What is the effect on the thirty-day period if a full shiva was completed before a holiday?
Synopsis
If one completes seven days of shiva and then a holiday begins, the thirty-day mourning period (shloshim) is nullified entirely. Grooming and laundry are permitted from the day before the holiday. The holiday itself permits grooming even if it falls on Shabbat before the holiday.
