Eruv solutions


The eruv controversy has broken out again in my manor. Judging by the letters in the local press, this one will run and run. As a contribution to the debate I have been thinking "outside the box". These sketches show various concepts for my patent Portable Eruv-o-Matic, worn by the individual believer, thereby saving huge sums spent on unsightly poles and wires. The one in the hat features a GPS device which would bleep near the eruv boundary.

I had no knowledge of "eruv" prior to seeing this drawing. Your creativity is both educational and entertaining!

Looks rather like the fancy ways one can get around travel during Ramadan, from stories I have heard.
