A new name for an eruv? - The Jewish Standard

I would like to suggest an out-of-the-box approach to the eruv that no doubt will avoid the need to go to court (“Another eruv right, Aug. 10).

Instead of presenting the issue as a symbolic enclosure that allows observant Jews to perform certain tasks on Shabbat, promote it as a rest stop for birds. This humane gesture would certainly appeal to Jews and non-Jews alike and meet all non-discriminatory requirements.
