Megilah 026: The division of Yerushalayim
jweinstein asked:
Dear Rav shlita,
The gemara details how "yerusalim" was split (according to one tanna). The
areas describe as either Yehuda's or Binyamin's seems to be very limited! How
are like the Old City - outside the Temple wall treated?
1) Is this not part of Yerushalim?
2) The gemara also discusses the ability to rent lodging. I would think that
these areas are outside the listing of the gemara (hal, ulam etc.). But
assuming the area was devised to one tribe,,,which on received this land?
Thank you for your help and this wonderful website!

The Kollel replies:
Dear Yossie
Hello there and thanks for your question. Clearly from the Pesukim in Yehoshua
(15:63, 18:28) and Shoftim (1:8, 21) Yerushalayim was in the territory of both
Yehudah and Binyamin. The Gemara does not go into detail how this system worked
in Yerushalayim, as it did not have any halachic implications. (I assume the
border between the two had some topographical logic to it.) In the case of Har
ha'Bayis however the Mizbe'ach had to be in the area belonging to Binyamin,
while the Lishkas ha'Gazis was in Yehudahs area (see Zevachim 54b), thus it
being necessary to go into the details.
All the best.
