Question
Hello, in the north there is an eruv combining several settlements from Safsufa to Meron. In the middle, there is a large area of vegetation. Does this prohibit carrying due to the law of karpaf?
Answer
Hello
If there is an area within the enclosed space the size of a Beit Sa'atayim [50x100 cubits, approximately 25x50 meters] of fields or similar, which are not intended for use as a path or resting place, they invalidate the eruv.
In stringent kashrut certifications, these areas are surrounded by a 'Tzurat HaPetach' so that they are not included in the eruv area.
