# A person who can walk without a cane may not walk with a cane on Yom Tov in a public domain or karmelit outside of an Eruv.<ref>The Gemara Beitzah 25b establishes that it is forbidden to walk with a cane, effectively carrying it, in a public domain on Yom Tov since it appears like a weekday activity (Rashi s.v. alunki). The Rashba (Beitzah 25b s.v. ein hasuma) writes that someone who can't walk without a cane may use it on Yom Tov and it is no different than shoes which he couldn't walk without. Tosfot (Shabbat 65b s.v. hakiteya) even writes that on Shabbat it is permitted for someone who needs a cane to walk to go out with it to a public domain on Shabbat. The Shitah Mikubeset (Beitzah 25b s.v. vekatav mori) quotes the Radvaz who argues with Tosfot but concludes that he doesn't feel confident to reject the ruling of Rabbenu Tam that it is permitted. Shulchan Aruch OC 301:17 accepts the opinion of Tosfot. Regarding Yom Tov this is cited by the Mishna Brurah 522:2.</ref> However, if he can walk without a cane he may only carry the cane in a private domain.<ref>Taz 522:1, Mishna Brurah 522:2. Aruch Hashulchan 522:1 explains that the issue with carrying the cane is a desecration of Yom Tov in that it appears to be a weekday activity. However, that issue only exists in the public domain or a karmelit, but in private there's no concern of appearing like a weekday activity.</ref> | # A person who can walk without a cane may not walk with a cane on Yom Tov in a public domain or karmelit outside of an Eruv.<ref>The Gemara Beitzah 25b establishes that it is forbidden to walk with a cane, effectively carrying it, in a public domain on Yom Tov since it appears like a weekday activity (Rashi s.v. alunki).

# It is forbidden to turn on or off electric appliances on Yom Tov just like it is forbidden on Shabbat.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 502:9 based on Yabia Omer 2:26, 1:19:7 ,3:15:3, 3:29:6, 10:54:9, Yachava Daat 1:32.

# If a non-Jew does a melacha for a Jew on Yom Tov such as picking fruit or tapping an animal, no Jew<ref>Rashi Beitzah 25a s.v. chutz and Tosfot Beitzah 25a s.v. haba hold that if a non-Jew does a melacha for a Jew on Shabbat or Yom Tov it is forbidden for all Jews. The Baal Hameor Beitzah 13a, Raavad Beitzah 13a, and Ran Beitzah 13b argue that for every melacha if a non-Jew does melacha for a Jew it is only forbidden for that Jew and permitted for everyone else (if there’s no question of muktzeh). Ramban in Milchamot Beitzah 13b disputes the points of the Raavad and defends Rashi. Rabbenu Tam (no. 286) seems to side with the Baal Hameor. Shulchan Aruch 276:1 rules like Rashi. | # If a non-Jew does a melacha for a Jew on Yom Tov such as picking fruit or tapping an animal, no Jew<ref>Rashi Beitzah 25a s.v. chutz and Tosfot Beitzah 25a s.v. haba hold that if a non-Jew does a melacha for a Jew on Shabbat or Yom Tov it is forbidden for all Jews.
