Question
Is there a significance or obligation to hold a meal upon the completion of a tractate, and why did many great rabbis not do so?
Answer
The mitzvah to hold a meal (Shabbat 118, Yoreh De'ah 246) is not an obligation, and sometimes it can lead to the neglect of Torah study, which is why a completion meal was not always held.
