Halakhah for Tahorot 8:1

הַדָּר עִם עַם הָאָרֶץ בְּחָצֵר, וְשָׁכַח כֵּלִים בֶּחָצֵר, אֲפִלּוּ חָבִיּוֹת מֻקָּפוֹת צָמִיד פָּתִיל, אוֹ תַנּוּר מֻקָּף צָמִיד פָּתִיל, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַהֵר בְּתַנּוּר בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא מֻקָּף צָמִיד פָּתִיל. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף הַתַּנּוּר טָמֵא, עַד שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה לוֹ מְחִצָּה גָבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים:

One who lives in the same courtyard as an <i>am ha'aretz</i> [a non-learned person, assumed to be impure], if he [the former] leaves vessels in the courtyard, even if they are barrels with a tight seal, or an oven with a tight seal, these are all impure. Rabbi Yehuda declares the oven pure when it has a tight seal. Rabbi Yose says: even the oven is impure, until he makes a wall around it ten handbreadths high.
