Template:Tanit Bechorot on Shabbat
From Halachipedia
- If Erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, some say that one is not obligated to fast, while others say that one should fast on Thursday. The minhag follows the latter opinion.[1] The minhag is to do a Siyum on Thursday and exempt oneself from the fast,[2] even those who fast Tanit Bechorot regular years.[3] Some say it’s preferable to make a Siyum on Friday in addition to the one on Thursday.[4]
- ↑ Shulchan Aruch and Rama O.C. 470:2
- ↑ Sh”t Igrot Moshe 4:69 writes that it’s sufficient to make a Siyum on Thursday and Piskei Teshuvot 470:4 writes that such is the minhag. Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:91, Chazon Ovadyah Pesach pg 100, and Or Letzion 3:12(2) write that even though the strict law is that the firstborns are exempt it's preferable that they join in a Siyum. See Birkei Yosef 470:2 who quotes the Meiri who says that if Erev Pesach is on Shabbat, one should fast Tanit Bechorot on Friday.
