Question
A mourning Kohen on a weekday, should he leave the place of prayer before the Torah reading due to his deficiency?
Answer
Since he is forbidden to be called to the Torah, he should leave the synagogue before the reading, and an Israelite or a Levite should be called in his place. If he is unaware of this law, he should be told to leave.
