# 4452 Eat Much but Not Fast
Question
Dear Rov. My family tradition is to fast on the day of the Yohrzait of parents, and I have done so for my fathers Yohrzait. This year we will commemorating my mothers Yohrzait on Erev Yom Kippur, can I fast on that day?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you should eat on Erev Yom Kippur since it is a mitzva to eat on that day and it overrides the other minhag that can be kept for each parent individually.
