Chol Hamoed Shavuos (Ep.324)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Mrs. Boy and Jew was the head of the English department in Magen David, and uh when I went to speak there. So I I referenced some obscure book, and she was like, "You read that?" I was like, "I I I How did you get through that?" I two pages at a time in the bathroom. Anyway, Suri and Chaim Boy and Jew are delighted to dedicate a podcast in honor of our children, Rabbi Ari and Grace Boy and Jew, Rabbi Shalom Yaakov and Chaim Boy and Jew, and Yigal and Erica Susportas, in recognition of their middos tovvos and their love for Am Yisrael. May they continue to bring up their children and grandchildren the same middos. Rabbi Orlofsky have been a role model and inspiration for all the Boy and Jews and Susportases for over 20 years. May you continue may chayal chayal do it. It's so beautiful. Thank you so much. Um I want this week to uh talk about something that in fact was one of the question and answers that was submitted. And uh I think this deserves a little more attention. The question is, why is Shavuos only one day, or two days in chutz la'aretz, unlike the other two of the sholosh regalim that have chol hamoed, and then more yom tov? Why can't we have chol hamoed Shavuos? It's so interesting. It is interesting. So uh let's first of all, you're probably familiar with this, and that is after Shavuos we don't say tachnun for another six days, because those are the yemei tashlumin. Since you have only one day to bring your korbanos
