#Some poskim permit sitting under a handheld umbrella, even if it is ten [[Tefachim]] high, unlike a more permanent umbrella such as one supported by a table, because it is still considered sitting under the [[schach]]. One should not recite a beracha in this case.<ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichot Shlomo 2:8-20, Shalmei Moed pg. 112), Rav Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadia Sukkot p. 86), She’arim Metzuyanim b’Halachah 135:5, Mikraei Kodesh p. 434-5, and Nefesh Chayah OC 629 all allow sitting in the Sukkah under an umbrella. Rav Chaim Kanievsky (Piskei Shemuot p. 101) holds that it is permissible to do but unnecessary. Rav Elyashiv, quoted in Succat Chayim page 52, however, does not permit sitting in the Sukkah under an umbrella. The Brisker Rav (HaSuccah Hashalem, Miluim 13:4) did in fact do this himself. </ref> This is relevant to chol hamoed, but not for Shabbat or Yom Tov, when an umbrella may not be used.
