Meat Meal Before Yom Kippur
May One Eat Meat at the Final Meal Before Yom Kippur?
Question
Is it permitted to eat a meat meal for the final meal before the fast of Yom Kippur?
Thank you very much
Answer
Hello,
It is customary to eat a meat meal on the eve of Yom Kippur. One should specifically eat poultry, since it is easier to digest.
Sources: See Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim (siman 608, seif 4), Magen Avraham (sif katan 7), Machatzit HaShekel there, and Mishnah Berurah (sif katan 16).
A good final sealing,
Hillel Meirs
