Dear Rabbi Simon
I am trying to organise some activities for the kids during their holidays. Would I be correct to assume not to book either sewing/dressmaking camp or canooing /windsufing/sailing during the 9 days?
Kind regards
Miriam
Dear Miriam,
Even children should avoid water sports during 9 Days. There are grounds to allow sewing lessons if the garment is not completed until after 9 Av. This is best avoided in the week of 9 Av itself.
Best wishes
Rabbi Rashi Simon
