we invite you to look at the the
archives I want to thank in advance of a
Chapman and miss Rosenstein for helping
us get everything set up technically
okay so I want to tell you that Rabbi
Frankel that I had somebody a few years
ago he asked me a question he was going
to visit as in was on call America's and
and he was very disturbed because it was
it was a long drive and he would not he
was afraid he would not be able to have
a Sukkah on the way and he was very
ready to stop he said he always sits in
a circle I tried to give him all sorts
of ideas don't don't wash just have you
know things that don't require so good
he wasn't happy with that because he was
very strict about it and he wanted to
have so because I started they give him
some ideas how you could have so cuz
then we're gonna show today some reason
he was very upset that he could not have
a regular circle but really ha logically
if you have a coach you're so good in
the way we're gonna do it there's really
no difference the Mitzvah right you
should have to do right ok so we we have
a number of so because I remember also
years ago I just want to tell you I was
they started making suckers that were
easily assemble you know like click and
this and that I remember saying to my
wife you know they're gonna come up with
somebody says pops up you just pop it up
out of the box right right right
okay I'm with Cassius okay so let's see
we have this is probably the one the
kind of super here on your screen and by
the way if you have something to discuss
with us please chat with us on the
bottom left we'd love to hear from you
if you have a question this is the you
know became very popular the type of pop
up so copy this picture from one of the
sites and all my pictures really are
would like to attribute you want to
where it goes anymore so this is a
pop-up circa a very common for people on
the road so it works I have one actually
it works like do it like there's laundry
baskets that just it's the same same
concept it's like bendable metal rods
with the plastic around them and you pop
it up right so what if what is some
issues though there could be with this
right so so I'm sure it's constructed
well I'm sure that they took these
things into account a person needs a
super which would not blow too much in a
regular wind so it has to have some
stability
if a sucker blows in a regular wind so
that the walls move too far so then that
could put the conscious of the soapy
into question but over here as you can
see in the picture it looks like they
have straps going around the sides so
that so it prevents it from from moving
too far in the winds okay so these are
actually these things you're talking
about oh yeah yes that's a support it's
a support
now it just it's just holding this
hooker so it doesn't collapse I'm gonna
see anything here that is holding down
this okay you would have to put some
stakes like a tent or in the one I have
it has like a rope around it and you can
tie that to a poles like I put the
station Inn near poles regular wins it
wouldn't have said this should be called
the blow away suka because it's not
going to this is not gonna hold as it
isn't it would not actually because she
said but if you tie it down is possible
so that's the main thing you gotta
really be be aware of that you got you
gotta tie it down
now there's another picture here of this
hooker from the inside but this is from
the inside looking up so this is the top
of the circle and they have here if you
can see rods not rods like a bamboo
going across two bamboos gonna crossing
the mat on top of it right so there's a
reason that they did that which is that
person does not want their stuff to be
resting on something which is not his on
something which is the capital which is
not acceptable to start so therefore
they have these wooden poles cross beams
going across and then the mat is resting
on that the mat is resting on material
that itself would be conscious of stuff
and that that takes that takes care of
any mommy's issues that mi casa so then
you don't want to put the mat directly
on the so this is really the challenge
with these two has to be stable enough
that it will stay there in a regular
wind right so we've we talked about that
in other
venues there's something called raffia
RAF I a and you can that's a natural
string that you can get natural natural
string raffia and you can get that and
tied down to the sukkah and then it
won't blow away we actually have had a
webinar last year on all the Scott Mets
and I can give that that link if it's
again applicable now I'm gonna give you
a link right here that's the link for
last year's webinar on this conference
which we're not really gonna go into
right now okay also this book has to be
the big enough right has to be decides
has to be so let's say two feet by two
feet by 40 inches or something it's very
small but this is obviously much bigger
okay then this is there's one I think
that is interesting to people that if
you don't have this you can think about
it's right behind them it's famous card
or asuka and so that's something that
really all you need is a car and and and
this person was driving to his animals
this would have been the solution fan it
could have been so it depends what kind
of car you have so it's a sedan and you
need a sedan or perhaps an SUV a little
challenging but let's take a look at
that so this is what it looks like in
the end something like this okay and the
