Outside of Israel we keep a second day of [[Yom Tov]] and even though originally when it was established it was because we weren’t sure about the dates, and nowadays we have an established calendar, the obligation still exists. This is because the rabbis decided that maybe one of the governments ruling over us outside of Israel can decree that we can’t learn torah, and we would get confused with how to set when [[Rosh Chodesh]] is and mistakenly eat chametz on Pesach. <ref>(Beitza 4b) </ref> | Outside of Israel we keep a second day of [[Yom Tov]] and even though originally when it was established it was because we weren’t sure about the dates, and nowadays we have an established calendar, the obligation still exists.

# Everything that is prohibited on the first day is equally forbidden on the second except to for a sick person who is not in danger of dying. On the first day you can only get healed by a non-Jew but on the second day a Jew can do himself as long as its only violating a rabbinic prohibition but something that is forbidden from the Torah is forbidden even on the second day. <ref> S”A and Rama 496:2 </ref> | # Everything that is prohibited on the first day is equally forbidden on the second except to for a sick person who is not in danger of dying.
