First Day of Sukkos

The Mitzvah of V’Samechta B’Chagecha requires one to celebrate Yom Tov with his family. As such, one should not overly prolong the time he spends at any communal Kiddush or Farbrengen.

It is preferable to avoid starting a full meal once the tenth Halachic hour of the day begins (4:22pm), in order to properly enjoy the Yom Tov meal of the second night.

One may not perform any preparations on the first day for the second night and day of Yom Tov. Similarly, the Eruv Tavshilin does not allow one to prepare for Shabbos on Thursday.
