Kesubos 8b

בעל הנחמות ינחם אתכם

Today it is quite common, for Aveilim who sit Shiva L”A

to place a sign with the Nusach of Nichum Aveilim

so that it should be said properly.

(“Hamakom Yenachem Eschem  etc.”)

There are many Toirehs  said and published on the

Nusach . (Why the word Hamakom instead of Hashem)

This Nusach is actually nowhere to be found, not in Bavli,

Yerushalmi, Tur , Shulchan Aruch or other Poskim.

The Perishah brings a Nusach that is very close to

this Nusach but it starts with “Hashem” and  

not “Hamakom”.

The first one to use this Nusach is the Shvus Yakov.

He writes, when there are two Aveilim r”l, one

is Menachem the other and says

המקום ינחם אתכם ואותנו בתוך וכו
