#26 - Attending a Simcha after Shloshim.
Question
Good friends have invited me to a L'Chaim in honour of their son's engagement. It will be after my Shloshim observance for my Father. There will be no music and guests will be coming and going over a three hour period. Can I attend?
What about a Birthday party with no music but many people will be in attendance.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a permits when necessary the attendance to a "Vort" after "Shloishim" as long as you do not tarry, just coming in, wishing mazal tov and leaving. Same applies to a Birthday party.
