Question
What is considered a 'eulogy' regarding the prohibition of delivering it on Isru Chag?
Answer
If words are spoken that evoke sorrow, such as how much we have lost, it is forbidden. However, if words of encouragement are spoken to learn from them in a way that does not cause sorrow, it is permitted.
