Swimming in a Pool on Rosh Hashanah
Swimming in a Pool on Rosh Hashanah
Question
Hello!
I would be glad to know whether it is permitted to swim in a pool or in the sea on Rosh Hashanah?
Many thanks!!
Answer
Hello,
One should not enter a pool or the sea on Rosh Hashanah - see the attached link for sources, since it's like Shabbat, and there is no difference between Shabbat and Yom Tov in this regard.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
