South Orange, NJ – Eruv Permitted

South Orange, NJ – South Orange Trustees on Monday permitted the boundaries of the village to be used for establishing a symbolic religious boundary, called an Eruv.

Last year, representatives of two Orthodox congregations in Maplewood approached the Township Committee with its request. Under Jewish law, the local government must approve before an Eruv can be established.

“The village will let the local synagogue know it’s been approved and they would then take the responsibility to provide for the markings,” said Village Administrator.
