KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:

1. The days between Yom Tov (which ended last night) and the Seventh Day of Sukkot (Sunday night) are called Hol HaMo’ed, and these days are stated as ‘holy’ by the Torah. Everyone is prohibited in doing melacha (craft/work/labor). It is also appropriate to respect these days with wearing dressy clothing and being in simha (happiness) by eating meat and drinking wine. One should by his wife modest clothing and jewelry and his children with candy. Lechathila (the best way) one should eat bread in their meals during Hol HaMo’ed.

2. It is a Mitzvah to greaten one’s Torah learning during Hol HaMo’ed because pikudei Hashem mesamhei lev, “The orders of Hashem are upright, causing the heart to rejoice” (Tehillim 19:9). When one learns Torah they are fulfilling the Mitzvah of being happy for Sukkot. These days are prohibited in labor just because one cannot act like other days of the year, yemei hol, where there is no kedusha (holiness) in them whatsoever.
