Is It Permissible to Eulogize One's Grandmother on Tisha B'Av
Question
Is it permissible to eulogize one's grandmother on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
It seems to me that there is no problem with this. We are lamenting anyway, so would a eulogy be forbidden? The idea of Tisha B'Av as a festival occasion has no real source, and let's not add to it.
