Schach Folded in Two Layers
Question
I have a schach mat that is too large for the sukkah. Can I place the mat and fold it over the sukkah?
Answer
If the schach does not reach a thickness where the stars cannot be seen, it is permissible to fold it. It is sufficient that in part of the schach, the stars can be seen.
