==Eruv Chatzerot== | |||
#In order to carry from a house to a courtyard on Shabbat it is necessary to make an Eruv Chatzerot. An Eruv is a joint partnership of food from those who live in the courtyard to signify that they all live together where that food is placed. Shlomo Hamelech instituted this enactment because of a concern that people would come to carry in a reshut harabbim, public thoroughfare. Just like a courtyard is jointly owned and it is permitted to carry from a house there, so too people might think that it is permitted to carry from a house to the reshut harabbim. This institution of Eruv Chatzerot helps remind people that they may carry in the courtyard because they all live together in one place.<ref>Tur 366:1, Rambam Eruvin 1:4, Mishna Brurah 366:2</ref> | |||
# An eruv chatzerot must be made with bread<ref>Eruvin 81a, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 366:7</ref> or pat haba bkisnin.<ref>Brachot 42a, Darkei Moshe 366:1 quoting Rabbenu Yerucham, Aruch Hashulchan 366:15. Shevet Halevi 11:103 wonders why the poskim by eruvin didn't codify this halacha. He answers that they didn't because it is obvious since even rice bread is acceptable for an eruv (S"A 366:7).</ref> | |||
# The food for the eruv should be placed in one vessel, but if that vessel overflows it is fine to put in two vessels.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 366:7</ref> | |||
