Does an ember (coal) taken from another person on Yom Tov follow the giver's or the taker's boundary? What about a flame lit from another's fire?
Synopsis
An ember (which has physical substance) follows the giver's boundary. A flame lit from another's fire follows the boundary of the person who lit it, since flame has no physical substance and cannot acquire shevita from the original owner.
