The Eruv is Down due to significant construction issues on the 405.
LA Eruv’s coordinator Howard Witkin just completed a walk through with the project managers and field supervisors for the contractors building the 405.
Howard stated “We will not be able to make repairs to the Eruv for this Shabbos.
We hope to have a workaround for next week, but the next three weeks will be problematic as the contractor rushes to finish new and demolish old bridges at Wilshire. We’ll keep you posted.”
The eruv always runs short of funds in weeks leading up to Rosh Hashanah. This year we are especially short because of the extraordinary expenses of repairs every week as we coordinate with the freeway construction. We will need at least an additional 10k to get through the summer and keep the Eruv up.
We are hoping that next year will be easier as several shuls step up their support for the eruv and the community it serves.
