# 3435 Sorry for the Sorrow
Question
Can someone observing Avelus during Shloshim (the first Thirty Days) attend during Shabbos a Sheva Brochos meal of a family member in a shul, to which he also contributed?
Answer
See Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 391: 2) that one should not attend a festive meal outside of his home even for a close relatives, while he is still during the first thirty days of mourning.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is advisable not to attend.
