Sneak peek at my sukkah
Here's a sneak peek of my sukkah. Photo taken from my mirpeset (balcony). It's just about ready. The Chazon Ish wouldn't like it because there's metal in it, but it meets the rest of the opinions' expectations. Lavud straps around the sides so no need to rely on the flimsy flappy tarps for dubious walls, schach is nice and thick enough, and resting on wooden beams, not resting on the metal bars.

Left to do: Put down the carpet, put in the electricity, and bring in the furniture. These, I'll do this afternoon. After dinner tonight, after collapsing the table, I'll also bring in the bed.

Ah, sleeping under the stars. Gotta love it.

Sukkot are supposed to remind us of the Clouds of Glory which God put over us to protect us in the desert. I doubt they had metal bars and plastic tarps, though. Well, halakhah is halakhah.
