עירובין פרק ג׳ משנה ז׳

During the time period when the Jewish calendar was established by the court according to the testimony of witnesses who had seen the new moon, Rosh HaShana would be observed for only one day if witnesses arrived on that day, and for two days if witnesses failed to arrive and the month of Elul was declared to be an extended, thirty-day month. Rabbi Yehuda says: With regard to Rosh HaShana, if one feared that the month of Elul might be extended, and he wanted to travel in two different directions on the two days that could be Rosh HaShana, this person may establish two eiruvin and say: My eiruv on the first day shall be to the east and on the second day to the west, or alternatively: On the first day it shall be to the west, and on the second day to the east. Similarly, he may say: My eiruv shall apply on the first day, but on the second day I shall be like the rest of the inhabitants of my town, or alternatively: My eiruv shall apply on the second day, but on the first day I shall be like the rest of the inhabitants of my town. And the Rabbis did not agree with him that the two days of Rosh HaShana can be divided in such a manner.
רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה, שֶׁהָיָה יָרֵא שֶׁמָּא תִּתְעַבֵּר, מְעָרֵב אָדָם שְׁנֵי עֵרוּבִין וְאוֹמֵר, עֵרוּבִי בָרִאשׁוֹן לַמִּזְרָח וּבַשֵּׁנִי לַמַּעֲרָב, בָּרִאשׁוֹן לַמַּעֲרָב וּבַשֵּׁנִי לַמִּזְרָח. עֵרוּבִי בָּרִאשׁוֹן, וּבַשֵּׁנִי כִּבְנֵי עִירִי. עֵרוּבִי בַּשֵּׁנִי, וּבָרִאשׁוֹן כִּבְנֵי עִירִי. וְלֹא הוֹדוּ לוֹ חֲכָמִים:

שמא תעבר – lest the Great Jewish Court would make Elul a leap month (i.e., adding a 30th day to what is ordinarily only 29 days), and there will be two Holy Days, the thirtieth of Elul and the thirty-first, and he would need to go on the first day to one side and on the second day to the other side by making two Eruvin, and place them on the eve of Yom Tov, one on this side and the other on the other and say, etc. (i.e., that my Eruv for the first day will be in one direction and my Eruv for the second day will be in the other direction – like in the previous Mishnah).

ולא הודו לו חכמים – for they hold that it is one [day] of holiness. And the Halakha is according to the Sages regarding the two holy days of Rosh Hashanah. But not because doubt alone they established this lest the Jewish Court should sanctify the thirtieth day or the thirty-first day (as Rosh Hashanah/Rosh Hodesh), and one of them is a weekday. But because lest witnesses should come from the time of Minha/afternoon and beyond (and state that they saw the New Moon), and they would observe that day as holy and the morrow as holy and both of them would be one holiness. But, the rest of the Holy Days of the Diaspora, that they did not establish other than from doubt, for we don’t know when the Great Jewish Court sanctified the month, the Sages agree with Rabbi Yehuda that they are two [days of] holiness. And the Sages that are mentioned here are Rabbi Yossi.

שמא תתעבר. שמא יעשו ב״ד הגדול אלול מעובר ויהיו ב׳ ימים טובים, יום ל׳ של אלול ויום ל״א, והוא צריך לילך בראשון לצד אחד ובשני לצד אחר מערב שני עירובין ומניחן בערב יו״ט זה לכאן וזה לכאן ואומר וכו׳:

ולא הודו לו חכמים. דקסברי קדושה אחת הן. והלכה כחכמים בשני ימים טובים של ראש השנה. דלאו משום ספיקא בלבד אתקן שמא קדשו ב״ד את יום שלשים או יום ל״א ואחד מהם חול, אלא משום דשמא באו עדים מן המנחה ולמעלה, שנוהגין אותו היום קודש ולמחר קודש ותרוייהו קדושה אחת. אבל בשאר ימים טובים של גליות דלא אתקון אלא מספיקא דלא ידעינן מתי קדשו בית דין הגדול את החדש, מודים חכמים לרבי יהודה דשתי קדושות הן. וחכמים האמורים כאן הוא רבי יוסי:

