Drawing on Chol HaMoed for Enjoyment
Question
Is it permitted to draw on Chol HaMoed for enjoyment, and not as work? I am accustomed to drawing several pictures a day, and it is difficult for me to refrain from this on Chol HaMoed.
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
It is forbidden to draw on Chol HaMoed, even for enjoyment.
Drawing is considered skilled craftsmanship.
