Levi asked:
Does a succah need a mezuzah? If not, if a succah opens into a house, does it need a mezuzah as acting like a beis sha'ar to the house?

The Kollel replies:
The Gemara Yoma 10a brings an argument between Rebbi Yehudah and the Chachamim as to whether a Sukah needs a Mezuzah or not. The Gemara concludes that Rebbi Yehudah's opinion is based on the fact that he maintains that a Sukah must be Diras Keva. Since we do not rulelike Rebbi Yehudah as far as Diras Keva, we do not need a Mezuzah on a Sukah.
Apparently, even if it is considered a "Beis Sha'ar," it would have to be a Beis Sha'ar for the entire year in order to need a Mezuzah.
