Yom Tov Sheni (safek Rishon)

[hatam_soferet]

Everyone has a challah cover that says “Shabbat v’Yom Tov,” don’t they? It’s a compulsory wedding gift, I believe. But not many people have one like this. Bwahahaa, geekery.

I might post a pattern at some point, if anyone wants it.

That is *amazing*.

Now, see, that's Judaica I can get behind! (Also a good way to figure out early in the meal if people share my sense of humor.)

[batdina]

that is dynamite. (I'm all for a pattern, but I'm kind of greedy that way.)

[hatam_soferet]

Yay. D'you need a full-size pattern, or can you scale up?

[batdina]

if it's not too complicated, I can scale up. Thank you!

Alas, my vocabulary isn't good enough for this one. I get the specialized second-day-of-yomtov first line, but what does safek mean?

[hatam_soferet]

Well, we have the second day of yomtov originally because of the possibility that it's actually the real yomtov, right? So "safek rishon" means "maybe first," in allusion to that, "safek" being a rabbinic term for "possibly."
