Azara Defined By Core Dimensions
- The Azara's legal limits depend on the Mishnah's internal dimensions, not external attachments like windows or walls.
- Amoraim debate which adjacent chambers count for eating, shechita, and tumah, revealing nuanced Halachic definitions of the Azara.
Do Openings Extend The Azara?
- The Gemara probes whether windows, doors, or wall thickness extend the Azara's halachic area beyond the Mishnah's measurements.
- Rishonim and the Gemara reject simple extensions and focus on which attached chambers (lishka) gain Azara status.
Some Lishkot Acquire Full Azara Status
- A Baraita and Pesukim teach that certain lishkot built into the Azara and opened to it acquire full Azara status for eating korbanot.
- The Gemara distinguishes which attached rooms carry Kedushat Azara for different laws.
