Over the past decades, members of the Highland Park/Edison/New Brunswick community have come to appreciate the reliability and constancy of the local eruv—described in a December 1978 News York Times news story as the “state’s first eruv.” It is important to realize that rabbanim, askanim and volunteers invest a great deal of time and effort, week after week, to make sure the eruv 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.
