[Avodah] Women at a funeral

[T613K at aol.com]

From: "Prof. Aryeh A. Frimer" <frimea at mail.biu.ac.il>
>>R.  Zev Sero's distinction between women at a funeral and women at the 
cemetery is  well taken and is undoubtedly correct in theory.  However, since most 
 funerals in Israel and around the world take place at the Beit haKevarot --  
wouldn't that make this distinction nigh irrelevant or  moot?<<




>>>>>>
 
But the distinction would still be valid for those cases where the levaya  
takes place somewhere other than the bais hakevoros.  For instance, the  
hespedim for my father were said at the Ohr Someach yeshiva -- with my siblings  and 
myself present -- and afterwards a procession went to Har  Hamenuchos, where 
we children did not go.
