Is there anything wrong with giving a public hesped for an "average" person on their sheloshim.
I saw in halachapedia
that "
Generally the eulogy is always before the burial. However, for a talmid chacham the eulogies can continue throughout shiva, for a gadol it could continue to shloshim and for a gadol hador it could continue for twelve months
" This is sourced as Shulchan Aruch YD 344:18, Gesher Hachaim 1:13:5
this would seem to imply that for an "average" person there shoudl NOT be eulogies after the burial I haven't looked up the sources, Does anyone know why? My LOR said it's OK for me to say for my father at his sheloshim - but I don't want do any damage by doing so.
OR perhaps the above quote means that for the gedolim we give hespedim throughout those periods (e.g. each day of the sheloshim). But doesn't mean to imply that it's forbidden outside of these period for an "ad-hoc" hesped. But rather can be done (though only during the 12 months) see here from the "Taz 344/5 in name of Ramban in Toras Hadam; Chachmas Adam 155/17"
(i.e. Are there those that learn the Shulchan Aruch differently and not in line with this view from the Taz/Chayei Adam )?
thx
