Chachomim: Although one cannot use his fellow’s lulav on the first day of Yom Tov, he may sit in another’s sukkah as it states “All citizens of Yisroel should dwell in a sukkah” which indicates that one sukkah is enough for all Yisroel (although it is impossible for all of klal Yisroel to have a perutah’s share in just one sukkah*). Question: How do the Chachomim explain the possuk “Make ‘yourselves’ sukkos”? Resolution: It means (7.3) that one cannot fulfill the mitzvah of sukkah by sitting in a stolen sukkah (if you know that he doesn’t want you using his sukkah. The rule is that in general a person doesn’t mind if you use his property for a mitzvah). Question: How does Rabbi Eliezer explain the possuk “All citizens of Yisroel should dwell in a sukkah”? Response: Although one cannot be in a sukkah for part of Yom Tov, a ger or a bar mitzvah who could only be in a sukkah for part of Yom Tov are included by this verse. The Chachomim do not need a possuk to teach this lesson, since they hold that one can sit in a sukkah for part of Yom Tov. Beraisa: Rabbi Ilai went to see his rebbi, Rabbi Eliezer, in Lod. Rabbi Eliezer said to him “You don’t observe Yom Tov?” because Rabbi Eliezer would say “I praise the lazy ones who don’t leave their homes on Yom Tov, as it states ‘You should rejoice with your family’.” (This applies even to Pesach). Challenge: Rabbi Yitzchok: The obligation to visit one’s Rebbi on Yom Tov stems from the possuk said by the Shunamis’ husband “Why are you going today? It is neither Rosh Chodesh (which was a yom tov in those day) nor Shabbos”. So we see that visiting a rebbi on Yom Tov is a mitzvah? Resolution: Rabbi Yitzchok is referring to a case where he can go and return on the same day while Rabbi Eliezer objects to one leaving home and lodging elsewhere.
