#Washing or vacuuming the floor which is usually cleaned once or more times a week is permitted during Chol HaMoed.<ref>Minchat [[Yom Tov]] 104:2 writes that since it’s normal to wash the floor twice a week it’s permissible to wash the floors on Chol Hamoed even if it’s a excessive work, however, scrubbing the floor to remove dirt is forbidden as it involves a melacha and requires excessive effort. Hilchot Chol HaMoed Zichron Shlomo (pg 19) extends this to floors that are cleaned once a week, and permits vacuuming as well. </ref> | #Washing or vacuuming the floor which is usually cleaned once or more times a week is permitted during Chol HaMoed.<ref>Minchat [[Yom Tov]] 104:2 writes that since it’s normal to wash the floor twice a week it’s permissible to wash the floors on Chol Hamoed even if it’s a excessive work, however, scrubbing the floor to remove dirt is forbidden as it involves a melacha and requires excessive effort.

#Many forbid fishing for pleasure on Chol HaMoed, while some are lenient.

However many others side are strict including Sh”t Rivevot Efraim 1:356(2) and Chol HaMoed KeHilchato (7:24, p. 244) in the name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurerbach, Rav Wosner, and Rabbi Brandsdorfer. He explains that they hold that going on a trip for pleasure and enjoyment isn't a tzorech hamoed. Hilchot Chol HaMoed Zichron Shlomo (pg 38) writes that (according to all) one can be lenient if the fish will be eaten. See Tosfot Beitzah 12a and Rama 518 who write that playing with a ball for pleasure is a small tzorech yom tov. </ref> | ||
##Some hold that any activity that is done for pleasure on Chol Hamoed even if it involves melacha is permitted since that is simchat hachag.<ref>Rav Moshe (Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo teshuvot n. 13)</ref> However, many authorities argue that it isn't considered simchat hachag.<ref>Debretziner (Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo teshuvot n. 30), Rivevot Efraim 1:356(2)</ref> Some have a compromise view and permit activities that involve melacha with minimal exertion, but not something that involves exertion like fishing.<ref>Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo (Biurim 4)</ref> | ##Some hold that any activity that is done for pleasure on Chol Hamoed even if it involves melacha is permitted since that is simchat hachag.<ref>Rav Moshe (Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo teshuvot n. 13), Rav Elyashiv (Ashrei Haish 3:8:6, v. 3 p. 52). Rav Elyashiv wrote that a person should try to minimize the tircha (exertion) he is involved in. However, if the exertion is pleasurable, such as row boating, it is permitted. Halacha Sheleima (siman 23) is lenient and quotes Hitorerut Teshuva 48 as a proof to be lenient. Yalkut Yosef (Chol Hamoed p. 888) quotes that some poskim are lenient to go fishing for pleasure. In the footnote he cites the dispute between Rav Wosner and Rav Moshe. He doesn't clearly resolve the dispute.</ref> However, many authorities argue that it isn't considered simchat hachag.<ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Chol Hamoed Khilchato 7:24), Rav Wosner (Mbet Levi Hilchot Chol Hamoed 5783 p. 16), Rabbi Brandsdorfer (Chol Hamoed Khilchato), Hilchot Chag Bchag (p. 183), Debretziner (Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo teshuvot n. 30), Rivevot Efraim 1:356(2)</ref> Some have a compromise view and permit activities that involve melacha with minimal exertion, but not something that involves exertion like fishing.<ref>Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo (Biurim 4)</ref> | ||
