A new Eruv is coming to the South side of Lakewood, TLS has learned.
Plans for the new Eruv have been in the works for some time, but they are now being finalized.
The Eruv is under the Hashgacha of the Vaad HaEruv of South Lakewood, which us under the auspices of the Sanz-Klausenberg Dayan of Oak & Vine, as well as the Rav of the Liyon Shul on Oak Street.
The Vaad this week met with Harav Shmuel Meir Katz to review the plans for the Eruv, which will not cross Route 9 at any point.
A map for the Eruv will be published when finalized.
River Ave X Pine St X New Hampshire X Route 70
Just to point you in the correct direction….- South is Drom, and Tzafon is North.
Just to point you in the correct direction…..South Lakewood would be translated in Hebrew as Drom Lakewood.
Tzfon Lakewood is North Lakewood.
Isn’t “Tsafon” North?
I’m confused… Eruv of south Lakewood why does the paper say ערוב ד׳צפון לייקוואוד??
צפון is north…
You are all missing the point, these chassidim are way ahead of the litvaks on this one.
Within five years, they will get Toms River renamed South Lakewood…
If you live far enough South, then the are of Oak and Vine is considered “North”.
Before anyone wakes up, Chasidim will take over Lakewood, as they have done to Boro Park, with the non-hassidic Yeshiva community becoming a small minority, in its own town.
I think the Oilam is handling the Daf
Nice!
We are all brothers. As long as we have a frum community, why should we concerned that it’s Chassidim versus Yeshiva? It is wonderful!. Before Moshiach comes we have to have unity. If it bothers you that there’s an eruv, you don’t have to use it. There are many in Monsey who don’t use the eruv either.
To #8, is there something wrong with Chassidim moving top Lakewood?
After all, they are Jews too!
Where is your AHAVAS YISROEL!!??
Belz is Lakewood and Oak and Vine is North of that.
This is great I’m in Lakewood 18 years waiting for this.
Kol hakavod. Finally someone actually cares about the Yerushalmi, brought down by the Rif in Eiruvin that it is a mitzvah to make an eiruv to enhance shalom by yidden.
It’s an interesting kind of “mitzva” when this particular eruv certainly won’t confirm with the Rambam and the yesh omrim in the mechaber. I’m not ch”v denigrating those communities that choose to use such an eruv, just pointing out that it’s certainly not a mitzva, rather a heter. There is a reason that Lakewood, which has been led by the rosh yeshiva Reb Ahron and Reb Shneiur and ybdl”c the current roshei yeshiva has always been very opposed to having a huge eruv like this.
And?
To Concerned: why are you so concerned about Chasidim moving into Lakewood. Would you feel concerned if anyone else moved into the areas that Chasidim are moving into. In what way do Chasidim make you concerned?
It’s not that chassidim worry me (unless they or anyone else are marching around protesting the state of Israel).
It’s that increasingly there are fewer areas for the yeshivish couples who live here to find living spaces among their own. I choose to daven in a yeshivish minyan. As beautiful as diversity is, we still have our differences which are also beautiful.
The reason there is no affordable housing is because the township committee has failed us. and as long as we vote for them this will continue.
Additionally the rise in prices is directly connected to brokers marketing developments to BP only. These developments were never marketed to Lakewood and they shouldn’t have been approved. But as long as we stay ignorant and follow the herd nothing will change.
Mabrouck for the eruv.
Chaim K. nobody is telling you to daven with them, but why can’t you live with them???
What do you think it;s going to look like when Moshiach comes.
@EMES when Moshiach comes we will all be yeshivish.
We all know and hope that an Eiruv over the 9 is inevitable. There are so many people unaffiliated with the Yeshiva there’s no reason that there shouldn’t be one, albeit maybe not in the yeshiva area.
The reason that there shouldn’t be one is because it would rely on multiple heterim in a place where this was never done before. In halacha, this is actually a much worse pirtza then say a sore opening and marketing chlav stam in the heart of Williamsburg. Sad that people don’t realize this…
Which won’t cross route 9?
You do know that currently someone built an Eruv quietly that at one point enables them to cross route 9. People carry already . You think this won’t go across route 9? Dream on
