# It is forbidden to walk to the edge of the Techum in order to leave on a journey quickly after Shabbat. However, if the action one is going to do after [[Shabbat]] could theoretically have been done on [[Shabbat]], it is not forbidden to walk tot the edge of the Techum waiting for the end of [[Shabbat]]. For example, one may walk to the edge of the Techum in order to bring one's animal back because theoretically one could have done this on Shabbat if there were houses extending the Techum. Also one may walk to the edge of the Techum in order to collect fruit which fell before [[Shabbat]] and aren't [[Muktzeh]] because theoretically one could have done so on [[Shabbat]] if there were walls surrounding the path (which would permit [[carrying on Shabbat]]). <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 90:3</ref> | # It is forbidden to walk to the edge of the Techum in order to leave on a journey quickly after Shabbat.

==Techum above Ten Tefachim== | |||
# There is an unresolved discussion in the Gemara whether there is techum above ten tefachim. We are lenient if a person started Shabbat above ten tefachim that he doesn't have a techum of two thousand amot as long as he didn't yet land or reach a place that is connected to the ground.<ref>Gemara Eruvin 43a-b, Shulchan Aruch OC 404:1</ref> This is relevant to a person who was on a boat at the beginning of Shabbat.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 404:1</ref> | |||
# A wagon is considered within ten tefachim of the ground since the wheels rest on the ground and the wagon itself if bigger than 4 tefachim.<ref>Shoel Umeishiv 5:3</ref> | |||

# A barrel that belongs to two people that was split up on Yom Tov, each part has the techum of the owner of that half even though it was only split up on Yom Tov.<ref> The Gemara Beitzah 37b records a dispute between Rav and Shmuel whether we hold of the concept of berierah. Berierah is that we can view an eventual decision as though it already happened to clarify what is the case now. Rav holds of it and Shmuel does not. The gemara’s conclusion (38a) is that for derabbanan concepts we hold of Berierah. This is codified by the Rambam (Yom Tov 5:20) and Shulchan Aruch 397:10.</ref> | # A barrel that belongs to two people that was split up on Yom Tov, each part has the techum of the owner of that half even though it was only split up on Yom Tov.<ref> The Gemara Beitzah 37b records a dispute between Rav and Shmuel whether we hold of the concept of berierah.
