Words of Torah in the Bathroom
Question
Am I allowed to translate a text for my own enjoyment on Hol HaMoed?
Not work that I’m being paid for.
Does it make a difference if it’s an explicitly Torah text?
Is that considered skilled labor?
Answer
Translation itself is not prohibited labor; only the writing is. So there is nothing to discuss here in terms of the category of skilled labor. If this is being done for your own enjoyment, it is permitted, because it serves enjoyment during the festival.
