Question
A traveler who is, for example, in Or Akiva and wants to eat pizza, does he need a sukkah?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
When you are in a city that is not your place of residence and are still on the road, it is permissible to eat outside the sukkah. However, if there is an opportunity to eat in a sukkah without too much trouble, you should do so. Therefore, for example, if there is a sukkah at the pizza shop, even if it may not be kosher according to all opinions, you should eat in the sukkah there. Similarly, if there is a synagogue with a sukkah nearby, but you do not need to exert more effort.
If you have settled in that city and are staying there overnight, it is advisable to seek out a sukkah in that city.
If you are staying there for more than half of the festival, it is a complete obligation to make a sukkah in that place.
