# Ashkenazim switch their seat in Shul for all of [[shloshim]] and [[twelve months of mourning]] for a parent even on Shabbat and it isn't considered a blatant observance of mourning on Shabbat.<ref>Nemukei Yosef, Rama YD 393:3</ref> Sephardim hold that technically it is considered an act of mourning on Shabbat and so one shouldn't change their seat on Shabbat. That is the minhag in Yerushalayim. Elsewhere the minhag is like Ashkenazim as well.<ref>Bet Yosef 393:3 explicitly argues with the Nemukei Yosef being that switching one's seat is an act of mourning and it shouldn't be done on Shabbat. He praises those who had the minhag not to change their seat on Shabbat. | |||
That is his ruling in Shulchan Aruch YD 393:4 as well. Chaim Vchesed English Edition p. 162 writes that the minhag Yerushalayim is like the Bet Yosef, but elsewhere the Sephardic minhag is like the Rama.</ref> But either way, the Sephardic minhag isn't to change one's seat after 30 days even for a parent even during the week and certainly on Shabbat.<ref>Yalkut Yosef Aveilut 38:5 p. 569 cites the Ben Ish Chai in Rav Poalim OC 4:33 who writes that the Sephardic minhag isn't to change their place after 30 days even for a parent as the minhag to extend it further has no basis whatsoever.</ref> | |||
