Mishnah Berurah, Siman 639 Part 2/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Is the first-night kezayis in the sukkah eaten even in the rain? The Mishnah Berurah adds waiting until chatzos in case the rain stops, and some say only an hour or two.

Key points

• The Gemara learns the first-night kezayis from tes-vav tes-vav, a gezeira shava from Chag HaMatzos.
• The Rosh holds the first kezayis has no ptur of mitztaer, while the Rambam and Tosfos include it.
• The Mishnah Berurah lets someone hungry or exhausted eat the kezayis in the rain without waiting.
• The Rama sees eating inside first as costing a second shehechiyanu, a bracha she'eina tzricha.
• For the second night the Mishnah Berurah has kiddush at home, then a kezayis in the sukkah without leishev basukkah.
