Question

If someone's father passed away during Chol HaMoed, from when do the laws of the thirty days count: from the burial or from when Shiva was observed after the festival?

Answer

The thirty days are counted from the burial, 30 full days, and the eighth day of the festival or the seventh day of Passover is considered only as one day (and if Shiva was observed before the festival, Shemini Atzeret is counted as seven days).
