VIDEO ABOUT THE LOCAL ERUV Over the past decades, most of us in the Highland Park/ Edison/ New Brunswick community

have come to appreciate the reliability and constancy of the local Eruv. It is important to realize that Rabbanim, askanim and volun-

teers are moser nefesh week after week to make sure it is operational. To give the community a greater appreciation of the halachic considerations in the design of the Eruv, as well as the work involved in maintaining it, a video / slide show presented by Rabbi Akiva Sauer of the

Highland Park Kollel has been posted on the Eruv website: https://hperuv.org/video
