May one wait at the techum boundary for the needs of a bride or a corpse, and may one mention a purchase price?
Synopsis
One may wait at the techum for needs of a bride or corpse and instruct a friend to buy supplies. One may not specify a fixed maximum price. The Rema records a dispute: some permit mentioning a price when unavoidable for mitzvah needs, but the primary ruling follows those who prohibit it in all cases.
