This month's shiurim are sponsored by Tamara Katz in honor of the yahrzeits of her grandparents, Sarah bat Chaya v'Tzvi Hirsh and Meir Leib ben Esther v'Harav Yehoshua Zelig z"l.

The gemara brings a third source to question Rav Nachman's opinion that one who inherits property on Shabbat can relinquish rights to the property. The gemara brings two answers. Ulla and Abaye disagree regarding relinquishing of rights on Shabbat. According, their opinions are shaped by the way they understand how the mechanism of relinquishing rights works – it is that the others are acquiring rights to the other's property or is it that one is removing oneself from the property? If one has food in two separate partnerships with each courtyard that is next to him/her, can that serve as an eruv between them all? Or between some of them? There are three opinions. Does it depend on whether the partnerships are with the same food item? Does it need to all be in one utensil? Raba and Rav Yosef disagree about how to understand the root of the debate among the tannaim.

This week's shiurim are sponsored by Rabbi Fredda Cohen in honor of her grandchildren, Violet Noa and Remy Meyer, and their great grandmother bubbie Paula Cohen, on the occasion of her 88th birthday. Yom Huledet Sameach. Today's shiur is dedicated by Gary Zeitlin in honor of the 5th yahrzeit of Susan Zeitlin z"l, a "kanai" for her family and for yiddishkeit. And by Oren and Rachel Seliger in memory of Rifka Esther bat Sara Gittel and Yeshaya Halevi z"l on her 10th yahrzeit. She was always engaged in learning and went to weekly shiurim. She would be proud of her children learning daf yomi.

The gemara continues to analyze the cases in the mishna of when relinquishing of rights is effective and when it is not. Abaye asks Rabba whether one needs to relinquish rights to everyone or is it enough to relinquish to one of the people who were part of the eruv? Rabba says one needs to do it to everyone. Abaye disagrees and questions Rabba from a braita and the gemara goes in depth into all the cases in the braita to explain them in general and in accordance with Rabba and Abaye. Rava asks Rav Nachman if one who inherits property on Shabbat can relinquish rights. Rav Nachman says yes, but adds that Shmuel disagrees. Rava brings several sources that seem to go against Rav Nachman. Two are brought in this daf and they are both resolved.

The mishna and the braita have different versions of Rabbi Yehuda's opinion regarding Rabban Gamliel's approach to Sadducees and eruvin. One implies the law regarding Jews is true for them that they can relinquish their rights and the other seems to hold that they are treated as gentiles. How is this contradiction reconciled? What makes someone considered a mumar, an apostate for all laws of the Torah? Is there a different definition for eruv than for other areas of law? If there is a courtyard in which one or more members did not join the eruv, how can one relinquish their rights and what then is permitted in the courtyard? The mishna brings a number of different scenarios and the gemara begins to analyze the different cases.

Today's shiur is dedicated in memory of Rana Samuels Ofran z"l on her yahrzeit by Erin Piateski.

The gemara brings several cases where they had heated water before Shabbat for a baby for the brit milah and it spilled. In each case, they found a solution for how to get more water, either by carrying from a nearby courtyard, even though there was no eruv (by asking a gentile to move the water or by having someone relinquish rights) or by heating water for the mother if she was still considered in danger. Can one relinquish rights to another and then the other person can relinquish their rights back? Rav and Shmuel disagree about this. Is their debate connected to a tannitic debate? Is a Sadducee treated like a gentile for laws of eruv or like a Jew? There is a debate between Rabban Gamliel and the rabbis about this.

Today's daf is dedicated in honor of Sam Cohen, starting a year of shlichut in Germany. Wishing you only the best and may we continue to strengthen each other and continue daf yomi. Also thank you to our amazing teacher who constantly makes complicated sugiout comprehensible and relatable. Ben and Shai.

Rav Chisda asks Rav Sheshet two questions regarding situations that changed over Shabbat regarding gentiles (the gentile fenced in two houses that were previously separated by a public domain or the gentile died on Shabbat) would relinquishing of rights be allowed? A gentile who lives in the same alleyway as Jews but has a separate smaller entrance, can one assume the gentile prefers that entrance and is not considered part of the shared alleyway and therefore one would not need to rent the space from the gentile. On what does it depend? What are laws regarding a karpaf when it comes to carrying from the public domain into it, if it is larger than beit sa'atayim and considered a carmelit. Rabbi Yochanan says it is still viewed as a private domain for those purposes and one would be obligated by Torah law. A braita is brought to contradict and Rava and Rav Ashi bring two possible answers.

