Joseph Karo

“ Paragraph 6 - One does not tear for somebody who died on the holiday, except for relatives that one is obligated to mourn for, scholars, upright people, and people who died in one's presence. For relatives that one is obligated to mourn and for scholars, one tears even not in the presence of the dead, even if one heard of the death during the holiday if the death occurred within thirty days. For an upright person, one only tears if one learned of it between the death and the burial. ”

“ Paragraph 10 - We fulfill all the needs of the dead on hol hamoed. We cut his his, wash is garments, and build a coffin in the yard where the dead is located so that it is clear that it is for the dead. If we do not have boards, we may bring logs and cut them into boards in the privacy of the home. If the dead is famous, we can do this even in the market. We do not cut down trees from the forest to make boards for the coffin. We do not mine stones to build a grave. In a place where few Jews live and everybody knows that there has been a death, all dead are treated as famous. ”

“ Paragraph 2 - Women may wail, which is crying out together. They may not lament, which is when one speaks and the others cry out in response. they do not clap, which is clapping the hands together. Once the dead is buried, they may not wail. ”
