Question
What should I do at work, where I have no Sukka? Must I skip lunch?
Answer
One may eat in another’s Sukka (with permission), so first try and find a synagogue or kosher restaurant in your area. They may have a Sukka available for public use. If there is no Sukka available, try and only eat those foods that don’t require a Sukka anyway, such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, and drinks. Authorities dispute the permissibility of consuming a meal of meat, fish, or cheese outside of a Sukka (see Mishna Berura 639:15) but if you’re just snacking they are permitted. Any flour based food must be eaten in a Sukka, unless it is a very small amount, such as a single cracker or cookie.
