Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Lewis Warshauer looks at Masechet Sukkah Daf 8.
The discussion about the validity of a circular sukkah continues, with mathematical calculations about how to achieve a circular area large enough to fulfill the requirement that a sukkah have dimensions of at least four by four cubits. The discussion about the teaching that the sukkah accommodate twenty-four people also continues. A different topic arises: in what ways can the consideration of the validity of a sukkah for the festival of Sukkot be informed by discussing other types of booths (also called sukkot) not built for a purpose other than celebrating the festival. These could include booths used by craftsmen, shepherds, field workers, and others. One consideration is that a booth built in order to provide shade and shelter could also be used as a sukkah for the festival.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
