Eruvin in urban areas often grow by addition of new segments to their original borders. In October 2016, we extended our community eruv to include a large swatch of the southern residential section of Brookline, MA. We had been approached by Rabbi Mendy Uminer of the Chabad of Chestnut Hill with a request to enable his growing community to (1) utilize an Eruv for enhancing the Shabbos experience in his neighborhoods and (2) enable people to walk (while carrying) on Shabbos between the larger eruv and his area.
