The Eruv of Monsey was fully inspected this week ahead of Shabbos Parshas Terumah, with checkers logging a total of 18 issues into the Eruv monitoring app system. Of those, four locations were deemed not kosher, two were categorized as high-priority upgrades, and the remaining 12 were classified as medium- or low-priority maintenance items. All necessary repairs were completed before Shabbos.
In the Suffern Eruv, crews trimmed branches along Hemion Road that were interfering with Eruv wires. In Wesley Hills, along Route 202, a PVC lechi was realigned to ensure it sits directly beneath the wire.
Several repairs were carried out in New City. On Little Tor Road, crews removed branches touching and pushing against the wires and adjusted a cable section that was being displaced by adjacent lines to allow it to hang freely. A lechi with a gap at the bottom was corrected, and on North Little Tor Road, a separated PVC pipe attached to a utility pole was reconnected.
In Pomona, multiple repairs were completed, including reconnecting a separated PVC on Call Hollow Road and realigning three lechis along Route 202 to sit properly under the wire. Crews also replaced a zigzagging lechi with a new straight PVC pipe and installed additional brackets to provide greater stability.
During maintenance work along Route 202 in Pomona, the Eruv of Monsey bucket truck became stuck in mud. A special thank you was extended to Chaverim of Rockland for responding quickly and assisting in pulling the vehicle out.
Residents are reminded to check the weekly Eruv status before Shabbos by calling the Eruv of Monsey hotline at 845-584-5655 (press 1-1-1).
