Reply To: making a siyum on a yahrtziet

So Funny and Sam
I am not aware of a source for a yarzheit seuda, just the opposite the seforim talk about fasting
We certainly fast less than we did in the olden days as we are considered weaker
but assuming funny is correct, that we make a siyum to get out of fasting, is that enough of a reason for a seudah?
isn’t that a bit k’neged the whole point?
