Malden's Eruv


Building the eruv

Under Rabbi Rabinowitz's direction, and under the auspices and support of the Greater Boston Eruv Corporation, an eruv was built in the neighborhood immediately surrounding the shul. The eruv -- a "border" of sorts, comprised of poles and twine -- became functional in June 2005 and allows members of the community to carry items like house keys and prayer books on Shabbat. It also allows people to push baby carriages and wheelchairs on Shabbat, and for that reason serves as an effective draw for young families looking to move into a Jewish community.
