It is forbidden to walk beyond one's Techum location on Shabbat, Yom Tov, or Yom Kippur.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 396:1, 495:1, 611:1. [https://ph.yhb.org.il/12-06-04/ Peninei Halacha] discusses why the allowance for ochel nefesh doesn't permit going beyond the techum on Yom Tov even for ochel nefesh.</ref> In general, the techum is a 2000 [[Amot]] beyond the immediate 4 [[amot]] area around a person.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 397:1, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 95:1. Mishna Brurah 397:1 writes that some hold that walking beyond 12 [[mil]] on shabbat is a Biblical prohibition, while others consider it a rabbinic prohibition.</ref> | |||
