Chol HaMoed

Chol HaMoed (Hebrew: חול המועד‎), a Hebrew phrase meaning "weekdays [of] the festival" (literal translation: "the secular [non-holy] (part of) the occasion" or "application 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).
