===Lights Went Out=== | |||
# If a person's lights went out in their Sukkah or their Sukkah became inhabitable if it is very difficult to go to another person's Sukkah one doesn't have to and one is exempt.<ref>The Rama 640:4 writes that if one's lights went out one doesn't have to eat in someone else's Sukkah if that is very difficult. Mishna Brurah 640:23 elaborates that the reason of it being inconvenient to use another's Sukkah is insufficient to exempt oneself. But if in addition it is very difficult then one is exempt.</ref> | |||
