Question
A person whose father and brother died together in a car accident, may God have mercy, does he need to tear twice and bless 'Dayan HaEmet' twice, or is one tearing sufficient for both?
Answer
One must perform two tearings: first, tear for the father or mother until the heart, then distance three fingers and tear another handbreadth. The blessing 'Dayan HaEmet' is recited once.
