  • Building a Sukkah the Judaism Site
    Torah.org Building a Sukkah The Judaism Site https://torah.org/sukkot/building-a-sukkah/ BUILDING A SUKKAH by Rabbi Yaakov Menken Building a Sukkah Building and living in a “Sukkah” is the observance that gives Sukkos its name, so it’s perhaps superfluous to call it one of the “highlights” of this holiday. And yet many people don’t know how to build one. It’s really kind of simple, especially if you want to go online and buy a prefabricated one – or are handy and have a Home Depot nearby. All you need are three walls – the fourth is optional – and natural vegetation, called s’chach, for the roof. Here’s the basics of what you need to know: 1. Location, Location, Location Your sukkah needs to be under the sky, without overhanging trees or rooftops. If your house has a small awning, even up to a few feet of overhang, you can still use the side of your house as one of the required walls, but you can’t sit under the awning-covered section. This is where you consult a rabbi when it gets complicated! Ideally, find a place under open sky. Common pitfall: Avoid overhanging branches! 2. The Walls The walls don’t actually need to reach all the way up to the roof of the sukkah. They need to begin near the ground – technically, three hands-breadths, which the Talmud informs us is close enough to the ground that a goat won’t be able to crawl in. So you need to ensure your sukkah is free of wandering goats.

  • A Sukkah of Peace: a Global Justice Journey
    l Ju ce: A Globa stice Journ f Pea ey ah o ukk A S What is Sukkot? Sukkot is a 7-day holiday named for the huts (Sukkot in Hebrew) in which the Israelites dwelled during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after escaping from slavery in Egypt. To commemorate this time, Jews build a temporary outdoor structure (a Sukkah) where they sleep, eat, and relax for the duration of the holiday. Sukkot also celebrates the end of the harvest season, when farmers traditionally express gratitude for their bounty and mark the beginning of the rainy season and the next crop cycle in Israel. About this Resource Sukkot is full of themes of global justice and responsibility – from peace to food security, from gratitude to vulnerability. This resource features daily themed coloring pages that bring a global justice perspective to your Sukkot celebration. These coloring pages can be used whether you are sitting in your home or in a Sukkah, alone or with family and friends online. How to Use this Resource Download the pages and print them in any size Color the content, either digitally or by hand, and share your coloring creations on social media, tagging @OLAMTogether, @RepairTheWorld and @JDCEntwine, and using #HereFor Keep the pages in black and white - if you’re uber cool (or just lazy) Hang the pages in your home, on your fridge, or in your Sukkah Invite people to your Sukkah (socially distant, of course) or online to engage in conversation Commit to fulfilling at least two of the action items, either on your own or by mobilizing others’ involvement The current pandemic has forced us to reimagine our routines, create new ways of connecting, and produce meaning in our lives.

  • <I>Sukkah</I> on <I>Shemini Atzeret
    The sukkah on Shemini Atzeret controversy The sukkah on Shemini Atzeret controversy by William Gewirtz Introduction: Arguments about eating in the sukkah on Shemini Atzeret outside of Israel have a long and somewhat baffling history.[1] While not the only example of practice in opposition to the Shulchan Aruch, it appears to be among the most argued. The gemara, Rambam, the Tur and the Shulchan Aruch, written in many locales, all seem to be as unambiguous as possible in requiring one to eat in the sukkah. The Gaon, incensed by the spreading Chassidic custom to eat outside the sukkah, perhaps lemigdar miltah, went so far as to mandate sleeping in the sukkah on the night of shemini atzeret, in opposition to the Maharil, the Magen Avraham and normative custom. Despite consensus among all major decisors to require eating in the sukkah, an undercurrent of opposition has existed from at least the times of the early rishonim. Support for that opposition has been based on a number of apparently legitimate points. However, despite some early and consistent opposition, despite the logic and halakhic rationale of those who did not sit in the sukkah, and despite the problematic nature of the gemara (as explained below), I hope to explain the basis for the concluding and declarative statement in the gemara: “we sit but do not make a berakha.” In fact, the assumption, explicitly found[2] as far back as the times of the rishonim, that the declarative ruling was interpolated at a later point, is fundamental to explain both sides of the controversy.

In 1870 it was reprinted without any alteration.

  • Alyth Sukkah Building Guide
    The Alyth @ Home Guide to Building Your Sukkah! As we cannot come together as a community in the Alyth sukkah this year, we have put together this guide to building your own sukkah at home. Where do I build my sukkah? The sukkah is a dwelling outside the home, often translated as a booth, or hut. It should be easy to get to from your home so it could be built in a porch, garden, balcony or even on a rooftop. The Walls The walls of the sukkah may be made of any material, but must be sturdy enough to withstand an ordinary wind (Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chayim 630: 10) Your sukkah must have at least 3 walls. The structure can be totally free standing or you can use existing walls of your home or a shed as part of it. The frame can be wood, metal, or any sturdy material and the walls themselves can be anything too. Popular choices are wood, tent fabric, or tarps. Many people decorate the walls with foliage and pictures. One of the more surreal suggestions comes from Sukkah 23a, in which Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagreed over whether you can use an animal for one wall. Rabbi Yehuda deemed an elephant fit for use as a wall but like Rabbi Meir, we don't recommend this. The Roof The roof should be made from s'chach - matter that has grown from the ground but has been detached from its original roots. So branches that are still attached to a tree would not count as being part of the roof.
