Summary Beraisa: Only sunshine due to sparse schach disqualifies a sukkah. Sunshine allowed in by the walls do not disqualify the sukkah. Rabbi Yoshiya: Sunshine that enters through the walls also disqualifies a sukkah. Rav Yeimar bar Shlamya quoting Abayye: Rav Yoshiya’s opinion is based on the possuk: “The paroches shall be a schach for the aron”. Although the paroches was a wall perpendicular to the aron, it is referred to as schach. The Chachomim explain that the paroches curved a bit over the aron and that’s why it is called schach. (One of Abayye’s specialties was collating a number of Tannaim who agreed on certain principles, here is an example). Abayye: Rebbi, Rabbi Yoshiya, Rabbi Yehuda, Rabbi Shimon, Rabban Gamliel, Beis Shammai, Rabbi Eliezer and Acheirim all are of the opinion that a sukkah must be a diras keva - a permanent dwelling (they don’t necessarily agree in the particulars of the laws seen below, but they agree in the general principle that a sukkah must be built like a house). Rebbi - Beraisa: Rebbi: A sukkah must be 4x4 amos (2.1). We thus see that a sukkah must be more than a tiny hut. Rabbi Yoshiya - as learned above; a sukkah must have proper walls. Rabbi Yehuda - Mishna: Rabbi Yehuda: A sukkah whose schach is higher than 20 amos, is kosher (1.1; Rava, 1.3). This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
