Moed Katan 10b:What Qualifies as a Davar Ha’avud on Chol Hamoed?📖 Description:Chol Hamoed presents a unique halachic challenge for business owners. While most melacha is forbidden, the Gemara in Moed Katan 10b makes an exception for cases of davar ha’avud—preventing financial loss. But what exactly is considered a loss? In this episode, we clarify the distinction between actual loss of capital and merely missing out on potential profit (meni’as revach), based on Shulchan Aruch O.C. 539 and the Chazon Ish’s perspective. Through practical examples—like seasonal merchandise or declining market value—we explain when the halacha permits opening a store and when it remains prohibited. A must-listen for anyone involved in commerce over Yom Tov.
