Sukkot walls
« on: September 18, 2013, 03:20:31 PM »
Hi, the minimum is 2 1/2 walls correct? The third 1/2 how much should it be minimum?

 Also should the height be minimum 3 or 10 Tefahim?

I found this

The Dimensions and Other Requirements

The Walls:

A sukkah must have at least two full walls plus part of a third wall (the “part” needs to be a minimum of 3.2 inches wide). It is preferable, however, that the sukkah have four complete walls.

The walls must be at least 32 inches high, and the entire structure may not be taller than 30 feet. In length and breadth, a sukkah cannot be smaller than 22.4 inches by 22.4 inches. There is no size limit in how large—in length and width—a sukkah may be.

Are you going to build one Tag?
Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the horn, and the people be not warned, and the sword do come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

Has anyone ever tried the 'pop-up sukkah'? My Rabbi suggested I get one this year but I will wait till next year. This year I am going to a friends sukkah..
