For eruvin, we treat it as multiple cities, and that is why we accept the non-brooklyn eruvin even according to Rav Moshe's psak. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/techum-shabbosyom-tov-and-bridges#post-314532 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:31:13 +0000 midwesterner 314532@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>My boich tells me that the East River crossings are likely less than 2000 amos. They are made for walking (at least the W-brg bridge and Bkln bridge are) and in the 20s-50s, people regularly walked between Williamsburg and the East Side.</p> <p>The Verazzano Bridge is far longer than 2000 amos and was made primarily for vehicular traffic-not walkers. There may be more of a problem there.</p> <p>(I know the shiur for burganys would be 70.7 amos, but that is chutz la'ir. When you're in the city limits, we are not machmir on gaps that small.) </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/techum-shabbosyom-tov-and-bridges#post-314492 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:28:50 +0000 Sam2 314492@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Rav Schachter and his wife used to go for walks on Shabbos. They would cross part of the George Washington bridge then stop and turn around because the bridge is farther than the T'chum. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/techum-shabbosyom-tov-and-bridges#post-314491 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:28:22 +0000 yitayningwut 314491@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Don't know the first thing about Eruvin, but בוחי אמר לי that is it possible the constant flow of traffic in cars (which are reshus hayachids) extends your makom shevisah? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/techum-shabbosyom-tov-and-bridges#post-314471 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 15:55:57 +0000 popa_bar_abba 314471@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Is anyone aware of a heter to walk from long island to manhattan or the bronx or staten island on shabbos or yom tov? Doesn't it facially violate the tchum when you cross the bridge and continue 2000 ammos? </p>
