Q. My husband is an avel. The extended family has an annual Purim seudah which is attended by approximately 60 family members. There is no live music, but there is recorded music. There are regular festive activities appropriate to the holiday. Is he permitted to attend this year?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is, that if the seudah is not at the residence of the avel, it is preferred that he does not attend on this occasion.
