May an Avel participate in Simchas Beis Hashoeiva?[1]
Some Poskim[2] rule he may only join as a spectator and may not join the dancing. Others[3] rule he may even join the dancing however on condition that musical instruments are not being played. Others[4] rule he may even join if there is live music playing.
