Rabbi Nosson Nossonbacher Explains Sukkah Construction Rules

By כיכר השבת, הרב נחום נוסבכר
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Nachum Nossonbacher, a prominent figure at the "Sha'ar HaTalmud" yeshiva, offered guidance on the laws of Sukkah construction in a "Minute from the Beit Hora'ah" segment for "Kikar HaShabbat." The segment, based on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried, focused on a specific question regarding the Sukkah's roof covering, known as 'sekhakh.'

Specifically, Rabbi Nossonbacher addressed the practical aspect of how to tie the sekhakh, a crucial element in ensuring the Sukkah adheres to Halakha (Jewish law). The discussion aimed to provide clarity for those preparing their Sukkahs for the upcoming Sukkot holiday.

The article also briefly mentions other unrelated news items, including a reported "historic agreement" between the Gur Hasidic dynasty and the community of Rabbi Shaul Alter, and a meeting between Rabbi Reuven Elbaz and Minister Ben Gvir. However, the primary focus remains on Rabbi Nossonbacher's halachic explanation.
