Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn in the Mishna that performing half of the melacha of carrying is an issur derabanan but not min hatorah.  Why is it not assur min hatorah, since we know that even a ‘chatzi shiur assur min hatorah’ (i.e. eating half a kezayis of prohibited food)?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara tells us that a person may not transgress in order to prevent his friend from sinning.  This implies that one may do so for his own benefit.  Since we know that ‘kol yisrael areivin ze lazeh’ and that all Jews are responsible for one another in the same way as they are responsible for themselves, why then would he not be permitted to do for a friend exactly as he would for himself?

Just as you can hang something on one nail (on the Amud) why can’t the same be done with many?

Tosfos (D”h Asheira) writes that there is a machlokes whether you can use issur hana’a for eruv.  How can one explain such a machlokes?
