Sholshim ending date?

Question:

My father was buried on Sept 28th, what day does the sholshim end? He was buried before sundown.

 

Answer:

Hello,

Hamakom yinachem eschem b'toch shar aveilei tZion v'Yerushalayim.

The customs of sheloshim regarding showering and cutting nails, etc. ended for you right before Succos, being that yom Kippur ended your shiva. The only differance  that you have right now with sheloshim is that you have prefferance to daven for the amud over people within the first year. This will also end tomorrow, Monday.

Best wishes
