Seder Moed (, romanized: Sēder Môʿēd, lit. "Order of Appointed Time") is the second of the six orders, or major divisions, of the Mishnah, Tosefta, and the Talmud, and primarily deals with the laws and observances of holidays such as Shabbat, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah and Passover.
== Topics == Moed deals principally with the laws of the Sabbath and the Jewish festivals, establishing the sacred rhythm of the Jewish calendar. It explains and elaborates upon the Torah commandments regarding the prohibitions of labor (Melakha) on holy days, the specific rituals and liturgies assigned to the festivals, and the duties of the individual and the community regarding the Temple service on these dates. These laws are dealt with in twelve tractates, each of which concerns a separate aspect of the general subject for which this Order is named.
