## Sukkah Daf 8b

###### Sukkah 8b:1
[Sukkah 8b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/8b:1)

רִיבּוּעָא דְּנָפֵיק מִגּוֹ עִיגּוּלָא — פַּלְגָא. וְלָא הִיא, דְּהָא קָחָזֵינַן דְּלָא הָוֵי כּוּלֵּי הַאי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
while the perimeter of **a square circumscribed by a circle** is smaller than the circumference of that circle by **half,** i.e., if one adds half the perimeter of the square to the perimeter of the square, that is equal to the circumference of its circumscribing circle. Therefore, a circle with a circumference of twenty-four cubits would circumscribe a square with a perimeter of sixteen cubits, as prescribed by Rabbi Yoḥanan. The Gemara notes: **And** that **is not** the case, **as we see that** the circumference of the circumscribing circle **is not that much.** The actual circumference is closer to seventeen cubits.


###### Sukkah 8b:2
[Sukkah 8b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/8b:2)

אָמַר רַבִּי לֵוִי מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי מֵאִיר: שְׁתֵּי סוּכּוֹת שֶׁל יוֹצְרִים זוֹ לִפְנִים מִזּוֹ — הַפְּנִימִית אֵינָהּ סוּכָּה, וְחַיֶּיבֶת בִּמְזוּזָה. וְהַחִיצוֹנָה סוּכָּה, וּפְטוּרָה מִן הַמְּזוּזָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Rabbi Levi said in the name of Rabbi Meir:** With regard to **two craftsmen’s booths, one within the other,** as potters would build two booths, an inner one used as living quarters and an outer one for plying their craft and selling their wares, **the inner one is not** fit for fulfillment of the mitzva of ***sukka*,** since the potter resides there year-round and it is not evident during the Festival that he is residing there for the sake of the mitzva of *sukka*. **And** since it a permanent residence, **it is** also **obligated in** the mitzva of ***mezuza*. And the outer** booth **is** fit for fulfillment of the mitzva of ***sukka*,** since he does not reside there year-round, and when he resides there during the Festival it is evident that he is doing so for the sake of the mitzva. Since it is not designated as a year-round residence, but rather serves as an entrance to his residence and a passage for merchants and merchandise, it is not considered a residence **and is not obligated in** the mitzva of ***mezuza*.**


###### Sukkah 8b:3
[Sukkah 8b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/8b:3)

וְאַמַּאי? תִּהְוֵי חִיצוֹנָה כְּבֵית שַׁעַר הַפְּנִימִית, וְתִתְחַיֵּיב בִּמְזוּזָה! מִשּׁוּם דְּלָא קְבִיעַ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Why** is the outer booth exempt from the mitzva of *mezuza*? **Let the outer** booth **be** considered **like a gatehouse of the inner** booth **and** therefore **be obligated in** the mitzva of ***mezuza*.** The Gemara answers: It is exempt **because** even the inner booth **is not** a **permanent** residence. It requires a *mezuza* because the potter resides there year-round; however, that alone does not render it a full-fledged residence that would obligate one to affix a *mezuza* to the outer booth as its gatehouse.

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: גַּנְבַּ״‎ךְ: סוּכַּת גּוֹיִם, סוּכַּת נָשִׁים, סוּכַּת בְּהֵמָה, סוּכַּת כּוּתִים סוּכָּה מִכׇּל מָקוֹם — כְּשֵׁרָה, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁתְּהֵא מְסוּכֶּכֶת כְּהִלְכָתָהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Sages taught:** The booths represented by the mnemonic: ***Gimmel*, *nun*, *beit*, *kaf*,** which stands for **a booth of gentiles [*goyim*], a booth of women [*nashim*], a booth of domesticated animals [*behema*], a booth of Samaritans [*Kutim*], a booth of any sort,** each is **fit** for use as a *sukka*, **provided it is roofed in the standard sense.** None of them is disqualified due to the one who constructed it or the purpose for which it was constructed.

The Gemara asks: **What** is the meaning of the term: **In the standard sense? Rav Ḥisda said** that it means: **And** provided **that one established** the booth **to** provide **shade of a *sukka*** from its roofing, it may be used to fulfill the mitzva of *sukka*.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What does** the phrase: A booth **of any sort,** come **to include?** What other booths are included in this generalization? The Gemara answers: It **comes to include** the **booths** listed in another *baraita* with the mnemonic: ***Reish*, *kuf*, *beit*, *shin*, as the Sages taught: The booth** known by the mnemonic ***reish*, *kuf*, *beit*, *shin*,** which stands for **the booth of shepherds [*ro’im*], the booth of fig driers [*kayyatzim*], the booth of guards of fields [*burganin*], the booth of the guards of produce [*shomerei peirot*], a booth of any sort,** each is **fit, provided it is roofed in the standard sense.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains: **This *tanna* who** taught and detailed the *halakhot* of booths **of *gimmel*, *nun*, *beit*, *kaf*** did so because the fitness of the booths of ***gimmel*, *nun*, *beit*, *kaf*** for use in fulfilling the mitzva of *sukka* is **powerful** and more obvious **to him because they are permanent** structures, even though their builders are not obligated in the mitzva. **And he taught:** Booths of **any sort, to include** the booths of ***reish*, *kuf*, *beit*, *shin*, which,** although they **are** seasonal and **not permanent** structures, may still be used to fulfill the mitzva of *sukka*.
