[Eruvin 99b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:1)

וְכֵן בַּגַּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the same** applies **in a winepress.** This winepress cannot be a private domain, as the first clause of the mishna already dealt with a private domain. The winepress must therefore be a *karmelit*, which proves that it is prohibited to drink from a *karmelit* while standing in a public domain.


###### Eruvin 99b:2
[Eruvin 99b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:2)

וְרָבָא אָמַר: לְעִנְיַן מַעֲשֵׂר. וְכֵן אָמַר רַב שֵׁשֶׁת: ״וְכֵן בַּגַּת״ — לְעִנְיַן מַעֲשֵׂר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rava said:** This proof is not conclusive, as the words: The same applies in a winepress, do not refer to Shabbat but **to the matter of** the *halakhot* of **tithes,** as explained below. **And similarly, Rav Sheshet said** that the statement that **the same** applies **in a winepress** refers **to the matter of tithes.**


###### Eruvin 99b:3
[Eruvin 99b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:3)

דִּתְנַן: שׁוֹתִין עַל הַגַּת, בֵּין בְּחַמִּין וּבֵין בְּצוֹנֵן, וּפָטוּר — דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בַּר צָדוֹק מְחַיֵּיב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara clarifies this statement. **As we learned** in a mishna: **One** may **drink** grape juice directly **on the winepress** *ab initio* without tithing, **whether** the juice was diluted **with hot** water, even though he will then be unable to return the leftover wine to the press, as it would ruin all the wine in the press, **or whether** the juice was diluted **with cold** water, in which case he could return the leftover wine without ruining the rest, **and he is exempt.** Drinking that way is considered incidental drinking, and anything that is not a fixed meal is exempt from tithing. This is the **statement of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Eliezer bar Tzadok deems** one **obligated** to tithe in both cases.


###### Eruvin 99b:4
[Eruvin 99b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:4)

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: עַל הַחַמִּין חַיָּיב, וְעַל הַצּוֹנֵן פָּטוּר. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמַּחֲזִיר אֶת הַמּוֹתָר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the Rabbis say:** There is a distinction between these two cases. When the juice is diluted **with hot** water, since one cannot return what is left of the juice to the press, **he is obligated** to tithe it, as this drinking is like fixed drinking for which one is obligated to tithe. However, when the juice is diluted **with cold** water, **he is exempt** from tithing it, **because he** can **return the leftover** juice to the press. Therefore, it is considered incidental drinking, which is exempt from tithing. The teaching of the mishna: The same applies to a winepress, is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Meir, as it teaches that that the leniency to drink without separating tithes applies only if the drinker’s head and most of his body are in the winepress.

[Eruvin 99b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:5)

**מַתְנִי׳** קוֹלֵט אָדָם מִן הַמַּזְחֵילָה לְמַטָּה מֵעֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, וּמִן הַצִּינּוֹר מִכׇּל מָקוֹם שׁוֹתֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **A person** standing in a public domain on Shabbat may **catch** water in a vessel **from a gutter** running along the side of a roof, if it is **less than ten handbreadths** off the ground, which is part of the public domain. **And from a pipe** that protrudes from the roof, **one** may **drink in any manner,** i.e., not only by catching the water in a vessel, but even by pressing his mouth directly against the spout.


###### Eruvin 99b:6
[Eruvin 99b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:6)

**גְּמָ׳** קוֹלֵט — אִין, אֲבָל מְצָרֵף — לָא. מַאי טַעְמָא? אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: הָכָא בְּמַזְחֵילָה פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה סָמוּךְ לַגַּג עָסְקִינַן, דְּכׇל פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה סָמוּךְ לַגַּג, כְּגַג דָּמֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** A careful reading of the mishna indicates that to **catch, yes,** one may catch the water from a distance, **but** to **press** his hand or mouth to the gutter, **no,** that is prohibited. The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** for this distinction? **Rav Naḥman said: Here, we are dealing with a gutter within three** handbreadths **of the roof,** and the *halakha* is in accordance with the principle that **anything within three** handbreadths **of a roof is considered like the roof** itself, based on the principle of *lavud*, according to which two solid surfaces are considered joined if there is a gap of less than three handbreadths between them. Since the roof of the house is a private domain, one would be carrying from a private domain to a public domain, which is prohibited.


###### Eruvin 99b:7
[Eruvin 99b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:7)

תַּנְיָא נָמֵי הָכִי: עוֹמֵד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וּמַגְבִּיהַּ יָדוֹ לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים לְפָחוֹת מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה סָמוּךְ לַגַּג, וְקוֹלֵט, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְצָרֵף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**That** ruling, that there is a distinction between catching water falling from a gutter and pressing one’s hand or mouth to it, **was also taught** in a *baraita*: **A person** may **stand in a private domain and raise his hand above ten handbreadths,** until it is **within three** handbreadths **of the roof, and catch** any water falling from his neighbor’s roof in a vessel, **provided that he does not press** his hand or mouth to the roof.


