There are a number of issues upon which Rabbi Eliezer and the rabbis disagree. Is one obligated to eat 14 meals in the sukkah? Can one make up the first meal on Shmini Atzeret (or possibly on all other days of Sukkot) if one missed eating that meal in the sukkah? IF one can make it up, how is that done? Can one move from sukkah to sukkah during the holiday or does one need to eat in the same sukkah? Can one build a sukkah on Chol HaMoed? Can one fulfill one’s obligation in someone else’s sukkah? Can one leave one’s house on the holiday or does one need to stay home and be happy with one’s wife and family as per the verse in the Torah? The gemara looks for the reason for these laws and raises several questions against Rabbi Eliezer.
