End of the Year of Mourning
Question
End of the year of mourning in a leap year, when is the main time: at the end of 12 months or on the yahrzeit day?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
In this matter, there is a distinction: regarding visiting the grave, the main time is at the end of 12 months. However, for the fast observed on the yahrzeit day, the meal that is held, and the mourning customs observed at the end of the year, these are on the yahrzeit day.
