Founder December 14,
2005 Dear
friends, Just a few years
ago, there was no eruv in College Park, and
"Shabbos Belts" were the fad. Now, people can bring
food and drinks to each others apartments, young
families can push strollers with their adorable
children, and everyone can enhance their
oneg, or enjoyment of Shabbat. Our community
Eruv extends around the entire University of
Maryland, and includes a signifigant amount of
off-campus housing. Each week, the eruv is checked
thouroughly by trained student volunteers, and the
status posted by noon on Friday. The support of
students and members of the community is necessary
so that the eruv can continue to function for years
to come at the University of Maryland. We are critically
short of volunteers and leaders who are willing to
step up and assume some of the responsibilities
relating to the eruv. Any help that you can provide
would not only be greatly appreciated, but your
efforts can help to continue to enhance the
ruach and zechut of our community for
years to come. If you have any
questions or concerns, or wish to volunteer, please
contact Shlomit Nulman at snulman@umd.edu. Thank you for
your support in making sure the College Park Eruv
stays around for many years to come. Sincerely, Harris M.
Cohen Former President,
