Ki Tisa25

1And the Lord spoke unto Moses: “Go, get thee down” (Exod. 32:7). May our masters teach us: If a person sends his eruv [Through the legal procedure known as eruv (“mixing”), various private domains are amalgamated so as to permit certain activities, such as carrying, that are prohibited on the Sabbath and the festivals.] by means of a deaf mute, a fool, or a child, is his eruv considered a legal one? Thus do our masters teach us: If one sends his eruv by means of a deaf mute, a fool, or a child, his eruv is not a legal one. Shame upon the man who sends a fool as his messenger to the King, as it is said: He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off his own feet and drinketh damage (Prov. 26:6).
