R’ Yehudah says: [If before] Rosh Hashanah there was concern lest [Elul] be full, a person may make two eruvin and declare, ‘‘My eruv for the first is to the east, and for the second to the west’’; ‘‘For the first to the west, and for the second to the east’’; ‘‘My eruv is for the first, but for the second [I am] as my townspeople’’; [or] ‘‘My eruv is for the second, but for the first [I am] as my townspeople.’’ But the Sages did not agree with him.
