I'm a bit confused.<BR/><BR/>I responded:<BR/><BR/>The <A HREF="http://www.shofar.net/Content/Kitzur_Shulchan.htm#סימן_צח" REL="nofollow">Kitzur</A> clearly forbids it:<BR/> ונר יום זכרון אין להדליק ביום טוב. <BR/><BR/>The Kitzur would expect you to always light a "2 day" Yahrzeit candle to get around this problem.<BR/><BR/>However the Chofetz Chaim in his Biyur Halocho (siman 514:5, Ner. Mishna Brura Vol 5 pg 266) brings various Poskim that allow it - especially if it's lit in the room you eat and it adds light.<BR/><BR/>So we now have a source for those who allow it. <BR/><BR/>If that's your family Minhag then you have no reason to change it.<BR/><BR/>- DannyDanny Schoemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242699287595683509noreply@blogger.com
