#It is forbidden to do melacha on erev pesach after mid-day. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 468:1. Mishna Berura 468:1 says based on a Yerushalmi quoted by Tosafot Pesachim 50a "makom shenahagu" that the reason for this is that it is when we brought korban pesach and the day which you bring a korban is a yom tov and work is forbidden midirabanan, and this prohibition applies nowadays even though we don't have the korban. Rashi there gives a different reason that we want people to be free to prepare for the seder and get rid of their chametz. Pnei Yehoshua there explains that it is because the rabbis gave erev pesach the status of chol hamoed. Biur Halacha "mechatzot u'limala" says that according to Tosafot's reason if Pesach falls out on erev shabbat, melacha is not prohibited until mincha. But he adds that for Rashi the prohibition would still apply even when Pesach falls out on erev shabbat it would still be forbidden after mid-day, but concludes that most poskim hold like tosafot so one doesn't need to be machmir. </ref> | ===After Chatzot===#It is forbidden to do melacha on erev pesach after mid-day. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 468:1.
