An [W] eruv (plural eruvim) is a Jewish religious boundaries for allowing activities that are normally prohibited on [W] Shabbat. Recently, eruvim have been appearing in many places around the world. Most notably in New York, but also in other places such as North London. Mapping eruvim is slightly confusing due to the lack of information on how, and the relevant tags to use. However, not much custom tagging is needed.
