    Whether it’s right or wrong to take up public property, at least they should move in the chairs when not in use, and let the cars through!

    Are you talking about a drive-thru Sukkah?

    No. I’m writing about those Sukkas erected in front of shuls, forcing men women and children, carriages and strollers, bikes and skates out into the street.

    It’s a bad idea to be matriach the rabim for your mitzvah – it definitely won’t be looked at as all that chashuv in shamayim. Rav Yisrael many times was very meikel in halacha to be machmir in ben adam lachaveiro, for example would use minimum amt of water so the maid wouldn’t have to get more, which back then meant a whole long arduous trip to the well to carry a heavy bucket.

    They could get police barricades to make a enclosed path on the side of the street, like some shuls did.

    Did the shul’s get a permit to block the sidewalks?

    Rebbe Dr., The one I’m referring to put up police barricades, then blocked that too! So we (men & women etc.) have to cross over from in between closely, jam-packed parked cars (due to unavailable space because of..), walk FAR into the path of startled drivers, then continuing on our merry way on terra firma.

    Does one ‘bentch gomel’ once, or for every single crossing? (btw, I’m still B”H alive, as of this posting)

    You’ll have to ask Popa that one.
