Siman 597 – Simcha and fasting

וChelek 6

  1. Even though it is Yom haDIn, there is still a mitzvah of simcha on Rosh Hashana. Therefore eat and drink and be happy – just don’t eat your fill so you won’t become light headed and lose your sense of awe. (ShA MB )
  1. You are allowed to fast on Rosh Hashana and to daaven until midday even though on Shabbos and other Yom Tovim this is forbidden. (MB )