And Rabbi Yehuda said further, with regard to the two days of Rosh HaShana that one observes because he does not know which is the real day of the Festival: A person may make a condition with regard to a basket of tevel produce on the first day of the Festival and say as follows: If today is the Festival and tomorrow is an ordinary weekday I will separate the teruma and tithes tomorrow, and I have performed nothing today; if today is an ordinary weekday, I hereby separate the appropriate teruma and tithes now. He may then eat the produce on the second day of the Festival, since one of his two acts of tithing was certainly performed on an ordinary weekday. And similarly, an egg that was laid on the first day of the Festival may be eaten on the second day, since one of the days is certainly an ordinary weekday. And the Rabbis did not agree with him even with regard to these two days.
וְעוֹד אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, מַתְנֶה אָדָם עַל הַכַּלְכָּלָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב רִאשׁוֹן וְאוֹכְלָהּ בַּשֵּׁנִי. וְכֵן בֵּיצָה שֶׁנּוֹלְדָה בָרִאשׁוֹן, תֵּאָכֵל בַּשֵּׁנִי. וְלֹא הוֹדוּ לוֹ חֲכָמִים:

מתנה אדם על הכלכלה – a basket that he has of fruits that are eatables forbidden the separation of sacred gifts, he makes a condition about the on the first Holy Day of Rosh Hashanah and states, “if today is a weekday, this will be heave offering on these, but if today is a Holy Day [of Rosh Hashanah], there is nothing in my words,” for we don’t collect heave-offering/Terumah on Yom Tov. And on the morrow, he states, “if yesterday was Holy and today is a weekday, may this that I stated yesterday regarding this [produce] be heave-offering on this, but if today is a Holy Day and yesterday was a weekday, it already was heave-offering/Terumah. And he consumes the basket containing chosen fruits that is designated and leaves over the Terumah/heave-offering.

ולא הודו לו חכמים – this is Rabbi Yossi as we stated (see previous Mishnah), who holds that it they are one holiness, and we don’t collect Terumah/heave-offering on them And especially with the two holy days of Rosh Hashanah as we have explained above.

ביצה שנולדה בראשון – of Rosh Hashanah (see the first Mishnah of the Tractate Betzah).

תאכל בשני – for if the first [day] is holy, the second is a weekday, and the egg that was born on Yom Tov is permitted on a weekday, for there is no preparation for a weekday. But if the first [day] is a weekday and the second is a holy day, it is found that that thee weekday prepares for the Holy day, and that is all right.

ולא הודו לו חכמים – on the two days of Rosh Hashanah alone, for they are one holiness. But on the rest of the Holy Days of the Diaspora, they (i.e., the Sages) agree with him.

מתנה אדם על הכלכלה. סל שיש בו פירות טבלים, מתנה עליו ביום טוב ראשון של ראש השנה ואומר, אם היום חול תהא זו תרומה על אלו, ואם היום קודש אין בדברי כלום. שאין מגביהין תרומה ביום טוב. ולמחר הוא אומר אם אתמול קודש והיום חול תהא זו שאמרתי אתמול תרומה על אלו, ואם היום קודש ואתמול חול כבר היא תרומה. ואוכל כלכלה המתוקנת ומשייר התרומה:

ולא הודו לו חכמים. הוא ר׳ יוסי כדאמרן, דסבר קדושה אחת הן ואין מגביהים בהם תרומה. ודוקא בשני ימים טובים של ראש השנה כדפרישית לעיל:

וכן ביצה שנולדה בראשון. של ראש השנה:

תאכל בשני. דאם הראשון קודש השני חול וביצה שנולדה ביו״ט מותרת בחול דאין הכנה לחול. ואם הראשון חול והשני קדש נמצא שחול מכין ליו״ט ושפיר דמי:

ולא הודו לו חכמים. בשני י״ט של ר״ה בלבד דקדושה אחת הן. אבל בשני ימים טובים של גליות מודים לו:
