The story · English

Rabbi Nachum Nussbacher, a leading figure at the "Sha'ar HaTalmud" yeshiva, provided a halachic explanation regarding the dimensions of the Sukkah for the upcoming Sukkot holiday. The segment, titled "A Minute from the House of Halacha," was broadcast on "Kikar HaShabbat" and is based on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried.

The specific question addressed was how to calculate the required dimensions for a Sukkah, a crucial aspect of the holiday's observance. The explanation aims to guide individuals in properly constructing their Sukkahs according to Jewish law.

This segment is part of a recurring series offering halachic guidance. Previous segments have covered topics such as the laws of Sukkah construction, including what to do if a Sukkah was built without proper support structures ('ma'amid'). The broadcast encourages viewers to watch for detailed instructions.
