DAF DISCUSSIONS - YOMA 78

Sholom Twerski asks:

All over we say that there are only 2 mitzvos asei that if you don't do them, one is Chayiv Kares- Korban Pesach and Bris Milah. Why isn't eating on Yom Kippur also because there's no lav not to eat but rather a bitul of the Mitzvas Asei of V'inisem?

Sholom Twerski, Phoenix, AZ

The Kollel replies:

Dear Sholom,

Great question. The Rambam demonstrates [1] that really there is a negative commandment associated with fasting on Yom Kippur, and a portion of his argument is based on your very point.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Yishai Rasowsky

The Kollel adds:

Dear Sholom,

I would add that the main source to help address issue would be in Yoma 81a-b [2], which the Rambam codifies [3].

Best wishes,

Yishai
