Question
In our neighborhood, a Simchat Beit HaShoeva celebration is planned for Chol HaMoed, and many people are expected to attend. I want to take this opportunity to sell drinks to the attendees to make some money. Is this allowed? [I want to note that I am a young man, and I don't really need the money, I just want to earn].
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Selling food and drinks on Chol HaMoed is permitted for the needs of the festival. Since there is a need for those coming to celebrate, you are allowed to sell to them.
