Question
Is there any significance for a grandson of the deceased, who is in his year of mourning for his mother, to lead the prayer during Chol Hamoed if the custom is that he himself does not lead? Or is it insignificant or forbidden, and certainly, one should not displace anyone for this? Thank you.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is customary not to ascend to lead the prayer for the elevation of the soul during Chol Hamoed.
Certainly, there is no right to displace anyone from the podium for this.
