# The pious are careful to build to begin building the Sukkah on Motzei Yom Kippur and finish it the next day in order to go from one mitzvah (Yom Kippur) to another (Sukkot). <ref>Rama 624:5, Mishan brurah 624:19 </ref> | # The pious are careful to build to begin building the Sukkah on Motzei [[Yom Kippur]] and finish it the next day in order to go from one mitzvah ([[Yom Kippur]]) to another (Sukkot). <ref>Rama 624:5, Mishan brurah 624:19 </ref> | ||
# If a Sukkah was set up with the S'chach from before 30 days before sukkot and it wasn't made for the purpose of the mitzvah of Sukkot one must change or improve one thing (such as putting down S'chach) of an area a Tefah by a Tefach or the whole width even if it's of minimal length (or visa versa). However, if it was made within 30 days of Sukkot or was made for the express purpose of Sukkot it's fit even without any change. However, if the Sukkah was originally built for Sukkot and stands unchanged year to year it requires some change the each year. This is only if the S'chach was put in advance but if just the walls were putup in advance and not the S'chach there's no issue. <reF>S"A 636:1, Mishan Brurah 636:1, 5-7. Mishna Brurah 636:4 also points out that this is only the preferable course of action (but after the fact isn't absolutely necessary). </ref> | # If a Sukkah was set up with the S'chach from before 30 days before sukkot and it wasn't made for the purpose of the mitzvah of Sukkot one must change or improve one thing (such as putting down S'chach) of an area a Tefah by a Tefach or the whole width even if it's of minimal length (or visa versa).
