כְּשֵׁם שֶׁמִּצְוָה לְכַבֵּד אֶת הַשַׁבָּת וּלְעַנְּגוֹ, כָּךְ מִצְוָה לְכַבֵּד כָּל יָמִים טוֹבִים וּלְעַנְּגָן, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר לִקְדוֹשׁ ה' מְכֻבָּד. וְכָל יָמִים טוֹבִים, נֶאֱמַר בָּהֶם מִקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
Just as it is a mitzvah to honor the Shabbos and delight in it, so it is a mitzvah to honor all the *Yomim Tovim* and delight in them, as it is said,¹ 58:13. This verse mentions taking delight in Shabbos, God’s holy day. "God's holy and honored" (day). And with regard to all *Yomim Tovim* it is said, "A holy convocation."²)

² Yom Tov is, therefore, like Shabbos in this regard. (Rambam

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
What is meant by honor? As our Rabbis, of blessed memory, said, "It is a mitzvah for a man to take a haircut on *erev* Yom Tov so that he does not enter the festival looking untidy. It is also a mitzvah to bathe in warm water, to wash your hair, and to cut your nails on *erev* Yom Tov, the same as on erev Shabbos. It is also a mitzvah to bake challos in your house on *erev* Yom Tov in honor of Yom Tov, just as it is on *erev* Shabbos. It is forbidden to³ 529:1. The term forbidden is not to be taken literally, for it is not forbidden; it is just better not to eat then. (*Mishnah Berurah, Eliyahu Rabbah*) eat⁴. This includes doing work. (*Eliyahu Rabbah, Biur Halachah* 529:1) on *erev* Yom Tov after⁵ which starts 9-1/2 hours into the day. (*Mishnah Berurah, Eliyahu Rabbah, Vilna Gaon*) You should not eat a meal from a half an hour before this time. (*Biur Halachah, Shulchan Aruch Harav*) The *Ramah* 639:3 and *Chok Yaakov* 471 rule that on *erev* Sukkos you may not eat bread from noon onward. The *Matteh Ephraim* rules, if you were unable to eat before noon, you may eat bread before noon. *Minchah,*⁶ Even on *erev* Sukkos and *erev* Pesach. (*Matteh Ephraim* 625:7) just as on *erev* Shabbos, so that you will be able to eat the Yom Tov meal with good appetite. And if *erev* Yom Tov occurs on Shabbos, you must eat the third meal before *Minchah ketanah*.⁷ (see glossary). (*Machatzis Hashekel, Sha’ar Hatziyun* 529:10) This law also applies to the first day of Yom Tov, since it is the *eve* of the second day of Yom Tov.⁸. See *Biur Halachah* 529:1 who questions this.

⁴ See Rambam
⁵ This refers to Minchah Ketanah
⁶ You may eat meat, fish,or fruit even after Minchah ketanah.
⁷ If you did not, you should eat only a little bread, that is slightly more than a kebeitzah

אֵיזֶהוּ עֹנֶג. זֶה שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה, שֶׁחַיָּב לֶאֱכוֹל בְּיוֹם טוֹב בְּכָל יוֹם שְׁתֵּי סְעוּדוֹת, אַחַת בַּלַּיְלָה וְאַחַת בַּיּוֹם. אֲבָל סְעוּדָּה שְׁלִישִׁית, אֵין נוֹהֲגִין בּוֹ. וְחַיָּב לְקַדֵּשׁ עַל הַיַּיִן קֹדֶם סְעוּדָּה וְיִבְצַע עַל שְׁתֵּי כִּכָּרוֹת שְׁלֵמוֹת כְּמוֹ בַּשַׁבָּת. וְיַרְבֶּה בְּבָשָׂר וְיַיִן וּמִגְדָּנוֹת כְּפִי יְכָלְתּוֹ (וְעַיֵּן לעיל ס' עב סע"ז ח).

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
What is meant by delight? As our Rabbis, of blessed memory, said on each Yom Tov day you must have two meals, one at night and one during the day,⁹ at the morning meal. (see *Magein Avraham, Mishnah Berurah* 529:13) but it is not our custom to have a third meal.¹⁰ hold it is best to eat at least some fruit. Some people add an extra dish in the morning meal to represent a third meal. However, this does not suffice for the third meal on Shabbos. (*Mishnah Berurah* 529:13) You are obligated to say *kiddush* over a cup of wine before the meal. You should say *Hamotzi* on two whole loaves as you do on Shabbos,¹¹ 529: Because a double portion of manna was sent down on *erev* Yom Tov, as on *erev* Shabbos. (*Beis Yosef, Rif*) and you should be lavish with meat, wine and sweets, according to your means.

בְּכָל יוֹם טוֹב, בַּקִּדּוּשׁ שֶׁבַּלַיְלָה אוֹמְרִים לְאַחֲרָיו בִּרְכַּת שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ עַל שִׂמְחַת הֶחָג, חוּץ מִלֵּיל שְׁבִיעִי שֶׁל פֶּסַח וְלֵיל שְׁמִינִי, שֶׁאֵין מְבָרְכִין שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ, כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵינוֹ רֶגֶל בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. וְהַנָּשִׁים, בִּשְׁעַת הַדְלָקַת הַנֵּרוֹת אֵין לָהֶן לְבָרֵךְ שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ בְּשׁוּם יוֹם טוֹב. וּקְצָתָן נוֹהֲגוֹת לְבָרֵךְ שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ (חוּץ מִלֵּיל ז' וְלֵיל ח' שֶׁל פֶּסַח) וְלָא מָחֵינָן לְהוּ (שְאֵילַת יעְבֵּ"ץ) (סִימָן רס"ג ת"צ תרס"ח תרס"ט).

