ArtScroll mourning in halacha p421-422
1) a mourner can NOT eat at a siyum
2) some say if HE is making the siyum he can eat
3) if a mourner eats on his yartzeit the custom is not to eat meat/wine
It brings down in the footnotes that the ksav Sofer made a dairy siyum
based on this I still have 2 questions
How can someone making a siyum be yotzeh his brothers? In light of #1 they all should have to make a siyum
And in light of #3 , why did the last yartzeit seudah I went to have catered spare ribs as the main?
It still makes me uncomfortable
