A: Maharil, MaHara M'Pano, Sefer Agada - Just like there are Techum issues in this world, there are also Techum issues above, and it is inappropiate to greet the Shechina out of the Techum. The Radbaz says that this is a weak reason not to do Kiddush Levana on these nights. B: MaHara M'Pano - Since Kovod Shabbos and Kedushas Yom Tov are more than greeting the Levana, we do not mix two Simchos. C: Minhagei Maharil - Birchas HaLevana is like a Techina, which we do not say on Yom Tov. D: Sdei Chemed - You may come to carry the Siddur into Reshus HaRabim on Shabbos. E: Rashba - It is a Taam Sod. |
