Mods, could we move all the slifkin posts to another thread?
Mods, could we move all the posts regarding the LONDON to another thread? This one is for the Manchester Eruv. Thank you
We all wish Reb Moishe Katz, Eruv Project Manager, Mazeltov on the birth of a baby daughter last week! Lots of nachas. (He said that for the first Shabbos in 9 months his wife can go out in the street without carrying anything!)
The Rabbonim are working with the committee to implement changes to the eruv which will satisfy MOST rabbonim and shitttos. Obviously there will always be those who will still consider it problematic. The changes will take several months to complete.
In the meantime, though I do not yet carry in the eruv, it delights me to see those who do use it push their babies in the street etc on Shabbos, allowing them the freedom this gives them to be invited out for meals and go for a pleasant walk with their spouses.
But some people may think that EVERYTHING is now permitted to be carried. Many things are not, even with the eruv, and these complicated halochos need to be learned.
For example, it is not permitted to carry things that you will not need again this Shabbos. One should therefore not carry their tallis home after shul.
What about carrying your house key to shul for mincha on shabbos if you will only be returning home after maariv on motzei Shabbos?
PLEASE WOULD POSTERS GIVE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THINGS THAT MAY/SHOULD NOT BE DONE EVEN WITH AN ERUV. THANK YOU
Thank you goq. Yes it has been a while.
And how about a huge warm welcome to the manchester eruv!
I dont know a lot about the community or the proposed kolel but did see a notice in shul saying that you will have to live there. For info about the kehilla speak to an ex leeds person eg rabbi katz of gateshead or to Dayan Abraham of London Beis Din who’s name appears on the letter
Even better, no vhu rachum! What a merciful one he is
You are all correct.
WIY is correct to be disturbed when he saw what he saw. It is a sign of a rachamon which is a siman of a yid to have pity on a strangers child. I’m sure he would have felt the same had it been a non jewish baby.
The posters sympathetic to the mother are also correct. What could she have done? She has been blessed with a baby and had nowhere else to put it. Would she have done this to the baby of a relative she was looking after for the day? Of course not. It is only because she feels restricted and inhibited by the pressure of having to run a house while on low energy and deprived of sleep and on top of all to be unable to go anywhere without having to shlep the baby with that led her to act in this way.
So who or what is at fault? Boy am I gonna open a can of worms now but this is truly what I feel and it makes me mad.
It is one of several faults in our frum system that pressures us into having large families that only the most capable and geshikt people can cope yet the rest of us do it too with that allows senarios such as this.
It is also a fault of the same system when very young children, probably of the same families as in WIY’s opening post, are seen walking several of their even younger siblings to school and back crossing busy roads etc.
It is also a fault of the same system where many young men who are not cut out to sit in yeshiva and learn gemara all day long are not advised to go study to gain the qualifications that could help them with parnasah in later life but are kept in yeshiva and then kolel and then when their kids grow up and they cant afford school yeshiva and seminary fees for them and cannot put money away for their weddings they have nowhere to turn.
Where are the next generation of frum professionals coming from?The local hachnosas kalahs worldwide are in crisis. Never before have there been such demands on their limited finances. More and more of us are turning to them for help with our ever growing families to ask for financial assistance. More and more of our local mosdos are fighting to keep afloat financially also, with less and less gevirim around for them to seek help from.
When oh when is there going to be a serious kehillah wide approach to find solutions for these and other similar issues?
“It is beyond me how anyone could use an eiruv in a city that is named for a football team. Disgusting.”
You have a point. I suppose thats why you’ll never find an eruv in any other city around the world that has a football team. Take for example New York… 🙂
No I think Popa is trying to impress that besides Malcolm Glazer there exists another American (himself) who has also heard of the concept of football/soccer that is played beyond the united states, though he can only name one player.
Coming back to reality, I did not meet a single jew carrying over this past shabbos in my so called charedi part of town and nor did I expect to.
But let all those who wish to use the eruv do do in the knowledge that there are enough poskim who are matir our eruv, let all those who do not wish to use the eruv do do in the knowledge that there are enough poskim who are not matir our eruv, and let manchester remain united
I dont think we need to name names here. Those who live here know and to those who dont it’s not nogeia.
It differs from shul to shul. What shul does your father daven in?
As a current mancunian I can report the following
1. News on the manchester eruv can be found on it’s website manchestereruv.org.uk
2. The eruv went live this shabbos for the first time and the brocho was said on thursday, (although for some unknown reason the website still has the eruv status as ‘not checked’ as of 9.30pm motzei shabbos)
3. It is highly unusual to get a general consensus of rabbonim anywhere when it comes to a town eruv and manchester, sadly, is no exception. Some rabbonim allow it, some said only if theres a real tzoirech, some say it needs a few things changing first – and the eruv committee ARE ACTIVELY looking into this, some have told their own shul that it’s better not to use it, and some rabbonim have absolutely forbidden using it.
4. notasheep: your information is inaccurate, unfortunately.
5. Popa: Manchester City is not United…

This shabbos just passed, the fifteenth of the eleventh, you may notice that the sixteenth of the sixteenth has all 22 of the 22 which is, of course, not the complete set. To see it with the final versions you should look at the eighth of the third in the ninth of the twelve, who comes some 800 years later.
Can you explain?
How unique! A popa thread with a small explosion! The majority of popa threads lead to a large explosion…
In the UK it began snowing heavily as shabbos/tu bishvat came in. This morning, while looking out of the windows at the beautiful pure white scene outside, the kids said that it has snowed on tu bishvat to put a kittel on the trees as its rosh hashana for them!

It was invented by a big shot ROOKIE BISHOP who thought of himself as the GRAND MASTER, and he lived in a CASTLE with a KING and QUEEN who had 8 RANKS of HORSES, but he failed to grasp, even EN PASSANT, that he was but a PAWN in their hands. While overseeing the Royal treasury he was very casual, especially with wages. It is alleged that, as an OPENING GAMBIT, he once handed over old currency to the senior KNIGHT while shouting “here is your CHECK, MATE”, to which came the COUNTERGAMBIT retort “its also a little STALE, MATE”
