Listen "Moed Katan 7a: Breaking the News on Yomtov: When a Relative Passes Away"
Episode Synopsis
Breaking the News on Yomtov: When a Relative Passes AwayIf a close relative passes away during Yomtov, should you tell the mourner right away—or wait until after Yomtov so it doesn't ruin their simcha? In this episode, we explore the halachic and emotional balance between kavod hameis and kavod hachai. We go through the sources that discuss whether to inform the person, when to delay, and what’s considered the right approach in different situations. Sensitive, practical, and clear—this is a must-know topic for anyone navigating the intersection of aveilus and Yomtov.
