When Yud Shevat Falls on Friday

When Yud Shevat coincides with Erev Shabbos, it is difficult to arrange Farbrengens on the day itself. Similar limitations are presented by both the night and day of Shabbos. In such a case, we should exert special effort in advance, to determine exactly when and how to hold the Farbrengens in the days that follow Yud Shevat.

Ideally, though, we should farbreng on Yud Shevat (despite it being a Friday) or the next day (although it is Shabbos). Later, during subsequent days, we should hold another, Grand Farbrengen, in a manner and at a time that allows for as many participants as possible – the more people, the better!