idea over here is that you have one wall
here on the left this is your car door
that's one wall this car door is the
second wall right you need a minimum of
three walls so where's the third wall
the third wall is the other side of the
car and we allowed to consider that as a
wall and
frankly you can explain what the logic a
logic logic is to be able to consider
that on the side as as a wall and you
want me to bring up the picture with the
so in this picture as you can see you
have let's say when we put stuff across
that open area on the roof so we have
the four walls of the house and we have
the part of the roof that's still intact
which is not kosher for suckers
if the stock which is put over the open
area is within four arms of the walls so
then we look at the wall and that part
of the ceiling which is less than four
hours long which will form an L shape
you have the uprights of the wall and
then the horizontal of the ceiling if
that horizontal line is less than four
hours long then that would connect
illogically the star so the two dark to
the vertical wall and and that words
make the stuff because it's connected to
the woman kosher scuff death call that
dolphin Akuma might be wall so that's a
special holiday we're allowed to use
over here and therefore in going back to
the the corridor sugar so there again we
have the four sides of the car where the
other door is at the back and the
passenger doors we have the bed that
wall and then we have the the actual
roof of the car which again is not
kosher for a scarf but the width of the
car is less than four hours
and therefore we can look at at the bats
for war as being connected to the stock
which is placed over these two open
doors
okay so now yeah now this person put the
chair actually in the right place right
which is where he's gonna sit underneath
only underneath his scarf not it's not
in the car this would not allow you to
eat in the car again the route the roof
above the car is actually part of the
wall and can't eat tons are there but
that's good that's part of the wall and
that forms the third wall and then when
you sit in in between the two open doors
so then you have the front or the back
door and that wall around you that makes
three walls of a starter of it that
small area where the person put that
chair is so you might get some looks at
this but it's okay because okay now
let's take a look at some of the details
over here when I'm pointing out over
here at the space between the bottom of
the car door and the floor has to be
less than 3 mm which is 10 inches I'd
say right so again just like just like
the concept of the phone which you just
mentioned how logically it's considered
connected so so to anything within 3 to
4 mm of the grounds there's another
principle called novels that anything
within three to Ockham on the ground is
considered connected to the ground so
one person needs that the walls of the
sucker reach the ground
so if bottom of the cards are is three
to fartin within three twelve other
grounds it's considered connected to the
ground and that's acceptable right so we
went out we did some pictures over here
to get some some more this one right
here okay so you can see it looks like
there's a lot of distance but you can't
really tell from the picture but what
you can maybe you might be able to do to
lessen that distance if it's more than
10 inches it's put something under there
right underneath the card or something
stable you could attach a piece of
cobble right or something and then or
you can pull up this was our behind
mints idea actually pull up on a curb
and that will lessen the space in
between the
the the two between the bottom of the
card door and the floor right so that
would be that would be acceptable now
there's another issue which is this if
you look at the the cars nowadays are
made at a great angle over here because
the window is at this angle and this
leaves a big space in here where I'm
pointing between the car door and the
car right right
so if you put the staff mat across from
the door onto the roof of the car then
that area there is going to be open
which potentially is a problem so there
are some details of that if we discuss
it behind them right so if the car door
is 10 tall itself then you can
say it wouldn't be but you can easily do
is fill up this space with something
solid right so if the cards or itself
the top of that card or before where the
window starts is 40 inches above the
ground so then you have a wall there
which is the car doors tense
high once the wall is tense Markham hide
that's acceptable and then even if the
wall does not actually reached the stuff
and you have that window area which is
open that's still fine as long as the
one is 10 smoking high if if if the
where the car door the height of the
cars are before with those starts is not
tense buckle it's not 40 inches above
the ground so then you're gonna have to
fill in that area with some cardboards
or something to make up that distance
right there are some details about it if
you're actually going to do this you
want to show it to your to your rub to
make sure that it's it is acceptable but
let's go back there are some points that
are being made there on the chat I see
and they're good points and we want to
bring those up as well one is that the
Scott over here is sitting directly on
the corridors and since the car doors
are Makabe to mom you would first want
