Avelut-

Avelut is mourning the dead. There is a seven day period where there are many restrictions.I.E.- No shaving, no music, , no sitting on a chair that is higher than, about a foot, and a half, pretty much nothing happy. Then there is a thirty day period where the about the same laws apply. Out of respect for a family member, one says Kaddish the entire year.
