Sukkah 14a to 14b (chazara)

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How do Rav and Shmuel read the machlokes of Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda over boards for schach? Rav puts the machlokes at four tefachim, and Shmuel between three and four, with boards above four passul for all. Going over the Gemara by heart, we see each attempted raya for Shmuel from the Mishnah and the beraisa answered for Rav. Then come the beraisos supporting each side and a board left partly outside the sukkah's open side.

Key points

• For Rav, the Mishnah's end, about not sleeping under a four-tefach board, follows only Rabbi Meir.
• Rabbi Meir's boards joining like sheets fits Rav as joining toward four amos from the side.
• For Rav, Rabbi Yehuda says two boards do not join only because Rabbi Meir used that word.
• A board three tefachim inside the open side and one outside still counts, through pesel hayotzei min hasukkah.
