What is the status of a lechi drawn along the length of the alleyway wall?
Synopsis
A lechi that runs lengthwise along the alleyway wall (rather than across the opening) is problematic; in a narrow alleyway under four cubits, it functions as a lechi; in a wider alleyway it is treated as part of the wall and the alleyway is forbidden.
