Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 220

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does Yom Tov cut short the mourning of shiva and shloshim? The Kitzur then turns to the shiva candle and to the fast and customs of a yahrzeit.

Key points

• In the Kitzur's count, an hour before Sukkos plus the Yom Tov days leaves eight days of shloshim.
• The Kitzur treats a first yahrzeit fast as a vow unless one stipulated beforehand that it is not one.
