Talmud for Moed Katan 40:15

אלא לאו שמע מינה כאן בחמיו וחמותו כאן בשאר קרובים שמע מינה תניא נמי הכי לא אמרו לכבוד אשתו אלא חמיו וחמותו בלבד

[Now the regulations in] the two citations contradict each other.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the former it is insisted that the husband must observe formal mourning out of deference to the wife, while in the latter, it implies that the husband need not.');">27 Hence infer from this that the one Baraitha refers to [the death of] a father-in-law or mother-in-law,28 while the other to [the death of] other near of kin.29

Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan

From where that the mourner has to rend while standing? As it is written, Job rose, rent his coat, and shore his head³⁴²Job 1:20.. Rebbi Judah bar Pazi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: From here that the mourner has to rend while standing³⁴³Babli 20b, bottom.. As Rebbi Joḥanan said³⁴⁴This text is impossible since R. Yasa (Assi) was a student of R. Joḥanan. Qorban Haedah emends to: “When R. Joḥanan died.” This emendation is possible., Rebbi Yasa instructed to patch up the next day³⁴⁵The students who are mourners who are not required to keep the Seven days.. When Rebbi Yasa died, Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba instructed to wear shoes on the same day. Rebbi Ze`ira said, they do not disagree³⁴⁶While they disagree whether a mourner who is not a close relative has to show the signs of his mourning the entire day of the funeral or only to the end of the funeral services, they agree that wearing leather shoes and patching up the tear in the garment go together.. He who says to patch up the next day, one shall wear shoes the next day. He who says to wear shoes today one patches the same day.
