Is a person fulfilling their obligation to sit in the sukkah if they sit under a bed that is higher than 10 tefachim?
Synopsis
A bed higher than 10 tefachim creates an independent tent structure (ohel) that interposes between the person and the sukkah's schach, thus invalidating the sukkah for that person.
