- Q. Rabenu Hachasuv Shlit’a. Thanks for your answer on the chupa for the Sefer Torah.
It is me again and we were all wondering, since the spring and summer days are here, if the same principle of opening the above canopy could be used for opening an umbrella tent on top of a table on the outside deck or yard?
A. In principle it should be permitted when already installed and left a Tefach (10 cm.) open, when needed. The same as is commonly done with the covering of a Suka.
Yet some of our Rabbonim were in doubt.
