Hello Everyone, Today we will start a new suggyah which discusses various aspect of the mitzvah of Sukkah. The Mishnah tells two stories. The first is the debate between the followers of Shannai and Hillel concerning the eating in a small sukkah. The second story is about Shammai the Elder who altered the roof of his house so that his infant grandson would be inside a kosher sukkah. Why Shammai took the trouble to do this is a very good question which I hope to discuss.
