I found out about a workshop a few days before yom tov. As there will be a mix of a variety of attendees attending, I asked my Rav a shaila about whether I could attend. He said we should speak after Pesach. The early bird rate is $795, and it expires tonight. After that, the rate goes up to $995. After registering I will have 10 days to decide whether or not I would like to attend, IY”H giving me time to speak with the Rav before that time and after Pesach. Can I register tonight, even though it’s Chol Hamoed, since there’s a $200 difference inregistration cost?
Answer:
You can register now, this is fine. Although it is worthy to limit one’s dealings on Chol HaMo’ed, it is permitted to purchase (and to “register”) where there is a need.
Best wishes.
