Question
Should Israelis who are abroad sit in the sukkah on Shemini Atzeret?
Answer
If there is a clear custom in the city to sit in the sukkah, they should do so, thinking that they are not sitting for the mitzvah of sukkah, and also sit a bit privately outside the sukkah. If there is no clear custom, they should eat at home, and in any case, they should sleep at home [even if it is a place where people sleep in the sukkah, they can say they sleep at home because it is cold and causes discomfort].
