==== The Chasam Sofer's Resolution ====
The Rebbe asks: just as they permitted melachos for food preparation on Yom Tov, they should also permit the prohibition of techumin. He brings the [[Rabbi Moshe Sofer - The Chasam Sofer|Chasam Sofer]]'s resolution that the prohibition of techumin is not included in the category of melacha, but rather is a new and separate prohibition, and therefore the permission of food preparation does not apply to it.

The Rebbe further asks that apparently the prohibition of techumin was stated regarding Shabbos - "Let no man leave his place on the seventh day" - so from where do we know that it exists on Yom Tov as well? The Rebbe explains the Chasam Sofer's reasoning: since this verse was stated regarding the manna, which did not fall on Yom Tov either, necessarily "the seventh day" is not specific.
