[Avodah] tachanun/chatan

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah V43n63, RJIR asked, "...why the focus on bet hachatan (like bet
haavel) and not just in his presence? Is there a higher degree of joy there?"
As can be seen from BT Sukah 25b
<https://www.dafyomi.org/index.php?masechta=succah&daf=25b>, it's not just
about the *chasan* -- it's about him and the *kalla* being together under
the *chuppa*; and NB how Tos'fos (*d'ham'* "ein simcha ela b'chuppa")
stress the *chuppa* aspect and how the *g'mara* dismisses *sukka* as
equivalent to being under that *chuppa* (basically because the *chasan*
cannot interact w/ his *kalla* in the same manner should the *simcha* be
moved to a *sukka*).

Gut Chodesh, a gut'n Shabbes, and all the best from
