Please join Alderman Wynne, Alderman Fiske and Alderman Revelle on Tues. Feb. 27 at 7 p.m., Morton Civic Center, Room 2404 to discuss a plan to expand the eruv in Evanston.

Spiritual leaders of the Jewish faith communities in Evanston propose the expansion of the existing eruv in Evanston east of the North Shore channel.
Under Jewish law, it is forbidden to carry anything from an enclosed "private" domain into an open "public" area on the Sabbath.  An eruv, a technical enclosure that surrounds both private and public domains, thus creating a large private domain in which carrying things is permitted on the Sabbath.
