Can you study Torah on Yom Kippur?

In: Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud, Yom Kippur [Edit categories]

Answer:

Absolutely. One may and should study Torah on Yom Kippur.

The only day that there are some restrictions on learning certain portions of Torah is on Tisha B'av when we are in mourning over the descruction of the temple. Thus, it is inappropriate on Tisha B'av to study portions that make one happy.
