- Q. See question above. Does one comply with the mitzva of Nichum Avelim (comforting the mourners) if one just asks the secretary of the shul to place the add at the Notice Board of the Beit Knesset or in the well read shul magazine.
A. In principle every reasonable and clear expression of sharing the loss and wishing consolation and relief from the pain endured by the mourners is part and parcel of this most important mitzva.
However, one has to assess and evaluate on each separate case what is more momentous and significant in expressing ones sharing of the mourning and condolences.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s shlit’a opinion is similar.
