Even with the high winds this week, our Valley Eruv is FUNCTIONAL for this Shabbos!
The Valley Eruv checkbook balance is very low, about $400.  That means when we next have a serious break in the lines, we will not be able to repair it.  It is everyone’s responsibility to financially support the Valley Eruv society.  Please make sure that you send in a check urgently.  Be generous.  If you cannot remember when you last sent in a check, send in a large check nowIn spite of the rains, our Valley Eruv is Functional for Shabbos.

About The Valley Eruv Repairs
In February/March 2009, the Valley Eruv had replaced the complete perimeter lengths of monofilament lines, at an original bid of $25,000. We were able to pay less due to the work being completed in the installer’s slow season. Since then we have suffered a series of general and common maintenance issues. The Valley Eruv, like all Eruvim, require weekly inspection and responses.  Beginning weekly on Wednesday through every Erev Shabbos, every week; there are many people who quietly work behind the scenes to make sure the Valley Eruv is “FUNCTIONAL” for each Shabbos.  Until the web site, www.ValleyEruv.org, is updated to FUNCTIONAL, the Valley Eruv lines are checked, repaired where necessary, rechecked, re-inspected, and the Valley Eruv inspectors, Rav HaMachshir, and administrators and eruv board are called upon for their special services to the eruv. We have community leaders who are anxious to help when their expertise is useful.  All this is coordinated on a weekly “as needed” basis. And this happens quietly without fanfare on a weekly basis. Please think about making a donation to support the Valley Eruv.  We need your financial participation, today.  Thank you.

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.

Eruv Update 1/1/2010 2:00pm:
The broken monofilament lines have been fixed and the Valley Eruv Checkers along with our Rav HaMachshir, Rav Eidlitz, have inspected the repairs to declare the Valley Eruv is FUNCTIONAL for this Shabbos.  The entire community is truly in debt for the work of the esteemed Rav HaMachshir, Valley Eruv inspectors, and Administration of the Valley Eruv who work diligently week-to-week to provide our community with a proper community Eruv.

Eruv Update 12/30/2009 1:30pm:
Once again the Valley Eruv is down and the administration, Rav Hamachshir and Valley Eruv checkers are directly involved in repairing and instructing how to correct.  There are two monofilament lines down in one area.  Usually this kind of break is caused by a large truck with a tall cargo snapping the monofilament lines which cross major intersections.  Whenever we have any Eruv break, we begin immediately to work on repairing the problem.  At this time the Valley Eruv is down.  Please make certain to check back and make sure the Valley Eruv is functional prior to using it this Shabbos.  Please send in your donations now!  YOU can still get your 2009 tax write off.

Eruv Update 12/23/2009 2:10pm:
In order to make our Valley Eruv kosher for this week we had to repair a street pole which was taken down by a car.  After that we needed to replace the monofilament lines which connect the pole to the other parts of the Valley Eruv.  All of this costs a great deal of money and many individuals’ time. 

Eruv Update 11/26/2009 6:00pm:
We are pleased to announce that our Valley Eruv checkers were able to certify the Valley Eruv had no issues this week despite the heavy winds. Please consider making your donations today.
