Study Guide Eruvin 3

Today’s daf is sponsored by Debby & Howard Jacoby Ruben in honor of our wise mothers, aunts, sisters, and daughters from whom we have learned so much. And by Joyce Bendavid in honor of Gail Stechler and Dena Levie for spearheading the Teaneck Hadran group. It was an honor to celebrate the Siyum for Masechet Shabbat with them. And by Tamar Wenocur-Hartmayer, to my chevrutah, Jeremy Rudoler, in honor of our siyum of Masechet Chagiga on Sunday. Mazal tov on starting graduate school this fall! Delaware is lucky to have you.
