Question
Last year, after the Sukkot holiday, my wife gave birth, so I closed the retractable roof over the schach and did not remove it. In fact, the schach has remained like this until now. Do I need to remove the schach and put it back?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
You need to renew the schach over an area of one tefach by one tefach (10 by 10 cm), meaning you should add schach of this size where it is missing, or remove such an amount from the schach and place it back for the purpose of the sukkah.
