ERUV Notice
The Eruv is up this Shabbat.
As we iterate on the Eruv, we would like to call your attention to a minor change beginning this Shabbat. While the perimeter of the Eruv remains the same, a section of St. James Dr. has gone from "Green" to "Red", meaning that one cannot walk as far down St. James from Park Boulevard while remaining in the Eruv. For more information, please see the updated map on our website: https://www.
