(Around nearly all residential areas in Israel the "eruv" is made by means of wire strands tied to poles surrounding the perimeters the designated areas.)<br /><br />In order to permit carrying from a private home to a courtyard that includes other residential houses a lighter type of "eruv" is sufficient. This is called "eiruvei chatzeiros". It is accomplished by placing bread/matzah in one of the houses and saying a special formula. This makes all the homes in the courtyard one unit and as a result one is permitted to carry from his private home to the courtyard or other homes in the courtyard. <br /> Eretz Yisroel in the Lenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743030640977483595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411668548766683003.post-17375287659989466472013-03-17T08:18:55.098+02:002013-03-17T08:18:55.098+02:00Would some kind person take a moment to explain wh...Would some kind person take a moment to explain why "a matzah was kept in the shul as eiruvei chatzeiros for Shabbos"?<br /><br />Not all your readers are so <i>frum</i> or indeed so learned in Jewish customs to readily understand the reasons for that - but this one would like to know, please.Darth Zeidahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885872955106929227noreply@blogger.com
