Beitzah 30: Succah Afterthoughts

Our Daf teaches that we cannot take wood from a sukkah on any Festival because this is 'dismantling'. We are permitted to take wood from near the sukka. The Gemara wonders how a sukka differs from a tent, where we are not permitted to use the wood - or even bundles - placed near a tent. The rabbis question whether we might be speaking of a sukka that is not sturdy; they wonder whether we are in fact discussing items that are muktze, set aside.

We return to Succah thoughts as we leave the Succah tomorrow.
