Q. Our Daf Hayomi group is planing to make a Siyum on Masechet Taanit on (Monday night) the eve of the fast of Asasrah Beteveth, the night we are actually finishing. In order to increase attendance we are planing to make a nice Seuda and play some music also. Someone posted online a special song for celebrating this particular Siyum that includes the last words of the Masechta. Can it be played during the Seuda?

   A. On question 1974 we mentioned different opinions regarding having a wedding on the eve of the Tenth of Teves. Many of the Poskim including Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a advise to avoid a Chupa on that night unless there is great need.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shli’a opinion is that although the Siyum can be done, one should preferably avoid the playing of music.
