Eruvin

Eruvin (Hebrew: "mixtures") is the plural for Eruv.
* Eruv, which allows Jews what to carry outdoors on Shabbat
* Eruv tavshilin, which allows Jews to cook on a Friday Yom Tov to prepare for Shabbat
* Eruv techumin, which allows Jews to walk beyond the boundary outside their city on Shabbat.
These three procedures allow certain activities in Jewish law which would otherwise be forbidden by a rabbinical rule.
The Talmud devotes an entire tractate to the subject of eruv titled eruvin which addresses the eruv chatzerot, "mixed [ownership of] domains", and eruv techumin, "mixed borders". It does not address the eruv tavshilin, which is covered in elsewhere in the Talmud, in tractate Beitzah.
