Question

Two partners who own two stores in partnership, each managing a store separately and sharing the profits, when one of them is sitting shiva, how should the two stores be managed?

Answer

The store managed by the mourner sitting shiva should be closed until after three days. The second store may be opened as usual even from the first day, since the store is not named after the mourner. However, if it is widely known that the store also belongs to the mourner and he occasionally visits there, it should not be opened until after three days.
