The day after Pessach, Sukkoth and Shavuoth is called Isru Chag.
Today (Sunday) is Isru Chag in Israel and tomorrow (Monday) is Isru Chag everywhere else.
On Isru Chag the custom is to eat a larger meal than usual.
Nobody - not even a bride and groom on their wedding day, nor a Yahrzeit - may fast on Isru Chag.
Some communities don't say Lamenatze'ach (before Uvo L'zion in Shacharis) on Isru Chag.
