Question
If a nonresident who is temporarily residing in Israel has lost a relative on the second day of Yom Tov, is he required to perform the act of rending his garments (Kriah)?
Answer
His status is similar to that of the second day of Yom Tov outside of Israel, and he is prohibited from tearing his garments on that day. However, he is permitted to participate in the funeral and also to carry the deceased's bier.