###### Eruvin 99b:8
[Eruvin 99b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:8)

תַּנְיָא אִידַּךְ: לֹא יַעֲמוֹד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וְיַגְבִּיהַּ יָדוֹ לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים לְפָחוֹת מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה סָמוּךְ לַגַּג וִיצָרֵף, אֲבָל קוֹלֵט הוּא וְשׁוֹתֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It was** likewise **taught** in **another** *baraita*: **A person** may **not stand in a private domain and raise his hand above ten handbreadths, to within three** handbreadths **of the roof, and press** his hand to the gutter, **but he** may **catch** water falling from the gutter **and drink.**


###### Eruvin 99b:9
[Eruvin 99b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:9)

מִן הַצִּינּוֹר מִכׇּל מָקוֹם שׁוֹתֶה. תָּנָא: אִם יֵשׁ בְּצִינּוֹר אַרְבָּעָה עַל אַרְבָּעָה — אָסוּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא כְּמוֹצִיא מֵרְשׁוּת לִרְשׁוּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It was stated in the mishna: **But from a pipe one** may **drink in any manner,** as it protrudes more than three handbreadths from the roof. A Sage **taught** in the *Tosefta*: **If the pipe** itself **is four by four** handbreadths wide, **it is prohibited** to stand in the public domain and press one’s hand or mouth to the water, **because he is like** one who **carries from one domain to** another **domain,** as the pipe is considered a domain in its own right.


###### Eruvin 99b:10
[Eruvin 99b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:10)

**מַתְנִי׳** בּוֹר בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְחוּלְיָיתוֹ גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, חַלּוֹן שֶׁעַל גַּבָּיו מְמַלְּאִין הֵימֶנּוּ בְּשַׁבָּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to **a cistern in a public domain, with an embankment ten handbreadths high,** i.e., the embankment constitutes a private domain by itself, if there is **a window above** the cistern, i.e., the window of an adjacent house is situated above the cistern, **one** may **draw** water **from** the cistern **on Shabbat** through the window, as it is permitted to carry from one private domain to another.


###### Eruvin 99b:11
[Eruvin 99b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:11)

אַשְׁפָּה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים גְּבוֹהָ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, חַלּוֹן שֶׁעַל גַּבָּיו שׁוֹפְכִין לְתוֹכָהּ מַיִם בְּשַׁבָּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, with regard to **a garbage dump in a public domain** that is **ten handbreadths high,** which means it has the status of a private domain, if there is **a window above** the pile of refuse that abuts the garbage dump, **one** may **throw water** from the window **onto** the dump **on Shabbat,** as it is permitted to carry from one private domain to another.


###### Eruvin 99b:12
[Eruvin 99b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:12)

**גְּמָ׳** בְּמַאי עָסְקִינַן? אִילֵימָא בִּסְמוּכָה, לְמָה לִי חוּלְיָא עֲשָׂרָה?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara asks: **With what are we dealing** here? **If you say** we are dealing **with** a cistern that is **adjacent** to the wall of the house, i.e. the cistern and wall are separated by less than four handbreadths, **why do I** need the cistern’s **embankment** to be **ten** handbreadths high? Presumably the cistern is ten handbreadths deep, which makes it a private domain, and as it is too close to the house for the public domain to pass between them, one should be permitted to draw water from the cistern through the window, regardless of the height of the embankment.


###### Eruvin 99b:13
[Eruvin 99b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:13)

אָמַר רַב הוּנָא: הָכָא בְּמַאי עָסְקִינַן? בְּמוּפְלֶגֶת מִן הַכּוֹתֶל אַרְבָּעָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Huna said: With what are we dealing here?** With a case where the cistern or garbage dump is **four** handbreadths **removed from the wall** of the house, i.e., a public domain separates the house from the cistern or heap. It is prohibited to carry from one private domain to another by way of a public domain. However, if the cistern’s embankment is ten handbreadths high, the one drawing the water transfers it by way of an area that is more than ten handbreadths above the public domain, which is an exempt domain.


###### Eruvin 99b:14
[Eruvin 99b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:14)

וְטַעְמָא דְּאִיכָּא חוּלְיָא עֲשָׂרָה, הָא לֵיכָּא חוּלְיָא עֲשָׂרָה — קָא מְטַלְטֵל מֵרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לִרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד דֶּרֶךְ רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the reason** that drawing the water is permitted is **that there is an embankment of ten** handbreadths; but **if there is no embankment of ten** handbreadths, it is prohibited, as this would involve **moving** objects **from one private domain to another by way of the public domain.**


###### Eruvin 99b:15
[Eruvin 99b:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:15)

וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא בִּסְמוּכָה — הָא קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן דְּבוֹר וְחוּלְיָיתוֹ מִצְטָרְפִין לַעֲשָׂרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rabbi Yoḥanan said:** The above explanation is unnecessary. **Even** if **you say** that we are dealing **with** a cistern that is **adjacent** to the wall of the house, the mishna comes to **teach us that a cistern and its embankment combine to** complete the **ten** handbreadths required for a private domain, and it is not necessary that the embankment itself reach a height of ten handbreadths.


