2) [line 18] MENORAH SHEL CHULIYOS - a lamp that is made of segments

3) [line 20] EIN BINYAN B'CHELIM V'EIN SETIRAH B'CHELIM (The Melachos of "Building" and "Destroying" do not apply to utensils)
(a) Binyan (building) and Setirah (destroying) are two of the 39 Avos Melachos that are prohibited on Shabbos (Mishnah Shabbos 73a).
(b) Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel argue as to whether the prohibition of Binyan and Setirah apply only to objects that are attached to the ground or to movable utensils, also. According to Beis Hillel, Binyan and Setirah do not apply to utensils; they only apply to objects that are connected to the ground (Beitzah 21b).
(c) The Risonim argue over the meaning of Beis Hillel's phrase, "Ein Binyan b'Cheilim." According to Rashi, even a person who makes an *entire* utensil from scratch will not be Chayav for Binyan. (RASHI Shabbos 47a DH Chayav and 74b DH Chayav). According to TOSFOS, however, a person who makes an entire utensil or destroys it *is* Chayav for Binyan or Setirah. Ein Binyan b'Cheilim means that it is not prohibited to connect or disconnect parts of a utensil to make one large utensil or to dismantle it (TOSFOS Shabbos 74b DH Chavita, 102b DH Hai).
