Question
Is it permissible for a mourner within the year of their father's passing to participate in the joy of Simchat Beit HaShoeva during Chol Hamoed Sukkot?
Answer
It is forbidden, and only permitted for someone whose absence would be truly felt in the community of dancers. If he has small children who are going, the parents are allowed to accompany them.
