In between is <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed.<\/em> Pesa\u1e25 is a week long (eight days in the Diaspora), including five days of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> (four in the Diaspora). The combination of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret is eight days long (nine in the Diaspora), including six days of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> (five in the Diaspora). Thus we read about Pesa\u1e25: \u201cAnd on the fifteenth day of that month is the Lord\u2019s Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread for seven days. On the first day you shall celebrate a sacred occasion: you shall not do any <em>melakha <\/em>of labor. Seven days you shall make offerings by fire to the Lord. The seventh day shall be a sacred occasion: you shall not do any <em>melakha <\/em>of labor\u201d (Vayikra 23:6-8). It is similarly written regarding Sukkot: \u201cSay to the Israelite people: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month there shall be the Feast of Booths to the Lord, [to last] seven days. The first day shall be a sacred occasion: you shall not do any <em>melakha <\/em>of labor; seven days you shall bring offerings by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall observe a sacred occasion and bring an offering by fire to the Lord; it is a solemn gathering: you shall not do any <em>melakha <\/em>of labor\u201d (Vayikra 23:34-36).<\/p>\n<p><em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> has an in-between status. On one hand, it is <em>\u1e25ol<\/em> (weekday); on the other hand, it is <em>mo\u2019ed<\/em> (festival). Therefore, it is referred to as <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>, the \u201cweekday of the festival.\u201d These days are included as part of the festival, and there is a Torah obligation of <em>sim\u1e25a<\/em> on them. Furthermore, festival offerings are offered on <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>, just as they are on Yom Tov. It is only by including these days that Pesa\u1e25 and Sukkot can be said to last seven days. On <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed <\/em>Pesa\u1e25, eating <em>\u1e25ametz<\/em> is prohibited; on <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> Sukkot, sitting in the <em>sukka<\/em> is a mitzva. These observances are the same as those of Yom Tov. The days of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> are included in the festivals that the Torah calls \u201csacred occasions\u201d (<em>mikra\u2019ei kodesh<\/em>), as we read: \u201cThose are the set times of the Lord that you shall celebrate as sacred occasions, bringing offerings by fire to the Lord \u2013 burnt offerings, meal offerings, sacrifices, and libations \u2013 on each day what is proper to it\u201d (Vayikra 23:37). Accordingly, the <em>Musaf<\/em> service of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> includes the phrase: \u201cthis day of sacred occasion\u201d (SA 490:3; MB <em>ad loc<\/em>. 6).<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, when the Torah relates to the festivals in more detail, it emphasizes that the first and last days are sacred occasions during which <em>melekhet avoda<\/em> is forbidden. By implication, the days of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed <\/em>are not sacred occasions with respect to <em>melakha<\/em>. Therefore, it is permissible to undertake <em>melakha<\/em> that is for the sake of the festival or that is necessary to avert a loss. Since these days have an aspect of <em>\u1e25ol<\/em>, we recite <em>havdala<\/em> between Yom Tov and <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>, and include the phrase \u201cWho distinguishes between the sacred and the mundane\u201d (2:11 above).<\/p>\n<p>In this chapter we will explore the <em>mitzvot<\/em> of <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>, and then in the following two chapters we will explain in more detail the laws pertaining to doing <em>melakha<\/em> on <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>. Chapter 11 will deal with the <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> laws that are relevant to everyone in their daily lives, and chapter 12 will address the various circumstances that may justify working on <em>\u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The festivals of Pesa\u1e25 and Sukkot begin and end with a day of Yom Tov (two days in the Diaspora).
