Study Guide Sukkah 9 Pictures Today's daf is sponsored by Deborah Aschheim (Weiss) in memory of her mother, Edith Bettelheim Aschheim, Pesel bat Kalman, whose 38th Yartzeit is today. "Mommy. You often said that Hitler robbed you of a Jewish education, when you were forced to flee Vienna on the Kindertransport for London. Fortunately, you were reunited with your parents before the war in Bangor, Maine. You always encouraged me and were my closest, unconditional buddy. I still miss you greatly. You laid the foundations for who I am today. You would be so proud of me and Robert, and our children and grandchildren. Can one use a sukkah that was built not for the sake of the holiday of Sukkot? Beit Shamai and Beit Hillel disagree. From where does each find a source in the Torah for their opinion? If one built a sukkah under a tree, it is not a valid sukkah. In which case is there an exception? A sukkah on top of a sukkah - the upper one is valid but the bottom one is not. Rabbi Yehuda says it depends. Rabbi Yirmiah explains that there are four different types of cases regarding a sukkah on top of a sukkah and the law is different in each case.
