Question
According to Rabbeinu Yonah (in the book Shaarei Teshuva), who explained that the mitzvah to eat on the 9th of Tishrei is because there is no meal on Yom Kippur. Is a sick person, who is required to eat on Yom Kippur, obligated to eat on the eve of Yom Kippur?
Answer
Since the Torah has designated this day as a festival, and there is a mitzvah to eat, the mitzvah applies to all Jews, and the sick person must also eat.
