Yom Tov Hygiene – The Hot Shower | Showering Enthusiast

by Rabbi Ari N. Enkin:

Not only is every Yom Tov in the Diaspora two days long, but it frequently extends into three days as well when preceded or followed by Shabbat. While two days without a shower may be manageable to some, it is distressing for most people to go three days without showering. Many people refrain from showering over the course of both a two and three day Yom Tov in deference to the majority of classical halachic works which are hesitant to allow showering on Yom Tov, especially in the routine manner.
