  • A laser produces a special light but it is still light. Turning on my porch light will cause 1 photon to travel in a straight line but that does not establish an eruv, either.

    BTW, placing wires on poles and calling that a shared courtyard is like spray-painting my head black and calling that "hair". :-) It is a mistake.

    FYI, I do not carry on the Sabbath.

    It is a well-produced video nevertheless, and it gives us an opportunity to discuss this important issue.

  • no one is telling you that technology is bad. think about it this way. There is a reason that orthodox communities do not accept laser beams as eruvs. The knowledgeable orthodox Rabbi that you spoke with can absolutly show you the technicalities of constructing an eruv. The solidness to it is just one aspect. there are other issues as well. All can be found in Jewish law texts that your knowledgeable orthodox Rabbi has.

  • I asked a local knowledgeable orthodox rabbi who told me "It's a controversy." How do we determine what is 'solid'? A laser has matter. I'm not trying to make trouble but I want proof one way or the other. I'm sick of running away from technology.

  • because an eruv requires a solid wire or a solid enclosure. You can learn the proper Halacha (law)in various Jewish texts. Or you can ask your local Knowledgeable orthodox Rabbi.

  • Why is it not kosher? Would you please back that statement up? Thanks in advance.

  • definitely not kosher.... funny though

  • Conceptually interesting, but I wonder if it is kosher.
