The Eruv of Monsey was fully inspected this week ahead of Shabbos Parshas Mishpatim. According to the executive summary, checkers entered a total of 19 issues into the Eruv monitoring app system. Of those, 11 were deemed non-kosher, temporarily invalidating sections of the Eruv, while the remaining eight were addressed as high-priority upgrades. All repairs were completed before Shabbos.
In the Suffern Eruv, crews reconnected separated PVC lechis along Campbell Road and Fox Lane in Mahwah, New Jersey. On Woodland Drive, a second PVC lechi was installed on the left side of a utility pole to compensate for a cable connector that had bent the top wire.
Within the Good Samaritan Hospital Eruv, a gate on Woodland Drive that had been pulled away from the Tzuras Hapesach by snow was repaired and restored.
In the Airmont Eruv, crews established a new Tzuras Hapesach connection on Eros Drive between a newly installed utility pole and an existing pole. Officials extended special thanks to neighbor Yisroel Friedman for reporting the utility work. On West Saddle River Drive in Upper Saddle River, branches pushing against the Eruv line were cleared.
Additional maintenance was completed across the region. In Montebello, branches interfering with the line along Lake Road were trimmed. In the Spring Valley Rambam section, a gate on West Street that had been displaced by snow was repaired, and tangled wires along Sima Lane were adjusted. Within the Monsey Rambam Eruv, a downed string on Spook Rock Road was repaired, and a fence damaged at a construction site on Homestead Lane was fixed.
Further work included correcting PVC alignment on Alice Drive in Hillcrest and realigning three PVC lechis under the wire along Route 202 in Wesley Hills, where additional branch trimming was also performed. In New City, wires pushing the Eruv line along Little Tor Road were adjusted, and a PVC under the wire on North Little Tor Road was realigned.
The Eruv of Monsey also announced staffing updates this week, welcoming two new checkers, Mordechai Braun and Shlomo Tauber. After completing intensive training over the past several weeks, both have officially begun their weekly inspection routes.
Eruv officials confirmed that the entire Eruv was inspected and all identified issues were successfully repaired prior to Shabbos, ensuring continued service to the community.
