Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 202

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Which tumas meis does the Kitzur keep a kohen away from, and to which relatives may he become tamei? The Kitzur lists the close relatives a kohen becomes tamei to, each with its own limits, and then the relatives for whom mourning is kept. A footnote in the edition read adds that by widespread custom even mourners wear Shabbos garments on that Shabbos.

Key points

• Because some authorities give a goy's corpse tumas ohel, the Kitzur advises avoiding a goy's grave.
• The Kitzur calls unlearned kohanim who approach kivrei tzaddikim, saying they carry no tumah, mistaken.
• The Kitzur bars adults from bringing minor kohanim into tumah, but has them removed only once they reach chinuch.
