Description
   Reduced size edition for easy portability. The volume is printed so that the content of each two pages match the content of one in the larger edition. With many commentaries. Tractate Sukkah is the sixth tractate of the order Mo'ed in the Mishnah, Tosefta, and Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds. It deals, in five chapters, with laws relating to the festival of Sukkot (Tabernacles). The festival is sometimes referred to simply as the hag ("the holiday"; Num. 29:12; Neh. 8:14, etc.), and in fact, this name is employed throughout this tractate, indicating that it was considered the most outstanding festival. The observances with which this tractate is primarily concerned are the "dwelling in booths" and the taking of the four species. Two other ceremonies dealt with are the ceremony of the willow branches and the rite of water libation.

The contents of the Mishnah are: chapter one: The making of the sukkah; chapter two continues the subject, and goes on to define the term "dwelling" in the sukkah. The question of exemptions is also touched upon. Chapter three deals with the four species. Chapter four gives further information on the various ceremonies, including the above-mentioned ceremony of the willow branches and the rite of the water libation, and chapter five describes vividly the festivities surrounding the festival of the water drawing. Information is also given about other occasions when the trumpets were sounded, as well as on how the various sacrificial duties were distributed among the priestly divisions and how they shared the sacrificial portions.
