For the Ilui
Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai
ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Rav Ovadia’s Halacha Emails
(Halachayomit.co.il):
1. It is a Mitzvat Ashe (positive) from the Torah to eat Kazayit Pat (27 grmas of bread) in 5
minutes in the Sukkah on the first night of Sukkot (tonight). If one eats the
bread in 7 minutes they have fulfilled the obligation as well but on a bediavad level (minimum fulfillment).
Hachamim (our Sages) teach from the Pasuk regarding Sukkot that one must make
his/her Sukkah like their home and if they are suffering/unsatisfied with the
Sukkah conditions they do not have to eat in the Sukkah, even if it falls on the
first night where its an obligation from the Torah to eat in the Sukkah!
Therefore, if its raining, the light turned off in the Sukkah, there are harsh
winds, there are mosquitoes and bugs or anything of the like (ask your Rabbi)
then one is exempt from sitting in the Sukkah. However, if one wants to be
stringent and sit even in the rain in their Sukkah, they can sit but they are
forbidden to say the Beracha (blessing) of sitting in the Sukkah (found in
Mahzorim).
2. During all the days of Sukkot (except of Shabbat) we
shake the Lulav (tied with Hadasim and Aravot) in our right hand and Etrog in
our left in 7 directions and say the Beracha beforehand: Asher Kideshanu BeMitzvotav VeTzivanu Al Netilat Lulav. On the
first day (tomorrow morning) we say the Beracha of Shehecheyanu as well. After
Hallel the kehila (congregation) takes out a Sefer Torah and the Hazzan holds
it in the center of Shul symbolizing an angel and the entire kehila dances
around him to remember the days in the Bet HaMikdash, when Am Yisrael used to
dance around the mizbeah (alter in
the Bet HaMikdash) during Sukkot.
