The definition of dwelling:[1]
The Sages stated that the mitzvah of Sukkah is to make one’s Sukkah his permanent residence and his house temporary for the duration of the festival.[2] This means one must eat, drink, read, learn, socialize, and simply spend time of relaxation [i.e. “Yitayel”] within the Sukkah throughout all seven days both by night and day. If one needs to have a conversation with a friend he is to do so in the Sukkah. The general rule is a person should act as if his Sukkah is his house, and anything that one would not do outside his house he should not do outside the Sukkah.What is one to do in the Sukkah?
- Eat
- Drink
- Sleep
- Learning
- Davening
