[Avodah] Celebrating Birthdays – A Torah View

[Rich, Joel]

There are opinions that Jews should not celebrate birthdays.  Rabbi Efrem Goldberg strongly  makes the point that even according to those who say it is OK to celebrate birthdays that  the celebration should be on the Hebrew date and not on the secular date.

I gave a shiur on this a number of years back. My main take away was it should be used as an opportunity for reflection, Not A celebration per se
