[Avodah] Innuy vs. Aveilus - was R' Elyashiv and Crocs, etc.

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

I heard RYDS in Boston on 9 Av (1977 or 1979) contrast the 5 innuyim on
9 av with the identical innuyim on YK

Briefly
9 Av - Mishum aveilus
YK - Mishum Teshuva

Same ritual, different goal or intent.

Note on YK no need to sit low to the ground!


Tangent:
Note that Rules of Chol Hamoed and Aveilus overlap - both are in Elu
Megalchin! - yet their goals differ.

Yet the not shaving on ChhM allows it to be counted towards shloshim,
even though the reason is completely different!

Back to niddan didan:
Even though the dynamics differ, the halachic implementation of the 5
Innuyim seem to be virtually identical
[with the caveat of YK as d'oraisso for some or all, while 9 Av is
derabbanan.]
