Description

Aveilus on Tisha B'Av: the prohibition of studying Torah. Is this Issur a mirror image of the Issur that applies to an Avel who is sitting Shiva? Would both of these cases allow for the study of דברים הרעים? Is there an obligation of Talmud Torah on the 9th of Av and during Aveilus Shiva? What is the reason why Torah study is prohibited? Does the prohibition apply even to Torah thoughts?
