FWIW, A former IDF soldier came to me on Friday and asked "Didyou hear the
news?"
I responded YES but I do not want to talk about it.
He then proceeded to regale me for the next 20 minutes...and I listened
because he was an elderly gentleman, but frankly I was too depressed over
that even and Rav Zev Segal's Tragic death to deal with the situation,, and
so I tuned out as best as I could.  Chazal's 3 days of silence makes sense
at times. One would have been enough for me.
