<div dir="ltr"><div>There was an interesting exchange between Rav Moshe Permutter (of Lodz) and Rav <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">Sholom Mordechai Schwadron (of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">Berezhany) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">concerning a succa under a zeppelin (blimp). Rav Perlmutter raises both the case of a zeppelin hovering over an already constructed succa (where he raises the issue of "chavut rami" (succa 22a)), as well as the case of a succa constructed under a hovering zeppelin (where he raises the possibility that the succa remains invalid even after the zeppelin moves away). The exchange, written in 5669 (1909) can be found in resp. no. 30 of Avnei Shoham by Rav Perlmutter, which can be found at HebrewBooks at the link: </span><a href="http://www.hebrewbooks.org/189">http://www.hebrewbooks.org/189</a>. The bottom line by Rav <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">Schwadron is that there is no cause for concern, primarily because the zeppelin is merely hovering. However, if the blimp was tethered, like the ones used by the Israeli army for collecting intelligence, it seems there might be a problem.</span></div>
