Question
On the Friday night of Shiva, should the mourner recite Kabbalat Shabbat and Bameh Madlikin?
Answer
It is customary for the mourner to recite Kabbalat Shabbat as usual, including Bameh Madlikin, since he is leading the prayer. (If he prays in a synagogue following the Sephardic rite where Bameh Madlikin is not recited, even if he prays according to the Ashkenazi rite, it is likely that he does not recite it.)
