Day #57–Rambam DAILY Sefer HaMitzvos

day number 57 of our daily study of ramam Safar Mitzvahs and in the three chapters today of mission of today we are still in the halachas that we started yesterday we started remember we finished the laws of comet umatsa and then we began the Laws of schaiefer Success we did the first two chapters so today we have chapters three four and five and those laws so today correspondingly we have one Mitzvah just one Mitzvah today positive commandment number 168 you shall dwell in Circus booths huts Shacks temporary structures you know what I'm talking about there is a Mitzvah a positive biblical commandment to dwell in these temporary uh little uh structures for seven days it is a Commandment that for the seven days the seven biblical days of circus and I say seven biblical days because it's funny at the end of sukis where we would uh normally be finished with so because we actually go smack dab into a new yamtif called schminiaceres which is its which is a yamt of unto itself we mentioned that when we learned the laws of sris unto itself so then the whole question becomes what's the status of sitting in a sukkah on that day um because really there's not a myth for the sit in a circle is to sit in the sukkah for the seven days of circus so there's a it's a it's an interesting discussion for another time how we deal with it but the Practical simple practical answer is that we continue to dwell in the sukkah OR at least I'll say minigabad is that we continue to dwell in the sukkah and exactly the same ways that we do for the first seven days of circus proper but we don't make a bracha we don't make a bracha because the Mitzvah the biblical commandment is seven days to dwell in the sukkah and by and large that means by eating and that's why uh when we eat and by eating I don't mean a snack I mean an actual meal when we sit down for a meal in a sukkah so we not only make the blessing on the hamitsi or the messiness that we're about to eat but we also make a mitzvah he who commanded us to dwell in the sukkah and that's positive commandment 168 we will see you God willing tomorrow
