Rabbi Yehuda in eiruvin holds that a mechitza teluyah is valid for separating courtyards. Summary Rabbah bar bar Chana quoting Rabbi Yochanan: Rabbi Yehuda is following the opinion of Rabbi Yosi. But it’s not so. Rabbi Yehuda doesn’t necessarily agree with Rabbi Yosi. Rabbi Yosi doesn’t necessarily agree with Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Yehuda teaches that a mechitza teluyah is valid with regard to an eiruv between two courtyards which is a d’rabbanan. He wouldn’t hold this way regarding sukkah which is a d’orayso. Rabbi Yosi teaches that a mechitza teluyah is valid with regard to sukkah which is a mitzvas asei (there’s no punishment for neglecting it). He wouldn’t hold this way regarding Shabbos which is a question of skilah. Challenge: Wasn’t a mechitza teluyah used in Tzipori once on Shabbos? (Tzipori was Rabbi Yosi’s city. So we see that Rabbi Yosi held that a mechitza teluyah is valid even on Shabbos). Resolution: That story occurred when Tzipori was under the leadership of Rabbi Yishmael B’rebbi Yosi. The story in Tzipori: When Rav Dimi came from Eretz Yisroel (see 10.2), he brought a report: They once forgot to bring the sefer Torah to the Beis Haknesses before Shabbos, so they spread out curtains on poles to create a new reshus, and they brought the sefer. Challenge: How did they bring the sheets on Shabbos if they couldn’t carry?! Resolution: The sheets had been hanging from before Shabbos. (But they were a mechitza teluyah).
