Here's an interesting discussion about the eruvin (singular: eruv) of Toronto.

The eruv is an enclosure that marks where observant Jews can carry their possessions during the Sabbath. Often, these are marked by walls, fences, and/or wires.

Here's a video about eruvin:


Believe it or not, the Greater Toronto Area has three eruvin:

Religions kill me.

People found the proscriptions too tough so they did what people do best and loopholed their way out of it.

Thanks for posting this....I didn't know it was a thing.
