DAF DISCUSSIONS - ERUVIN 8

Ruben Weiser asked:

way in 8b in the picture by artscroll(shottenstein edition) the (nadal) has a horizontal tzurat a petach in the bent of the large mavoi with the last small one?

and not in diagonal to solve also the large mavoi problem. it leaves the large open mavoi only with a lechi.

and in page 6 the picture also by artscroll is with the tzurat a petach in diagonal.

thanks a lot

The Kollel replies:

Dear Ruben,

On daf 6 there is one Mavoi with a bend. If we relate to it as Mefulash, then it needs a Tzuras Hapesach in the diagonal,

On 8b we have a one large Mavoi with several small M'vo'ot protuding from its side. Each small Mavoi is taken care of with a Lechi and Tzuras Hapesach, including the small Mavoi on the far right. The main large Mavoi is actually closed on its back side, and with a small entrance in the back right which is closed with a Tzuras Hapesach. It is therefore also closed.

All the best
