Teshuvot Vehanhagot – today where many people designate potatoes and fish and the like as a
meal, one is obligated to eat them in the sukkah

Yalkut Yosef – even if one designated a meal over fish and the like, one isn’t obligated to eat in the
sukkah

Reciting a beracha

Mishna Berura – our custom (Ashkenazim) is to say a beracha if one decides to eat a mezonot snack
of more than a k’beitza as a small meal, even though it isn’t a size that people would regularly make a
meal of. Ideally one should spend additional time in the sukkah afterwards to satisfy all opinions

Yalkut Yosef – if one eats more than a k’beitza of cake (or any mezonot) but less than the amount
normally consumed at a meal (three or four k’beitzim), although one is obligated to eat in the suk-
kah, one does not recite the beracha of lesheiv basukkah

Travelling during Sukkot

Shulchan Aruch – one who is traveling is exempt from fulfilling the mitzvah of sukkah when unable
to do so

Igrot MosheI/Yechaveh Da’at – the exemption of the Shulchan Aruch applies only to business
trips and those for other important matters. But one is not allowed to go on tiyulim or pleasure trips
if it will cause one to nullify the mitzvah of sukkah

HaRav Aharon Lichtenstein – one is technically permitted to do so, but it is not proper chinuch for
our children
