Question
If someone's brother passed away on Yom Tov and was buried after Yom Tov during Chol Hamoed Sukkot, should Kriah be performed at the funeral, or after the holiday when sitting Shiva?
Answer
Upon the passing of one of the seven close relatives, excluding one's father and mother, during a holiday, it is customary to perform Kriah after the holiday when sitting Shiva, as the primary time of obligation, which is when one hears of the death or at the moment of the soul's departure, is deferred.
