Question
A man’s brother passed away and was buried in Israel on what would be the second day of Yom Tov in the Diaspora. The man himself is abroad, but he intends to return to Israel. Is he obligated to rend his garments?
Answer
An Israeli who is abroad should not rend his garments, as he is prohibited from performing work even in private. Therefore, he should wait until after the second day of Yom Tov and then rend.
