[Avodah] : LeiSheiv

[D&E-H Bannett]

Re: RMGR's <<custom to only make the Beracha when eating, we 
ought to make LeiSheiv as soon as we enter to have our 
meal.>>

R' Meir's posting reminded me of my neighbor z"l, a Teimani 
of the old school, who whenever visiting my sukkah would 
start Borukh of leisheiv basukka as he was going through the 
door. Nothing to do with eating. It is about residing even 
temporarily in a sukka.

And that reminds me of an aberration I've seen. Someone who 
made kiddush while standing, sat down to make leisheiv 
basukka and then stood again for shehecheyanu.

Leisheiv in the b'rakha has nothing to do with sitting but 
with residing.

"Vayeishev Ya'akov b'eretz  m'gurei aviv, b'eretz Canaan." 
Does anyone think he accomplished that while sitting only.
