Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 221

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How is a yahrzeit kept when the calendar shifts, in a leap year or when Cheshvan and Kislev are full or deficient? The Kitzur then lists who skips the yahrzeit fast, and ends the sefer by reading the pasuk of go and let us go as being about one who brings the public to good.

Key points

• The Kitzur counts a yahrzeit in the last days of Chanukah by the month's date, not Chanukah's day.
• On the day of a bris, the Kitzur exempts the father, sandek and mohel from the yahrzeit fast.
• On go and let us go, the Kitzur suggests one who brings others to good goes with them.
