Eruvin (literally, “mixtures” referring to the symbolic combination of separate domains) is the second tractate in Seder Moed (Order of Festivals) and consists of ten chapters. It serves as a continuation of tractate Shabbat, discussing the rabbinic enactments - namely, ritual enclosures and designated food items - that legally expand the areas in which one can carry and travel on Shabbat.
