daf bit: Eruvin 90
Jun. 6th, 2013 09:02 amThe g'mara on today's daf discusses the application of eiruv boundaries
to ships. Can you carry on a ship? Rab says yes (even if it is very
large) because it has walls. Shmuel says no, because those walls weren't
made for dwelling purposes but rather to keep water out. However, when
asked, Shmuel conceded that the law is according to Rab. (90a-b)
Someone at minyan this morning pointed out that modern cruise ships probably are intended as dwellings, and wondered what Shmuel would say about that.
