The Laws of Sukkot according to the rulings of Rabbi Obadiah Yosef ZT”L
Where should the sukkah be built?
The sukkah is built under the roof of the sky, and if it is built under the roof of the balcony, etc. - the sukkah is invalid. One must also be careful not to build the sukkah under a tree that is attached to the ground. The sukkah should not be built in a place where there is a bad smell, such as near trash cans on the street.
Is it allowed to place material to use as walls for the sukkah?
The walls of the sukkah should be suitable to withstand a regular common wind. If the wall sways in the wind, even a slight sway, it is not considered a proper partition, and it is invalid for use as a wall for a sukkah. Therefore, sheets that are placed as a wall for a sukkah that is located outside, where there is a wind, this sukkah is invalid, because the sheets move in the wind and all the berachot that one makes in the Sukkah are berachot levatala (blessings in vain).
However, if you make such a sukkah inside a walled courtyard where there is no wind, and you make sure to tie the sheets well in such a way that they will not move even in a regular wind the sukkah is kosher.
