Question
If one's father passed away and was buried on the eve of Shavuot, and the mourning rites were not observed before the holiday, what are the laws regarding Shiva and Shloshim?
Answer
Since Shiva was not observed before the holiday, Shiva and Shloshim are not canceled. Therefore, Shiva must be observed after the holiday. From the thirty days, an additional 22 days must be completed because the holiday is considered as seven days, even though Shiva was not observed before it.
