EIRUV OF TEḤUMIN
Walking farther than 2000 cubits (about 3000 feet) past the boundary (tehum) of the town in which you dwell or lodge as the day begins is forbidden on Shabbat and Yom Tov. Before nightfall, set food enough for two meals at a spot lying within 2000 cubits of the town limits; you thereby grant that spot the standing of a dwelling for the following day, and may then walk 2000 cubits from there.

EIRUV OF ḤATZEROT
On Shabbat, transferring objects from one private domain to another is forbidden, as is transferring them from a private domain into an area held in common, such as a shared stairway, hallway or courtyard. An Eiruv Hatzerot is formed when, before Shabbat, every Jewish household in a court or apartment block deposits, in a single home, a loaf of bread or matza. The whole court or block then constitutes one private domain, within which carrying is allowed.

LIGHTING OF CANDLES
Once the candles are lit on Erev Shabbat that is not a Yom Tov, cover the eyes with the hands, and say:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל שַׁבָּת.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam
asher kidshanu b'mitzvotav, vetzivanu lehadlik ner shel Shabat.
On Erev Yom Tov, recite the blessing below and then light the candles from an existing flame. If it is also Shabbat, cover the eyes with the hands once the candles are lit and recite the blessing below, inserting the words in parentheses.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר שֶׁל (שַׁבָּת וְשֶׁל) יוֹם טוֹב.
Israeli
