Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn that once the meal is considered to have been concluded, one is prohibited from eating any longer until he recites birchas hamazon.  Rashi makes it clear that he cannot eat even if he should choose to make a new bracha.  What is the essence of this prohibition?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn that a Reshus Harabim is an area without walls, similar to the Midbar.  The Gemara in Shabbos (97b) says that the Machane of Levi was a Reshus Harabim; how can an area surrounded by tents be considered a Reshus Harabim?

Eruvin 50 – עירובין נ

In the case of the unspecified Eruv under the tree, it works according to Shmuel, since there is but one eruv actually being activated.  But in the case of a double-eruv placement (shetei ruchos) why should any of them work?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

Keitzad me’abrin – what is the significance to whether it is spelled with an ‘Alef’ (denoting limbs) or an ‘Ayin’ (expectant woman)?

Rebbi Yehoshua refrained from the salty beans, explaining that he had already eaten.  This (untruth) was permitted to avoid embarrassing his host.  But would she not realize (at some later point when consuming the beans) that he had simply avoided the salty dish?

The Gemara says that a Beis Sha’ar of a Yachid can house the Eruv, although one who resides there does not have to contribute to an Eruv.  Since generally these two concepts go hand in hand, how can we differentiate in this instance?
