# 1248 A Good Many
Question
Is there a mitzvah to attend a pidyon petter chamor? (redemption of a first born donkey) Should one who is sitting and learning Torah stop learning to attend?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is a mitzva to observe the performance of a mitzva, as the Talmud teaches (Yuma 70a) Berov Am Haddrass Melech. (In the multitude of people is the king’s glory- Mishlei 14: 28). However, even if this is a mitzva, one should not stop learning Torah to do so.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a.
