Question
According to what should the Shabbat boundary of 2000 cubits be measured? Is it based on the actual distance a person walks, or is it an aerial distance, or something else? And from where should I measure it: from the apartment I am in, or from the last house until I reach the place I need (like the synagogue)?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
A. The distance is measured aerially.
B. From the last house in the settlement.
One must be familiar with the area, as sometimes the houses are considered one city, and sometimes the houses are separate from the settlement and are not part of it for the purpose of measurement.
