Kommentar zu Eruvin 1:4
רְחָבָה, כְּדֵי לְקַבֵּל אָרִיחַ, וּבְרִיאָה, כְּדֵי לְקַבֵּל אָרִיחַ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, רְחָבָה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין בְּרִיאָה:
(Die Korah muss breit genug sein, um einen Ariach zu erhalten, und stark genug, um einen Ariach zu erhalten [dh um sein Gewicht zu tragen, ohne zu brechen. Und das ist die Halacha.] R. Yehudah sagt: Breit genug, auch wenn sie nicht stark genug ist.
Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin

Introduction
This mishnah is a direct continuation of yesterday’s mishnah, in which we learned that the cross-beam needs to be wide enough to support a half-brick.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
Wide enough to hold a half-brick but also strong enough to support such a half-brick. Rabbi Judah says: wide enough, even though it is not strong enough. In this mishnah there is a debate whether or not the cross-beam must actually be strong enough to support the half-brick, or whether it is sufficient for it to merely look big enough. According to the first opinion, the cross-beam must actually be strong enough, whereas Rabbi Judah holds that is must only be wide enough, but not actually strong enough.
