A: Read the wrong haftara. Now what? Sha'arei Efraim (9:19) writes that if the error was noticed before the blessings following the haftara were read, the correct haftara should be read at that point, and the blessings should be said after that. If the blessings were already read, then the correct haftara should be read without any bles... (more) |

“Merging doesn’t leave a synonym behind”. Is this intentional? Is there no mechanism for synonyms? That would seem to create a lot of extra work to keep the sites clean. (more) |

@msh210 It's not universal amongst *chassidim*. See [here](https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=42759&pgnum=295) for example, where the *chazzan* says it too. (more) |

A: What is the status of a-capella music during the three weeks? Leket Yosher (pg. 106) writes that his teacher (the Terumat Hadeshen) would not say Zemirot during the three weeks, which would indicate that he held that a-capella music is forbidden during this time.
