</div>The KSA in 212:1 says that during the entire Shloshim an Aveil may<br>
not eat at a Seudat Mitzva, including a Siyum, unless it's being made<br>
in his home.<br>
<br>
The question then becomes more general: Can any Aveil during Shloshim<br>
eat after hearing the Siyum in Shul? After all, he cannot eat at that<br>
Siyum.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I heard a Shiur once whose details I cannot remember, but from what I recall, there is a difference in opinion whether a bechor can eat after just hearing the siyum or just attending the seudat mitzvah. All I can remember is that it's better to do both, but I seem to remember that there were shitot that said either one or the other was enough.</div>
