Question
Is a mourner within his year of mourning for his father allowed to hold a business meeting in a restaurant?
Answer
He may meet without any of the participants eating (a mourner is prohibited from participating in a meal where others eat and he does not), even if he is not in close friendship with the person he is meeting.
