Is Bameh Madlikin omitted on Shabbat Chol HaMoed?
Synopsis
The Rema rules that Bameh Madlikin is not recited on Shabbat Chol HaMoed. The Magen Avraham and Beur HaGra explain this is because latecomers are less common on Chol HaMoed (since no work is done), removing the primary rationale for its recitation in post-Maariv communities.
