Eruv: According to Jewish law, it is absolutely obligatory for the faithful to rest on the Sabbath. Working is prohibited, and it is forbidden to carry an article (keys or a bag, for example) from inside to outside the home. However, if one refers to the Torah, a town or a city surrounded by walls with gates is considered to be private property; and in such towns or villages a person may transfer articles from his home into the street, or from the street into his home.Today, few modern cities are enclosed by ramparts. Consequently, each person would be required to restrict his activities to the confines of home if not for the dispensations of the Law, which permit the establishment of eruvim. An eruv consists of wires (or string) that form an imaginary wall. In most cases, erecting posts that are connected by threads of galvanized steel creates these "frontiers ". The area surrounded by the eruv thus becomes a private space within which it is permitted to carry articles during the Sabbath. According to the Torah, in all villages surrounded by an eruv, the public domain may be considered private property. The stations: I asked inhabitants of Jerusalem, Israelis and Palestinians, to take me to a public place that they considered private.
