[Avodah] Showering During the Nine Days

[Joel Schnur]

Thanks. That was refreshing. BTW, Rav Moshe allowed laundered shirts to be
worn during the nine days. He held that ONLY starched shirts were forbidden
for first time use, see R, Yosef grossman's "Mourning during the Nine Days"
where he cites this as an oral psak. I spoke with Rav Aron Felder, currently
of Philadelphia and a talmid muvhawk of Rav Moshe who verified this psak. In
his words, it was the "snap" of a starched shirt that Rav Moshe said was the
issur. When I asked about No-Iron shirts, he reiterated "starched shirts
because of their snap, that's all."