###### Eruvin 99b:16
[Eruvin 99b:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:16)

אַשְׁפָּה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְכוּ׳. וְלָא חָיְישִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא תִּנָּטֵל אַשְׁפָּה?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna states: With regard to **a garbage dump in a public domain** that is ten handbreadths high, if there is a window above the heap, one may throw water from the window onto the heap on Shabbat. The Gemara asks: **Aren’t we concerned that the** entire **garbage dump** or part of it **might be removed,** turning the area into a public domain, and people will continue to throw water onto it on Shabbat?


###### Eruvin 99b:17
[Eruvin 99b:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:17)

וְהָא רָבִין בַּר רַב אַדָּא אָמַר רַבִּי יִצְחָק: מַעֲשֶׂה בְּמָבוֹי אֶחָד שֶׁצִּידּוֹ אֶחָד כָּלֶה לַיָּם וְצִידּוֹ אֶחָד כָּלֶה לְאַשְׁפָּה, וּבָא מַעֲשֶׂה לִפְנֵי רַבִּי, וְלֹא אָמַר בּוֹ לֹא אִיסּוּר וְלֹא הֶיתֵּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**But didn’t Ravin bar Rav Adda** say that **Rav Yitzḥak said: An incident** occurred **involving a certain alleyway, one of whose sides terminated in the sea,** which closed it off on one side, **and the other side** of which **terminated in a garbage dump. And the incident came before Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi for his ruling as to whether the alleyway has the status of an alleyway closed on both sides, **and he did not say** anything **about it, either prohibition or permission.**


###### Eruvin 99b:18
[Eruvin 99b:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:18)

הֶיתֵּר לֹא אָמַר בּוֹ — דְּחָיְישִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא תִּנָּטֵל אַשְׁפָּה, וְיַעֲלֶה הַיָּם שִׂירְטוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara clarifies: Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **did not say about it** that carrying in the alleyway is **permitted, as we are concerned lest the garbage dump be removed** from its present spot, leaving one side of the alleyway open, **and** we are likewise concerned that perhaps **the sea will throw up sediment** and recede. These sedimentary deposits will intervene between the end of the alleyway and the sea, thereby depriving the alleyway of one its partitions.


###### Eruvin 99b:19
[Eruvin 99b:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:19)

אִיסּוּר לֹא אָמַר בּוֹ — דְּהָא קָיְימִין מְחִיצוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, **he did not say about it** that carrying in the alleyway was **prohibited, as** its **partitions,** the sea and the garbage dump, indeed **exist,** and it was certainly permitted at that time to carry in the alleyway. Apparently, there is indeed a concern that a garbage dump might be removed; why, then, does the same concern not apply to the case in the mishna?


###### Eruvin 99b:20
[Eruvin 99b:20](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:20)

לָא קַשְׁיָא: הָא — דְּיָחִיד, הָא — דְּרַבִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: This is **not difficult.** In **this** case, with regard to the alleyway between the garbage dump and the sea, we are concerned, as we are dealing **with a private** garbage dump, whose owner might change his mind and remove it; whereas in **that** case, i.e., the case in the mishna, it is referring **to a public** heap, which will certainly remain fixed in place.

**מַתְנִי׳** אִילָן שֶׁהָיָה מֵיסֵךְ עַל הָאָרֶץ, אִם אֵין גּוּפוֹ גָּבוֹהַּ מִן הָאָרֶץ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים — מְטַלְטְלִים תַּחְתָּיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to **a tree that was hanging over the ground,** i.e., its branches hung down on all sides like a tent so that it threw a shadow on the ground, **if** the tips of **its branches are no higher than three handbreadths from the ground, one** may **carry under it.** This applies even if the tree is planted in a public domain, as the branches form partitions which turn the enclosed area into a private domain.


###### Eruvin 99b:22
[Eruvin 99b:22](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/99b:22)

שׇׁרָשָׁיו גְּבוֹהִים מִן הָאָרֶץ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים — לֹא יֵשֵׁב עֲלֵיהֶן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **its roots** were **three handbreadths higher than the ground, one** may **not sit on them,** as it is prohibited to use a tree on Shabbat. Any part of a tree that is three handbreadths above the ground has the status of a tree with regard to this prohibition.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua, said: One** may **not move** objects in the area **under** the tree if it is **more than two *beit se’a*. What is the reason** for this prohibition?
