Today is the third day of SUKKOT! Remember to say Ya'aleh VeYavo!
Hallel is also recited today, but women do not make a Berakhah on it (in both the beginning and the end) J
I. OVERVIEW OF HOL HAMOED
By Rav Moshe Shamah, the Sephardic Institute
The intermediate days of Pesah and Sukkot, referred to as Hol HaMoed, although not to the degree of Yom Tov, are days of sanctity and happiness and are to be honored and observed accordingly. Holiday prayers are recited and a number of holiday halakhot apply. Families should get together, parents should take children on outings and students should visit their rabbis. The grand concepts fostered by Pesah and Sukkot, the deliverance and providence of the Al-mighty, are to be more deeply implanted in the people by their living a full week with the special symbolism and procedures of these holidays.
