Sukkah 1:3 - 1:4

נשר – that the leaves and chips would not on the table. Another explanation: that the leaves would not drop after they dry up and the Sukkah would remain where the sunlight is greater than its shade, And sheets are things that can receive ritual defilement, and is invalid as S’khakh/covering of the festive booth, and specifically because of the droppings from the branches covering the Sukkah, but to beautify it is valid.

או שפירס על גבי הקינוף – that is to say, or even if he did not spread it because of the droppings, but for beauty on his bed on the canopy, which are four poles for the four legs of his bed which are high and he places beams from one to the other on top of them and spreads a sheet over them and distances them from the S’khakh/covering of the festive booth, for now, he does not cover [the Sukkah] with something that can receive ritual defilement, for it is not to fence in there his area.

פסולה – because he is not sitting in the Sukkah as a tent separates between them.

אבל פורס הוא ע"ג מטה שיש לה נקליטין - which are not other than two, and they go out in the middle of the bed, one at its head and one at its feet, and we place from this one to the other [a beam and spread over it a sheet] and because it lacks a roof that is a handbreadth wide from above, it is not called a tent.

הדלה עליה – he lifted on its back.

קיסום – In a foreign language IDRA, and it grows like a grape-vine and like a gourd.

פסולה – because we don’t cover [the Sukkah] with something attached [to the ground].

אם היה הסכוך הרבה מהם – if there was there S’khakh/covering of the festive booth that is much greater than the grape-vines and gourds, it is valid, and it is the case where they press down on them and combine them with the S’khakh it is valid and it is not apparent to the eye, for valid S;khakh is greater than them and cancels them out when they are combined.

או שקצצן – even after he covered the roof with them, it is valid. And it is when he shakes them after cutting the, for if it this were not the case, it would be invalid, for the Torah stated (Deuteronomy 16:13): “You shall hold the Feast of Booths [for seven days], and not from what was done, that is to say, that it shall be done so that it would be appropriate for a Sukkah, and not from what is made which is invalid, for that which is not worthy of a Sukkah and you repair it, that you make it valid with cutting and did not go back and destroy it, but when you shake them, it is like destroying and you go back and cover it again, and raise up each one alone and place it and go back and raise its neighbor and place it [on the roof].

כל דבר שאינו כו' – to exclude a wooden utensil and flax coting and matting, for even though they grow in the ground, we don’t cover the Sukkah with them since they [are receptive] to receiving defilement.

וגידוליו מן הארץ וכו' – as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:13): “[After the ingathering] from your threshing floor and your vat, [you shall hold] the Feast of Booths for seven days,” the verse speaks of the refuse/worthless matter of the granary and the vat, that is to say, from what remains after you have gathered the granary and the vat such as the hard/strong grain and the vine-shoots, from them, make the Sukkah.
