Your complete guide to this week’s halachos & minhagim Parshas Devarim, Shabbos Chazon, 8 Menachem Av, 5785

Eat meat and drink wine as usual this Shabbos.

Krias Hatorah

The first aliyah ends with the words ka’asher diber lachem (Devarim 1:11).

Torah Study

Until chatzos, Torah may be studied as usual.

After chatzos, it is better to only study subjects permitted to be studied on Tisha B’Av (see below).

Chitas should be studied before chatzos. However, if you did not do so, you may study it afterward.

A siyum should be made today as well.

Minchah

We daven Minchah early, to give time to eat the seudah hamafsekes before shekiah. Do not say Tzidkas’cha. Do not say Pirkei Avos.

To study about the Beis Hamikdash, visit www.Chabad.org/144586. To view online daily siyumim, visit www.chabad.org/siyum.

SHABBOS

Chazon means to see from a distance. On this day, Hashem shows the third Beis Hamikdash to every Jew from afar.
-R. Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, quoted in Or Hatorah-Nach vol. 2, fn. to p. 1097
