עירובין 72:1
Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible
while the other maintains that in the case of wine no one disputes the ruling that the two are necessary and that they only differ in the case of bread. An objection was raised: ‘The Sages, however, ruled: Either ‘erub or shittuf is enough’. Does not this mean that it is permissible to prepare an ‘erub in a courtyard with bread or arrange shittuf in an alley with wine? — R. Giddal citing Rab replied: It is this that was meant: Either an ‘erub for the courtyards is prepared with bread, and unrestricted movement Is permitted in both the alley and the courtyards; or shittuf for the alley is made with bread, and unrestricted movement is again permitted in both. Rab Judah citing Rab stated: The halachah is in agreement with R. Meir; R. Huna, however, stated: The customary practice Is In agreement with R. Meir, while R. Johanan stated: The people are in the habit of acting in agreement with R. Meir. MISHNAH. IF FIVE COMPANIES SPENT THE SABBATH IN ONE HALL EACH COMPANY, BETH SHAMMAI RULED, MUST CONTRIBUTE SEPARATELY TO THE ERUB; BUT BETH HILLEL RULED: ALL OF THEM CONTRIBUTE TO THE ‘ERUB ONLY ONE SHARE. THEY AGREE, HOWEVER, THAT WHERE SOME OF THEM OCCUPY ROOMS OR UPPER CHAMBERS A SEPARATE CONTRIBUTION TO THE ‘ERUB MUST BE MADE FOR EACH COMPANY. GEMARA. R. Nahman stated: The dispute relates only to partitions of stakes but where the partitions were ten handbreadths high all agree that a separate contribution to the ‘erub must be made for each company. Others read: R. Nahman stated: The dispute relates also to partitions of stakes. R. Hiyya and R. Simeon son of Rabbi differ on the interpretation of our Mishnah. One holds that the dispute relates only to partitions that reach to the ceiling, but where they do not reach it all agree that only one contribution to the ‘erub need be made for all of them; while the other holds that the dispute relates Only to partitions that do not reach the ceiling but where they do reach it all agree that a separate contribution to the ‘erub is necessary for each company.
