What is an Eruv?
The neighborhood becomes one domain.
An eruv (ערוב, pronounced ay-roov), in modern terminology, is a technical boundary that allows Jews to carry in public areas on Shabbat. The eruv is usually large enough to include entire neighborhoods with homes, apartments and synagogues, making it possible to carry on Shabbat, since one is never leaving one’s domain.
Map
Where the eruv runs.
The line follows specific utility poles, so residents directly on the border should consult rabbinic guidance.
Membership
The eruv is funded by its members.
Keeping the eruv up takes constant work. It is checked on a regular basis, and when a line comes down or something wears out, it gets repaired. There are also pole rentals and rabbinic supervision. All of that is paid for by the members of the eruv. There is no other budget behind it.
Every gift is 501(c)(3) tax-deductible. Monthly support is the steadiest help, but any amount sustains the boundary.
Thank you to our eruv members
