Question
Is there an issue with eating a dairy meal on Shavuot day? (On the night of Shavuot, we have a meat meal)
Answer
Hello,
There are different customs regarding this. Those who are accustomed to eating a dairy meal in the morning or evening should follow their custom.
However, according to the essence of the law, the Yom Tov meal should be honored with meat, and it is better to eat the dairy foods customary on Shavuot outside of the meal, such as after the morning Kiddush. The day and night meals should be with meat. Alternatively, one can have two meals during the day, one with dairy and the other with meat.
[The honor of the day is preferable to the honor of the night, so for those who are accustomed to having a dairy meal, it is better to do so at night and honor the day meal with meat].
