Eruvin 73

ERUVIN 73 (Tamuz 22) - has been dedicated anonymously by a generous donor in LA in memory of her mother

1) [line 1] MEKOM PITA - the place where he eats his meal (his bread)
2) [line 2] KAYATZIN - the watchmen who guard figs that are left in the fields to dry
3) [line 2] BURGENIN - watchmen that reside in temporary huts and guard the fields outside of the cities

4) [line 5] D'IY MAMTU LEHU RIFTA HASAM - that if bread were brought to them there (in the fields)

*5*) [line 16] V'OSER B'AVADIM - that is, slaves must contribute separately to the Eruv even if the Eruv is brought to the house of their master, or even if there are no others in the Chatzer but them and the master.

6) [line 19] "... V'DANIEL BI'SRA MALKA" - "... but Daniel remained in the gate of the king." (Daniel 2:49) - This verse shows that Daniel, who was the slave of King Nevuchadnetzar, was considered to be in the presence of the king wherever he was (RASHI). Similarly, Rebbi Yehudah ben Bava rules that a slave need not contribute separately to the Eruv since he is inseparably linked to his master.

7) [line 38] D'ACHLEI NAHAMA B'VAGA - that eat bread in an inn located in the fields.
8) [line 38] U'VAISEI B'VEI RAV - and spend the night in the Beis ha'Midrash
9) [line 39] KI MASHCHINAN LEHU TECHUMA - when we measure the Techum for them
10) [line 42] D'IY MISDAR LEI HASAM - if he would find a place to lodge where he placed his Eruv

11) [line 43] LECHI V'KORAH
(a) Although mid'Oraisa a Mavoy is a Reshus ha'Yachid, nevertheless, the Chachamim prohibited carrying objects in a Mavoy a distance of four Amos or more. This decree was enacted because of its similarity to a Reshus ha'Rabim, since many families make use of a single Mavoy.
(b) Carrying in a Mavoy is permitted if a *Lechi* is placed vertically against one of the walls at the entrance to the Mavoy. A Lechi is a pole, plank, or other object that is at least ten Tefachim high. It serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (Eruvin 5a, 15a).
(c) Another method to permit carrying in a Mavoy is with a *Korah* (a beam, one Tefach wide). The Korah is placed horizontally across the top of the entrance to the Mavoy, and serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (see Insights to Eruvin 2a, and Graphic #1).
(d) The Lechi and Korah must be used in conjunction with a Shituf Mavo'os (see Introduction to Maseches Eruvin [III]) to permit carrying within the Mavoy.
