Question
A woman who is a teacher in the education system, whose husband is in mourning, is she allowed to work during his mourning period since he benefits from her earnings? Is there a way to permit this?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If her husband waives the earnings in her favor, she is permitted to work as a teacher.

Opinion of 'Daat Kedoshim'. Permitted because ultimately she is not working for him.
However, our teacher, Rabbi shlita, instructed that she should not say 'I am not supported and I do not work', as there are opinions that if she waived the sages' decree, it applies for the entire duration of their marriage.
