When courtyard residents all eat at one table, do they need to make a separate eruv with each other?
Synopsis
All authorities agree that residents who eat at one table are like members of one household and require no eruv among themselves. The Rema extends this to multiple homeowners eating in one room at separate tables, as long as no permanent partition divides them.
