SUKAH 36 (4 Elul 5781) - Dedicated l'Iluy Nishmas Chaim Yisachar (ben Yaakov) Smulewitz of Cleveland on his Yahrzeit, by his son in law, Jeri & Eli Turkel of Raanana, Israel.

SUMMARY

1. The Gemara discusses various types of holes that invalidate an Esrog even when none of the Esrog is missing.
 
2. The Gemara discusses colors that invalidate an Esrog.
 
3. There is a dispute about whether a young, unripe Esrog is valid.
 

 
4. There is a similar dispute about whether the laws of Orlah apply to young Esrogim.
 
5. There is a dispute about whether a very large Esrog is valid.

A BIT MORE

1. If an Esrog has even a very small hole that penetrates the entire Esrog (and it grew naturally somehow), it is invalid. If a peg was pressed into an Esrog making a hole the size of an Isar (a coin), it is invalid.
 
2. For example, a black or white Esrog is invalid.
 
3. Chachamim: It is invalid. Rebbi Akiva: It is valid.
 
4. Chachamim: The laws of Orlah apply to young Esrogim. Rebbi Shimon: They do not apply. The Gemara explains that these disputes (#3, #4) are not related to each other; Rebbi Shimon might agree with the Chachamim regarding the use of the Esrog for Arba'as ha'Minim, and Rebbi Akiva might agree with the Chachamim regarding Orlah.
 
5. It was related that Rebbi Akiva once came into the synagogue with a very large Esrog hanging from his shoulder. Rebbi Yehudah claimed that the sages told him that such an Esrog does not fulfill the requirement of "Hadar."
