## after one said the seventh word in the fourth Bracha, one should continue and not repeat Birkat Hamazon. <Ref> S”A 188:7 writes that one doesn’t need to repeat [[Birkat HaMazon]] if one forgot Yaaleh VeYavo on Chol HaMoed because there’s no obligation to have a bread meal on Chol HaMoed. </ref> | ## after one said the seventh word in the fourth Bracha, one should continue and not repeat Birkat Hamazon. <Ref> S”A 188:7 writes that one doesn’t need to repeat [[Birkat HaMazon]] if one forgot Yaaleh VeYavo on Chol HaMoed because there’s no obligation to have a bread meal on Chol HaMoed. </ref> | ||

# On Shabbat Chol HaMoed, both on Sukkot and Pesach, the Torah reading is from Reah Atta (usually Shelishi) until the end of Parshat Ki Tisa. <Ref>Rav Huna in Gemara Megillah 31a says that on Shabbat Chol HaMoed we read the portion beginning with Reah Atta. Rashi explains that we read this portion because it includes the mitzvot of shabbat, the regalim, and a reference to Chol HaMoed (derived by chazal in gemara Chagiga 18a).</ref>The Haftorah for Shabbat Chol HaMoed Sukkot is Bayom Bah Gog (beginning from Yechezkel 38:18) and the Haftorah for Shabbat Chol HaMoed Pesach is Atzamot Yeveshot (beginning from Yechezkel 37:4).<reF>Gemara Megillah 31a</ref> | # On Shabbat Chol HaMoed, both on Sukkot and Pesach, the Torah reading is from Reah Atta (usually Shelishi) until the end of Parshat Ki Tisa. <Ref>Rav Huna in Gemara Megillah 31a says that on Shabbat Chol HaMoed we read the portion beginning with Reah Atta.

# There’s a dispute whether work on Chol HaMoed is a Biblical prohibition or a Rabbinic one. According to Sephardim, the halacha is that work on Chol HaMoed is a Rabbinic prohibition. <Ref> In general, Rambam and Rosh hold the melacha is Derabbanan, while Rashi and the Rif hold it’s Deoritta (see Bet Yosef 530). In conclusion, Buir Halacha 530 D”H Umater brings many ריאשונים who hold melacha on Chol HaMoed is Deoritta and concludes that even though Shulchan Aruch holds that melacha is Derabbanan, one shouldn’t be lenient unless there’s a great need. However, Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 504) writes that one may be lenient like Shulchan Aruch and if there’s a safek (dispute in halacha) one can be lenient as it’s only derabbanan. </ref> | # There’s a dispute whether work on Chol HaMoed is a Biblical prohibition or a Rabbinic one.
