Yerushalmi Sukkah 2:5 ירושלמי סוכה ב׳:ה׳

MISHNAH: If one makes his sukkah between trees it is qualified⁴⁶One may use the tree trunks as walls of the sukkah but the roofing must lie on a frame supported by separate poles, not on the trees.. Agents for meritorious deeds⁴⁷However, it is forbidden to leave one’s family on a holiday even for religious reasons, Tosephta 2:1. are not liable in matters of sukkah. Sick persons and their caregivers are not liable in matters of sukkah. One eats and drinks casually outside the sukkah.

HALAKHAH: Rav⁴⁸Read “Rebbi”. Ḥuna went to Eintab for the indication⁴⁹The indication is the proclamation of the New Moon, held at Eintab (Ḥammat Gader) when the Academies were in Galilee.. While coming he became thirsty but did not accept tasting anything before he went to the sukkah of Rebbi Joḥanan the scribe of Gufta⁵⁰While he was going to fulfill a religious obligation, and drinking water falls under the exemption of casual consumption, he did not want to take advantage of either dispensation. Since the text is formulated in Galilean Aramaic, it is a popular tradition about holy men and not practice to be obligatory..

Rebbi Mana said, not only persons dangerously sick⁵¹The sick persons referred to in the Mishnah. Babli 26a. but even sick persons not dangerously sick. It was stated:⁵²Tosephta 2:2, Babli 26a. “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, it happened that my eye was hurting in Caesarea and the great Rebbi Yose⁵³He seems to by R. Yose ben Ḥalafta. permitted me and all my caregivers to sleep outside the sukkah.” Rebbi Abba bar Zavda said, the best men at a wedding and all participants in the wedding are not liable for sukkah⁵⁴Disputed in the Halakhah and the Babli, 26a..

It was stated:⁵⁵Tosephta 2:3. “Daytime watchmen of a city are not liable for the sukkah during daytime but are liable during nighttime. Nighttime watchmen of a city are not liable for the sukkah during nighttime but are liable during daytime. Watchmen during day and night are not liable for sukkah day and night.” This you are saying, about watchmen about troops⁵⁶Gangs of robbers. Regular police who watch against nonviolent thieves are not freed.. But watchmen about money they treated like watchmen of gardens and orchards.

Eudaimon the salt-dealer slept in front of his store. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba passed by and told him, go and sleep in your sukkah. Rebbi Mana was best man for Rebbi Jacob bar Yafliti. He went and asked Rebbi Yose, who told him, go and sleep in your sukkah. Rebbi Isaac bar Marion was best man for somebody. He asked Rebbi Eleazar who told him, go and sleep in your sukkah⁵⁴Disputed in the Halakhah and the Babli, 26a..

⁵⁷Tosephta 2:1.“It happened that Rebbi Ilai went to Rebbi Eliezer in Lydda. He said to him, are you not one of those who rest on the holiday? Did they not say that it is not praiseworthy for a scholar to abandon his house⁵⁸His wife. on the holiday and go somewhere else.” As the following: Rebbi Ze`ira went to a circumcision of Rebbi Ila<sup>59</sup>The circumcision of a son of R. Ilai. and did not accept any food. If it was because he never ate anything before the end of musaf prayers<sup>60</sup>This remark is the source of the common usage that a circumcision on a holiday is performed after the Torah reading but before the musaf prayers. Then R. Ze`ira went home and ate with his wife. The Babli Berakhot28b rejects the rule not to eat before musaf., or we do not know whether it was because it is not praiseworthy for a scholar to abandon his house on the holiday [and go somewhere else; this]⁶¹Corrector’s addition, problematic since R. Ze`ira did not leave town and therefore could not be said to have “gone somewhere else.” we do not know.

Rebbi Eleazar said, eating may be casual, sleep cannot be casual⁶³On Tabernacles, even a short nap has to be done in the sukkah.. The colleagues say, because a person is enveloped in his sleep⁶⁴Once a person sleeps he lost control over the length of his sleep.. Rebbi Ila said, because a person may sleep a little and it is enough. What is the difference between them? If he let another person control his sleep. In the opinion of the (rabbis) [colleagues]⁶⁵The texts of the (scribe) and the [corrector] mean the same. it is permitted, in Rebbi Ila’s opinion forbidden⁶⁶Even if another person is charged with waking the sleeper after a short time, it may have been enough for the whole day..
