ERUV TAVSHILIN

When a festival occurs on Thursday and Friday, or on Friday and Shabbat, then on the day preceding the festival one should make an Eruv Tavshilin; This is accomplished by taking bread prepared for Shabbat, as well as a highly regarded cooked food such as meat or fish, and handing these over to another person through whom he grants a share in this eruv to the entire community. See Laws, page 605.
The one who makes the eruv says:
Hebrew
אֲנִי מְזַכֶּה לְכָל מִי שֶׁרוֹצֶה לִזְכּוֹת וְלִסְמוֹךְ עַל
עֵרוּב זֶה:
Chabad

The one holding the bread and food raises them a tefach (approximately 3 inches) and then returns them to the one making the eruv, who recites the following:
Hebrew

ERUV CHATZEROT

The Sages mandated that an Eruv Chatzerot (lit. a mixture of courtyards) be made, to combine numerous houses that open to a single courtyard, thus enableing one to carry from one dwelling to another on Shabbat. It is a custom to collect matzah from each house (this is customarily done on Erev Pesach) making it into an eruv for every Shabbat of the year. See Laws, page 606.
The one to whom the matzah is handed, raises it a tefach (approximately 3 inches) and then returns it to the one making the eruv, who recites the following:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר
קִדְּשָׁנוּ* בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ עַל מִצְוַת עֵרוּב:
