Can one accept charity from non Jews? What are the minimum sizes of courtyards, fields and gardens to be able to insist that one who the property is shared with needs to split it into 2 separate parts. The same is discussed to various other items – bath house, hallway, tallit, etc. Only a sefer Torah can never be split. A discussion ensues regarding the size for a courtyard (4 square cubits) – does it include the entranceway or not? each house gets an additional 4 cubits outside their door for unloading, If one house has more doors, do they get more of the courtyard – how exactly does it get divided? Various other situations are discussed – if there is a portico and one would not need space to unlaod as one can use the portico, etc. Law regarding shared courtyards that lead to an alleyway are discussed – does one have the right to open an entrance to a different alleyway without the approval of those who already have access to the alleyway. Can one close up an entrance from his courtyard to the alleyway because it may cause others to walk more of a distance to get to the alleyway? Does or does it not depend on whether he is on the inner part of the alleyway and therefore others don’t go through there anyway?
