The qorban minchah had to be eaten in the northern half of the azarah.<br>

What was done on Sukkos? Are the qorbanos outide of "ke'ein taduru"? Did<br>
they build a sukkah in the azarah?</blockquote></div><br>The Rema writes (OCh 640:4) that a sukkah that is built in a place where it is impossible for him to do all of his needs (eating, drinking, and sleeping) because of fear of bandits is not a valid sukkah because it's not k'ein dirah. It seems to me that a sukkah built in the azarah, where one would not be able to sleep (or sit, for that matter), would similarly be pasul because it would not be k'ein dirah.<br>
<br>The gemara in Arachin 3b expresses a hava amina that kohanim should be entirely peturim from sukkah because their inability to live with their wives during the chag (due to their need to be tehorim to enter the mikdash) precludes any sort of k'ein taduru, before concluding based on a beraissa that this p'tur only exists when they are doing the avodah, not when they are not doing avodah (akin to the p'tur of a traveller). This distinction implies the need for an explicit p'tur to allow the kohanim to leave a sukkah in order to do avodah, which could either serve to significantly broaden the scope of your interlocutor's question or to present an explicit p'tur for kohanim eating kodshei kodoshim to do so outside of a sukkah.<br>
