In an area stretching from Lone Tree to Castle Pines -- using fence, wall and fishing line -- the Chabad Jewish Center of South Metro Denver is exploring plans to erect Colorado's largest eruv
Avraham Mintz, rabbi at the center in Lone Tree, declined to speak to The Denver Post about the project. But the Douglas County commissionerswith the center earlier this spring that allows “the eruv monofilament line to be installed within the public right-of-way.”
Matt Williams, assistant director of public works and engineering for Douglas County, said the county’s big concern is to make sure that any line that is installed has plenty of clearance for the largest vehicles on the road.Williams said the use of a fishing line as a boundary would mostly occur along Quebec Street and Monarch Boulevard in Highlands Ranch, from C-470 to Rock Canyon High School.
“The vast majority of our eruv are solid walls — sound walls and fences along the freeways and the L.A. River,” Witkin said. “Where we cross streets and other breaks in the eruv, we use 200-pound fishing line to build ‘doorways.'”“We have three rabbinical experts that inspect the full eruv every week, and we have a four-man crew and our own lift truck that do repairs every week,” Witkin said. “We have repairs every week but since we went live, we have been up 1,550 weeks and down twice.
“There are 39 categories of creative effort through which humans improve and lift the world — building, commerce, farming, sewing, writing et. al., including logistics and shipping,” Witkin said. “On the Sabbath, we refrain from making those changes to our world.”
