WHAT DOES CHOL HAMOED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chol HaMoed

Chol HaMoed (Hebrew: חול המועד‎), a Hebrew phrase meaning "weekdays the festival" (literal translation: "the secular (part of) the occasion"), refers to the intermediate days of Passover and Sukkot. As the name implies, these days mix features of "chol" (weekday or secular) and "moed" (festival). On Passover, Chol HaMoed consists of the second through sixth days of the holiday (third through sixth in the Diaspora). On Sukkot, Chol HaMoed consists of the second through seventh days (third through seventh in the Diaspora). Although it has a unique name, Hoshanah Rabbah, the seventh day of Sukkot, is part of Chol HaMoed. Prayer services that day combine some usual practices of Chol HaMoed with practices of both Yom Tov and the High Holy Days.
