      Can I get a PDF copy of the handout used in this Shiur. Dr. Leiman quotes extensively from the handout. Thank you.

    3. Title: tiqun

      I thank the esteemed Rabbi for his most interesting and well-delivered lecture.

      While Rabbi Dr. Shnayer Leiman accurately described the minhag of giving tiqqun on a yahrzeit, he omitted to mention that it is also the custom that the person providing the tiqqun - if it is in memory of his parents - does not partake of the tiqqun. Thus, this minhag in no way contradicts the custom to fast on a yahrzeit.

      I further believe that the minhag to travel to Meron around the period of Lag BoOmer is mentioned by R. Ovadiah Bartenuroh of the 15th century.

    Learning on the Marcos and Adina Katz YUTorah site is sponsored today by Nechama and Elliot Rosner in memory of their dear father, Irwin Rosner and by Barbie and Ira Taub to commemorate the yahrzeit of Paul Taub, Pesach Ben Yisroel Tzvi Hirsch and by Dr. Harris and Elisheva Teitz Goldstein l’zecher nishmos his parents, Rabbi Dr. Noah Goldstein, HaRav Noach ben Yitzchak David zt’l, and Beverly Goldstein, Bayla bas Noach Ze’ev z’l, on their yahrzeits this week.
