Mishnah Berurah, Siman 639 Part 1/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

On the first night the Rama, wanting to be machmir like the Rosh, holds the first kezayis has no ptur of mitztaer, while many Rishonim disagree. For that first night, the Mishnah Berurah has no leishev basukkah said in the rain, and has one wait until chatzos hoping the rain passes. More detail is left for the coming days.

Key points

• Like rain, the Mishnah Berurah counts heat, insects and spoiling food as reasons to leave.
• Once eating has begun inside, the Mishnah Berurah does not require going back out until the meal ends.
• The Rosh carries the Gemara's gezeira shava from matzah, so the first kezayis has no ptur of mitztaer.
• The Mechaber and many Rishonim disagree, holding the ptur of mitztaer applies on the first night too.
