27) [line 29] RIFTA D'EIRUVA
(a) The last of the 39 categories of forbidden Melachos (creative acts) of
Shabbos is ha'Motzi me'Rshus l'Rshus. A person is not allowed to transfer
objects from one Reshus (domain) to another on Shabbos. It is a capital
offense to transfer objects from a Reshus ha'Rabim (public domain) to a
Reshus ha'Yachid (private domain). (Mishnah Shabbos 73a)
(b) According to Torah law, in a courtyard which has separate housing
units, all of the neighbors may transfer objects from their houses to the
courtyard and into other houses on Shabbos. The entire area is a Reshus
ha'Yachid. Such is the case in an alley with several courtyards and in a
city that is completely walled. (RAMBAM Hilchos Eiruvin 1:1)
(c) King Shlomo decreed that transferring objects from one Reshus ha'Yachid
to another is forbidden, unless an Eiruv Chatzeiros (lit. a mixing of the
courtyards) is created on Friday, before Shabbos begins. (Shabbos 14b,
Eiruvin 21b). This is accomplished by all of the neighbors collectively
setting aside a loaf of bread, to show that they have an equal share in all
of the Reshuyos ha'Yachid, just as they have an equal share in that bread.
They can be considered one Reshus again. (In the case of an alley or city,
any food is permissible to use as an Eiruv, except for water, salt and
mushrooms. There must be enough food for two meals for one person.)
(d) The bread that was used for an Eiruv Chatzeiros was considered special
by the Chachamim, since it was used for a Mitzvah. They tried to do other
Mitzvos with it, such as using it for the third meal on Shabbos.
