Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Gemara speaks about a jointly owned area (wall, trench) which is granted exclusively to one Chatzer. How can one Chatzer rightfully acquire sole possession of a jointly owned area?
The alternative is that none of them can use it. Kofin Al Middas Sedom.
Why does the basin or any of the items used to lessen the Hight of the wall have to be 4×4 tefachim ? can’t it be just the width 4 Tefachim? Does the steps of the ladder also need to be 4 Tefachim wide and 4 Tefachim deep?
Good question.
Rashi’s shita is that 4×4 is not necessary by anything (except by the the ziz/ledge). As long as extends 4 tefachim along the (length of the) wall it qualifies as a shiur pesach. Same with the ladder rungs. For tefachim wide is enough.
