      A WORD ON HOL HAMO'ED SUKKOT
Hol Hamo'ed constitutes the intermediate days of a festival. This period of the festival already began with the conclusion of the second day of Yom Tov, Wednesday evening.
On these days, the festival spirit remains, though many Yom Tov restrictions are lifted. These are days of SHAKE & TAKE-we "shake" the lulav & etrog in the morning and "take" our meals in the sukkah.
