The primary section of the Torah journal contains in-depth yet concise essays examining the Rebbeim’s halachic position on issues pertaining to city eruvin. Each essay presents the sources in a clear and easy-to-follow style so that even one who isn’t proficient in the topic can familiarize themselves with the issues.

Topics include:

• “Tzuras hapesach” (string and pole) eruv where traffic traverses the enclosure
• “Tzuras hapesach” eruv wider than 10 amos
• The status of cities without 600,000 people
• How to count the 600,000 for a reshus horabim
• Can a crooked street be a reshus horabim
• Do surrounding houses create a valid eruv (the Chazon Ish eruv)
• Lakes and parks within an eruv enclosure
• Renting rights from the mayor or utility companies
• Non-frum residents in an eruv and the challenges they present
• Enclosing a very large area with an eruv

The Lashon Kodesh essays were written by the bochurim of the Mesivta who learned Mesechta Eruvin last year. A summary of each essay is presented in the English section.

A bonus section presents the Rebbe’s directives to rabbonim and shluchim on the construction of eruvin in their cities. This collection was first published in Lashon Kodesh in a previous kovetz, and is presented here for the first time in English with additions.
