The Valley Eruv is FUNCTIONAL for this Shabbos. The Valley Eruv is completing all the additional upgrades at this time. We are replacing some worn down Eruv poles and various wooden endpoints throughout the Valley Eruv. Now is the time to think about making a significant donation to our Valley Eruv. Click the “Donation” box on the top of the Eruv home page.

We are pleased to update the community that the Valley Eruv has now completed the replacement of all the old and weathered monofilament lines. With these brand new lines, we can expect fewer repairs and a more secure and sturdy Valley Eruv perimeter. We will still need to upgrade a number of Valley Eruv poles and fences, some of these have not been replaced since they were installed in 1988. These final items are scheduled to be replaced this coming week. Your participation by donating to the Valley Eruv will make our community’s Eruv even stronger. At this time, our Valley Eruv checking account is completely out of funds.

As of Friday, May 8th, we are pleased to inform you that the Valley Eruv is undergoing complete point-to-point repairs as well as full replacement of our Eruv monofilament lines. As of this Shabbos, our Eruv has 19 new areas which have been re-strung and fully inspected. They are “good to go” for this and hopefully future Shabbosos. The remaining Eruv lines will be replaced this coming week. Please consider sending a donation to help fund the eruv, today.

As of Friday, May 1st, the Valley Eruv is pleased to share that it has begun the expensive replacement of the old and worn out Eruv monofilament lines. In spite of the high cost, we have raised some of the money and have begun the replacements and repairs. Due to the active construction, we will be unable to check the status of the Valley Eruv until after 11:30 a.m. on Friday. We appreciate your understanding at these delays and have our Valley Eruv checkers “standing by” to check our entire eruv. Please consider sending in additional donations at this time. We will still need about $5,000 more dollars to complete the replacement of the eruv lines. Thank you.

About The Valley Eruv Repairs
The Valley Eruv Lines are very old and desperately need replacement. They are so brittle that they literally crack and break. Therefore, we must replace all the Valley Eruv lines at a cost of at least $25,000 for the first phase. It is up to you to donate and support the Valley Eruv. Do it today.

Bar Mitzvah Bachur Donates to the Valley Eruv!
We are very proud of Elan Litenatsky for demonstrating his being a true ben Torah. One of the first mitzvos that Elan did after his recent Bar Mitzvah was to share, magnanimously, the money he received for his Bar Mitzvah for the needs of the community. Elan donated enough money to support an entire section of the eruv.
