List of places with eruvin [1] [2]

An Eruv is a boundary established around a Jewish community that allows observant Jews to carry objects within the boundary on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays. This is normally prohibited on these days as it is considered "carrying" which is one of the 39 prohibited labors of the Sabbath. In order to create an Eruv, a symbolic boundary is established using a combination of natural and man-made features such as walls, fences, and wires. The idea behind an Eruv is to allow observant Jews to carry out everyday tasks such as pushing strollers or carrying keys within the community while still adhering to the laws of the Sabbath.

Not all Jewish communities have Eruv, and some communities have more than one Eruv. The establishment of an eruv can be a complex process that depends on the availability of infrastructure, the size of the Jewish community, and the support of local authorities.
