Eruvin 79

1) [line 9] ARNEKI - a change purse or money bag which contains money
2) [line 11] L'MITAIMEI KAI - is destined to be filled up
3) [line 19] MASBEN - a heap of straw; haystack
4) [line 28] AL GABEI MUKTZAH - [he may not bring his animal to graze] on grass that was cut on Shabbos, which is Muktzah (for an explanation of the term Muktzah, see Background to Shabbos 45:26a)

5) [line 29] D'KA'IM LAH B'APAH - he stands in front of the animal to (passively) direct it to the heap of straw

*6*) [line 30] BAYIS SHE'BEIN SHTEI CHATZEROS U'MIL'EHU TEVEN - that is, two houses from two different Chatzeiros are joined by a house which is filled with straw. (The two houses are both joined to the house with the straw through a very large opening -- either there is an opening more than 10 Amos wide between them or there is no wall at all between them (Pirtzah b'Milu'o). When the straw is removed, the residents of the houses at either side of the storehouse are considered to be living in one big house, which opens to *both* Chatzeiros. They must therefore be joined in the Eruvin of both Chatzeiros. Since each of the two people in this house joined only *one* Chatzer's Eruv, and was left out of the Eruv of the other Chatzer, the Eruvin of both Chatzeiros are invalidated -RITVA)

7) [line 35] MEVATEL ES RESHUSO
(a) In the event that the inhabitants of a courtyard did not set an Eruv Chatzeiros before Shabbos, or the Eruv became invalidated in some way, carrying may still be permitted if *Bitul Reshuyos* is done. This is accomplished as follows: If none of the people in the courtyard made an Eruv, all of the inhabitants of the courtyard may nullify their domains in favor of one of the inhabitants. All of the houses/courtyards in the area are considered the private domain of the person chosen. If some of those in the courtyard made an Eruv together, those who did not may nullify their domains in favor of the collective domain of those who made an Eruv.
(b) Bitul Reshuyos may be done as long as the following conditions are met: (1) The nullification must be done only in favor of a *single* person or a collective party who made an Eruv together; (2) those who nullified their domains may not transfer objects from their houses to the courtyard or vice versa. Bitul Reshuyos only permits carrying in the courtyard and from the courtyard to the house of the persons chosen. (If only one person was chosen, only he is permitted to carry form his house to the courtyard. If a number of people who made and Eruv together are chosen, then *all* residents of the courtyard may carry from the houses of those who were chosen to the courtyard -- Eruvin 69b.) According to some Tana'im, the ones in whose favor the Bitul was done may carry from the house/s of the Mevatel to the courtyard as well (Eruvin 26b). If one of the houseowners who nullified their domains transfers from his house to the courtyard or vice versa, not only has he transgressed a prohibition, but it constitutes a repeal of his nullification. It becomes once again prohibited to carry in the courtyard. (Eruvin 26a and RASHI DH Anshei Chatzer)
(c) In our Sugya, when the straw is removed from the storehouse joining the courtyards, the residents of the houses at either side of the storehouse are considered to be living in one big house, which opens to *both* Chatzeiros. They must therefore be joined in the Eruvin of both Chatzeiros. Since each of the two people in this house joined only *one* Chatzer's Eruv, and was left out of the Eruv of the other Chatzer, the Eruvin of both Chatzeiros are invalidated. One of the residents may lock his house and/or be Mevatel his Reshus to the residents of the other courtyard so that they may be permitted to carry.

8) [line 36] GOV SHEL TEVEN - a wide pit full of straw
9) [line 43] D'MIDALYA TIKRA TUVA - there is a large space between the ceiling and the straw

79b---------------------------------------79b

10) [line 7] TARTEI? - [he has to] both [lock his door and Mevatel his Reshus]?
11a) [line 10] KEIVAN D'DASH BEI - since he is accustomed (to carrying from his house into the courtyard)
b) [line 11] ASI L'TALTULEI - he might carry from his house into the courtyard (which will repeal his Bitul Reshus)

12) [line 16] ASI L'ACHLUFEI - [in a case where the pit lies on the border of two Techumin,] a person from one Techum might take straw from the part of the pit that is in the other Techum

13) [line 18] MEZAKEH LAHEN - he transfers possession of it to them
14) [line 26] MELO LUGMAV - the quantity of liquid that fills two cheeks
