One is not required to tell a person, that his relative died, so as to delay the person from observing aveilus. Arlah is burned. Why did amoraim and Rav Nasan Adler not burn arlah? Being in the same room as a dead person, is like being within 4 amos of him. Is there an issur of yichud between adopted parents and their children, and between adopted children and their siblings? Does an adopted gentile child who converts, require another declaration when becoming bar mitzvah?The nature of leket, shichacha, and peah. Partial hefker.
