Just what a mourner needs — no more, no less

This invaluable booklet focuses specifically on the laws during the time of aninus (the time from passing until after the burial) and of shivah only. The onein and aveil are confronted with many halachic questions and uncertainties during the time prior to the burial and during the week of shivah, and these issues often require immediate answers. It can easily happen that the onein and aveil simply do not have the time or ability to obtain the answers. To address that need, this book presents a final p'sak halachah (halachic determination) whenever possible.
