Does a group of three Jews using inferior partitions qualify as a 'caravan' (shayara) allowing unrestricted carrying regardless of area size?

4 opinions

When three people using inferior partitions as a caravan leave an unused empty area of two se'ah, does the threshold for restriction depend on whether the total enclosure exceeds six se'ah?

5 opinions across 3 eras

If one of three caravan members dies on Shabbat (reducing the count below three), does the enclosure remain permitted for carrying throughout the rest of Shabbat?

3 opinions

If only two people are present at the onset of Shabbat (enclosing more than two se'ah) and a third person joins during Shabbat to complete a caravan quorum, does the enclosure become permitted?

3 opinions

When three adjacent enclosures with inferior partitions share an eruv, and the outer ones are wider than the middle (so the middle is fully breached into the outer ones), what are the carrying permissions?

5 opinions

When three adjacent enclosures share an eruv and the outer ones are narrower (outer fully open to the middle, middle has protruding walls) with one person in each, what carrying is permitted?

3 opinions

In adjacent enclosures (one person per outer, two in the middle or two per outer with one in the middle), what carrying is permitted when the outer ones are narrower and fully open to the wider middle?

3 opinions

If the opening between adjacent enclosures exceeds ten handbreadths, does this constitute a breach that forbids carrying even in a walled (meguphaf) enclosure?
