1. Learning Mishnayos in the Shiva home: [1]

It is proper for the non-mourners to learn Mishanyos in the Shiva home throughout the Shiva. [Some are accustomed to have the Minyan learn Mishnayos between Mincha and Maariv in the Shiva home.[2] Some study Mishnayos in correspondence to the Hebrew name of the deceased, as explained in Halacha 3.[3] The Avel, however, may not participate in the learning being he is prohibited in Torah learning.]
