Reply To: Eating in Sukkah on Shemini Atzeres

Many people have the minhag of making kiddush in the sukkah on Shemini Atzeres, just in case it actually is still sukkos (but without the bracha on sukkah, just in case it isn’t). There is a 50-50 chance that Shemini Atzeres is really Hoshana Rabbah. Once we have a Beis Din this won’t be an issue, but at present we’re using a calendar derived from calculations so it might be off a day.
