A sukkah must provide shade, and one is only shaded by the sukkah up until 20 amos, higher than that one is shaded by the walls.Abayye to Rabbi Zeira: When one builds a sukkah in a narrow canyon (or between two tall buildings) it will also be shaded by the canyon walls and not by the schach?Rabbi Zeira: There, the schach casts a shadow, only that the walls also provide shade. However if the schach is higher than twenty amos, it does not cast a shadow (the higher an object is, the smaller its shade becomes).Rava: The possuk states “You should dwell in the sukkah for seven days”, it means for seven days we must leave our houses and live in temporary dwellings. (There’s a very important teaching here that we have no secure homes, only Hashem is our home. See more here).A temporary dwelling is only up until 20 amos, higher than that one must make sturdier walls.Abayye to Rava: When one builds a sukkah of iron walls, it is kosher?Rava: Up until 20 amos, the dimensions permit for a temporary dwelling. More than that one is forced to make sturdy walls. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
