| * Rav Hershel Schachter (Bikvei Hatzoan p. 81) writes that simcha on [[Pesach]] may be a composite mitzvah for all of [[Pesach]], whereas simcha on [[Sukkot]] is a separate mitzvah for each day of [[Yom Tov]] and [[Chol HaMoed]]. He supports this contention from the fact that [[Hallel]] with a bracha is only said on the first day and that the [[Korbanot]] [[Mussaf]] of [[Sukkot]] were different every day. Similarly, Rabbi Mordechai Willig (Pesachim shiur 110 on simchas [[yom tov]]) quoted Rav Yerucham Fishel Perlow on Rasag p. 254-5 says that there's only mitzvah to eat meat once on [[pesach]]. </ref> | | * Rav Hershel Schachter (Bikvei Hatzoan p. 81) writes that simcha on [[Pesach]] may be a composite mitzvah for all of [[Pesach]], whereas simcha on [[Sukkot]] is a separate mitzvah for each day of [[Yom Tov]] and [[Chol HaMoed]].

| # Why is there an obligation to eat bread on Shabbat and Yom Tov? Is there an obligation to eat a bread meal on Chol Hamoed?<ref>See [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_r4Fu2E-hr6v8RRUb7-VnMAnv7dSdkiTwTOiAtHEnvo/edit?usp=sharing Mareh Makomos here].</ref>

| #Rashba understands that there's an obligation to eat bread on Shabbat because of Oneg Shabbat, but there's no obligation to eat bread meals on Yom Tov, besides the first night of Sukkot and Pesach. Accordingly, there is no obligation to eat bread on Chol Hamoed. <ref>Rashba (Brachot 49b s.v. tefila and Teshuvot 3:287) writes that the obligation to eat bread meals on Shabbat is because of oneg Shabbat, but oneg does not apply to Yom Tov. It is clear that it also does not apply to Chol Hamoed since it doesn’t apply to Yom Tov either. Rabbi Akiva Eiger (teshuva 1 in hashmatot) takes a similar approach where he says that eating bread meals on Shabbat and Yom Tov is based on kavod Shabbat and Yom Tov and does not apply to Chol Hamoed. Tosfot (Sukkah 27a s.v. iy) also hold that there’s no obligation to eat bread meals on Yom Tov. See Yachava Daat 5:36 who elaborates on the view of Rashba.</ref>

| #However, Rosh argues that there is an obligation to eat bread on Yom Tov because of the mitzvah of simcha. According to this, seemingly, there is an obligation to eat two bread meals on Chol Hamoed.<ref>However, Rosh (Brachot 7:23) writes that the obligation to eat bread meals on Yom Tov is because of simchat Yom Tov. Accordingly, it makes sense that he would be obligated to eat bread meals every day of Chol Hamoed. This opinion is found in Rabbenu Yerucham (Netiv 4 Chelek 2, Netiv 8 Chelek 2) who quotes some who obligate eating two bread meals each day of Chol Hamoed. (Tosfot Harosh Brachot 49b s.v. shabatot, Tosfot Rabbenu Peretz Sukkah 27a s.v. iy, Baal Hamoer Pesachim 18b, and Levush 188:7 agree with Rosh that meals on Yom Tov are based on simcha. Raah (Brachot 49b) and Ritva (Sukkah 27a s.v. ha and Beitzah 15b) also seem to agree with Rosh. All of these rishonim hold that there’s an obligation to eat two meals of bread every Yom Tov.)</ref>

| #A third approach that is accepted by Shulchan Aruch and Magen Avraham, there is an obligation to eat two bread meals on Yom Tov, but no obligation of Chol Hamoed. The reason for this approach is that the obligation to eat bread stems from Oneg Shabbat or Oneg Yom Tov, but Chol Hamoed doesn't have any mitzvah of Oneg.<ref>Rambam’s opinion is unclear. Rabbenu Yerucham (Netiv 8 Chelek 2) writes that Rambam (Sukkah 6:7) holds that there’s no obligation to eat bread meals on Yom Tov besides the first night of Pesach and Sukkot. According to this, Rambam would agree with Rashba. However, there is evidence from Rambam (Brachot 2:12 and Shabbat 30:9) that clearly implies that there is an obligation to eat bread meals on Yom Tov.

| Regarding Chol Hamoed, Bet Yosef’s conclusion is based on Smag and Kol Bo who write that there’s no obligation to eat bread meals on Chol Hamoed. Even though Bet Yosef quotes Tashbetz Katan 214 who disagreed and held that there is an obligation to have a bread meal, our text of Tashbetz Katan is clear that there’s no obligation to eat bread meals on Chol Hamoed.</ref>

| #A husband should get his wife a gift for simchat yom tov.<ref>Gemara Pesachim 109a, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 529:2</ref> Most poskim hold that it doesn't have to be clothing specifically; any gift that she would appreciate is sufficient.<ref>Though the Gemara and Shulchan Aruch specify clothing, [https://ph.yhb.org.il/plus/12-01-10/ Peninei Halacha 1:10:4] quotes the Chut Shani 22:2 p. 161, Shevet Halevi 8:124, and Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shulchan Shlomo 529:5) who hold that a husband can fulfill the mitzvah of gladdening his wife for simchat yom tov with another gift such as a cooking utensil or flowers. Rav Elyashiv disagreed (Leket Dinei Yom Tov 1:4).</ref>
