Nu or Nu or Ah Na Nu Nu Ooh
Question
When speaking is forbidden so that there won’t be an interruption, is it permitted to say things like “nu” or “oh” or “ha-ha” or “ooh” or “nu nu,” and the like?
That’s the custom…
Answer
Yes, because that is not considered speech. And indeed, that is the custom.
