A Gap Between the Walls
Question
There is a small gap of a few centimeters between the walls of the sukkah. Is this problematic from a halachic standpoint?
Answer
Greetings and blessings
A sukkah that has only 3 walls, and two of them are halachically valid, must have 2 walls that are connected at an angle [- areivan]; with these walls, this is a problem. The walls of the “areivan” must be flush with one another.
In a sukkah that is properly constructed according to halacha with complete walls, a connection through “lavud” is also effective.
