Today's Daf is sponsored by Stacey Goodstein Ashtamker in loving Memory of her much-missed mother Arlene Goodstein, Enya Bat Chana v' Moshe's 5th yahrzeit. "My mother's presence is felt every day with all the wonderful things she taught us, her love of Judaism and Israel, and all the strength she gave us. She would be very proud of her daughter studying Talmud." Can one carry from roof to roof or enclosure to enclosure or courtyard to courtyard? There are three opinions. What is the background to these approaches? According to the rabbis, the roof follows the house and one cannot carry from one to the other. Rav and Shmuel debate whether according to the rabbis one could carry on the roof itself or only 4 cubits? Their argument depends on using imaginary walls (gut asik mechitzta) - in what situations can we use that principle?

Today's daf is sponsored by Rabbi Amy Bardack in memory of the 11 lives lost in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting two years ago today. And our learning this week will be in memory of Eli Hoffman z"l who passed away yesterday. Why did Rabbi Chanania ben Akavia permit those three things in Tiberias? Can one use the suspended walls coming out of the ledge only to draw water, but not to dump waste water? Or can it be used for both? If one steals a space from someone, does the original owner need to be part of the eruv or not? How does this make sense in light of the case in the mishna of the one who had a lower ledge and didn't make a suspended wall and uses (seemingly without permission) the wall of the upper ledge and thereby forbids the owner from using it unless they make a eruv together? The mishna and gemara discuss ways in which people can or cannot remove water from their house through the courtyard or the roof. What are the necessary requirements/what are the issues involved?

Today's daf is dedicated by Kay Weinberger for a refuah shlema to her dear sister Helen Taylor, Chana bat Chava, as well as a refuah shlema to her beloved grandson, Yuval Mironi, Yuval ben Elisheva Sarah, who is undergoing major surgery today. And by Caroline Ben-Ari in honor of her 65th birthday. Mazal Tov!

The gemara compares Rabbi Yehuda's opinion permitting the wall of the courtyard to allow sharing of the water underneath it to Rabbi Chanania ben Akavia's position allowing a large ledge (4x4 cubits) with a hole in the middle of 4x4 handbreadths to permit drawing water from a body of water underneath (particularly the Kinneret). Would they each agree with the other? The rabbis infer from Rabbi Chanania that he would even permit less in particular situations. If a channel runs through a courtyard, are the residents permitted to draw the water? What is necessary to enable that - what are the different opinions? If there are windows and they want to draw from the windows, if it is less than 3 or less than for (debate between the rabbis and Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel, they can. There are three opinions about what needs to be less the three - the bank of the channel, the channel itself or an outlet created in the mechitza at the entrance to the courtyard? What is the root of the debate between the rabbis and Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel? The mishna explains how one can draw water from the water below their house by making a hole in a ledge 4x4 and walls going either up or down for a length of ten handbreadths. The gemara states that the mishna doesn't agree with Chanania ben Akavia who permitted just a ledge 4x4 cubits with a hole 4x4 handbreadths. Rabbi Chanania permitted it just to the people of Tiberias. He also permitted them two other things. What were they?

Another week of our learning is dedicated for the refuah shleima of Eliahu Yonatan Ben Gittel Mira by Jeanne Klempner and Goody Weil. We continue to pray for Eli's recovery and hope all of our learning will be a source of strength and to him and his family.

According to Rabbi Yehuda, if the owner has some sort of hold on the property, even if someone else is living there, there is no need for an eruv. What type of hold is needed. in this context, a story is told about ben Bunios and his wealth and how the rabbis treated him with respect. Why is it important to respect the wealthy? If one leaves one's house for Shabbat, do they still need to be part of the eruv, and if not, they forbid the others from carrying? On what does it depend? Is there a difference between a Jew and a gentile? Rabbi Shimon says if one is going to one's daughter even in the same town, they do not forbid as clearly there are not going home. However, Rav infers that only one's daughter, but not one's son, due to the complicated nature of the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her in-laws. If there is a well between two courtyards, what is needed to allow each side to draw from their side of the well? Is the idea of viewing walls as imaginary walls that go do to the ground, allowed only where water is involved? Rabbi Sosi allows it for Sukka. Would he necessarily agree that it is allowed also for Shabbat. and if not, why in the case in Tzipori, in order to get a Torah to shul on Shabbat, they allowed it through walls that did not go all the way to the ground? The gemara suggests that maybe it was after his death and it was his son that permitted.

