Today's daf is dedicated by Rabbi Julie Danan in memory of a beloved friend, Rabbi Dr. Sarah Tauber, a brilliant teacher and scholar who will be sorely missed by a wide circle of family, friends, and communities.

The gemara continues to understand the cases brought in the mishna regarding accessibility to one's eruv. The more the gemara delves into it, the more the gemara limits the case of the mishna. Where is the debate between Rebbi and the rabbis regarding whether or not rabbinic prohibitions are in effect during the twilight period. In the braita quoted, there is a halacha regarding a basket attached to a tree and Rebbi allows one to put an eruv there. The gemara questions the reality of the case (dimensions?) and Ravina and Rabbi Yirmia each provide expplanations for teh case. According to Ravina the issue relates to stability of the eruv. According to Rabbi Yirmia, the issue is about accessibility and even though the basket in not in the same "place" as the person, since theoretically it can be tilte dand can be, that is sufficient.
