Building MoCo eruvim: Architecture and material culture (updated) | History Sidebar
For some reason, this eruv blog entry escaped me until now. See if you can identify the questionable poles, strings and/or wire's in the entry's pictures. ;-)

I'm very curious: Which ones are problematic?

ReplyDeleteNote that it is: a) a short lechi, always a potential problem; b)several planks nailed on to each other, indicating a pole in an ongoing process of tilting.

It's a cute picture, but I don't know how such a rough sighting could be regarded as sufficient.

Perhaps a sharper picture might show something, but in this picture there is no lechi on the fence.

The way the string is tied, it actually does not go over the top of the pole, nor directly into the pole (similar to bolt-through) but is a she'eilah of min ha'tzad.
