משנה: עִיר שֶׁל יָחִיד שֶׁנַּעֲשֵׂית שֶׁל רַבִּים מְעָרְבִים אֶת כּוּלָּה וְשֶׁל רַבִּים שֶׁנַּעֲשֵׂית שֶׁל יָחִיד אֵין מְעָרְבִין אֶת כּוּלָּהּ אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן עָשָׂה לָהּ כְּעִיר חֲדָשָׁה שֶׁבִּיהוּדָה שֶׁיֶשׁ בָּהּ חֲמִשִּׁים דִּיוּרִין דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי יְהוּדָה. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר שָׁלֹשׁ חֲצֵירוֹת שֶׁל שְׁנֵי שְׁנֵי בָתִּים:

MISHNAH: A village which is the property of one person13And therefore is considered one dwelling where one may carry in the entire place without an eruv. If it turns into a place with multiple owners, an eruv is needed. and becomes owned by many can have one eruv in its entirety; but for one of multiple ownership14Where one needs an eruv to make it possible to carry in the alleys. If now an individual buys up all property in the village it should not be forgotten that the place originally needed an eruv; therefore some part should be left outside the main compound in which one may carry freely. which became one of single ownership one does not make an eruv in its entirety unless one leaves outside [a part] like the town Ḥadašah in Jehudah15Jos. 15:37. which has 50 inhabitants16Including children and women., the words of Rebbi Jehudah. Rebbi Simeon says, three courtyards of two houses each.

HALAKHAH: Paragraph: “A village which is the property of one person13And therefore is considered one dwelling where one may carry in the entire place without an eruv. If it turns into a place with multiple owners, an eruv is needed. and becomes owned by many,” etc. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Jehudah: One does not make an eruv in parts. Rebbi Jehudah’s argument is inverted since Rebbi Ḥiyya stated:131Chapter 1, Note 147. How does one permit public domain? Rebbi Jehudah says, a lath on each side or a beam on each side, but the Sages say, a lath and a beam on one side and he makes a door frame on the other side. And here he says so? It was not said about this but about the following: Even a big city like Antioch, if it has a single gate one may make an eruv132There is only one entrance; no traffic artery crossing the town. Then one eruv can be made for the entire city but no partial one. R. Jehudah states that either one makes no eruv at all or one makes one for the entire city. If one made two eruvim for two different parts of the city both would be invalid. Babli 59a/b.. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Jehudah: One does not make an eruv in parts. Rebbi Yose said, this133Since the alley has only one exit it is similar to the city with only one gate. If one made two eruvim for two different parts of the alley both would be invalid. implies that if people in an alley put a beam (in) [at the entrance]134The text in parentheses is the original text of the scribe, the one in brackets the corrector’s. The corrector’s text is impossible. Medieval quotes of the passage (Rashba col. 351, Ritba ad 59b p. 50d, Meïri ad 59a p. 227a, Rosh Chapter 5 No. 9) all read “in the middle”, and this is the meaning of the scribe’s text. The dwellers in the back part of the dead-end alley put their cross beam not at the entrance of the alley but in the middle. If the dwellers of the outer part do not make their own eruv, the back part eruv is valid. If both parts make their own eruv, neither of them is valid. of the alley then these are permitted and those are prohibited. If both of them put it up, both are prohibited. What does he do? He puts the beam at the entrance of the alley and permits the alley135A single common eruv.. If five alleys opened into one alley and they put their beam in the middle of the alley then these are permitted and those are prohibited136A beam at the entrance of a separate alley makes possible an eruv for that alley.. If both of them put it up, both are prohibited. What does he do? He puts the beam at the entrance of the alley and permits the alley. Rebbi Phineas immigrated here. He looked at the entrance of the market of the shearers and said to them, did you split your eruv? Rebbi Jehudah bar Shalom told him, it was made to reinforce the houses137The beam was there for structural reasons; it was not intended for an eruv..

אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן עָשָׂה חוּצָה לָהּ כְּעִיר חֲדָשָׁה שֶׁבִּיהוּדָה. כְּגוֹן צְנָן וַחֲדָשָׁה וּמִגְדַּל גָּד. שֶׁיֶשׁ בָּהּ חֲמִשָּׁה דִּיוּרִין. אֲפִילוּ אֲנָשִׁים נָשִׁים וָטָף. אַסִּי אָמַר. וּבִלְבַד יִשְׂרָאֵל. רִבִּי בָּא בַּר מָמָל שִׂמְעוֹן בַּר חִיָיה בְשֵׁם רַב. בִּפְתוּחִין לְתוֹכָהּ. אָמַר רִבִּי מָנָא. מִכֵּיוָן שֶׁהֵן פְּתוּחִין לְתוֹכָהּ נַעֲשׂוּ כוּלָּן רְשׁות אַחַת.

“Unless one leaves outside like the town Ḥadašah in Jehudah.” As Senan, Ḥadašah, and Migdal-Gad138Jos. 15:37.. “Which has 5139With the Mishnah read: 50. inhabitants,” even men, women, and children. Assi said, but only Israel. Rebbi Abba bar Mamal, Simeon bar Ḥiyya in the name of Rav: If they open into it140The houses which are left out of the eruv have to be accessible from the town, otherwise they could not be part of the eruv and leaving them out would not be reserving anything.. Rebbi Mana said, since they open into it they all are made one domain141If houses belong naturally to the town there is no reason to leave them out of the eruv. Babli 60a..
