Eruv - Enclosure

The application from Leeds Eruv Limited outlines plans to erect 52 poles around Alwoodley, Moortown, Meanwood, Lidgett Park and Chapel Allerton

​

An eruv is a ritual halakhic enclosure made for the purpose of allowing activities which are normally prohibited on Shabbat, specifically: carrying objects from a private domain to a semi-public domain, and transporting objects four cubits or more within a semi-public domain.

​

The halacha of Shabbat divides spaces into four categories:

• Private domain (reshut hayachid), such as a house

• Public domain (reshut harabim), such as a very busy road

• Semi-public domain (carmelit), which includes most other places

• Neutral domain (makom patur), such as the flat space on top of a pole.
