Question
What is considered a "hesped" with regard to the prohibition of delivering eulogies on Isru Chag?
Answer
If one says things that arouse sorrow, such as how much we have lost, it is forbidden. But if one says words of encouragement in order to learn from them, in a way that does not cause sorrow, it is permitted.
