Publishing Halachic Responses During Chol HaMoed
Question
I work for the website sheilot.com. My role is to translate the responses of the esteemed Rabbis into other languages and publish them on the site. Am I allowed to work also during Chol HaMoed (for payment)? Thank you and happy holiday!
Answer
Shalom and a joyous holiday!
It is permitted to publish words of Torah, from which people will learn during the holiday.
I assume that the responses you will publish on the site during Chol HaMoed will greatly benefit many people who are seeking Halachic guidance.
