Responsa pertaining to a Sephardic bridegroom who became an Aveil (mourner) during his Sheva-berachoth week of post-wedding celebrations. A visiting Rabbi vehemently disagreed with the author who ruled that the mourning should not commence until after seven days, as is Sephardic custom. Rabbi Palaggi garners here the assenting opinions of the Ashkenazic Rabbi and Dayanim of Altona. Also includes opinion opposing the recitation of certain Ashkenazic piyutim such as Ki Lo Na’eh at the close of the Passover Seder.
