S2E4: A Sukkah in a Haystack with special guest Ren (Sukkah 1:7-8)

Ren B returns to the pod and we overview the order of Mo’ed and its tractates. Our mishnas for today are Sukkah 1:7-8, continuing the discussion of using boards from your roof as schach, as well as supporting your schach on material that is not itself kosher schach and the possibility of a haystack sukkah. You can find these mishnas on Sefaria here [https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Sukkah.1.7?lang=bi].  I use a lot of Hebrew terms when I'm talking. Check out my glossary here [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P8RB6qXpZ7gXEa5iYVfrANK7fskmU9Em5OaYlu0Yybs/edit?usp=sharing]. Today in particular, we listed a lot of names of tractates. The Sefaria main mishna page [https://www.sefaria.org/texts/Mishnah] should be helpful to figure out which tractate is which. Are you enjoying the podcast?
