Ask the Rabbi
- Family and Society
- Death and Mourning
- Year of Mourning for Parents
Question
Would someone who in their regular life actively participates in amateur musical and theatre rehearsals and performances (as performer not audience) be allowed to do so during the year-long mourning period for a parent?
Answer
If it is necessary for his Parnasa, then he may continue. If it is for pleasure then he should refrain.
