The Eruv of Monsey released its weekly inspection report ahead of Shabbos Parshas Bamidbar, detailing repairs, upgrades, and a significant expansion of the Montebello Eruv.
According to the report, inspectors identified a total of 12 issues this week, all of which were repaired before Shabbos. Officials confirmed that all Eruv sections are currently kosher and operational.
In the Airmont Eruv, crews removed branches and leaves resting on the Eruv string along Hillside Avenue near the bridge. In Pearl River, repairs were completed near the horse farm where leaves were making contact with the Eruv string.
Significant work was carried out in the Montebello section. Along Babbling Brook and the 15 West gate area, crews inspected the line and removed leaves affecting the Eruv string. Officials also addressed a compromised 200-foot section that had previously relied on a natural slope (tel hamislaket) for the Eruv boundary. Due to erosion that made the slope unreliable under halachic standards, crews installed a new 200-foot fence to secure the perimeter.
The Monsey Rambam Eruv (Sh’lav 1) also saw several repairs and upgrades this week. At Suzanne Lake, inspectors identified a 20-foot gap in fencing created by the town to allow boat access; a temporary fence was installed to secure the area. Repairs were also completed along the fence line at 167 Route 306. Near Ohr Somayach, where the town is installing new sidewalks, crews added two new poles and an Eruv string to reinforce the boundary. In addition, the Eruv string near the Wells Fargo Bank was repaired after being damaged during ongoing construction activity.
In the Monsey Rambam (Sh’lav 2), leaves interfering with the green string near Bais Mikra were removed. In Wesley Hills, crews cleared a string obstruction near 770 Route 202. In Hillcrest, branches near the Eruv string along Sima Lane were trimmed and cleared.
All other sections — including Suffern, Good Samaritan Hospital (Sh’lav 5 Rambam), Chestnut Ridge, Spring Valley, Nanuet, New Hempstead, New City, and Haverstraw — were reported to be in good standing following inspections.
As part of this week’s major update, Eruv officials announced that the Montebello Eruv was officially extended between Lake Street and Route 202, bringing that entire stretch within the Montebello Eruv boundaries for the first time.
Officials confirmed that all repairs and inspections were completed ahead of Shabbos to ensure the Eruv remains fully operational for the community.
