Yerushalmi Eruvin 6:6 ירושלמי עירובין ו׳:ו׳

MISHNAH: Five groups who rested in one big hall¹⁴Latin triclinium. during the Sabbath, the House of Shammai say, a separate eruv for each of them, but the House of Hillel say, one eruv for all of them; however they agree that if some of them stayed for the Sabbath in separate rooms or on a second floor that each group needs a separate eruv¹⁵The people in question are all renters. If they have different units as bedrooms the relationship of the hall to the bedrooms is that of a courtyard to houses and the different groups must contribute to the eruv. A group is composed by people eating together; since an eruv is represented by a symbolic meal, an actual meal together obviates the need for an eruv..

HALAKHAH: Paragraph. “Five groups who rested in one big hall,” etc. The big hall for them is like a courtyard for houses¹⁰³For the House of Shammai (Mishnah 6) even in one big hall an eruv is needed if people do not eat together.. If there were tents¹⁰⁴Latin papilio, -onis, m. It seems that the reference is to curtains providing privacy to the different groups. there, it is as if they were houses. Where do we hold? If the tents reach to the ceiling, everybody agrees that every group has to contribute to the eruv. If the tents do not reach to the ceiling, everybody agrees that one eruv is valid for all of them¹⁰⁵If the hall is open to a courtyard, any contribution to the courtyard’s eruv is to the benefit of all the dwellers there.. But we must hold that the tents were ten [hand-breadths] high¹⁰⁶They are legal separations for the House of Shammai but do not provide privacy for the House of Hillel.. They equally agree that if they join in dough and dishes that one eruv is valid for all of them¹⁰⁷Since an eruv is a symbolic common meal, all participants in an actual meal are counted as one for the eruv.. Rebbi Ashian asked, then¹⁰⁸If a common meal unites all dwellers in a house, the fact that they sleep in different rooms should not have any influence on the eruv. The Babli disagrees with the entire discussion, 72a. even if part of them dwell in separate rooms or on upper floors?

Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Jehudah: Two houses, one inside the other¹⁰⁹“House” usually means “one-room apartment.” The inner apartment has no direct exit to the courtyard; its dwellers must leave through the outher apartment.. If the inner one made an eruv¹¹⁰For the courtyard reachable through the outer apartment., the outer one does not have to make an eruv. If the outer one made an eruv, the inner one must contribute to the eruv¹¹¹Since the contribution of the dweller in the outer apartment does not say anything about the inner one whereas the outer apartment is necessary for the inner one as a porter’s lodge.. Rebbi Phineas said, but in Egypt it was the other way. If he gave on the inner, the outer has to give. If he gave on the outer, the inner does not have to give¹¹²Assuming that at the Exodus there was an inner apartment reacheable only through the outer one, smearing blood of the Passover sacrifice on the outer door-post (Ex. 12:7) also protected the inner one while blood on the inner door-posts did not protect the outer ones [S. Liebermann, Tarbiz 6 (1935) p. 235].. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa, Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: Even if the inner one did not make an eruv, the outer one does not have to make an eruv. Why? It is treated as a porter’s lodge¹¹³This is not treated as a separate house in the courtyard if nobody lives there; one does not need to include it in the eruv and one may not deposit the eruv in it. Babli 76a.. His statement implies that there is no porter’s lodge for a single dweller. Rav’s statement implies that there is a porter’s lodge for a single dweller, for Rebbi Abba bar¹¹⁴Read: Rav. Rebbi Abba, Rav Jehudah in the name of Rav. Jehudah said in the name of Rav: This refers to a porter’s lodge of a single dweller. But for a porter’s lodge of multiple dwellers it is an eruv, and one who dwells there forbids him¹¹⁵Chapter 8, 25a l. 41; Babli 75b.. Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Jehudah: If there are two people, one is entitled, the other one is not entitled¹¹⁶A squatter.. If the one entitled made an eruv, the one not entitled is permitted. If the one not entitled made an eruv, the one entitled is not permitted.
