Dear Eruv Community, Shana tova! This past year has been difficult on many levels. The conflict in Israel and the sentiment here in the United States has made for challenges for many of us. It is hoped that having the eruv as part of our community has helped provide support to those in our community by making it easier for everyone to pray, socialize and be together during Shabbat. May this year bring peace in Israel and here in the United States. The eruv has had a successful year. It withstood New England weather and what seems a constant stream of construction in this area. There was one Shabbat that a downed line was not able to be fixed in time for Shabbat and as such the eruv was declared down. It served to remind us of how important the eruv is to our whole community. We will be expanding the eruv in Somerville to include Temple Bnai Brith in the coming months. More details to follow! Rabbi Chaim Jachter, our Rav HaMakhshir, reviewed the eruv at the beginning of July and stated it was “a very successful visit!” He also said: “I must also note that I am very impressed once again with the dedication of everyone (especially Rachel [Spiller]!) to maintain the eruv on the high-quality level at [which it] is at. Well done!” A big thank you also goes out to Rabbi David Roth, who continues to heavily support the eruv as our local Rabbi. Thank you to all the volunteers who dedicated their time to checking the eruv. Check out the eruv website to see who these folks are! We are looking to expand this group of people. If you can fulfill this role, alleviating the load on current checkers, please contact Amy Robert (info_eruv@nceruv.org) for more information. The dues schedule is listed below. We are able to continue our current fee schedule into next year. We do encourage everyone to support the eruv to the best of their ability. We rely on the financial support of the community to meet our regular operating expenses and we also rely on the volunteer efforts of our members in checking the eruv weekly. We encourage you to consider how you can help the eruv out- financially, time contribution as a checker, or perhaps both. Suggested membership contributions are:
We have had some changes to the eruv Board. Both Avi Klausner and Rebecca Boiarsky have moved out of the community. We thank them for all of their hard work and dedication as they served on the Board. We welcome Noam Buckman and Akiva Gordon as our newest members. Meyer Potashman and Amy Robert continue to be dedicated board members and much thanks goes out to them for their efforts! Contributions to the Eruv can be made online at www.nceruv.org or can be mailed to the address above. Please feel free to reach out to us with questions (info_eruv@nceruv.org) and consider donating time to help check the eruv during this upcoming year! Wishing you a happy and healthy year!
