When a person's eruv measurement exactly reaches or exits the end of a city, does the entire city count as four cubits, allowing him to complete his full 2000-cubit measure beyond the city?
Synopsis
If a person's eruv measurement ends exactly at the city's edge or exits beyond it, the city is treated as four cubits and he may complete his 2000-cubit measure beyond the city. The question is whether the city's ibur (surrounding extension) counts for this purpose.
