Previous daf
Eruvin 48
1) [line 1] MECHAYICH - laughs
2) [line 6] HA'MOSHCHIN - that flow
3) [line 13] MECHITZAH TELUYAH - a wall which has a gap in the lower part
4) [line 21] "SHEVU ISH TACHTAV" - "Every man shall remain in his place"
(Shemos 16:29) - "his place" is interpreted as the length of his person
5) [line 25] MI'TACHAS MARGELOSAV - from beneath him (below his feet)
6) [line 35] IY DAIKINAN KULA HAI, LO HAVEI TANEINAN - if we would have been
so exacting in our learning (as your question is), we would not have learned
anything
7) [line 39] NANAS B'EIVARAV - a person whose limbs are small in proportion
to the rest of his body
8) [line 45] AVSHEI DIYURIN - there are many inhabitants [in the case of
three courtyards] (and there is a greater chance that someone may make a
mistake and carry between the outer courtyards via the middle courtyard)
9) [line 47] D'ARVEI
(a) THE TORAH LAW - According to Torah law, in a courtyard (Chatzer) which
has in it houses owned by different people, all of the neighbors may
transfer objects from their houses to the courtyard and into other houses on
Shabbos. Even though each house is a separate Reshus ha'Yachid, it is
permissible to move objects from one Reshus ha'Yachid to another. Such is
also the case when several *courtyards* open on a dead-end alley (Mavoy -
the Rabanan enacted that a Mavoy must have a Lechi or Korah, see
Introduction to Maseches Eruvin), or when an entire city is walled. (RAMBAM
Hilchos Eruvin 1:1)
(b) ERUV AND SHITUF - King Shlomo decreed that transferring objects from a
*private* Reshus ha'Yachid to a *public* one is forbidden, unless an *Eruv
Chatzeiros* (lit. a mixing of the courtyard, Rambam Hil. Eruvin 1:6; or
fraternization of the courtyard, Eruvin 49a) is created on Friday, before
Shabbos begins. (Shabbos 14b, Eruvin 21b). (The equivalent of an Eruv
Chatzeiros for an alley or a city is called a *Shituf Mavo'os*.) This is
accomplished by all of the neighbors collectively setting aside a loaf of
bread, in one common container, in one of the houses of the courtyard (or,
in the case of Shituf, in one of the courtyards of the alleyway). This shows
that all neighbors have an equal share in all of the Reshuyos ha'Yachid,
just as they all have a share in that bread. Through this act, they can be
considered one Reshus again. (An Eruv Chatzeros uses bread. A Shituf is not
limited to bread; any food may be used except for water, salt and
mushrooms.) (RAMBAM ibid. 1:4-9)
