Ask the Rabbi
- Shabbat and Holidays
- Yom Tov
- Second Day of Yom Tov
Question
we celebrate pesach for 8 days, why does Ha Shem command us to celebrate for 7 days, are we not adding or changing His Laws?
Answer
Chaza"l (Our sages) instructed us to keep a second day and therefore it is not regarded as adding to Hashem's laws.
