Special thank you to Rabbi Duvie Zomick and his crew for their selfless dedication to the maintenance of the Eruv on the highest level. Through hot and cold, early Shabbos, late Shabbos, pre-corona, post-corona, they have continued to do whatever is necessary to allow the Five Towns to carry on Shabbos.
We would like to acknowledge the students of the Yeshiva Gedolah of the Five Towns who check the Eruv weekly, and even returned to the area during the high of the Corona virus just to check the Eruv.
