#If a person is eating together with others and for health concerns are eating outside if they want to eat in the Sukkah on Simchat Torah they need to invalidate the Sukkah. They can use a Shlock to cover the Schach if they have that set up. Alternatively, they can ask a non-Jew to remove some schach.<Ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/972499/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-56-simchas-torah/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #56)]</ref> | #If a person is eating together with others and for health concerns are eating outside if they want to eat in the Sukkah on Simchat Torah they need to invalidate the Sukkah.

# If there is an outdoor minyan or a minyan not in an established shul there is a dispute whether they should light Chanuka candles there.<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/980098/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-57-lighting-chanuka-candles-in-shul/ Rav Hershel Schachter (Piskei Corona #57)] wrote that there's no obligation to light for a minyan in a place that it isn't a shul even if they have been davening there for months. [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=132525 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Vayishlach 5781, min 28)] disagreed. He felt that they should light Chanuka candles with a bracha any place that they are davening with a minyan even outdoors.</ref> | |||
