<p>I thank the esteemed Rabbi for his most interesting and well-delivered lecture.</p>
<p>While Rabbi Dr. Shnayer Leiman accurately described the <em>minhag </em>of giving <em>tiqqun </em>on a <em>yahrzeit</em>, he omitted to mention that it is also the custom that the person providing the <em>tiqqun </em>- if it is in memory of his parents - does not partake of the <em>tiqqun</em>. Thus, this minhag in no way contradicts the custom to fast on a <em>yahrzeit</em>.</p>
<p>I further believe that the <em>minhag </em>to travel to Meron around the period of <em>Lag BoOmer</em> is mentioned by R. Ovadiah Bartenuroh of the 15th century.</p>
