Editing Mesechtas Sukkah (section)

===The Law of the Sukkah if from the Perspective of the Sechach===
The Law of the Sukkah if from the Perspective of the Sechach Its Shade is Greater than Its Sun, but from the Perspective of the Shade - the Opposite:
In defining the mitzvah of sukkah, the Alter Rebbe emphasizes that the sukkah is "for shade" as mentioned above, intending to hint that the main definition of the sukkah is not that for the person there must not be a situation of "more sun than shade," but rather the requirement that the sechach should be made "for shade," "more shade than sun."

In this innovation, there is a practical legal difference: If the sechach above has more shade than sun, but the sukkah below has more sun than shade "because the sunlight entering through the open spaces in the sechach, when it reaches the floor of the sukkah, spreads out more than it is above in the open spaces of the sechach," so that above there is "complete sechach," but below there is the invalidation of more sun than shade.

In such a case, it would seemingly be reasonable to say that since there is an invalidation in the sukkah, what does it help that there is "complete sechach" above? But based on the above - that the main definition of the sukkah is that the sechach should be made "for shade," one could say that if above there is "complete sechach," we do not consider what happens below at the floor of the sukkah: Only when above they are equal and there is no "complete sechach," then the sukkah is invalid when below there is more sun than shade, but if above there is "complete sechach," it doesn't matter to us that below there isn't more shade than sun, since the main definition of the sukkah is that the sukkah is "made for shade."
