Halakhah for Eruvin 39:19

מותר להקריב לבאר וכו': תנן התם לא יעמוד אדם ברשות הרבים וישתה ברשות היחיד ברשות היחיד וישתה ברשות הרבים אלא אם כן מכניס ראשו ורובו למקום שהוא שותה

But [this, it may be contended, was already] once said [by] R'Eleazar. For have we not learnt: R'Judah ruled: If a public road cuts through then,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The boards around a well.');"><sup>40</sup></span> it should be diverted to [one of the] sides,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since, otherwise, the validity of the enclosure as a private domain would be destroyed on account of the public road.');"><sup>41</sup></span> and the Sages ruled: This was not necessary;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Shab. 6b, infra 22a.');"><sup>42</sup></span> and both R'Johanan and R'Eleazar remarked: Here they<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So MS.M. and Rashi. Cur. edd. 'he etc.'');"><sup>43</sup></span> informed you of the unassailable validity<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'their strength'.');"><sup>44</sup></span> of partitions?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Infra 22a; which even the crossing by many people does not affect. Why then should R. Eleazar repeat the same principle?');"><sup>45</sup></span> - If [the principle had to be derived] from there<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The statement attributed to R. Johanan and R. Eleazar.');"><sup>46</sup></span> it might have been presumed that only 'Here [etc.]';<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. that R. Eleazar was merely pointing out the implication of the view of the Sages.');"><sup>47</sup></span> but that he himself is not of the same opinion; hence we were told<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By his ruling here.');"><sup>48</sup></span> [that not only] 'Here [etc.],' but he himself also is of the same opinion. Then why did he not state this ruling and there would have been no need for the other?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Here etc.'');"><sup>49</sup></span> - The one was derived from the other. IT IS PERMITTED TO BRING [THE STRIPS] CLOSE TO THE WELL etc. Elsewhere we learned: A man must not stand in a public domain and drink in a private domain, or in a private one and drink in a public one, unless he puts his head and the greater part of his body into the domain in which he drinks,

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

On Shabbos and Yom Tov1For it is written, “A man shall not go out from his place on the seventh day.” (Exodus 16: 29) See Maseches Eiruvin 17b. There is a question if this law is Biblical or a Rabbinic enactment. it is forbidden2Some poskim rule that Yom Tov and Shabbos are equal regarding boundaries, and others say that the laws of boundaries on Yom Tov are only derabanan, (Rabbinically ordained). to walk more than 2, 000 amos from the place you were3This refers to your place of dwelling which is determined by where you are when Shabbos begins; you then acquire shevisah. at the onset of Shabbos. This is [in addition] to the space a person occupies which is four4The space the person occupies is not included in the 2, 000 amos. Mishnah Berurah 396: 8 rules that with regard to techumin a person’s place is not four by four amos, but rather, eight by eight amos. amos. This is true only if you happen to be in the field at twilight,5Or, if you left the techum on Shabbos, in which case you must stop and remain in your place until the end of Shabbos. but if you stayed in a city6Even if the city has no surrounding wall. [Shulchan Aruch Harav 396] [at the onset of Shabbos,] then the entire city is considered your place of residence. The outskirts of the city are also considered part of the city. What are the outskirts [of the city]? An area of seventy and two third amos.7See Maseches Eiruvin 57a. [This area] is considered part of the city, even though there are no buildings there. This is called the karpeif8Means park or yard, or enclosure. [enclosure] of the city. It is from the edge of this area that we begin to measure the techum Shabbos.
