Reply To: New Brooklyn Eruv: Time to Accept?

“communal norm”??
Well who was the first to actually have an eruv in the Brooklyn Queens area if not Rav Moshe with the KGH eruv. So please don’t create norms out of whole cloth. Besides, there were eruvs in nyc over 100 years ago, so regardless of how many people did or did not rely on it the “norm” was already established. How about the Baltimore eruv which Rav Moshe supported (according to RAv Heineman shlita), where it was also against the “communal norm” of that city where jews resided already for 100 years by then.
