Listen "Ep.13 – The Manhattan Wire"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
A thin metal wire, called an "eruv", is strung up and run around nearly the entirety of the island of Manhattan as a loophole to Jewish law to allow its robust Orthodox population to work on the Sabbath. Its been there for nearly 100 years and I bet you had no idea.
