Birthday party during the three weeks or the nine days

Question:

Are we allowed to celebrate birthday in bein hametzarim At home with family ?

Answer:

During the three weeks it is permitted, but during the nine days it isn't a correct thing to do, as we don't have parties during the nine days. It should be pushed off until after the nine (10) days.

  1. Can I have my son come to visit my house on my
    English birthday that is
    On the nine days but my Hebrew birthday is a day before the nine days?
    Or should I make it the next week?

    1. Exactly when your birthday is doesn't really matter for this. The point is that it sholdn't be done during the nine days.
      Happy Birthday.
