Note 37 — II. OUR DUTIES. (continued 2)

As regards Holy-days, there is the general rule that work (‏מלאכה‎) prohibited on Sabbath must not be done on Holy-days: “Save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you” (Exod. xii. 16); that is to say, it is allowed on Festivals to cook, to bake, or to prepare food in any other way.37 Of course, for the Festival that happens to fall on a Sabbath, the laws of Sabbath remain in force. The Day of Atonement is in this respect equal to Sabbath.
