BRIEF INSIGHT

The Gemara says that children, length of life, and livelihood are dependent on the Mazal. Tosfos asks that the Gemara says elsewhere that Klal Yisrael is not dependent on the Mazal. Tosfos answers that although Mazal does apply to Klal Yisrael, a person with great merit can circumvent the Mazal with it. The Maharsha says that a person can circumvent the Mazal with prayer and that is why Rava prayed for wisdom and wealth even though these attributes are dependent on the Mazal. The Rashba says that Klal Yisrael as a nation is not dependent on the Mazal but each individual is.

QUICK HALACHAH

The comforters may not open their mouths until the mourner does so first. The mourner sits at the head, and as soon as the mourner nods his head as an indication that it is time for the comforters to take their leave, they are no longer allowed to remain sitting. A mourner and an ill person do not have to stand up for anyone including the Nasi. (Shulchan Aruch YD 376:1)