to put something else like a cross beams
down going between the car doors and
then put the map
going the other way so that you have a
break secondly the question is being
asked does this stay up in a rock
material in a wind and the answer is you
have to make sure that it does so either
tie it down or maybe use bamboo which is
more solid if you put if you put a
crossbeam underneath it you can also put
heavier crossbeam another heavy cross
beam on top so all day down right you
have you know some some long piece of
woods laid over the top to hold them at
down but you know even if you didn't do
that and this is all that you did it
would be you'll be allowed to make a
brothel in here because I mean so if you
were stuck and seemingly this person is
stuck because he's doing this in the
first place it would be cultured but if
you want to do it ideally you would put
the intervening piece of wood okay I
think that basically covers this this
idea is there anything else about it a
week okay I see there's some discussion
on the chat about the sunroof I guess
[Music]
let's move on to another book
finding out that in the case of the
person was going to visit his illness
it's not clear at all that he Allah he
is obligated to have a stuck there at
all he's he's a person who's traveling
for good reason the rule is that a whole
day to drop in some tea was traveling
does not need to sit in a circle you can
eat outside with suka the general rule
is that a person has to live in their
circle like they live in their house tej
who came to do group and that's why when
it's raining you don't have to stay in
Osaka so just like a person who has a
house occasionally takes trips and eats
outside his house so so if a person is
taking a trip for legitimate needed
reason then
he would not need to sit in a circle so
so if a person is just taking a trip for
entertainment so remotion Weinstein and
egress malucia says that that's not and
needs a trip that's a voluntary tour
trip and therefore a person should not
eat outside the circle on such a trip
but a bus was taking a trip for business
reasons or some trip which he needs to
take and he needs to take it to some
reason at this time he couldn't see
couldn't do it other times this is when
he has his off work this is the time you
can go visit his animals it could well
be that such a person is not obligated
sees in the circuit okay okay Zeb says
you might be better off with a pop up
tied well to the car doors definitely an
idea okay there's another circuit we we
came across let me show you this one
meanwhile pista was asking how about a
simcha in Israel eating on a plane would
that be so again as I think you
mentioned at the beginning to eats
regular means chicken only if a person's
going to wash so Minnesota knows so much
of the meal would not be an issue but
other than that again it depends if he
has a legitimate reason why there's why
he has some and needs to be traveling at
this moment in time then he would be
able to eat not in suka if he could
travel at all the time so it's just he's
just choosing to travel now then it's
not so simple

they attach the pump to the it almost
looks like you can jump on I know that
definitely looks like it will blow away
but they did mention that you filled the
base with water which would be very
important it's a very ingenious keeping
it we don't have any relationship with
them I don't know I have never seen it
in the United States or anywhere it
actually it's I'll enough they even make
it anymore
but the idea was to be able to have a
bucket
it's not weighs 40 kilograms it's like
80 pounds or so so it's heavy right so
as long as it doesn't doesn't blow away
it would be it would be okay it is
worthwhile thinking about the fact that
there is a concept of hazel Mitzvah when
a person buys an Esther if a person
tries to buy and Hester which looks
particularly nice when a person buys a
Louisville person tries to buy one which
is particularly nice by a sucker as well
we try to decorate it parts of the part
of the hit zone mitzvahs that it should
look nice that would be something to
take into account again they're all
kosher but it's worthwhile taking into
account all right it was interesting as
long as it's tabled you know we can't
tell from here whether
what happens in the wind but they said
they did address it by saying they put
water in the base in general even if the
walls move slightly if if they if they
stay within reeds of of the
uprights
so then reverse your feistiness says
that that's fine so a slight just likes
us like moving the wind is going to
happen with any canvas sucker or any
sucker like that that's fine as long as
it doesn't move excessive amounts okay
here's a type of thing that many people
have the 12th seed or the fifteenth
season right so we're going to show you
how you can make us look at it out of
this as well okay so we have the record
we have two doors over here right one
here and one here those are two walls
they're not going to move in the wind
but the space from the floor to the
bottom of this door is way more than 3/4
so you'd need to attach something there
something stable piece of wood something
that would be able to stand then we have
a problem over here that the third wall
is where is all the way at the front of
the car which is more than four hours
we're almost away so we can't use the
other end of the car so we have a little
problem but I want to show you is
