Second Day Yontiff is Stupid
I always thought so, and for damned good reason, and even if you are frum, you probably secretly agree. Anyway, I just want to note that as far as I’m concerned, the best place to celebrate the (so-called) eighth day of Pesach is at Absolute Bagels.

I appreciate the concept, but it really induces depression… it should be decreed to end at noon or something.
Couldnt resist…
I can understand you being willing to take risks on what you do and do not follow when it comes to halacha…but something that may be kareit? brave man, brave man…
Hi, fran.
No. I am not a kareit. They may be cool about 2nd day yom tov, but they are too frum when it comes to shabbos.
not kareit as in the people but kareit as in the punishment (maybe i spelled it wrong) . Literally definition “being cut off”. Not saying you are getting it but i know of all the stuff to disobay the stuff that comes with that i’m a little more weary about.
fran,
There is no punishment of koreis in the Torah for eating bread on the 8th day of Passover, because there is no 8th day of Passover. To add an extra day of Passover would be to transgress the Torah by adding bogus mitzvahs, so if you have questions on this, you should consult with the people who are made this stuff up, pretending we don’t know what Moon day it is.
well at least it made sense when they actually DIDNT know. It wasnt adding on back then, if anything it was perserving what we had. Today is a different point altogether.
My husband agrees with you. He’s already convinced me. And for some reason, Alice’s Restaurant keeps playing in my head- these lines, in particular:
“…And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out.
And friends, they may thinks it’s a movement.”
ps- DK, have you seen this?:

It’s like starting Shabbat earlier and ending it later. Some people are so charismatically high on it religiously that they don’t get it that most people just want to put the matzah away for a bit.
Either that, suitepotato, or they have so much matzah left over and they need another day to eat it.
