How should consolers treat one who experiences death on a holiday?
Synopsis
Even though formal mourning does not apply during a holiday, effort is made to provide consolation to the mourner during the holiday itself. After the holiday, once seven days have passed since death, the mourner may have work done by others, though the number of days of consolation is not extended beyond the holiday period.
