Waxing – Music in Sefira – First Name in Workplace
Question
I am an Ultra Orthodox girl and I have some questions. Please help me! 1) May I wax my eyebrows in the sfira days? I am 18 and on the shidduch scene so i think it is important to look my best. Is it allowed? 2) I really enjoy listening to music. Is it just a minhag not to listen to music in the sfira or are you really not allowed? 3) I was taught in school that at work we should always be on a last name basis with a person from the opposite gender. I work in a very small (two men and one other lady) office. I call the men by their last names, although they call me by me and my co-worker by our first names. It would be very uncomfortable for me to ask him to call me by my last name, especially because im working there for a while already. What do you think i should do? I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!
