confused because my research says that is not true. I want to respect my partner but am worried she is not being truthful.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
As a married couple the laws of Nidda/family purity are the same before Rosh Hashana as they are all year.
There is no reason that relations should be forbidden if the female partner is not Nidda during this time.
