Personal Question - do not publish
Dear Kollel,
Does this below, mean, that on Yom Tov, we do not say, "It's assur on Shabbos, so let's make it assur on Yom Tov?"
Thanks,
Kol Tuv
2) PROHIBITING AN ACT YOM TOV ON ACCOUNT OF SHABBOS
(a) Question: We do not decree [Yom Tov on account of Shabbos]!

The Kollel replies:
Yes. I think you should put it this way:
Some say that if something is Asur mid'Rabanan on Shabbos, we ought to make it Asur on Yom-Tov as well. This will enforce the Shabbos, by preventing a person from allowing it to be done on Shabbos just because it is permitted on Yom Tov. The opinion cited above disagrees.
All the best,