somebody to actually did do this and how
they did it
okay here's sitting in this circuit in
the back of the van okay so you can see
on this side they attached some heavy
cardboard and same on this side and and
you can't really see it but what they
did was they told us behind these people
standing they piled up their luggage up
to the ceiling so that's and that's a
that's a wall right it's not gonna move
it's good it's a kosher wall luggage you
need you need around the grounds again
on all three sides then you put some car
I don't want to be sure to reach within
three to four M of the grounds and then
if you do that if your pilot Oh
someone's behind their legs you also
need this
but relevance right right correct that's
a then if you pile up the pilot ball you
know find some way to build something
which is tend to pop in my after grounds
then that'll walk again
they have cross beams over there right
cross beams right and the stuff on the
staff goes on top assuming that the
stock will stay in irregular winds then
then it's fine right so obviously plan
this out in advance and they thought
about how you can do this it's really
incredible maybe onto that right okay
another type of stucco which we didn't
we don't have a picture of once
mentioned to me that you could make also
it's just what they call cherry sticks
so cherry sticks are sticks maybe like
three feet long and one inch wide and
quarter inch thick they're very pliable
so they thin and pliable and not this
one so you can interweave them one to
the other and make up make a wall like a
lattice yeah right then then you have
one wall so then they stick into the
grounds your stick them in the ground or
you or you
well you you make three of these no and
then it's true and then you you have to
have a way of attaching at the ends so
you could rope or something to some wire
to attach them together and then on the
top you just throw more cherry sticks
because Jerry sticks and Koshiba stuff
Jerry sticks are actually what he has
here on top that's what he has here on
top there was another thin thin cherry
stick so then then used a few scars so
you just need one or two bundles of
these maybe 30 40 of them and you throw
them in your trunk and you can have a
mixture soaked I never tried this I
don't know it sounds like a good I'm not
sure if there are any questions let's
see if we can we can
and if you want to chat with us we'll
take a break for a second just to remind
you that if you want to reach us you
call for one zero four eight four four
one one zero or email us at info at
Starrcade org and if you want to be
signed up for the emails to know what
the next month's topic is so send an
email to us and we'll put you on the
list if you didn't get if you somehow
didn't get it this month
okay another Scotty is what's what are
their gather what's the requirements for
would purchase at Home Depot to be
kosher for stock what kind of wood
that's very good questions so single
pieces of sticks like this suddenly fine
they haven't been they haven't been
connected to each other they're just
single pieces which you put on top the
question is they sell fencing which also
has pieces or sticks but the sticks have
why is why I go through them which
connects them to each other sticks
together holds them together so that
already there's a question that they've
been taken from the natural space of a
sticks and in fact being in turned into
a clean to something which is you tile
by be they've been turned into a fence
and generally a clay is considered as
something which is makan soma and
something which again is masala is not
is not acceptable for stuff
so one me now be able to use them for
stuff or can certainly use them for
walls there's a question that things
which are generally attached to the
grounds are not a couple Thomas so it
could well be that if this fencing is
amazed so going to the ground and then
then possibly it's not Makabe soma it
could be the dance conscious or stuff so
that's a that's a question but certainly
four walls it would be fine but what
about the question would be what
would let's say you had a 2x4 which is a
heavy beam we don't use that for Scott
to do those beams you know we take those
we use them as support this stuff we
actually use that for Scott because they
made for building normally right we like
to be used for Scott right they're made
they're made for for building folklore
built houses rights for long term
construction it have to be something
more floozy and pliable and that's less
permanent okay then what's not badly
refrigerator box Soaker which I which
which I put down an email I think so
okay so before I had the popups okay so
I had the refrigerated box okay I came
into this star cast okay as you know as
a listeners must know certifies all
sorts of appliances all things
refrigerators for use on Shabbos an
octave and so on
so I came in one day there was a
refrigerator here and comes in a big box
right with it so we have to be tape
where they send them to us to test
something and and so there was a big box
it wasn't being used and I said well
this could be used for first soaker so
what I did was my theory was like this
to cut off the top right cut off one
side so now I have three sides and I
have a bottle of heavy cardboard okay
now if you put Scott off the top and you
go in so you have you have a Sukkah so
my my problem with it was that it blows
away in the wind so I argued though that
