A meal with a queen on the eve of Yom Kippur
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask a few halachic questions:
1. Is it obligatory to eat a fourth meal on the night of Yom Tov? And is the obligation in terms of bread?
2. Is Yom Kippur considered a good day for the purpose of requiring a fourth meal on its day off? Or is it considered a Sabbath? And is there an obligation to eat a meal on the day off of Yom Kippur?

1. Until you ask about a fourth meal, where did the third one go? On Yom Kippur, there is no provision for three meals, and it seems that there is simply no obligation to have a fourth meal. Although the Barambam is correct in stating that there is an obligation to have a third meal on Yom Kippur (Hebrew: Shabbat 59:9), the Bible rejected this, and so did we.
2. There is no obligation, just as there was no obligation to eat three meals a day. I saw a short answer about the obligation to eat on the eve of the Sabbath that fell on Shabbat: http://www.ykr.org.il/modules/Ask/answer/2778
