| May 15, 2015 at 3:22 | comment | added | Fred | Actually, the Rama doesn't directly mention the idea to avoid inviting people, but the Pischei T'shuva (YD 265:18) cites the מקום שמואל (number 80) in the name of the Sharvit HaZahav as the source for this custom. The Rama just mentions that someone who avoids attending a circumcision feast is considered as if he is excommunicated by Heaven. | |
| May 15, 2015 at 2:53 | comment | added | Fred | ...Essentially, a Jewish wedding feast is considered a mitzva feast (see P'sachim 49, and this article for some proofs of this), and it may even be a higher level of mitzva feast than for a circumcision (see, for e.g., Bei'ur HaGra OC 640:6). | |
| May 15, 2015 at 2:47 | comment | added | Fred | +1. This is a great question. You'd think the same reasoning would apply to a wedding feast, for example. This is based on P'sachim 113b, which mentions an opinion that people who avoid participating in a gathering for a mitzva feast are considered excommunicated by Heaven. Based on P'sachim 49a, Rashi (113b) and Tosafos (114a) give examples of such a mitzva feast: for a circumcision and for a wedding between a kohen and the daughter of a kohen (the latter e.g. was really only given to contrast with a case where the daughter of a kohen marries an 'am ha'aretz of the basest order). | |
