Rabbi Advises Modesty in Sukkah, Especially for Women
Rabbi Benjamin Houta, a prominent halachic authority, has issued guidance on appropriate attire within the Sukkah, emphasizing modesty. In his daily "Halacha in 60 Seconds" segment on the news site Kikar HaShabbat, Rabbi Houta explained that the commandment to dwell in the Sukkah implies living in it as one would in their home.
He clarified that while removing a shirt is permissible, leaving arms exposed, changing trousers should be done discreetly, preferably under a blanket. For women, he stressed the need for greater modesty, advising them to change clothing entirely under a blanket to maintain appropriate attire within the Sukkah.
The segment, which provides brief and relevant halachic rulings and customs, aims to educate the public on Jewish law and practice. Rabbi Houta's teachings are delivered daily to a wide audience interested in practical applications of Jewish tradition.
