Eruvin 92

ERUVIN 92, 93 - have been dedicated by Mrs. Rita Grunberger of Queens, N.Y., in loving memory of her late husband, Yitzchok Yakov ben Eliyahu Grunberger. Mr Grunberger helped many people quietly in an unassuming manner and is sorely missed by all who knew him.

1)

(a) Why is the S'tam Mishnah in Shabbos, which forbids carrying from a wall between two courtyards down into one of the courtyards, a Kashya on Rebbi Yochanan, and why particularly on Rebbi Yochanan and not on Shmuel?

(b) If not for Rebbi Yochanan, how would we otherwise establish the Mishnah?

(c) How does Rebbi Yochanan explain the Mishnah?

(d) And what does he do with Rebbi Chiya, who forbids them even to stand in the Chatzer or on the wall and eat the food from the wall?

2)
(a) If two courtyards, only one of which made an Eruv, flank a ruin, Rav Huna maintains that we give the ruin to the courtyard which did not make an Eruv.
Why is that?

(b) What does Chiya bar Rav say in his father's name? How does he interpret his father's words?

(c) Why does Rav forbid carrying the vessels from the courtyard which made an Eruv to the one which did not, but not vice-versa, and what is Chiya bar Rav's proof from there?

(d) How does the Gemara reject Chiya bar Rav's proof?

3)
(a) If a large roof adjoins a small one, the Tana permits the owner of the large roof to carry vessels from his house to the roof, but not the owner of the small one.
Why is that?

(b) How wide may the gap be, for the above concession to apply?

(c) Could the author of this Mishnah (who forbids the owner of the small roof to carry) be Rebbi Meir, who considers all roofs to be one Reshus?

(d) Will the above Dinim apply to slanting roofs.

4) According to Rav, the Tana needs to teach us this Din with regard to both two roofs and two courtyards, to teach us that the roofs, like the courtyards, must have recognizable roofs (as we already learnt above). Why is this necessary according to Shmuel?

5)

(a) What principle do Rabah, Rebbi Zeira and Rabah bar Rav Chanan deduce from our Mishnah with regard to the residents of a large Reshus that opens into a small one?

(b) What are the ramifications of this principle with regard to sowing seeds ...

  1. ... in a *small* field, when there are vines in the *large* one?
  2. ... in a *large* field, when there are vines in the *small* one?
(c) In the latter case, how close to the vines may one plant the seeds?

(d) Why is the owner of the small field not obligated to uproot his vines, when the seeds in the large field have grown?

6)

(a) What are the ramifications of the above principle with regard to a woman receiving her Get ...
  1. ... when she is in the large courtyard while her Get is in the small one?
  2. ... when she is in the small courtyard while her Get is in the large one?
(b) Why, in the latter case, do we not consider her to be in the large field (together with her Get), and declare her divorced?
7)
(a) What are the ramifications of the above principle with regard to Tefilah be'Tzibur when the community are ...
  1. ... in the *large* room, and the Shatz in the *small* one?
  2. ... in the *small* room, and the Shatz in the *large* one?
(b) Why do we not say in the latter case that we consider the community to be in the large room, and it will be considered Tefilah be'Tzibur?
8) And what will be its ramifications regarding reciting the Shema ...
  1. ... if the person who wants to recite the Shema is in the *small* room, and there is excrement in the *large* one?
  2. ... if the person who wants to recite the Shema is in the *large* room, and there is excrement in the *small* one? Why is this?
9)
(a) What basic Kashya does Abaye ask on the above, in connection with the principle of Mechitzah?

(b) Rebbi Zeira cited a case of a *large* Chatzer adjoining a *small* one where Mechitzos create an Isur.
What is the case?

(c) On what grounds does Abaye refute Rebbi Zeira's proof?

10)
(a) Rabah cites a case in connection with Sucah, where Mechitzos create a Pesul.
What is the case, and what is the proof?

(b) And how does Abaye refute this proof?

(c) Why does Abaye disagree with the very basis of the proof?

11)
(a) Rabah bar Rav Chanan cites a case where a Mechitzah seems to create an Isur - in connection with sowing seeds near vines in a house which is half covered and half open.
What is the case, and what is his proof?

(b) How does Abaye refute this proof, too?
