Help to build the Leeds Eruv.
Plans for an eruv for Leeds have been ongoing for more than ten years. Now, with full planning permission secured and a registered charity formed to manage the project, we are poised to deliver this game-changing facility for the Leeds Jewish Community.
An eruv is an area designated by a notional boundary within which observant Jews can carry particular objects, or push buggies and wheelchairs on Shabbat. Globally, there are more than 200 eruvim, and there are at least a dozen in the UK. Having one in Leeds is long overdue.
Activities that are not allowed on Shabbat permitted within an eruv include:
An eruv makes it easier for people to keep - and to enjoy - Shabbat.
This project benefits the entire Jewish Community in Leeds – observant or not. It builds on what we have already: schools; bakery; kosher butcher; mikvah and Shuls. It is the final piece of the jigsaw for a thriving Jewish life here.
Please help us to make this happen - and we can all benefit from an eruv in Leeds this year.
