Subject: [Avodah] Yom Tov sheini
My thoughts on Joel?s question (42/46) are simple. As the analyses of Yom
Tov sheini get more complex and bring in concepts of minhag, ma?arit ayin,
airports being deserts (pretty nice and accommodating deserts), zilzul Yom
Tov sheini, chutz la-aretz Shabbat minyanim in Yerushalayim for weeks
following some yomim tovim, and more, I think it?s time to go back to first
principles. Everybody used to follow the Torah?s days for Yom Tov until it
became impossible for some, because of their location, to do so. And all
who were in that location on Yom Tov did so (including, by necessity,
residents of Ererz Yisrael who happened to be in that location), and all
who were in Ererz Yisrael observed the Torah?s days only (no chutz la-aretz
korbonot on the say after the seventh day of Pesach I assume.) So if we?re
going to continue the ?minhag? of Yom Tov sheini, let?s do it like it was
originally ? If you?re in Israel for Yom Tov, follow the Torah?s days; if
you?re outside Israel, do Yom Tov she
ini. For everyone.
