Why is it Forbidden to Tie S’chach with Zip Ties?
Question
Dear Rabbi!!! Why is it forbidden to tie with zip ties? I find it very interesting... why not...
Answer
Hello and greetings
It is forbidden to support the s’chach (roofing material of a Sukkah) with something that is not kosher for s’chach.
If the s’chach is stable and will not blow away in the wind even without zip ties, it is permissible to tie the s’chach with zip ties.
Best regards,
Benjamin Shmueli
