Sukkah, Daf 10

Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Lewis Warshauer looks at Masechet Sukkah Daf 10.

The discussion of the validity of a sukkah built on top of another continues. A new Mishnah raises the issue of a sukkah in which a sheet is spread above or below the roofing, or over a bed that has been placed in the sukkah. The Gemara discusses whether or not such a sheet – or other items–could be considered decorative and not structural, in which case they could be permitted–if the decorations do not compromise the minimum required height of the sukkah. In illustration of this topic, the Gemara cites an episode in which Sages visited a sukkah in which there were hanging decorations.

The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
