Question
I am really disgusted by sleeping in the sukkah because of sleeping on a mattress and the insects and cats around. Is this considered distress that exempts from the sukkah?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
This is not considered distress that exempts from sitting and sleeping in the sukkah. For two reasons. A. Only distress that troubles most people is considered distress. B. You should build the sukkah in a place and manner that you will not be distressed and can eat and sleep in it without distress.
