The First Wedding

Eruvin 18a

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

They said to him: They spoke of a space of two se'ah only with regard to a garden or an enclosure, but if it was a pen, or a corral, or a backyard, or a courtyard, then even an area for sowing five kor, even an area for sowing ten kor, is permitted. Shall we say that our mishnah is not in accordance with Hananya? For it was taught: One may make upright boards around a cistern, and ropes around a caravan. But Hananya says: Ropes around a cistern, but not upright boards.
