FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) The phrase "1 day" in the chart means that after one day, the Halachos of "Shiv'ah" and "Sheloshim" are not observed at all. The phrase "7 days" in the chart means that the Halachos of "Shiv'ah" and of "Sheloshim" are observed as usual.
(2) These include one's son, daughter, brother (including half-brother), sister (including half-sister and married sister), and wife.
(3) Rav Yakov Emden asserts that this is not the same Elisha ben Avuyah known as "Acher," whose tragic story is recounted in Chagigah (12b).
