## Eruvin Daf 33b

###### Eruvin 33b:1
[Eruvin 33b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:1)

וְרַבִּי סָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבִּי מֵאִיר, וְסָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Meir, and he** also **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda.**


###### Eruvin 33b:2
[Eruvin 33b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:2)

סָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבִּי מֵאִיר, דְּאָמַר חוֹקְקִין לְהַשְׁלִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara clarifies: **He holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Meir, who said** the following in the case of an arched gateway in which the lower, straight-walled section is three handbreadths high, and the entire arch is ten handbreadths high: Even if, at the height of ten handbreadths, the arch is less than four handbreadths wide, one considers it as if he **carves out** the space **to complete** it, i.e., the arch has the legal status as though it were actually enlarged to a width of four handbreadths. Similarly, in our case the basket is taken into account and enlarges the tree to a width of four handbreadths.


###### Eruvin 33b:3
[Eruvin 33b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:3)

וְסָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה, דְּאָמַר בָּעִינַן עֵירוּב עַל גַּבֵּי מְקוֹם אַרְבָּעָה, וְלֵיכָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And he** also **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda, who said: We require** that the ***eiruv*** rest **on a place** that is **four** by four handbreadths wide, **and** here **there is not** a width of four handbreadths without taking the basket into account.


###### Eruvin 33b:4
[Eruvin 33b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:4)

מַאי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה? דְּתַנְיָא: רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: נָעַץ קוֹרָה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְהִנִּיחַ עֵירוּבוֹ עָלֶיהָ, גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה וּרְחָבָה אַרְבָּעָה — עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב, וְאִם לָאו — אֵין עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara now asks: **What is** the source of the ruling of **Rabbi Yehuda? As it was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yehuda says: If one stuck a** cross **beam** into the ground **in the public domain and placed his *eiruv* upon it,** if the cross beam is **ten** handbreadths **high and four** handbreadths **wide,** so that it has the status of a private domain, **his *eiruv* is a** valid ***eiruv*; but if not, his *eiruv* is not a** valid ***eiruv*.**


###### Eruvin 33b:5
[Eruvin 33b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:5)

אַדְּרַבָּה, הוּא וְעֵירוּבוֹ בִּמְקוֹם אֶחָד! אֶלָּא הָכִי קָאָמַר: גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה — צָרִיךְ שֶׁיְּהֵא בְּרֹאשָׁהּ אַרְבָּעָה, אֵין גְּבוֹהָה עֲשָׂרָה — אֵין צָרִיךְ שֶׁיְּהֵא בְּרֹאשָׁהּ אַרְבָּעָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara expresses surprise: **On the contrary,** if the cross beam is not ten handbreadths high, why shouldn’t his *eiruv* be valid? **He and his *eiruv* are in the same place,** i.e., in the public domain. **Rather, this is what he said:** If the cross beam is **ten** handbreadths **high, it is necessary that its top be four** handbreadths wide, so that it can be considered its own domain; but if it is **not ten** handbreadths **high, it is not necessary that its top be four** handbreadths wide because it is considered part of the public domain.


###### Eruvin 33b:6
[Eruvin 33b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:6)

כְּמַאן? דְּלָא כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה, דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: נָעַץ קָנֶה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְהִנִּיחַ בְּרֹאשׁוֹ טְרַסְקָל, וְזָרַק וְנָח עַל גַּבָּיו — חַיָּיב!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara poses a question: **In accordance with whose** opinion did Ravina offer his explanation, which maintains that we are dealing with a basket that completes the dimension of the tree to four handbreadths and yet it is not treated as a private domain? **It is not in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, as it was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, says:** If **one stuck a reed** into the ground **in the public domain, and placed a basket [*teraskal*]** four by four handbreadths wide **on top of it, and threw** an object from the public domain, **and it landed upon it, he is liable** for carrying from a public domain to a private domain. According to Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, if a surface of four by four handbreadths rests at a height of ten handbreadths from the ground, this is sufficient for it to be considered a private domain. Ravina’s explanation of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi’s position, however, does not appear to accept this assumption.


###### Eruvin 33b:7
[Eruvin 33b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:7)

אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה, הָתָם — הָדְרָן מְחִיצָתָא. הָכָא — לָא הָדְרָן מְחִיצָתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara refutes this and claims that this proof is not conclusive: **Even if you say** that Ravina’s explanation is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda,** a distinction can be made: **There,** in the case of the basket resting on a reed, the sides of the basket constitute **partitions** that **surround** the reed on all sides, and we can invoke the principle of: Lower the partition, according to which the partitions are viewed as extending down to the ground. Consequently, a kind of private domain is created within the public domain. **Here,** in the case of the basket hanging from the tree, the **partitions** of the basket **do not surround** the tree, and so they do not suffice to create a private domain.


###### Eruvin 33b:8
[Eruvin 33b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:8)

רַבִּי יִרְמְיָה אָמַר: שָׁאנֵי כַּלְכַּלָּה, הוֹאִיל וְיָכוֹל לִנְטוֹתָהּ וְלַהֲבִיאָהּ לְתוֹךְ עֲשָׂרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yirmeya said** that the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi in the *Tosefta* can be explained in an entirely different manner: **A basket is different, since one can tilt it and** in that way **bring it to within ten** handbreadths of the ground. Without moving the entire basket, one can tilt it and thereby remove the *eiruv* in order to eat it, without carrying it from one domain to another.


###### Eruvin 33b:9
[Eruvin 33b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/33b:9)

יָתֵיב רַב פָּפָּא וְקָא אָמַר לְהָא שְׁמַעְתָּא. אֵיתִיבֵיהּ רַב בַּר שַׁבָּא לְרַב פָּפָּא: כֵּיצַד הוּא עוֹשֶׂה? מוֹלִיכוֹ בָּרִאשׁוֹן וּמַחְשִׁיךְ עָלָיו, וְנוֹטְלוֹ וּבָא לוֹ. בַּשֵּׁנִי, מַחְשִׁיךְ עָלָיו וְאוֹכְלוֹ, וּבָא לוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Pappa sat and recited this *halakha*. Rav bar Shabba raised an objection to Rav Pappa** from the following mishna: **What does one do** if a Festival occurs on Friday, and he wishes to establish an *eiruv* that will be valid for both the Festival and Shabbat? **He brings** the *eiruv* to the location that he wishes to establish as his residence **on** the eve of the **first** day, i.e., the eve of the Festival, **and stays** there **with it until nightfall,** the time when the *eiruv* establishes that location as his residence, **and** then **he takes it** with him **and goes away,** so that it does not become lost before Shabbat begins, in which case he would not have an *eiruv* for Shabbat. **On** the eve of the **second** day, i.e., on Friday afternoon, he takes it back to the same place as the day before, and **stays** there **with it until nightfall,** thereby establishing his Shabbat residence; and then he may then **eat** the *eiruv* **and go away,** if he so desires.
