[Avodah] Kaddish Yasom

[Cantor Wolberg]

"2. at a recent levaya, the chabad  rabbis didnt allow any  children or
children in law to shovel the dirt...."

This is the very first time I've ever heard children-IN-LAW who were
not allowed to shovel earth. With whatever reasoning that was used,
the same reasoning might also be used to say that children-in-Law should
tear keriah. (By the way, just as a side, I think it's much more  
sensitive
to use the word "earth" rather than "dirt". You shovel "dirt" on a work
detail, but you utilize a blanket of "earth" for your loved ones).

Kol tuv.
