[Avodah] a troubling halacha

[Rich, Joel]

...

What about the chiyuv mishum kibud av va'eim?

RYBS writes that aveilus mishum availus is never more than 30 days. This
is why the worst of mourning, when a parent loses a child, the aveilus
is only 30 days. The rest of the year for a parent is caused by kibud
horim, not aveilus itself.

:-)BBii!
