Anyone know the deal with the Manhattan eruv? We recently spent Shabbos there with my aunt and uncle, and we didn’t rely on it because our Rav said not to. But my uncle got really upset with my husband wearing his tallis to shul (rather than carrying it in the bag) and went on a whole rant about how the eruv is 100% kosher. I had heard that Brooklyn had a contentious debate as well, though I’ve yet to spend a Shabbos there. In any event, I am quite close with my Manhattan aunt, uncle and cousins, and expect to continue spending Shabbos there from time to time. So I reiterate: does anyone know what’s up with Manhattan?
