| # Some say that it’s critical to understand the last piece of Gemara to join for the Siyum, however, the minhag is to be lenient in any circumstance. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 470:10 </ref> Some say that one only has to participate in some of the learning, maybe by hearing the rabbi speaks words of mussar. <ref> [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?ClipDate=3/20/2013 Rabbi Eli Mansour Dailyhalacha] </ref>

| # Preferably, after hearing the Siyum one should eat a [[KeBaytzah]] of [[Mezonot]] or bread as a meal for the Siyum. Some are lenient and allow one to break the fast after hearing a Siyum without eating there. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 470:11, Halichot Shlomo 8:1 </ref>

| # If someone studies through one of the books of the holy Zohar, it is considered an act of genuine Torah study even if he does not understand any of the mystical meanings of the passages. Celebrating the completion of these books is sufficient to exempt a firstborn from fasting on the 14th of Nissan. <ref> Yalkut Yosef 470:19 </ref>

| # A firstborn who is within a year of [[mourning]] for his father or mother may nevertheless attend the celebration of the completion of a masechet on the 14th of Nissan to exempt himself from fasting. <ref> Yalkut Yosef 470:24 </ref>

| # Likewise, someone within the thirty-day [[mourning]] period for another immediate relative may attend such a celebration as well. <ref> Yalkut Yosef 470:24 </ref>
| |
| # However, someone within the seven-day [[mourning]] period may not attend such a celebration. If he is weak and fasting through the day would adversely affect his ability to perform the mitzvot of the seder night, he may redeem himself from the fast by giving some money to [[charity]]. <ref> Yalkut Yosef 470:24 </ref>
