I’m starting shloshim tomorrow. Am I allowed to go to the restaurant in a few days with my 3 friends and another day with my brother for his birthday?
First of all I will console you with the blessing: “You will not add ant sad anymore and from heaven you will be comforted.”
There is a division whether the end of the shloshim is on your father and mother, or about other relatives, whether it is about his father and mother, there is no permit to go to the restaurant because this is defined in Halacha as a “feast of friends”, and it is forbidden to participate in it throughout the year, (twelfth months).
However, if the mourning is for the rest of the relatives, your brother and sister, your son or daughter, or your wife, you are allowed to attend a birthday party after thirty days have passed.
Best regards satiety joys
Rabbi Meir Pinhasi
Jerusalem, the Holy City and the Temple.
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
