Q: Does Indianapolis have an Eiruv?
A: The Jewish community is surrounded by an Eruv, enabling one to carry items outdoors on Shabbos. An Eiruv needs regular supervision & our Eiruv is checked every week. For a map of the Eiruv, please click here. Please be aware that as accurate as we tried to make it, we are not professional cartographers. On the outermost borders of the Eiruv, please recognize that the Eiruv swings back and forth across the street. So unless you are intimately familiar with the Eiruv’s design, we don’t recommend carrying anything on Shabbos if you walk along the borders, namely: 64th Street, Spring Mill Road, 79th Street, Ditch Road, Westlane Road (west of Ditch) and Grandview Drive. If you have any questions, please contact the Shul office. Also, please be sure to call the Shul Office & select option 3, every Friday after 1 p.m., to ascertain the status of the Eiruv for that Shabbos.
