[If a man says to his neighbour.] `I am herem to you,` the muddar is forbidden [to derive benefit]. `you are herem to me,` the maddir is forbidden. I am [herem] to you, and you are [herem] to me, both are prohibited. Both are permitted [to enjoy the use of] those things which belong to those who came up from Babylon [to Palestine], but are forbidden [the use of] things that belong to that town. |

Now, what are the things that belong to them that came up from Babylon? E.g., the Temple Mount, the courts of the Temple and the well on the midroad. What are the things that belong to that town, e.g., the public square, the bath-house, the Synagogue, the Ark [in which the sacred scrolls were kept] and The Books [of the Law], and [the estate of] him who assigns his portion to the Nasi. R. Judah said: it is the same whether he assigns it to the Nasi or to a private individual, but what is the difference? If he assigns it to the Nasi, he need not [formally] confer title; whilst in the case of an individual it is necessary to confer title. But the Sages maintain: formal grant of title is necessary in both cases; they mentioned the Nasi in particular as this is usual. R. Judah said: the Galileans need not assign [their portion], because their ancestors have already done so for them. |
