תלמוד על סוכה 2:1

“Or where the sunshine is larger than the shade is disqualified;” therefore half and half is qualified. “A wilted sukkah¹¹⁷Arabic ד̇בל “wilting”. Probably it does not mean actually wilting but apt to wilt. whose shade is more than its sunshine is qualified.¹¹⁸Mishnah 2:3. If it only is qualified if the shade is more than the sunshine, half and half is disqualified.” Here you are saying it is qualified, there you are saying it is disqualified. The rabbis of Caesarea, Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: It is different for a tree which usually is spreading¹¹⁹If the material used for the thatching is apt to wilt, one has to be restrictive from the start..

There, we have stated⁹⁸Mishnah Sukkah 2:4. A booth (sukkah) for Tabernacles must have a thatched roof and at least three walls. Up to two walls can be tree trunks. Since biblically one is forbidden to cut or pluck anything from a tree on a holiday, rabbinically one is forbidden to climb on it. The Mishnah permits the use of the trunks as walls on the intermediate days of Tabernacles but not on the holiday.: “Two human-made and one a tree, or two as trees and one human-made is valid but one may not enter it on the holiday.” [Here you are saying it is valid but one may not enter it on the holiday]⁹⁹Added from G (and the parallel in Sukkah). but there you are saying his eruv is a [valid] eruv and it is permitted to move it⁹⁷If the food is on the bench, one may tilt the bench, the food falls down and is accessible. In this and the preceding case the prohibition of transporting cannot apply to the food.. Rebbi Jeremiah said, one on top, the other at the side¹⁰⁰Since the roof must be on top of the walls, in the case of the Mishnah it must rest on the top of the trees (or top of branches) which is rabbinically forbidden. But the basket is on the side of the trunk and the statement follows the opinion that the sides of tree trunks may be used on Sabbaths and holidays.. This learns from that and that learns from this. This learns from that, if there were two pegs protruding and he thatched over them it is valid and one uses it on the holiday¹⁰¹Šabbat Chapter 5 Notes 39–43. Cf. Babli Šabbat 154b.. That learns from this, if he put it on a tree branch his eruv is a [valid] eruv and it is forbidden to move it¹⁰²This is the corrector’s text. The scribe wrote correctly אין “you cannot consider …”.. Rebbi Yose said, in both cases it is at the side. How is that? As Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira: This is Rebbi Eleazar ben Simon’s, as Rebbi Eleazar ben Simon says, one is permitted to use the sides of an animal on the Sabbath. There is no difference between sides of an animal and sides of a tree¹⁰³This refers to the statement in Mishnah 3 that an eruv in a cistern always is valid. If the cistern is surrounded by public domain, it is a separate private domain. How can anybody have an eruv in a domain different from where he would be on the Sabbath? The answer is that the cistern must be dry and he intends to take the bottom of the cistern as his place of Sabbath rest..
