Prohibition of Writing a Get on Yom Tov Sheni

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Unknown recipient

Description

A dying childless man's community sought to write a get on the second day of Shavuos to prevent his wife from being bound to levirate marriage. The Chasam Sofer emphatically upholds the prohibition, affirming that Yom Tov Sheni's sanctity cannot be overridden for writing a get.
