Q. This coming Sunday is the 15 day of Tamuz and is the Yohrzait of two great Gedolim. The Shaagas Aryeh and also the Orach Chaim ZT”L. We want to give a Kiddush this Shabbat to honor their memory.

Is it better to give one great kiddush for both or dedicate one Shabbat for the one and next Shabbat for the other? If we do separate, is it correct to do first the one who was niftar first? Does it matter that the second one would be already during the Three Weeks?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlita opinion is that for those who have the minhag to serve a kiddush on such an occasion, it is indeed better when possible to join both Kiddushim and make a greater and better kiddush Berov Am, with many present.
