Question
My wife is two months postpartum and really needs help with the baby at night, and it's very difficult for her if I sleep in the sukkah, which is outside the house. Am I exempt from sleeping in the sukkah?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If your wife needs assistance, your status is like one who assists the sick, and you are exempt from the sukkah.
