The Eruv and the December 2017 Skirball Fire


Every week our crew of Rabbis inspects the complete eruv looking for any breaks. Here’s what the Los Angeles Community Eruv Society found in

September 2016:a-tree-on-my-fence-small

This morning I went out with Rabbi L on checking the fences and found one area that is pasul and needs immediate attention so we can be up this coming Shabbos. It is between Vineland and Moorpark along the 101 Frwy. A tree fell on the fence there and we need a chain saw to cut what fell on the fence, after which we will need to replace the chain link fence.

An eruv needs to be inspected and repaired every week to maintain to earn the trust of the community.

The Los Angeles Community Eruv (LA Eruv) was built to enhance the experience of Shabbos in our community.

Increased togetherness, better access to shul, additional options for the young and elderly – all are facilitated by an eruv.

Whether there is a reliable eruv is one of the first questions a young family asks about a neighborhood.

Our LA Eruv is one of the few institutions that serves our city’s entire Shabbos-observant community.

We are grateful to have support from a wide spectrum of shuls throughout the city.
