The severe storms that swept through Rockland County over the last days caused extensive damage to the Monsey Eruv, leaving numerous sections in need of repair ahead of Shabbos.

Eruv officials said that strong winds and heavy rain brought down many trees, utility wires, and poles, resulting in multiple breaks throughout the Eruv. Teams spent Monday surveying the community to assess the damage and determine the scope of the repairs required.

Work is now underway to restore all affected areas, with crews working intensively throughout the week. Officials expressed hope that all repairs will be completed in time for Shabbos and that an update confirming the Eruv's status will be issued before the start of Shabbos.

The Eruv damage comes as Rockland County continues to recover from the July 4-5 storms, which caused widespread power outages, downed trees, and hazardous road conditions across the region. Cleanup and utility restoration efforts remain ongoing in many areas.
