Build My Sukkah or Father’s?
Question
If a man has to choose between building his own sukkah and building his father’s, whose sukkah takes precedence? This is when his father is not strong enough to build one of his own and has no one else to help, and the son only has time and/or energy to build one, and the father and son do not live close enough to be able to share a sukkah during Yom Tov.
Answers
The son should build his own Sukkah and arrange for someone else to build his father’s Sukkah for him. If that is not an option, he should build his father’s Sukkah and find the time and the energy to build his own as well.
