Las mujeres, los esclavos y los menores están exentos de la (mitzvá de) succah, [está escrito (Levítico 23:42): "Todo ciudadano en Israel se sentará en succh" —para excluir a las mujeres que, a pesar de estar obligadas a comer matzá la primera noche de Pesaj, no están obligadas a (la mitzvá de) succah la primera noche del festival.] Un menor que no necesita a su madre está obligado en (la mitzvá de) succah. [Si se despierta de su sueño y no grita "Madre, Madre", se lo considera como "no necesita a su madre", y la mitzvá lo ata; de lo contrario, está exento. Esta es la halajá. Y este es el caso solo si él sigue llamando a su madre y no se detiene hasta que ella venga. Pero si llama una vez y luego se detiene, no se lo considera como "necesitando a su madre".] Una vez, cuando la nuera de Shammai, la anciana, dio a luz, ahuecó parte del techo y colocó a Schach sobre la cama. nombre del niño.
Tosefta Chagigah
A minor that no longer needs [the help of] his mother is liable in [building a] sukkah. A minor that needs his mother may go out by means of his mother's eiruv (Ket. 65b:9), and if he does not need his mother, they make an eiruv of two meals for the joining of the Shabbat boundaries. [If] he knows how to shake, he is liable in [the commandment of shaking the] lulav. [If] he knows how to dress himself, he is liable in [the commandment of donning] tzitzit. [If] he knows how to talk, his father teaches him the Shema and the Torah and the holy tongue, and if not, it would have been preferable for him not to come into this world. [If] he knows how to take care of tefillin, his father buys him tefillin. How so? We examine him, we immerse him, and we give him chullin [which he is told] to treat as terumah. [If] he knows how to take care of his body, we may eat foods that have touched his body. [If he is a Kohen and] he knows how to spread his hands [in the manner of the priestly blessing], we give him a portion [of the terumah] from the threshing floor. [If] he possesses the intelligence to be questioned about a case involving doubt, in the private domain [the ruling is] "impure," and in the public domain [the ruling is] "pure" (see Sifrei Bamidbar 8). [If] he knows how to slaughter, his slaughter is valid. [If] he can eat an olive's worth of grain, we remove ourselves four amot from his excrement and urine. [If] he can eat an olive's worth of meat, we slaughter on his behalf the Passover offering. Rabbi Yehuda says, we never slaughter the Passover offering on his behalf unless he knows how to distinguish food. They said to him, what is meant by "distinguish food"? [He said to them,] anyone to whom we give an egg and he keeps it, [and we we give him] a stone and he throws it.
