==Definition of the 4 domains== | |||
# There is a categorization of 4 domains on Shabbat: the Reshut HaRabim (private domain), Reshut HaYachid (public domain), intermediate area (Karmelit), and exempt area (Makom Patur).<ref>Kitzur S"A 81:1</ref> | |||
# A Reshut HaYachid is defined as an area of at least 4 Tefachim by 4 Tefachim surrounded by walls of at least 10 Tefachim. This includes a pit which is 4x4 Tefachim with walls of 10 Tefachim.<ref>Kitzur 81:2</ref> | |||
# A Reshut HaRabim is defined as a street which is 16 amot wide. Some say that if there's not 600,000 people passing through it daily it's not a Reshut HaRabim. <ref>Kitzur S"A 81:3</ref> | |||
# A Karmelit is defined as an area of 4 Techaim by 4 Tefachim with walls which are less than 10 Tefachim in height. It also includes areas where the public doesn't walk and doesn't have proper fencing such as fields, or rivers which are 10 Tefachim deep.<ref>Kitzur S"A 81:4</ref> | |||
# A Makom Patur is a place which is less than 4 Tefachim by 4 Tefachim but is of at least 3 Tefachim in height. They are only a Makom Patur when placed in a Reshut HaRabim, but in a Karmelit they are considered like a Karmelit. <ref>Kitzur S"A 81:5</ref> | |||

# A person who is hard of hearing may wear a hearing-aid on [[Shabbat]], even in a public domain without an eruv. One need not be concerned with considerations of electricity or carrying as long as the hearing-aid is securely in his ear, and he turned it on before [[Shabbat]] and left it on until after [[Shabbat]]. <ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kehilchata (perek 18 halacha 14), Yalkut Yosef (siman 328 seif 328 and siman 301 seif 38). See footnote 39 there where he quotes Hacham Ovadiah, Rav Shlomoh Zalamn Auerbach, Rav Henkin, and the Tzitz Eleizer who ruled leniently as well. </ref> | # A person who is hard of hearing may wear a hearing-aid on [[Shabbat]], even in a public domain without an eruv.
