Question

Is it permissible to write words of Torah on Chol Hamoed when it is part of study, a summary of what was learned, etc., and is there a difference between using a computer and a pen? Also, is there a difference in which words of Torah are written?

Answer

Hello,

Writing that aids in understanding the study is permitted. Also, writing to ensure one does not forget what was innovated is allowed.

There is no difference between writing on a computer and regular writing.
