Eating at a Brit Milah Meal for Someone Who Observes a Yahrzeit Fast

I always observe a fast on the Yahrzeit (anniversary of death) of my father, and this year my brother is having a Brit Milah (circumcision ceremony) for his son on that day. Am I allowed to eat at the Brit Milah?

There is a dispute among the later authorities on this matter, and you may act according to your preference. Regarding your brother, it is permissible to eat.
