Interviewing Someone on the Traditions of Chol Hamoed and Shivah

I want to state here that considering the recent events in Israel, I understand that many people are not comfortable right now discussing things that are unrelated to helping Israel. Take your time if you need to. If I am asking this question too early, tell me.

I am writing an essay for an English course in a GED program. I am writing about the benefits of lessons from Masechta Moed Katan, specifically the traditions of Chol Hamoed and Shivah.

I want to interview someone about how Masechta Moed Katan, Chol Hamoed and Shivah affect their lives and benefit them. I am fine with interviewing anyone, even if someone isn’t knowledgeable about that masechta.
