- Comforting mourners and visiting the sick are not Shabbosdik activities. But Chazal allowed it. Still, do not regulate these mitzvos to be done only on Shabbos. (ShA – MB 1)
- Your wishes for them should be changed from the usual emotional formula.
To mourners say, “Shabbos hee mil’nachaym v’nachoma k’rova lavoh.
To the sick say, “Shabbos hee miliz’ok ur’fuah k’rova lavoh.” (ShA – MB 2,3)
- If a mourner comes to shul after the recital of Mizmor Shir L’Yom Hashabbos, do not announce his arrival. (MB 3)
