Out
By: Rinat Primo Illustrations: Eitay Reichert
Itamar is tidying up his room, and throwing out the toys he no longer needs straight to the corridor, and from the corridor to the stairs in his building, and from the stairwell to the street. How does his father teach him that the corridor, stairwell, and even street are "his"?
"One may not clear rocks from their domain to the public domain…"
(Talmud Bavli, Tractate of Baba Kamma, 50b)
The Talmud tells us that a person may not clear rocks from their backyard to the public domain. Shared spaces, or Reshut Harabim, belong to all of us. Rinat Primo gradually takes the readers from the protagonist's home, to their building, and the street, reminding us with a smile that it is our responsibility to keep our surroundings clean and tidy.
