Rabbi Drew hosts a “Drinks and Discussion” episode this week on the Jewish Drinking show and guides us through a text-based discussion on drinking during mourning.
While not typically considered, drinking is something that one may do during mourning in Judaism. There is a prohibition against drinking between the death of a loved one and their burial called aninut. This episode delves into the discussion around drinking during shivah.
This episode also builds off the How Many Cups of Wine to Drink at a Mourner’s House – 10 vs 14? episode from March 2020.
