Sleeping in the Sukkah
Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi, if I build a sukkah in the building’s public parking area (that’s the only place I have where I can build a sukkah, and it’s a place that anyone can get to), am I obligated to sleep there, or is that considered enough discomfort to exempt me from sleeping there? Thank you very much, and may you be sealed for a good year.
Answer
I don’t see why this would be considered discomfort. You’re sleeping in the sukkah, so what if people can get there?
