Question
A mourner during the seven days who was mistakenly called to the Torah, should he ascend, so that it is not decreed that whenever he is given the Torah to read and he does not read, his days and years are shortened, as explained in Berachot 55a?
Answer
On a weekday, he should not ascend even if he was called to the Torah. On Shabbat, he should ascend to the Torah.