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
On every Yom Tov, at the conclusion of the *kiddush* at night we say the berachah of *Shehecheyanu* on the joy of the holiday, except on the seventh and eighth nights of Pesach when *shehecheyanu* is omitted, since they are not a separate Yom Tov in themselves. When lighting the candles, women should not say the berachah *shehecheyanu* on any Yom Tov. Some women follow the custom of saying *shehecheyanu* on all *Yomim Tovim* (except on the seventh and eighth nights of Pesach), and we do not protest their practice.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
Every man is obligated to gladden the hearts¹² also, but, honoring and taking delight is only an obligation of the actual Yom Tov. (*Shulchan Aruch Harav, Mishnah Berurah* 529:16) of his wife, his children, and all who are dependent on him, in a way suitable for each. To the little children you should give nuts and candy, to the women,¹³ Responsum 1) But *Sha’agas Aryeh* rules that women, too, are obligated to rejoice on Yom Tov. *Toras Avigdor* says they are forbidden to fast on Yom Tov. clothing and jewelry according to your means,¹⁴ and to the men, meat and wine.¹⁵ offering (peace-offering), eating meat is a mitzvah and drinking wine an obligation. (*Biur Halachah* 529:2, *Shulchan Aruch Harav* 529:7) *Chayei Adam* rules that even now, you may fulfill your obligation with meat or wine. It is the custom to serve a greater variety of foods on Yom Tov than on Shabbos, because with regard to Yom Tov, the Torah mentions "rejoicing," but it is not mentioned with regard to Shabbos. Also Yom Tov clothes should be more expensive than Shabbos clothes.

On the second day of Pesach, you should add an extra dish to the meal to remember the feast of Esther which took place on this day, for it was on this day that Haman was hanged.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
On the first day of Shavuos it is customary to eat dairy foods. There are several reasons for this. A hint of this custom is found in the words, *Minchah chadashah LaShem beshavuoseichem.*¹⁶ 25:26. The initials of these words spell *meichalav*—"of milk." You should also eat foods with honey, because the Torah is compared to milk and honey, as it is said,¹⁷ 4:11. "Honey and milk are under your tongue." Now, since we eat dairy foods and we must also eat meat, because it is a mitzvah to eat meat on every Yom Tov, care must be taken not to violate the law of mixing the dairy and meat foods.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
Even though eating and drinking on festivals is a positive commandment, you should not spend all day eating and drinking, because it is said, "(A day of) restraint (in honor) of Adonoy, your God." Even though it is said, "(A day of) restraint it shall be for *you*," our Rabbis, of blessed memory, explained:¹⁸ 15. The day should be divided, half devoted to Hashem and half to yourself. Therefore, it is your duty to engage also in the study of Torah.

And when you eat and drink, it is your duty to provide also for the orphan, the widow and other needy people, as it is said, "And the Levite, the proselyte, and the orphan etc…." (*Deuteronomy* 16:14). He who locks the doors of his courtyard, and eats and drinks with his wife and children and does not give food and drink to the poor and unhappy souls, is not rejoicing in a mitzvah, but rejoicing in his gluttony. Concerning such people it is said,¹⁹ 9:4. "Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of them will be unclean; for their bread will be for their souls." And such rejoicing is a disgrace for them as it is said,²⁰ 2:3. "I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your festival offerings."

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
When a person eats and drinks, and rejoices on the festival, he should not overindulge in drinking wine, in laughter and lightheadedness, thinking that the more he indulges, the greater will be the mitzvah of rejoicing. For drunkenness, mockery and lightheadedness is not rejoicing, but licentiousness and foolishness. And we were not commanded to act licentiously and foolishly, but to rejoice in the service of the Creator of all things, as it is said, "Because you did not serve Adonoy, your God, with happiness and a glad heart, when you had plenty of everything."²¹ 28:47. From this we infer that the service of God must be done with joy, but you cannot serve God in frivolity, or lightheadness or in drunkenness.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
It is the way of the pious, who constantly have God before them, and who are mindful of Him in all their ways, when they rejoice, to greatly bless and praise the Holy One Blessed is He Who enabled them to rejoice. A man should say to himself at the time of his rejoicing and pleasure, "If the happiness of this world is so great, (a world) which is vanity because it ends in grief and sorrow, how great will be the eternal joy of the World to Come which is not followed by grief." And he should pray to the Holy One Blessed is He that He bend his heart to serve Him and to do His will wholeheartedly, and that He should gladden us with everlasting joy, and make us worthy of the life of the World to Come, to be enlightened by the light of the presence of the Living King.

It is customary to eat and drink a bit more lavishly [than usual] on the day after all three festivals. That day is called *Isru chag,* and it is customary not to fast on that day. Even a groom and bride on their wedding day [do not fast], and a person observing *yahrzeit* [should also not fast on *Isru chag*]. On *Isru chag* following Shavuos, even according to *halachah,* it is forbidden to fast, because when the *Beis Hamikdash* was in existence, if Shavuos occurred on Shabbos, the sacrifices were offered on the following day. But on Pesach and Sukkos, they were offered on the first day of *Chol Hamoed.*