Today's daf is dedicated in memory of Avraham Nachum ben Yitzchak Refael z"l on his yahrzeit. His dedication to Daf Yomi is an inspiration to his family, who continue in his footsteps. And by Debbie and Michael Schreiber in honor of our first grandchild Naomi Frumit to our children Yarden and Adam Schreiber of Jerusalem. May she flourish and grow and may her parents raise her to torah, chuppah and maasim tovim in a home that I know will be filled with love and simcha and Torah learning.

Does Rabbi Yochanan really hold that one can make a rental arrangement on Shabbat with a gentile to allow carrying as happened in the situation at the inn? Didn't Rabbi Yochanan make a comparison between making an eruv (which can only be done on Shabbat) and renting from a gentile? The gemara explains the comparison as regarding other issues and not whether or not it can be done on Shabbat. Shmuel describes differences between cases where there are courtyards and one forbids or doesn't forbid the other and one can or cannot make an eruv with the other and concludes in which circumstances relinquishing rights would be permitted. One of his cases seems to be referring to the case in the inn with the gentile and Shmuel's conclusion contradicts Rabbi Yochanan who allowed relinquishing of rights in that case (after the gentile rented the space to them, they needed to relinquish their rights to one of the Jews as their eruv was nullified). The gemara delves more in depth into Shmuel's approach in some of the cases he mentioned which is based on the concept that relinquishing of rights from one courtyard to another is forbidden. Rava and Abaye disagree regarding the extent to which Shmuel said this? In which cases would be make exceptions?

Is one exempt from prayer, or prayer with the proper intent if one is drunk? Is one who is drunk liable for one's actions in general? Can one get punished for a sin committed while intoxicated? Does it depend on how intoxicated one is? One needs to have intent when praying or issuing a ruling and therefore one should make sure to be focused, and in a good mood, etc. Wine can have both positive and negative effects on people. One's true character is revealed through one's cup (drinking wine), one's pocket (business dealings) and one's anger. Some say: also one's laughter. If a Jew and gentile are living in an inner courtyard and a Jew by himself in the outer courtyard, is the outer courtyard considered like one Jew living with a non-Jew or two, meaning would he need to rent the space from the gentile or not? What about the reverse case - a Jew on the inside and a Jew and gentile in the outer courtyard? What if the gentile rents the space and is not there, can one rent from the landlord? If the gentile is not there before Shabbat but shows up on Shabbat, can one arrange the "rental" from the gentile on Shabbat in order to permit carrying?

Rava did not agree with Abaye's solution in the alley where the non-Jew Lachman bar Ristak lived. He suggested an alternative solution. Rav Yehuda said two halachot in the name of Shmuel - one regarding a hired laborer or gatherer of a non-Jew can join the eruv on behalf of the non-Jew's property and one regarding one who drinks a quarter log of wine cannot teach/rule on halachic issues. Rav Nachman said that one thing he said was good and the other was not. He was reprimanded by Rava for speaking in that manner. Can one pray after one drank wine? Is there a difference if one just drank some wine or if one is drunk? Where does one draw the line? One who falls into money in a relatively easy manner, what can one do to prevent losing it? Walking a mil (2,000 cubits) or a bit of sleep helps on to become sober. The gemara brings a long story from a braita about Rabban Gamliel who went three mil after drinking before annuling someone's vow. Why three and not one? Various other laws are derived and discussed from this story such as picking up food that is thrown on the street, sitting while annuling vows, etc.

Today's daf is dedicated to Ariella Radwin. Happy Birthday Ariella, the Talmud scholar of the Radwin family! We are so proud of your commitment to study the daf yomi and to share your love of Torah and learning in our house.

A student cannot teach a halacha in front of his rabbi. Can he check a shechita knife for himself without asking his rabbi? Can he teach a halacha if his rabbi is not there? Or if he is not in the rabbi's hometown? Or if he is a colleague? Can one reprimand someone doing something wrong if his rabbi is there? Nadav and Avihu were killed for teaching a halacha in front of Moshe. One cannot give all of one's gifts to the priests to one particular priest - it will cause famine in the world (proof from King David). Elazar the priest was also punished for teaching in front of Moshe. Why was Yehoshua punished that he did not have sons - was it also for this reason or because he prevented the nation from being able to reproduce by keeping them in battle at night thus preventing the men from coming home to their wives. The gemara gets back to the topic of eruv chatzerot and brings a story where there was a non-Jew named Lachman bar Ristak who was living in a courtyard with Jews and would not rent out his property to them. What was suggested that they do and was this a valid suggestion?

Eruvin 62 - Shabbat, Shmini Atzeret, Oct. 10, 22 Tishrei Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

What are the laws regarding carrying in a courtyard where a Jew and a non-Jew are living? Does it matter if it is one Jew or two Jews living there? On what principles are these laws based? The gemara discusses the importance of the law to not teach a halacha if there is a more senior rabbi there - he should be the one to answer the question.
