Question
A woman in mourning within the thirty days: eyebrow shaping, cutting fingernails, a "siddur party" for her granddaughters?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
Eyebrow grooming – for an Ashkenazi woman it is forbidden, except for a married woman where there is concern that she will become repulsive to her husband. For a Sephardi woman it is permitted after the seven days of mourning (shiva).
Cutting fingernails – forbidden during the thirty days of mourning.
A "siddur party" – forbidden, since there is music there.
