Immigrants Need
Gestures Book
Tel Aviv — Israeli "body lan-
guage" should be taught to im-
migrants according to an educa-
tional sociologist at Bar-Ilan
University.
Raphael Schneller says new
immigrants, particularly Ethio-
pians, risk being misunderstood
because different groups attach
different meanings to the same
gestures.
In a recent study of Ethiopian
immigrants, Schneller found
that the "hand push," which
means "leave me alone" to an
Israeli, is a friendly greeting to
an Ethiopian. The "hand flick,"
which means "enough already"
to an Israeli, means "I love you"
to a newcomer from Ethiopia.
Sabbath Prohibitions

wires. Why, he was asked. "Be-
cause it's the holy wire!"
Asked if the creation of the
eruv would attract young
couples into the community,
Roberg said that the eruv per se
would not. He added, however,
that the combined communal ef-
fort to create the eruv would be
'attractive to persons seeking to
settle in a community.
In a statement to The Jewish
News about organizing the eruv,
Rabbi Drucker said:
"It took well over 1,000 hours,
but it was well worth it. The
Talmud tells us that God bes-
towed a special gift upon the
Jewish people by giving them
the Sabbath. Many individuals
try their best to keep all its
laws, but even the most edu-
cated at times make mistakes in
regard to carrying. It certainly
is a great mitzvah to make sure
that this special gift does not
tarnish."

City fathers were educated that
the construction of the eruv
would not constitute promotion
of a religion, rather its accom-
modation.
Only persons trained to look
for specific markings would rec-
ognize them. The ertiv has no ef-
fect on the general community.
As stipulated by Torah law,
partitions forming the eruv
boundary may be made of a
tzurat hapesach or a door
frame-like structure — two up-
rights and a lintel. This door
frame, together with continous
walls and fences must continue
in succession around the eruv
perimeters. (Oftentimes, utility
poles exist continuously down a
street or thoroughfare.)
The Edison poles were used to
make the boundary for a variety
of reasons. First, cost. They're
already there. Also they help
create the series of "door
frames" necessary to have an
eruv.
The prescribed frame must be
at least 40 inches high and the
lintel (wire) must pass directly
over the two side poles without
anything interceding. Just as
the Southfield eruv uses lechi —
markers — on its poles, so does
the Oak Park eruv. The mar-
kers, one-inch ground moldings
purchased from Detroit Edison,
capped with a furniture tip are
nailed all the way up to the
most available horizontal wire
on the pole. Edison linemen
were instructed not to move the
wire.
Rabbi Drucker related that he
had met an Edison lineman and
asked him if he had learned
about the eruv. The lineman
said he had, and told Rabbi
Drucker what he had learned.
When the rabbi asked the man
if he had received any special
instructions about eruv, the
man said he was very strongly
advised not to move any of the

Following is a list of ac-
tivities outlined in the eruv
user's manual that are pro-
hibited on Shabbat, even
with the presence of an
eruv:
• Bicycle riding, swim-
ming, skating, sledding, and
jogging. Tricycle riding for
young children is permitted.
• Shovelling' snow, gar-
dening, raking leaves, pick-
ing or moving fallen fruits
or flowers.
• Watering the lawn or
playing in a sprinkler.
• Bringing refuse to the
curb.
• Mailing letters on
Shabbat.
• Carrying items to be
used after Shabbat, such as
office keys.
• One may not check out
or return books to the li-
brary.
• One may not pick up
. .. •
:
merchandise from a store on
Shabbat, even if it has been
paid for in advance of Shab-
bat.
• One may not carry an
umbrella on Shabbat or
Yom Tov, even if it was
opened, beforehand.
• One may not feed birds
or animals.
• One may not attend
theaters, movies or sporting
events, even if the ticket
was purchased before Shab-
bat.
• One may -not carry
items which are considered
such as a
Muktza,
pocketbook, wallet, pencil,
money or credit cards.
(Muktza refers to the pro-•
hibition of carrying certain
items on Shabbat even
within one's home because
they have no use on Shab-
bat, the user's manual
states.)
