An objection was raised: 'The Sages, however, ruled: Either 'erub or shittuf is enough'. Does not this mean that it is permissible to prepare an 'erub in a courtyard with bread or arrange shittuf in an alley with wine?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And either presumably suffices for both alley and courtyards. How then is this to be reconciled with the second view that 'in the case of wine no one disputes the ruling that the two are necessary'?');">⁵</span> - R'Giddal citing Rab replied: It is this that was meant: Either an 'erub for the courtyards<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So MS.
