Beitzah 012: Carrying on Yom Tov
YSCHULMAN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
why do we permit carrying on yomtov? how does carrying in any way
fall into the category of "mitoch" if one never needs to carry in
order to eat (he can always walk to the reshus that the food is in)?
it certainly should be "efshar laasos mibiod yom"?

The Kollel replies:
Dear YSCHULMAN,
Hello there and thanks for your excellent question.
The answer is that there are different categories. The Shulchan Aruch
OC 495:1 separates the Melachos of Hotza'ah and Hav'arah from all
other Melachos. The issue you raise is addressed directly by the
Rambam (Hilchos Yom Tov 1:4-6). He asks why is it not forbidden to do
Hotza'ah, as it is surely something that could have been done the day
before. He explains that this is to enable a person to enhance
Simchas Yom Tov by being able to transfer all necessary items and not
feel that his hands are tied. The Rambam concludes that with regard
to other Melachos, since they require an effort, they are forbidden
if it was possible to do them before Yom Tov. The Ra'avad's (ibid.)
explanation is that by delivering the items on Yom Tov, one is
actually showing respect for the day, something which does not happen
if it is being done before Yom Tov.
Kol Tuv,
Y. Landy
