Question
Working on a computer during Chol Hamoed. Because I am not studying Torah anyway and just wasting time on idle things.
Answer
Hello,
There is no permission to work during Chol Hamoed except under certain conditions, which I understand do not apply in your case.
Alleviating boredom does not permit work, and you should find permissible activities.
P.S. Reading light holy books, or stories from the words of Chazal, and even stories of righteous people, are very light activities and fulfill the mitzvah of Torah study.
