6085 – Toiling on Toil Translation?

Question

Q. See question above. So what toil is actually permitted in Chol Hamoed?

Answer

A. The general rule is that if the work provides a service needed for the holiday itself, such as running a bakery or driving a taxi etc, or if one provides another service needed for the holiday itself, it is permitted. (See Shulchan Aruch O.H. 533: 1.)
