When Tisha B'Av comes out on a Shabbos, do we say Pirkei Avos in the cycle on that Shabbos?

  • For a straightforward question, this is very ambiguous.

We do not say them that week. Rama OC 553:2

    Note that Aruch Hashulchan rules that one should learn no less Torah than usual, even if that means he will learn things the Rama bans. Presumably, then, he'd allow pirke Avos if one would otherwise not learn Torah.

    @msh210 Absolutely. I thought the OP was asking about the minhag of communal recitation following a set cycle.

    (Oh, and MB thinks one can rely on the same source the AHS rules according to (the Taz).) I don't understand "I thought the OP was asking about the minhag of communal recitation following a set cycle": the halachos we've quoted only mention reciting it, but presumably refer to reciting the 'correct' chapter, i.e. following a set cycle. (And if a community says it communally, that'd be even more of a reason to allow it (not b'tzin'a).)

  • @msh210 Does the Aruch HaShulchan say this about tisha be'av or about the Shabbos before?

    @DoubleAA (Strangely, they don't; Yerushalmi daf yomi does, though.)
