Description

Excerpted from the website description:

A sukkah is a temporary dwelling that Jews use during the holiday of Sukkot.

Structure

Sukkot on apartment balconies in Jerusalem. Apartment buildings in Israel are often designed so that sukkot may be built under the open sky. Sukkot on apartment balconies in Jerusalem. Apartment buildings in Israel are often designed so that sukkot may be built under the open sky.

According to Halakha, a sukkah is a structure consisting of a roof made of organic material which has been disconnected from the ground (the s'chach). A sukkah must have at least 2-1/2 walls. It should be at least three feet tall, and be positioned so that all or part of its roof is open to the sky (only the part which is under the sky is kosher.) A sukkah can be built on the ground or on an open porch or balcony. Indeed, many observant Jews who design their home's porch or deck will do so in a fashion that aligns with their sukkah building needs. Portable sukkahs have recently become available for those who have little space, or for those who are travelling (in order to have a place to eat one's meals).

In practice, the walls of a sukkah can be constructed from anything ranging from wood to canvas to aluminium. The walls may also be part of a house or fence. The specific details of what constitutes a wall, how short/tall a wall can be, whether there can be spaces between the walls and the roof, and the exact material required for the s'chach (roofing) can be found in various exegetical texts.'
