many people can drink from the cup according to the number תויעיבר ןינמכ םדא ינב ךכ לכ ונממ ןיתוש
of measures of revi’it in it. And some say that one has to drink ,סוכה בור תותשל ךירצש םירמוא שיו .ובש
the majority of the cup even if it contains many measures of a .תויעיבר המכ קיזחמ וליפא
revi’it in it.

The Mishna Berura rules that it is permissible to drink only the majority of a revi’it (i.e., a cheek-full). However,
lechatchila (ideally) one should drink the entire cup or at least the majority of the cup. Therefore, he suggests
that one should not use cups that are much larger than a revi’it. That way, one can still drink the entire cup or
the majority and fulfill one’s obligation according to all opinions.

a Mishna Berura 472:33 גל:בעת | הרורב הנשמ . 10
The majority of the cup – Although in general it is sufficient to בורב יד אמלעבש ףא – ’וכו ’יפא סוכה בור
have a majority of a revi’it, even from a large cup; here regarding תוסוכ ןינעל אכה לודג סוכמ וליפא תיעיבר
the four cups it is more stringent, as the majority of the cup is ואל םאו סוכ בור אקוד ןניעבד יפט רימח
required, and if he has not [drunk that amount] he hasn’t fulfilled .הנושארה העדכ ל”ייק אנידלו .אצי אל
his obligation. However, practically the halacha is in accordance אל הברה תותשל ותעדב ןיא םא מ”מו
with the first opinion. Nevertheless, if one does not plan on ידכ תיעיבר קיזחמש סוכ קר לודג סוכ חקי
drinking a lot, one shouldn’t take a large cup, but a smaller cup
that holds a revi’it in order to take this opinion into consideration. :וז העדל שוחל

Regarding the manner of drinking, the Rema writes that “one needs to drink without a large break in
between.”
The Mishna Berura writes that lechatchila one should drink the entire amount at once, but if that is difficult,
one should be stringent to at least drink it within the amount of time necessary to drink a revi’it (which is two
gulps one after the other – Shaar Hatziyun 11). Bedieved (after the fact), if he drank the amount within the
time of achilat pras (the amount of time necessary to eat half a loaf of bread – four minutes according to the
stringent opinions), he has fulfilled his obligation.

a Mishna Berura 472:34 דל:בעת | הרורב הנשמ . 11

Without a large break – Meaning that must not delay the amount ההשי אלש ונייהד – לודג קספהב אלש
of time of achilat pras while drinking the majority of the cup. If one סרפ תליכא ידכמ רתוי סוכה בור תייתשב
did delay for more than this amount of time, the initial drinking ףרטצמ ןיא הז רועישמ רתוי ההש םאו
is not combined with the latter drinking, and one hasn’t fulfilled אל דבעידב וליפאו הפוסל היתשה תלחת
one’s obligation even post facto, and one needs to repeat drinking תוסוכב וליפא תותשלו רוזחל ךירצו אצי
even regarding the latter cups [the third and fourth]. And there is לע ףיסומ םושמ ןאכ ןיאד[ תונורחא
no problem of adding additional cups, since according to all, one
hasn’t fulfilled one’s obligation. ]אצי אל ע”וכלד ןויכ תוסוכה
Lechatchila one should be careful when drinking the majority תייתשב תוהשל אלש רהזיל שי הלחתכלו
of the cup not to delay more than the time it takes to drink תיעיבר תייתש ידכמ רתוי סוכה בור
themajority of a revi’it. This is in order to take into consideration ןמיסב ראובמה הנושאר העדל שוחל
