<html><P><I thought of a similar case were according to most poskim a chutz learetz Jew<BR>can ask an Israeli Jew to fo melachah on the second day of yomtov but he<BR>cant ask a goy.<BR><BR>Nevertheless it seems strange that a goy doing benefit on shabbat is more chamur<BR>in some cases than a chiloni doing work.></P>
<P> I put this question to R. Michel Feinstein z"l in 1954. My s'vara was that the prohibition of a goy to do m'lacha for a Jew is an issur on the Jew for whom it is done; the goy, after all, has no issurei Yom Tov. For another Jew, however, the issur is not a consequence of the requester's issur m'lacha, but because he himself has an issur m;lacha. Hence, on the second day, the Israeli has no issur of his own, and we don't invent a new g'zeira of amira l'Yisrael.</P>
<P> He said that his father-in-law, the Brisker Rov, made that very distinction, and permitted asking an israeli to do m'lacha for a ben chutz la'aretz.</P>
