An Eruv is an area within which observant Jews can carry or push objects on Shabbat without violating the Jewish law that prohibits carrying anything except within the home. 

​

An Eruv must be 'completely enclosed'. The area is not enclosed by building a special wall round it - most of it is enclosed by existing natural boundaries like railway lines or walls. What matters is that the area is completely enclosed by boundaries that conform to Jewish law. 

​

The Barnet Eruv has been up and running for some years now. For further information and to see if it is in operation please go to https://www.eruv.co.uk/
