Eruvin 101

ERUVIN 101 - has been generously dedicated by Rav Mordechai Rabin of London/Yerushalayim

***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 101a [line 20, 23]:
(a) The words "Amar Lei ha'Hu *Tzeduki*"
should be "Amar Lei ha'Hu *Mina*"
(b) The words "she'Mehadkin *Es ha'Resha'im*"
should be "she'Mehadkin *Umos ha'Olam*
(Dikdukei Sofrim #3, #7; these words were changed by the censor)

101b---------------------------------------101b

*23*) [line 22] MID'KA'AMAR V'CHEN CHANUYOS - that is, the word "v'Chen" implies that just as the key must be in the same Reshus as the lock when locking a garden, the key must be in the same Reshus as the lock when locking a store. Since it is evident from the Beraisa that the store's lock (when it is under 10 Tefachim) is a Karmelis, the key must be in a Karmelis too. (TOSFOS DH mid'Ka'amar)

24) [line 24] MAKOM PETUR
Mekomos Petur are those places and objects that do not fulfill *any* of the conditions that characterize the other three Reshuyos (domains) of Shabbos: Reshus ha'Yachid; Reshus ha'Rabim; Karmelis (see Introduction to Maseches Shabbos). Transferring from a Makom Petur to one of the other three Reshuyos is permitted, as long as it is not used to circumvent the prohibition of Hotza'ah, e.g. transferring from Reshus ha'Yachid to Reshus ha'Rabim through a Makom Petur. Some examples of Makom Petur are (1) a doorstep with an area less than four by four Tefachim, (2) a pole in Reshus ha'Rabim with an area less than four by four Tefachim and a height not greater than ten Tefachim and (3) the air above Reshus ha'Rabim or a Karmelis (i.e. above a height of ten Tefachim). See Charts to Shabbos #1- 2.

25) [line 39] L'CHATEF ALAV - to use the Makom Petur to rearrange the burden on his shoulder

26) [line 40] NAGAR - a bolt, peg (that is placed into a hole in the doorstep to lock the door) [(O.F. chevile) a peg]

27) [line 41] GELOSTERA - the head of the peg has a thick, rounded end that makes it possible to use it as a pestle

28) [last line] B'NITAL B'OGDO - the string that is attached to the peg is strong enough to hold it without snapping
