MISHNAH:

<<one may not

<<take

<<wood

<<from

<<the sukkah,

<<but only

<<from

<<what is adjacent

<<to it,

GEMARA:

<<What is different

<<from

<<the sukkah

<<that not?

<<Because

<<he breaks down

<<a tent;

<<from

<<what is adjacent

<<to it

<<also

<<he breaks down

<<a tent!

Rav Yehuda said in the name of Shmuel:

<<What is

<<“adjacent”?

<<Adjacent

<<to the walls.

<<Rav Menashya

<<said:

<<you may even say

<<where it is not

<<adjacent

<<to the walls;

<<when

<<is taught

<<that,

<<it is with tied bundles.

Taught

<<Rabbi Chiya bar Yosef

<<before

<<Rabbi Yochanan:

<<one may not

<<take

<<wood

<<from

<<the sukkah,

<<but only

<<from

<<what is adjacent

<<to it,

<<and Rabbi Shimon

<<permits.

<<And they agree

<<regarding a sukkah of

<<the festival

<<during the festival

<<that it is prohibited.

<<and if

<<he stipulated

<<about it,

<<all is

<<according to

<<his stipulation.

And Rabbi Shimon

<<permits?

<<But

<<he breaks down

<<a tent!

<<Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak said:

<<Here

<<with a sukkah

<<that has fallen

<<we are dealing,

<<and Rabbi Shimon

<<follows his reasoning,

<<who does not hold of

<<muktzeh.

<<As it is taught:

<<the leftover of

<<the oil

<<in the lamp

<<and in the bowl

<<is prohibited,

<<and Rabbi Shimon

<<permits.

Is it comparable?

<<There

<<a person

<<sits

<<and waits

<<for when

<<will go out

<<his lamp;

<<here,

<<does a person

<<sit

<<and wait

<<for when

<<will fall

<<his sukkah?

Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak said:

<<Here

<<with a sukkah

<<that is unstable

<<we are dealing,

<<that from yesterday

<<his mind was

<<on it.

And they agree

<<regarding a sukkah of

<<the festival

<<during the festival

<<that it is

<<prohibited;

<<and if

<<he stipulated

<<about it,

<<all is

<<according to

<<his stipulation.

<<But does

<<work

<<for it

<<a stipulation?

But didn't Rav Sheshes say

<<in the name of

<<Rabbi Akiva:

<<from where

<<for the wood of

<<a sukkah

<<that they are prohibited

<<all seven [days]?

<<As it is stated:

<<“The festival of

<<Sukkos,

<<seven days

<<to Hashem.”

<<And it is taught:

<<Rabbi Yehuda ben Beseira

<<says:

<<from where

<<that just as

<<takes effect

<<the name of Heaven

<<on

<<the festival offering,

<<so

<<takes effect

<<the name of Heaven

<<on

<<the sukkah?

<<The verse states:

<<“The festival of

<<Sukkos,

<<seven days

<<to Hashem.”

<<just as

<<the festival [offering] is

<<to Hashem,

<<so too

<<the sukkah is

<<to Hashem.

Rav Menashya, son of Rava said:

<<the latter clause —

<<we have come

<<to a sukkah

<<in general;

<<but

<<a sukkah

<<of a mitzva,

<<not

<<does work

<<for it

<<a stipulation.

And a sukkah

<<of a mitzva,

<<not?

<<But isn't it taught:

<<if he roofed it

<<properly

<<and decorated it

<<with embroidered hangings

<<and with sheets

<<that are decorated,

<<and hung

<<in it

<<nuts,

<<almonds,

<<peaches

<<and pomegranates

<<and clusters of

<<grapes,

<<wines,

<<oils

<<and fine flours

<<and wreaths of

<<grain stalks —

<<it is prohibited

<<to make use

<<of them

<<until

<<the conclusion of

<<the last Yom Tov

<<of the festival.

<<And if

<<he stipulated

<<about them,

<<all is

<<according to

<<his stipulation.

Abaye

<<and Rava

<<both say:

<<where he says:

<<I am not

<<separating

<<from them

<<throughout

<<twilight,

<<so that not

<<takes effect

<<sanctity

<<on them.

<<But

<<the wood of

<<a sukkah,

<<on which takes effect

<<sanctity

<<on them,

<<is set aside

<<for seven [days].

And how is it different

<<from this

<<that was stated:

<<if he set aside

<<seven

<<esrogim

<<for the seven

<<days,

<<Rav said:

<<each one —

<<he fulfills [the mitzva]

<<with it

<<and eats it

<<immediately;

<<and Rav Asi

<<said:

<<each one —

<<he fulfills [the mitzva]

<<with it

<<and eats it

<<the next day!

There,

<<since interrupt

<<nights

<<between the days,

<<each and every

<<day

<<is a mitzva

<<in its own right

<<it is.

<<Here,

<<since not

<<interrupt

<<nights

<<between the days,

<<all

<<the days

<<like one

<<day

<<long

<<are.
