העבדים והשפחות אין עומדים עליהם בשורה ואין אומרים עליהם תנחומי אבלים אלא אומרים לו המקום ימלא חסרונך כשם שאומרים לאדם על שורו וחמורו:
For male and female slaves no line [of comforters] is made, nor is consolation offered [to their master], but they say to him, 'May the Lord replace your loss,' even as they say to a man regarding his ox and his ass, ['May the Lord replace your loss'].¹
footnotes: ¹ Ber. 16b. Nowadays this law does not apply since we do not own slaves.
אבל מנודה אין מברין אותו ואין אומרים לו תנחומי אבלים:
A mourner who is an excommunicant must not be provided with the mourner's meal,² § 378. nor is consolation offered to him.³ on the authority of T.H. because it is forbidden for one to be in his four cubits. Anything that brings honour to the living is not done for an excommunicant — ShaK. Cf. supra § 345, 4.
footnotes: ² infra ³ Tur
מנודה שמת מנחמים אבליו:
[If] an excommunicant died, his mourners may be offered consolation.⁴ Cf. supra § 345, 1.
footnotes: ⁴ T.H.
