Question
I am in mourning for my mother, of blessed memory (Yom Kippur interrupted our shiva, and the festival of Sukkot the thirty days). As a teacher in a yeshiva, can I participate in the Simchat Beit HaShoeva that the yeshiva holds during Chol HaMoed with a large orchestra and mass dancing? Also, can I, and how, participate in Simchat Torah in the yeshiva?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
You are permitted to participate in both Simchat Beit HaShoeva and Simchat Torah.
