In this work, split to three volumes, we carefully organize and clearly delineate all the laws and customs relevant throughout the mourning period, as well as the period preceding the death, and those which extend past the mourning.

There is no greater proof for this than the thousands of editions of Hagadah’s which exist and have been printed throughout the ages.
