Sukkah 2: More Shade Than Sunlight

An introduction to the tractate: Sukkah. Plus, the historical component, as compared to the ritual aspect. Note that the Talmud jumps right in, with the basic principles of what makes a sukkah. Plus, some observations on how sukkah and eruvin compare – recall the alleyway, and a slew of other details. Recall also that eruvin is deRabbanan, where sukkah is de’Orayta. Plus, the 20-amot rule, and how the tractate here presents the arrival at the halakhic details.
