Tosefta Sukkah
Those out on a religious mission are exempt from [the mitzvah of living in] the sukkah, however it is said: "It is no praise for a man to leave his house during the festival." There is a story of Rabbi Ilai, that he went to visit Rabbi Elieser in Lud. He said to him, What does this mean, Ilai? Are you not one of those who rest on the festival? Is it not said, It is no praise for man to leave his house during the festival since it is said, And thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy house?
