Question
Is it permissible to hold a Sheva Brachot meal on the night of the 10th of Tevet? If so, is there a preference to avoid eating meat or to limit singing?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to the law, there is no mourning on the night of the 10th of Tevet and other fasts, but a pious person should fast at that time. Contemporary poskim are divided on whether a mitzvah meal is permitted at night, and according to their view, there is no need to limit meat or singing. Some poskim believe that one should reduce joy even on the night of the fast. Everyone should follow the instructions of their rabbi.
