When five groups share a large hall divided by partitions not reaching the ceiling, how many eruvim are required?
Synopsis
If partitions do not reach the ceiling the hall is treated as one unit and a single eruv suffices for all groups (when there are other courtyard residents). If partitions reach the ceiling, each group needs its own eruv contribution — unless the eruv is placed in the hall itself.
