Ben Horne asks:
Dear Rabbi, What in the final conclusion in a situation where a sukkah is under tree and uses the shade of tree as its sechach does not provide enough shade?
Ben Horne, London, England
The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
In the situation to which you refer, the Sukah will always be Pasul.
A Sukah with overhanging branches will be Kasher provided the following three conditions are met-
The S'chach provides more shade than sun.
The branches provide more sun than shade.
One mixes the branches with the S'chach.
Be'Virchas Kol Tuv,
Eliezer Chrysler
