Jew Wires: Nearly All Major Cities of The World are Encased by Invisible Wires
(N.Morgan) A mysterious fact that is unknown to many is there are translucent fishing lines that create an enclosure around hundreds of cities throughout the world.
Woven high above the heads of pedestrians and roofs of homes and utility poles and lamp posts, these wires are barely visible and have no affect on the lives of the millions that dwell in these cities.
However, for the orthodox Jews, these imperceptible wires that run for several miles to designate an important religious boundary that allowed the devoted to hold on to their faith.
The wires represent the boundary of a ritualistic enclosure called an eruv, a place in which observant Jews can perform certain duties that they are not allowed to do outside of home during Sabbath.
These duties are often mundane, like carrying house keys, tissues, medicines or using strollers to push babies around, but essential to daily functions of life.
Heeding the rules of Sabbath, hence, not only interferes with life but also prevents Jews from fulfilling their religious duties.
For instance, families with small children who use strollers and pushchairs or the physically disabled, who use wheelchairs, are effectively housebound. They are not allowed to attend the synagogue.
