Rabbah: They need to be able to see the schach as it states “your generations should know”.2. Rabbi Zeira: A sukkah must provide shade, as it states “A sukkah by day to shade”.3. Rava: A temporary dwelling is only up until 20 amos. A sukkah must be temporary as it states “You should dwell in the sukkah”.SummaryThe Others did not accept the reasoning of Rabbah: The possuk is referring to the knowledge of future generations, it is not teaching that one must be able to see the schach.The Others did not accept the reasoning of Rabbi Zeira: The possuk is referring to the times of Moshiach, it is not teaching about the schach.Rabbi Zeira: The possuk could have compared the security of Moshiach’s times to the shade of a canopy. By comparing it to a sukkah, we learn an extra law about sukkos.(The challenge posed to Rabbi Zeira was very strong, and that’s why he was compelled to defend himself. The challenge on Rabbah’s logic was not as strong.)The Others did not accept the reasoning of Rava: based on Abayye’s challenge, that a sukkah built with iron walls is kosher.Question: Which of the three reasons accounts for the statement of Rabbi Yoshiya?Rabbi Yoshiya quoting Rav: The Chachomim agree to Rabbi Yehuda (1.1) that a high sukkah is kosher in a case where the walls go all the way up to the schach.Answer: This is in accordance with the explanation of Rabbah. Since the walls reach up to the schach, one’s eyes follow the walls and he will be reminded of the schach.Question: Which of the three reasons accounts for the statement of Rav Huna?Rav Huna quoting Rav: The Chachomim agree to Rabbi Yehuda (1.1) that a high sukkah is kosher in a case where the sukkah’s area is greater than 4x4 amos.Answer: This is in accordance with the explanation of Rabbi Zeira. Since it is wide the shade persists despite the elevation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
