Can one resident contribute the eruv on behalf of all others, and how must the zikui (conferral of ownership) be performed?
Synopsis
One resident may contribute eruv bread for all, provided he formally confers ownership to the others via a third party. The conferral must be made explicitly for all current and future residents. There is a dispute whether future residents are automatically included by beit din's implicit condition.
