Description

The gemara says that in the event of the loss of certain parents right before the wedding, the couple engages in be'ilat mitzvah, separates, buries the parent, and then observes the 7 days of mishteh before 7 days of avelus. What is the mitzvah in "be'ilat mitzvah", and how does it relate to the 7 days of mishteh?
