Working on Hol HaMoed
Question
Hello Rabbi,
In cases where the workplace (a law office dealing with damages and accidents) does not allow employees not to work on Hol HaMoed, is there anything that can be done?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
If you cannot avoid it, then simply speaking this is considered prevention of financial loss, and it is permitted. If you can take vacation days, that is preferable.
