Postponing a Siyum during the Nine Days
Question
If someone happens to have a Siyum (a celebration in honor of finishing a Talmudic tractate) during the Nine Days, is he obligated to conduct the Siyum on that day, or can he save a few lines and conduct the Siyum on another day during the Nine Days?
Answer
Shalom!
I did not find a source for this in the books of Halacha, but logically it seems that there is no difference on which day during the Nine Days he will conduct it.
