Description
A comprehensive review of the laws of Eruvin and their practical applications
A groundbreaking new sefer! Years of research, hundreds of color, computer-generated 3D images, and a knack for accuracy and clarity have resulted in this first-of-its-kind, authoritative, comprehensive and practical guide which will be an invaluable resource in every beis medrash and every Jewish home. In-depth information for the Torah scholar includes: Hundreds of psakim never published before from gedolei haposkim in America and Eretz Yisrael; Contemporary halachic issues not discussed in other works; Extensive Hebrew footnotes citing all sources and teshuvos; Comprehensive biurim, providing advanced treatment of important topics. Q&A’s for the interested reader include: “Can I carry on my front porch if there are steps leading to the street? Can I carry in my backyard on Shabbos? Can the bushes serve as a mechitzah? Why do some people use community-wide eruvin and others do not? I noticed that the string of the eruv in my bungalow got caught in a branch, is it still kosher? The Laws of an Eruv by Rabbis Shlomo Francis and Yonason Glenner contains a depth and breadth rarely found in an English language sefer, yet it is clear and comprehensible to every reader.

Andrew Karsh –
The subject matter and the matter of fact title do not prepare you for how important a work this is. Not only is it written intelligently and simply but it quickly becomes apparent that you are reading the elusive defining work on a subject that until now has been famously covered in a factual haze. The exhaustive research and priceless personal interviews with some of the most influential authorities on the subject are apparent in almost every sentence. I cannot say enough about this book, it is an incredible achievement!

In this ground breaking new book explaining the (previously!) complicated Halachos (Laws) of Eruv (enclosure required for Jews to carry outdoors on the Sabbath), Rabbis Francis and Glenner clarify for the scholar as well as the layman, all of the practical legalities and rulings, with an unprecedented crystal clear explanation and first-rate illustrations. I really enjoyed how the layout and format are designed so that the information flows making it very easy to read. Also, the many illustrations illuminate a clarity which proves how ‘a picture is worth a thousand words!!’ I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to delve into the topic, as well as to the casual reader. The scholar may want to study the expansive footnotes while other may just ‘stick to the script’ but there is something for everybody!!!
