Question

I live in Petah Tikva, I have 4 small children, and my sukkah is in the building's yard. My wife is very concerned about staying at home alone due to the security situation and the possibility that there might be an alarm at night, and she would have to go out alone with all the children. Is there a permission not to sleep in the sukkah in such a situation, and is it appropriate not to sleep in the sukkah in such a situation? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello Rabbi 

There is no permission.

If indeed there is an alarm, go up to the house to be with her.
