When an eruv is invalidated and someone comes to fix it using a different type of food than the original, and the original food is completely gone, must he notify the residents if he uses their food? What if he uses his own food?
Synopsis
If the original eruv food is completely gone and a different type is used, notification is required when using their food. When using one's own food, notification is not required according to most opinions, though some Rishonim require it even then.
