If you arent obligated in sukkah in the rain, why should it make a difference if you dont usually use one? || If your authority rules that tefillin need not or ought not be worn on hol hamoed, why is it relevant that you often dont. halakha is halakha. | Would you say that halakha permits food but makes an exception for kosher food, but if I dont normally keep kosher, then I am not allowed to rely on the heter to eat food? The reasoning behind this question is inscrutable. | |

| Dec 8, 2011 at 4:16 | comment | added | YDK | IMHO, Seth, I think the question is on the flip side. Of course I can eat my sandwich inside on a rainy day just like the guy who builds a Sukkah. The question is: Does that show that when I bring a non-chiyuv item to work on a sunny day that I am trying to circumvent the halacha. Now you can judge whether you are cheating or there are extenuating circumstances (it's impractical, it's against the codes...) or if it isn't cheating at all. | |
| Dec 7, 2011 at 14:14 | comment | added | Seth J | And @msh210 I'm asking more than whether I can rely on the rain. I want to know if I can rely on the rain to the extent that, although yesterday I only ate "snack" food at work, today it will be pouring all day, so I want to pack myself a "real" lunch, sandwich, whatever. | |
| Dec 7, 2011 at 14:08 | comment | added | Seth J | OK, let's say someone doesn't have a strong family Minhag, and is particularly lazy - and he no longer lives with his parents or in their community. His new Shul, which he attends infrequently during the week, has no set policy on Tefillin. He randomly decides on Sunday of Ḥol HaMo'ed he wants to go to Shul, but he feels lazy and doesn't want to wear Tefillin. Can he rely on the Minhag that he doesn't generally follow anyway? Perhaps this doesn't fit the rest of the question - if not, I can amend the question. | |

| Dec 7, 2011 at 6:55 | comment | added | msh210♦ | While your suka example makes sense to me — you're asking whether you may rely on the rain and eat out of the suka — I don't understand the t'filin example: are you asking whether you may rely on your family's custom and skip wearing t'filin? What's the alternative? — that you'd go against your family's custom and wear t'filin? That seems unlikely. | |

Edited to reduce the emphasis of the example(s) and make the question applicable in more cases, and for clarification.

| Oct 19, 2011 at 18:59 | comment | added | Seth J | Most people I know assume as much and bring "snack food" with them rather than "meal food" for lunch if they work in a building or a neighborhood without a Sukkah. I have been operating under the same assumption my entire life. | |
