10. The Sukkah furniture-Table in Sukkah:[1]
One may not eat in a Sukkah with the table outside the Sukkah. This applies even if the Sukkah is very large. One who does so is considered as if he ate outside the Sukkah.[2]
|
Q&A May part of the table be inside the house?[3] Some Poskim[4] rule that if at least a Tefach of the table is inside the Sukkah then it is valid. Other Poskim[5], however, require that majority of the table be inside the Sukkah.
May one position the table under invalid Sechach that is within the Sukkah?[6] One is not to do so, although if the Sechach is only Rabbinically invalid then one fulfills his obligation Bedieved. |
