Shavu’os

92. One who needs to say Yizkor on the second day of Shavu’os and is in a place where there is no minyan, may say it alone1.

93. In Eretz Yisrael, where there is only one day Yom Tov, Yizkor is recited on the first day of Shavuos. In the Diaspora, where there are two days of Yom Tov, Yizkor is recited on the second day of Shavuos.

A question thus arises concerning a visitor from the diaspora who is spending Yom Tov in Eretz Yisrael and celebrating two days of Yom Tov. In this situation he should refrain from saying Yizkor on the first day of Shavuos, and say it on the following day as he usually does.

A visitor from Eretz Yisrael spending Yom Tov in the diaspora, should nonetheless say the Yizkor on the first day of Shavuos, even though he is the only one saying it. However, he should say it quietly and discreetly. If he wishes, he is permitted to repeat the Yizkor on the following day along with the congregants2.
