As our minds turn to preparing for the final days of Yom Tov and Shabbos that follows, those who live in Israel should keep in mind that as Friday is not a holiday for them, and they can therefore cook for Shabbos on Friday, they may not do any preparations for Shabbos during Chol HaMoed, and certainly not on Yom Tov. If, for some reason, it will be impossible to prepare on Friday (e.g. the stores will be out of food, or one is making a Bar Mitzvah on Shabbos and there is simply too much to do) then one may prepare on Chol HaMoed for Shabbos.For those who are not in Israel it is permitted to make Shabbos preparations during Chol HaMoed and, with the use of an Eruv Tavshilin, on Yom Yov as well. There is no preference to cook for Shabbos on Simchas Torah which is a rabbinic Yom Tov rather than on Shemini Atzeres which is from the Torah.
