Chol Hamoed Sukkos and Simchas Beis Hasho’eivah

Simchas beis hasho’eivah

The Rebbe strongly encouraged rejoicing through singing and dancing on Sukkos, extending the simchah even to the streets. During Chol Hamoed, this is accompanied by musical instruments.

“Dance until the street itself dances along!” (Toras Menachem 5745 vol. 1, pp. 245, 282–283).

Free time on Chol Hamoed should be used to learn more Torah, and to influence others to do the same.

Over the course of Chol Hamoed, replace (some or all of) the hadassim and aravos, as necessary.

An aravah is possul if most of its leaves have fallen off. If only some of its leaves have fallen off, although it is kosher, it should be replaced if easily possible.
