Family Sabbath in Days of Mourning
Question
Hello! Is it permissible for a mourner to go out for a family Sabbath gathering with uncles and cousins during the year of mourning?
Answer
Greetings,
The instruction of our teacher Rabbi Amram Fried, SHLIT”A, is that it is permitted to go out for a family Sabbath with the immediate family (sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law), but not with the extended family (uncles, cousins, etc.).
