Guidelines for Making Early Second Day Yom Tov
Taking in the second day of Yom Tov early at Plag HaMincha accomplishes a number of goals. It allows us to enjoy a much-earlier Yom Tov dinner with our families and young children as well as avoids possible violations of the prohibition of preparing from one day of Yom Tov for the next. If we were to wait until nightfall to bring in the 2nd day of Yom Tov, no preparation for the meal (cooking, setting table, etc.) would be permitted until after 8:16 PM, delaying the meal until well after 8:30 PM. Thus, by following the below method, all meal preparations for the evening meal, including cooking and setting the table, can be done anytime during the day of Wednesday, April 15th. This can only be done the 2nd day of the 2nd days of Pesach as over the first days the 2nd seder requires one to wait until nightfall to begin. That said, this year, each household has the opportunity to decide whether to make ‘early’ Yom Tov or ‘regular’ Yom Tov. (One cannot do both)
As such, if one opts to make ‘early’ Yom Tov, you should on Wednesday:
1. Daven Mincha before 6:08 PM (Plag HaMincha) and daven Maariv after 6:08 (ie. after Plag HaMincha).
2. Light candles only AFTER 6:08 PM (Plag HaMincha) and before reciting Kiddush.
3. Begin the meal without delay shortly after Plag HaMincha (6:08 PM) with the aim of beginning the main course before Shkiya (sunset; 7:32 PM).
4. All food prepared and warmed during the day on Wednesday should be tasted before Shkiya (sunset), 7:32 PM.
5. ALL PREPARATIONS, including setting the table, cooking/heating food and etc., can and should begin during the day
6. Yahrzeit candles should be lit after 8:16 PM.
Conversely, if one opts to make ‘regular’ Yom Tov, you should:
1. Daven Mincha before 7:32 PM (Shkiya) and daven Maariv after or after Teis (8:16 PM).
2. Light candles AFTER 8:08 PM
3. NO PREPARATIONS, including setting the table, cooking/heating food and etc., can begin until 8:16 PM.
