948.0. "Wedding Fast" by LDYBUG::PINCK (STB ::GREEN like real soon! ) Thu Jun 07 1990 17:08

    
    I am getting married at the end of the month, the 
    Jewish date is 1 Tammuz.  I was planning on
    fasting before the wedding but I just read
    that one is not allowed to fast on Rosh
    Chodesh.  Is this correct?  If it is,  the first
    of the month IS Rosh Chodesh?  right?
    
    Anyway, if someone can clear this up for me I can fix 
    the wedding program :-).
    
    Also,  does anyone have a nice design that I can put
    on the front page?  I have made something up in 
    PAINT, but it would be nice to have something more
    'professional', 
    
    Thanks,
    Amy

948.2	30 Sivan and 1 Tammuz are both Rosh Chodesh	CLT::CLTMAX::dick	Schoeller - Failed Xperiment	`Thu Jun 07 1990 17:47`	13
	Amy, Mazal Tov! There are some circumstances where the last day of the previous month is Rosh Chodesh as well as the first day of the new month. The boundary between Sivan and Tammuz is indeed one of these cases. Therefore, the day before your wedding is Rosh Chodesh (so is the day of the wedding). I don't know the details of fasting before a wedding and Rosh Chodesh, you would probably be best advised to ask your Rabbi (does this sound familiar? 8^{) Gavriel

	Thanks for the responses... I think it is time to take the wedding fast paragraph out of the program. Hmm... >>>would probably be best advised to ask your Rabbi >>>(does this sound familiar? 8^{) I am sure you are right, but which one :-) - The one that I know from up here but will not be at the wedding - The one that I know from Long Island and will be at the wedding, but was never my Rabbi - The one who my family is flying in from Israel to run my wedding ( he was a great family friend and Rabbi for many years) Thanks again, (BTW: I read about this problem last night, too late to call someone and I was hoping to find out sometime this morning.)

948.5	Woman's Holiday	FDCV30::ROSENZWEIG		`Thu Jun 21 1990 23:22`	10
	Amy, mazeltove! I believe it's customery to talk these things over with the Rabbi who's in charge of the wedding. You'll probably talk to him before the wedding anyway. Rosh Chodesh is supposed to be a woman's holiday anyway - as in vacation from chores and stuff...an auspicious date for a wedding! Good luck...

	Thanks for the words, the wedding was great!! I did not plan on fasting but ended up not eating much anyway... because of time limitations... Amy Green (aka Amy Pinck)
