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.
