However regarding a mavuy, the mishna teaches how to remedy the problem instead of declaring it possul.SummaryAnswer 2: In principle the mishna would teach how to remedy Torah laws as well. However remedying all four instances of our mishna would require a lengthy discussion with different terms for each case which would make the mishna difficult to memorize.Since the mishna of mavuy only requires one extra word; the remedy is included.Question: Why is a Sukkah possul when its schach is higher than 20 amos ?Rabbah: The possuk states “Dwell in sukkos so that all your generations should know that I caused the bnei yisroel to live in sukkos when I took them out of Mitzrayim”. (They lived in flimsy dwellings and Hashem was their sukkah, as we say “ufros aleinu sukkas shlomecha”).In order that ‘your generations should know’, they need to be able to see the schach*. The eye only looks up until 20 amos, nobody cricks their neck to look higher than that._________*Tosfos: Challenge: In Mesichta Eruvin Rabbah rules that if schach extends above 20 amos, it is possul even if it is a thick layer and it begins within 20 amos!Resolution: There is a gezeirah there that the schach within 20 amos may gradually fall out and only the possul schach will remain.
