Title: No Succah – no Tiyul?
Author: Chaim Simons Date: Oct 27 2011

Reply

Although people often utilise Chol Hamoed to go on tiyulim, this could be a potential problem on Succos if there will be no succah on the route. Does the exemption that travellers have from dwelling in the succah also apply to those going on a mere tiyul. Rav Moshe Feinstein writes that such people are not exempt from the mitzvah of succah. (Igros Moshe, Orach Chaim, volume 3, responsum 93) Although there are other poskim who disagree, they add that it is not proper to go on a tiyul when there will not be a succah on the route. (Sefer Hasuccah by Rav Eliahu Weissfish, page 433)
