Sukkah 31: Saving the Lulav for the Grandchildren

What if you use stolen land to erect your sukkah? On the claim that at the resh galuta’s home that this took place. Also, the case of a stolen beam – to be incorporated into the sukkah, which seems to have a much more lenient sentence than if it were used on a home. Basically, a plug to repent, at the very least. Namely, the thief returns only the monetary value of the beam, at least during sukkot itself. Also, the dry lulav – which is not kosher for the mitzvah, except for R. Yehudah, who seems not to be concerned about the beauty of the 4 species – surprising though that may be.
