Question

Is there a prohibition against working or doing crafts at home on Isru Chag?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

There is no prohibition against work or any other crafts on 'Isru Chag'. The only thing mentioned about this day is what the Rema wrote, and it is customary to slightly increase eating and drinking on the day after the festival, which is Isru Chag. Therefore, haircuts, nail cutting, laundry, and all crafts are permitted on Isru Chag.

Rema, Siman 529, Se'if 2.
