Erev Shabbat Parshat Vayigash 5785

Erev-Shabbat Candle Lighting Time Friday - 4:12pm

*please note Magen & CPD have informed us to continue to look around the neighborhood and stay diligent and report any concerns to any of them or call 911 if needed. 

 
(see below)
* Please note the Peterson Park/Lincolnwood Eruv and the Skokie Eruv have been down on and off recently so please check their Eruv also, if you plan to cross over to those areas. 

You can’t cross to Skokie at McCormick or on the river path currently! *

*Skokie Eruv Announcement:
In 2017, the Skokie Eruv was Connected to the Eruvin in Lincolnwood, Peterson Park and West Rogers Park.

The Skokie Eruv’s southern boundary is the Lincolnwood/Peterson Park Eruv’s
northern boundary. The Eruv border runs along the Skokie Swift train tracks (between Oakton St and Howard St). North of the train tracks is the Skokie Eruv.
South of the train tracks is the Lincolnwood/Peterson Park Eruv.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the McCormick Blvd connection is down and in need of repairs. Until further repairs are completed, you may not carry from
Skokie into Lincolnwood/Peterson Park or West Rogers Park via McCormick Blvd. One cannot carry in the opposite direction as well.

We will issue a communication to the Community after repairs are complete.

You may still carry from Skokie into Lincolnwood/Peterson Park via East Prairie Rd, Crawford Ave, and Kostner Ave. (Making sure you check each Eruv’s status before Shabbat) 

As A Reminder:

1. Baruch Hashem, the integrity of the Skokie Eruv is intact and you can carry within the confines of the Skokie Eruv.
2. You may NOT carry from Skokie into Evanston to get to West Rogers Park. The eastern border of the Skokie Eruv runs along the western side of
   the North Shore Channel. You may NOT carry across the Golf, Church, Dempster, Main or Oakton bridges. In order to carry from Skokie into
   West Rogers Park, you must walk down East Prairie Rd, Crawford Ave or Kostner Ave. You may NOT go farther east than the bike/walking path at any point from Golf Rd to Oakton St.
3. Please take a few minutes to visit https://eruvstat.us/skokie view the online map for the boundaries of the Skokie Eruv, to sign up for the weekly email/texts announcing the status of the eruv, and to take part in helping to uphold and maintain a crucial element of our Jewish community.
