In the Yerushalmi, this day is referred to as <em>Ben Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> (<em>y. <\/em>AZ 1:1), whereas in the Bavli, it is referred to as <em>Isru \u1e24ag<\/em>, meaning the day that is tied to the festival. By adding a little joy to <em>Isru \u1e24ag<\/em>, we demonstrate that the festival is dear to us and that it is difficult for us to let it go.<\/p>\n<p>The Sages state: \u201cWhoever makes an addition to the festival by eating and drinking is regarded by Scripture as though he had built an altar and offered a sacrifice on it. For it is said (Tehilim 118:27): \u2018Make an addition to the festival (<em>isru \u1e25ag<\/em>) with fat cattle, up to the horns of the altar\u2019\u201d (<em>Sukka<\/em> 45b). What does this mean? When a person eats for the sake of heaven so that he will have the strength to perform good deeds, and he invites guests in order to make them happy, and he speaks words of Torah at the table, then \u201ca person\u2019s table atones for him\u201d (<em>Berakhot<\/em> 55a; <em>Mena\u1e25ot<\/em> 97a; <em>Tosafot<\/em> and Maharsha <em>ad loc<\/em>.; <em>Avot<\/em> 3:3). The foundation for the holiness of the table begins with the festivals, when there is a mitzva to prepare festive meals. Accordingly, if one adds a festive meal to the day following the festival, he is extending the festival\u2019s holiness and values into the rest of the year. This is why it is as if he has built an altar and offered a sacrifice to God.<\/p>\n<p>Since the aura of the festival spills over somewhat into <em>Isru \u1e24ag<\/em>, the custom is not to eulogize or fast then. Nevertheless, according to the letter of the law, it is not forbidden to do so (SAH 429:17; <em>Kaf Ha-\u1e25ayim<\/em> 494:48).<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, on <em>Isru \u1e24ag<\/em> of Shavu\u2019ot, even the letter of the law prohibits eulogizing and fasting, because it is \u201ca day of slaughter,\u201d meaning a day when sacrifices are brought. Sometimes the festival offerings were sacrificed then. For example, if Shavu\u2019ot was on Shabbat, the <em>olat re\u2019iya<\/em> and <em>shalmei \u1e25agiga<\/em> would be postponed until Sunday, which was <em>Isru \u1e24ag<\/em>. Other years as well, many people did not manage to offer all their sacrifices on the festival, so the following day they offered what remained. A day on which sacrifices are offered is considered a day of <em>sim\u1e25a<\/em>. Therefore, one may not eulogize or fast then (SA 494:3; <em>Levush<\/em>; MA <em>ad loc<\/em>. 3; SAH <em>ad loc<\/em>. 19).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a good custom to eat and drink a little more than usual on the day following a festival (Rema 429:2), since the aura of the festival spills over into it.
