Halocho #1752 - Last chance for a haircut!

It's customary not to have a haircut during the 3 weeks from 17 Tammuz until after the fast of 9 Av. This includes haircuts and shaving.

Since the "3 weeks" begin on Sunday, Friday (tomorrow) is the last chance to have a haircut.

It's always a Mitzva to wash with warm water and cut one's nails  on Friday in honor of Shabbat, as well as have a haircut if one needs one.

Shabbat Shalom

וְכֵן נוֹהֲגִין שֶׁאֵין מִסְתַּפְּרִין בְּיָמִים אֵלּוּ, לֹא שַׂעֲרוֹת הָרֹאשׁ וְלֹא שְׂעַרוֹת הַזָּקָן וְלֹא כָּל שֵֹעַר שֶׁבְּגוּפוֹ. וְאָסוּר לַגְּדוֹלִים לְסַפֵּר אֶת הַקְּטַנִּים

מִצְוָה עַל כָּל אָדָם לִרְחוֹץ בְּכָל עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת פָּנָיו יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו בְּחַמִּין...וּמִצְוָה לָחֹף אֶת הָרֹאשׁ וְלָקֹץ אֶת הַצִּפָּרְנַיִם, וְכֵן לְגַלֵּחַ שַׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשׁוֹ אִם הָיוּ גְּדוֹלוֹת
