The Laws of Yom Tov: A Comprehensive Halachic Guide to the Laws and Practices of the Festivals
The Yom Tov laws are a grey area, so to speak, because many of the Shabbos labors are permitted – but under limited circumstances. What are the circumstances? What are the limitations? What labors are sometimes permitted? Which are never permitted? May one always carry? What degree of “Yom Tov need” is sufficient to permit the labors that are sometimes permitted? Is one ever permitted to prepare food for the next day? The list of questions is long and perplexing.
As always, Rabbi Cohen deals with the forest before turning to the trees. He explains the principles and parameters so that the reader has a clear understanding of the rules. Only then does he turn to specific cases. And, as is his forte, he deals with current situations, the sort of utensils and cases that one will not find spelled out clearly in the classic works of Halachah.
This is a work that belongs in every Jewish home, alongside Rabbi Cohen’s other works: The Shabbos Home, The Radiance of Shabbos, The Sanctity of Shabbos, The Shabbos Kitchen, and Children in Halachah.
Highly recommended!
By Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen. Artscroll, paperback, 314 pages.
