Questions on the Laws of Rosh Hashanah
Question
Hello, honorable rabbi,
I wanted to ask a few questions about Rosh Hashanah:
1. Is it permitted to watch television or be on the computer on Rosh Hashanah?
2. Is it permitted to travel?
3. Is it permitted to be on a cellphone?
4. And on which days, and at approximately what time, are the shofar blasts in the synagogue? I very much hope that you will answer my questions before the holiday.
Shabbat shalom and blessed.
Answer
Hello and blessings
1.2.3. It is forbidden.
All the laws are like Shabbat, except for cooking for the holiday, which is permitted by transferring fire from a flame lit before the holiday.
4. Every synagogue has different times; you should check at the synagogue nearest your place of residence.
With blessings,
Binyamin Shmueli
