During the reception hours, the rabbanim of the Eruvin Committee of the Beis Din of Kiryas Joel came in to Kiryas Joel and presented a report to the Rebbe shlit"a on the many activities of the committee over the past year for the many eruvin throughout Kiryas Joel and in all the neighborhoods of greater Kiryas Joel. Among other things, in recent weeks the eruv for the Kedushas Levi neighborhood was completed, as well as the massive project of connecting all the eruvin of the neighborhoods in the Town of Monroe with the central Kiryas Joel eruv. In addition, the members of the committee's administration presented a report on the success of the campaign held in recent weeks for the benefit of the Eruvin Committee.
