The Eruv of Monsey sustained damage in multiple locations following the severe storms that swept through the area over the weekend, with heavy rain, strong winds, and fallen trees damaging utility wires and eruv strings throughout the community.
On Monday, Eruv officials toured the affected areas to assess the damage and determine the repairs needed. Crews are now working intensively to restore all affected sections and prepare the eruv for Shabbos.
In a statement, Eruv officials said they are hopeful that all repairs will be completed in time for Shabbos and that they will be able to announce on Erev Shabbos that the Eruv of Monsey and surrounding communities is fully repaired and kosher for use.
The damage comes as Rockland County continues recovering from the powerful July 4–5 storms, which left widespread power outages, downed trees, and extensive cleanup efforts across the county.
