18 Tishrei 5773
Today is the fourth 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
Today is the Hiloula of Rabbi Nahman miBreslev, daven in his zekhout!
II. GENERAL HALAKHOT
(I apologize for the length of the emails this week, as we have a lot of relevant information to cover in a rather limited time)
Some types of work are permitted and some are prohibited on Hol HaMoed. In general, work is permitted if it is:
-to prevent depreciation of capital or to take advantage of a passing opportunity
-for the purpose of the holiday
-by a worker who must earn for immediate basic needs
-for public need
-performed in an "amateur" way
-for a medical purpose, even if the sick person is not in a life-threatening situation.
Haircuts are not permitted during Hol HaMoed.
To assure everybody cleans the clothing needed for the holiday beforehand so that they enter the holiday respectably, cleaning clothes during Hol HaMoed was prohibited. Also, people should not have to spend valuable holiday time in chores such as washing garments. This prohibition includes giving clothes to a commercial cleaner during Hol HaMoed.
