“After speaking to a handful talmidim of reb ahron and rav shneur it would seem that lakewood does not have a city eruv for hashkofik reasons ie. mingling in the streets on shabbos etc.,and hardly anything to do with halacha.”
Oy vey new minhagim. I guess these “talmidim” don’t realize that such reid would make them an eino modeh b’eruv. These arguments would do away with all eruvin, large or small. Moreover, I have never heard such reid from non Chasidim. This leads me to believe that these arguments are a modern day invention.
