Shabbat and school

Question

I have a required marching band event on shabbat and I dont know if I can do it due to shabbat. I just need to know because I believe they can make an exception for shabbat.

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

There are many, many reasons why it is forbidden to participate in a marching band on Shabbat.

I am sure your local rabbi can write you a letter excusing you from such an event, if needed.

The observance of Shabbat is the source of all blessings!
