Rutherford synagogue wants to erect an eruv along utility polls - NorthJersey.com: "A rabbi in Rutherford wants to enclose nearly the entire town inside a ritual fence called an eruv. But don't worry; chances are you've been in one before and never knew it.
An eruv is a symbolic fence that encloses an area in order to allow Orthodox Jews who live within the enclosure to perform basic tasks outside their homes on the Sabbath. Rabbi Nosson Schuman, who took over as the head of Congregation Beth El on Montross Avenue earlier this year, has requested the council allow the synagogue to use the town's telephone polls to mark the border."
