Eruvin, Daf 27

Welcome to the Hundred and Eighty Second episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Alyssa Gray looks at Masechet Eruvin Daf 27.

The mishnah at the bottom of 26b opens with a general statement: Everything (food) may be used to establish an eruv or effect a shittuf mavo’y except for water and salt. Rishonim disagree as to what type of eruv the mishnah is referring to. For its part, the Gemara is interested—as is its wont—in probing the mishnah’s term “everything.” The Bavli sugya contains a puzzlement, which critical Talmudic analysis might help explain.
