Aveilut on Shabbat

From Halachipedia

How does Aveilut apply on Shabbat? (Regarding Aveilut on Yom Tov please the specific page.)

General

  1. The private practices of shiva continue on Shabbat include the prohibition of tashmish. Since learning Torah is private one shouldn't learn Torah on Shabbat if one is in mourning but one may learn the Shenayim Mikra and Echad Targum.[1]

Leaving the House

  1. The minhag is that the mourner goes to shul on Shabbat.[2]

Learning Torah and Getting Aliyot

  1. An avel shouldn't get an aliyah even on Shabbat.[3] On Shabbat if they already called him up for an aliyah he should take it since refraining from taking it would be a public sign of mourning on Shabbat.[4]
  2. Where the minhag is to give an aliyah to the father of a baby, if he had a baby when he was in shiva, he can get an aliyah on Shabbat otherwise it would considered a public display of mourning.[5]
  3. It is permitted for an avel during shiva to learn Shenayim Mikra on Shabbat since it is like kriyat shema since it is an obligation upon him.[6] If he doesn't do targum he can do Rashi instead.[7]

Davening

  1. It is permitted for the avel to say kabbalat shabbat normally including lechu niranena, shir hashirim, kegavna, mizmor ldovid hashem roey, each community according to its minhag, besides for bameh madlikin which the avel should skip and say tehillim instead.[8]
  2. It is permitted for an avel to say shalom aleichem and eshet chayil on Friday night.[9]

  2. ↑ The Raavad (cited by Tur 393:3) and Kol Bo (114, cited by Bet Yosef 393:4) held that a mourner doesn't leave his house the week of shiva including Shabbat. The Ramban (p. 217, cited by Bet Yosef) and Rosh (Moed Katan 3:46) disagree and write that the minhag was to go to shul on Shabbat. Shulchan Aruch 393:3 follows the Ramban and Rosh that an avel can leave the house on Shabbat. Rama agrees.
