Permits the transportation of personal objects on the Sabbath on the Lower East Side of New York. This pamphlet engendered great controversy as to whether such an Eiruv as proposed, utilizing the rivers and the “El,” was valid or not. Consequently, the author includes here responsa of a number of European decisors supporting his consenting position (viz. R. Shalom Mordecai Hakohen of Brezan, Aryeh Leibush Halevi Hurwitz of Stanislav and Moses Nahum Jerusalimski of Kielce). The pamphlet was published in two stages: Pages 1-26 were published first and sent to various rabbis for their opinion. Once responses were received, pages 27-54 were published containing supporting responses.
