# It is permitted to carry on Yom Tov for a need on Yom Tov.<ref>Bet Hillel in the Mishna Beitzah 11a says that it is permitted to carry on Yom Tov. Tosfot s.v. hachi garsinan records a dispute between the Rabbenu Chananel and the Tosfot as to what purpose it is permitted to carry. Rabbenu Chananel implies that it is only permitted to carry for a mitzvah such as bringing a baby to shul for a brit milah. However, Tosfot argues that it is even permitted to carry to take a walk outside which is part of simchat yom tov.

* In terms of carrying for no purpose, Rashi 11a s.v. elah holds that it is permitted on a biblical level and only prohibited on a rabbinic level. However, Tosfot argues that it is forbidden biblically. The Rashba (Beitzah 12a s.v. umekol makom), Ran (Beitzah 5b s.v. aval avanim), and Rosh (Beitzah 1:18) agree with Tosfot. Yet, the Maggid Mishna (Yom Tov 1:4) explains that the Rif and Rambam hold a third opinion. Really carrying is permitted on Yom Tov whether it is necessary for Yom Tov or not and it is only forbidden to move muktzeh. The Magen Avraham 518 follows the opinion of the Tosfot.</ref> However, if there’s no need it is forbidden unless there is an eruv.<ref> The Ran (Beitzah 9a s.v. tanu rabbanan) writes that it seems like from the gemara that there’s no need for an eruv chatzerot on Yom Tov. However, according to the Tosfot it seems that one should require an eruv. Either way, he concludes that certainly if it is necessary then having an eruv is sufficient. The Hagahot Mordechai Beitzah no. 659 (cited by Bet Yosef 518:1) agrees. Rama 518:1 codifies this opinion. </ref>

# Outside of an eruv it is forbidden to carry a siddur back from shul after it was used unless it is going to be used back at home or one is afraid of it getting stolen if left in shul.<ref>The Rosh 1:18 writes that just like it is permitted to carry on Yom Tov for a need it is permitted to bring those items back afterwards. His logic is that chazal permitted you to complete the process otherwise you wouldn’t begin it and be prevented from simchat yom tov in the first place. The Tur 518:1 agrees. However, the Maharshal (Yom Shel Shlomo Beitzah 1:30) adds that it is only permitted if one is afraid to leave the item there and feels the need to return it. The Magen Avraham 518:3 and Mishna Brurah 518:6 accept the opinion of the Maharshal. </ref>
