NO Business is YOUR Business

[10b bottom] Rava: Any amount of merchandising is prohibited on Chol Hamoed. R’ Yose bar Avin: However, in cases of incurring financial losses, sales would be permitted.

T’s Lesson: Many times we get so caught up in our day to day lives with work and business dealings that we lose sight of what is really important. We should take a step back and enjoy the Holiday while allow ourselves to truly appreciate what the day is all about (and especially on the intermediate Chol Hamoed days). We should not trouble ourselves to worry about business or money and have trust in Hashem, that He will take care of us if we take care of His holy mitzvos and holidays.
