Unconfirmed reports state that the eruv is down in Jerusalem. The overhead wire which denotes the boundaries of the city are used for avoiding breaking any laws of Shabbat which warn against carrying things far distances outside. Further updates on this issue will be posted on Arutz Sheva as information become available.This happened one other time since we've been here - in the winter of 1992.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
