The eruv is kosher for Shabbat 26-27 May 2023 / 7 Iyar 5783

With the assistance of Mizrachi, Kollel Beth Hatalmud and the Adass Israel, and under the Halachic control and supervision originally of Rabbi S. Eider, Rabbi Z.Beck and more recently of Rabbi S Kohn of Adass Israel, weekly inspections of the Eruv takes place and any necessary repairs are undertaken on an immediacy basis thereby ensuring that the Eruv is halachically reliable for the ensuing Shabbat.

In 2006, reflecting the demographic changes in an expanding community, the Eruv was expanded from its initial coverage of Caulfield, St Kilda, Elwood and Brighton to include Moorabbin, Carnegie and Bentleigh.

Please ensure that you have the latest version of the app on your smartphone. If the eruv area shown on the map is only south of Dandenong Road, then you need to update the app. The new version of the app shows the eruv area extended to the north, including parts of Armadale, Malvern, Toorak and other suburbs. Please familiarise yourself with the new eruv boundary.
