Can I Bring in a Second Day of Yom Tov Early?
from Responsa Radio
As a parent of little children, our family always has a lot of tension around the second night of a two day Yom Tov, especially when it gets dark very late. I was always taught that you have to wait until it is fully dark after the first day of Yom Tov to start preparing anything for the second day. That means we don’t start cooking or even setting the table until after 9 PM. This wreaks havoc on my family schedule. Is there any wiggle room here?Have a question you'd like answered on Responsa Radio? Email us at [email protected] featured in this episode: Prayer For My Children by Soul Aviv
