Question

Shalom and blessings. I work as a freelance book editor, and our financial situation is dire, with a huge overdraft in the bank and many additional loans. Is it permissible for me to work on regular editing or a Torah project during Chol Hamoed?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is forbidden to work on editing during Chol Hamoed, whether it is regular editing or Torah-related editing.

And by observing the festival according to its laws, may Hashem send you abundance and blessing.
