Heating Mikveh for Weak Woman on Yom Tov Sheini

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Meir

Description

Rabbi Meir permits heating a mikveh on the second day of Yom Tov for a delicate woman unable to immerse in cold water. The Chasam Sofer validates this as a legitimate emergency ruling for Yom Tov Sheini, but refuses to endorse it as an ongoing leniency.