when you're sitting in there it doesn't
blow because you're providing the
stability because you're in it you only
use it when you're in it and since it
has a bottom which is connected to the
sides it's all one piece so it doesn't
blow away in the wind but I had a
different problem with it I never really
got resolved this problem which was that
okay so let's say it stays in the wind
but when it stay in the ring if it was
rain for an hour or two which it doesn't
soak us often right I mean rainy season
here it it would collapse and fall down
so when you say that asuka needs this
smelled it withstand the wind does it
also new devil it withstands normal rain
I couldn't find it anywhere in Halawa
we never gotten resolved it's a very
interesting question there's a half day
we stand all the normal elements are
just the wind maybe the wind is just
because that's what doesn't so there is
such a confidence it does the play not
only with the winds but you know there
it's for sure gonna dry out here maybe
it won't rain you know it's not a given
so Zeb says those boxes won't dissolve
so easily okay how long does it have to
rain to the south it's true I might
refrigerator box occur I'm putting it
out there nothing is good I'm not saying
it's not good it just was an interesting
idea and suddenly possible to go seven
days without it necessarily raining that
much that it would ruin it yes it is
possible but it's also very possible
that it could very good a lot I don't
know why like hurricane season okay now
let's move on to a very unique circuit
this is the luggage carts okay this is
the real circle we didn't set this up
this is a real picture of somebody I'm
guessing it looks like he came from air
to stir all that so it looks like and
he's in the he's trying to see how he
can eat his lunch and so he takes three
cards right - it's one this here on the
right when he's sitting on and there's
one on the left so it provides him with
three walls right one two three
he puts his mat which he must have
brought with him over the top so it's
sitting on something that's Makka become
of the metal but
let's be the evidence culture okay and
he's sitting on the card as you can see
over here it's sitting on the stone on
the middle card so he has to deal with
the fact that there's more than three
tefa gap on the grounds to to the part
of the cards which which can be function
as a wall so what he's done is he's put
his hat box on the cards here on this
side and inside he has write function as
part of the wall and then I assumed that
the bottom of the cart is have been
reached bottom of the grounds so he's
using let's say this bag is part of this
wall okay also I see a space over here
in between the two cards if you can't
tell how wide that spaces as well and
also the question would be do the carts
move easily
like if somebody would bump it where
they'd fall apart and I think the answer
is no nowadays the cards have a locking
feature okay so Michael is asking
where's the third hole okay the third
wall as you can see he's sitting on a
cart do you see this I'm pointing out
there on the bottom he's sitting on a
cart which the back in the back of his
back is a woman it's a presumably and
has another suitcase yes so he has three
cards here one is this this is the wall
and then the back of him that's the idea
there are some technical issues that it
needs to do with but it's very unique
and it is definitely possible to do it
correctly right so so that's really
something you know these carts are not
cheap either Durant like six dollars so
he really wants to do the mid-span
drop its really something else to see
that you doing that okay let's move on
to to another circa which is which is
not
it's a little different idea over here
let's look on to this it's kind of stuck
over here okay this is a super mobile
Babbage truck so what they did over here
[Music]
is a flatbed truck right this is flat so
they put up one wall this way the topic
can't see it and you can really fit a
lot of people in there I mean you know
right so I simply drive it around the
places where people would there's
nothing wrong to have a good that moves
right you can even sit there well it
while it was driving I mean that's it
but you can give additional talks about
this look on top of an animal so right
this is the same as that the question
would be on the arms of itself whether a
person should be going into such a
source of income oh that's fine I assume
that they don't have it open on you to
tell then they have a similar idea
profits and there's no privacy a problem
for the truck right what's not for them
not for the animal yeah it's a problem
down smokes came to these are these are
Mike's hookers so these young men John
round not sure where I guess in the air
they are and it says your cyka has a
ride flagged me down step inside and
shake see you sure they must have a pool
of an ester and you know to provide you
to eat something and to shake you a
little bit necessary in this hookup
again these they have you know like it's
three walls so maybe four walls and they
have a stock and they would need to tie
them down
the proper way but there's nothing
stopping such as super from being kosher
right it's really it's really something
to see see right so they over here even
though the sucker maybe three to pop him
about the grounds but it's not we
talking about the grounds of the circuit
itself because it's gonna be very good
okay