Today's daf is dedicated by Gitta Neufeld in honor of the Hadran English Zoom Shiur. With deepest gratitude for your care and concern. "As I sat in a scary emergency room waiting room, unable to be at my husband's bedside because of COVID regulations, the shiur was my anchor and my rock. Baruch Hashem, we were able to come home - and I managed to complete the daf! הודו לה' כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו"

A pit between two courtyards at a distance of four handbreadths from each courtyard - according to Shmuel, in order to permit drawing water, each would need to put up a small ledge as a reminder that if they were closer, each would forbid the other from carrying. Rav Yehuda allows even with a reed jutting out. Abaye says that Rav Yehuda was based on Shmuel and not Rav as Rav would not require anything here as access when one needs to get through airspace (of four handbreadths or more) would not forbid the other. The gemara tries to figure out from where Abaye knows Rav and Shmuel's opinions on this topic. After establishing that, the gemara questions both Rav and Shmuel. Where can one put eruv chatzerot? And what places are not allowed? What about shituf mevoot?

Today's daf is dedicated by Debbie Ziering in loving memory of her mother, Evelyn Trotzky, Esther Chava bat Avraham z"l on her 23rd yahrtzeit. "A woman of quiet strength, grace and dignity, taken from us much too early." And for a refuah shleima of David ben Eidel.

Rav and Shmuel disagree in a place that is accessible to one location by lowering down and the other by throwing - what is the law? To Rav, it is equally accessible to both and if they did not make a eruv with each other, meither can carry there. Shmuel holds that it is easier to access something by lowering than by throwing and therefore it is permitted for the one who it is accessible to by lowering. The gemara brings tannaitic sources, including our mishna, to try to prove who is right (two for each side) but each suggestion is rejected.

This shiur is dedicated by the Greenstone cousins in honor of the birthday of our cousin, Lana Kerzner, a lawyer and advocate of social justice, a role model to the women and men of our family. The loaf mentioned in the mishna is relevant for various measurements - for what? Why isn't the measurement for food impurities listed in the mishna as that is also based on the loaf. The gemara goes through various measurements and discusses where the size of an egg used in these measurements is exactly an egg or not. The sizes used in measurements got larger over time. What are the differences between them? On what size loaf is one obligated to separate challah? The mishna describes a situation with a porch and a courtyard that had mead an eruv separately as they are considered two separate spaces. If there is an item in the courtyard at a height of 10 handbreadths and close to the porch, it is considered part of the porch. Otherwise, it is considered part of the courtyard.

Is it really true that every time Rabbi Yehuda says "when is this the case?" in the mishna, he is explaining the rabbi's opinion and not disagreeing? In Sanhedrin when it talks about gamblers and others who are not allowed to testify in court, Rabib Yehuda said "When is it the case? Only when they have no other occupation." And it seems that the rabbis disagree from another source. The gemara proves that the opinion from the other source isn't the rabbis' but Rabbi Tarfon's. How can one do an eruv to include others who may want to join. By what point do they need to decide when they want to join - before Shabbat or during? Does it have to do with the laws regarding breira, retroactive designation? Is a child automatically included in their mother's eruv? Until what age? There seem to be some contradictions between sources and the gemara tries to resolve them. Can a man make a eruv for his wife, for his children or Jewish or Canaanite slaves without their knowledge? What if they protest? Two meals' worth are required for an eruv techimum. A Shabbat size meal or a weekday? Which is larger - there is a debate about this!! What is the size of an average loaf and is the size of tat loaf, the measure for two meals or only part of the average loaf? Rabbi Yochanan ben Broka and Rabbi Shimon disagree about these two points.
