The Eruv of Monsey released its weekly inspection report ahead of Shabbos Parshas Netzavim-Vayeilech, with inspectors identifying 14 issues across the Eruv system. Six were determined to be not kosher and required immediate attention, two were classified as high-priority, and the remaining issues were lower-priority maintenance items.
Following the completion of this week’s repairs, officials confirmed that all sections of the Eruv are kosher for Shabbos.
In Airmont, crews completed two repairs along East Crescent Avenue after wires were damaged and the PVC at the top was found to be in poor condition. Two new PVCs were installed to restore the area.
In Pearl River, a PVC along South Highland Avenue that was broken near the bottom was repaired.
In Montebello, crews completed two repairs along Route 202 near Coe Farm Road, where branches had become tangled in the Eruv string. The branches were removed and the line was restored.
In New City, crews repaired a broken PVC along New Hempstead Road.
Five repairs were completed in the Haverstraw Eruv. Along Route 202 at Rosman Road, crews removed branches that were pushing against the Eruv wire. In Pomona, utility work along Call Hollow Road changed the locations of two utility poles, requiring Eruv crews to install four new PVC lechis to accommodate the new configuration.
The Suffern, Good Samaritan Hospital Rambam, Chestnut Ridge, both Monsey Rambam sections, Spring Valley, Spring Valley Rambam, Nanuet Rambam, Wesley Hills, New Hempstead, and Hillcrest sections were all inspected and confirmed kosher without any significant repairs noted.
Eruv officials also addressed the absence of weekly reports over the previous two weeks, stressing that inspections and maintenance continued as usual during that period. All sections were checked, necessary repairs were completed, and the Eruv was confirmed kosher each week.
Officials additionally expressed their appreciation to Joel Sofer for his continued assistance with issues involving the Eruv maintenance truck.
With this week’s inspections and repairs completed, officials confirmed that the entire Monsey Eruv system is fully kosher and operational for Shabbos.
