Anything above the ohel’s covering remains tahor. An ohel is formed when there is a tefach of empty space between the ohel’s ‘covering’ and the corpse. If there is less than a tefach of empty space, the covering creates a ‘tumah retzutzah’; while all objects under the covering remain tahor, anything above the covering contacts tumah.Mishna: If one fills a house with hay or rocks and he does bittul, the house loses its character of ohel (since there is no tefach free of hay or rocks).Suggestion: It seems that without bittul, the house remains an ohel.Beraisa: Rabbi Yosi: If he filled it with hay and his intention is to leave it there; it is as if he filled it with earth ‘stam’, and the house is no longer an ohel. (This is according to Rabbi Yosi, but the Tanna of the mishna always requires bittul).If he filled it with earth, but his intention is to clear it out, it is like hay ‘stam’ and remains an ohel.A sukkah whose schach is higher than 20 amos but parts of the schach twigs hang down below 20 amos; if these twigs provide ‘more shade than sunshine’ (1.1) it is kosher.*️⃣ Otherwise it is possul._______️⃣ *Tosfos : Isn’t it obvious that it’s kosher? It’s kosher schach?! One would think that since the schach is held in place by possul schach, it should be possul. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
