איש לרעהו ומתנות לאביונים
1) You may
do it 11 months in the year (even לכתחילה)
but you
may not do it the entire month of Ellul.
?
2) You may do it only 1
month in the year, in Ellul
but not the other 11
months of the year.
?
1) The ערוך
השלחן (O.Ch.581:12) writes,
“It is forbidden to
blow Shofar the entire month
of Ellul, in the
night time, even if it’s done just for
practice. The reason is, not to awaken the negative
forces of the night.”(Kabbalah)
The טור (O.Ch.
581) writes that in אשכנז
the Minhag is to blow
Shofar every morning
and evening (בכל בקר וערב )
R. Moishe
Feinstein zt”l (Igros Moishe O.Ch. 4, 21,)
writes, “It is מסתבר
(makes sense) "Erev" is not
in the night-time, but
during the daytime,
either after Mincha* or
after early Ma’ariv. (They
used to Daven Ma’ariv in
the daytime).”
*The חיי אדם,
brings the Minhag of blowing
Shofar after
Mincha.
2) The אמרי
פנחס (R. Pinchos Koritzer
zt"l) writes,
During the month of אלול, one may recite
Tehillim
in the nighttime even
before חצות (all year
round one may recite Tehillim in the night only
after חצות)
