Zelhar:

--- Quote from: Tag-MehirTzedek on June 04, 2012, 11:19:34 AM --- Zelhar- maybe they had a fence etc.

 Dan- Yes. Or another way of dealing with this is to have a sort of combination lock that opens the house. Not sure how to describe it properly but I have seen this before.

So I checked with him and indeed he wasn't allowed to carry. What he did is called "eruv tchumin" which is not the same as "eruv chazerim" aka "eruv".

Lol, so?  Many stupid things have been done in the past. 

Anyway, you are kidding, right?

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Wow, dan ben noah, is this your own translation?  That's a lot of work.  Thank you for posting all this.  Mechon mamre should hire you, I've been waiting for years for their promised english translation of MT to come out.

--- Quote from: Dan Ben Noah on June 04, 2012, 05:35:12 AM ---Here's a question, if a Jew is not permitted to carry a key outside the home on the Sabbath, how do you lock your house while you're at shul, especially in a place like New York City where people might actually try to get inside while you're gone?

--- End quote ---

I've seen chasidim wear the key tied around their waist like its a garment.  That's kind of pushing it though.

I've seen some people hide their key somewhere on their porch.  I've seen others get these combo locks on their front doors which just require pushing buttons, so no need to carry a key.   Others use an eruv if available.   When its not available and you have only a key lock, yea that is tricky because leaving your key under a flower pot in nyc isn't exactly safe.
