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 L eV oint9g I 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." I (We reserve the right to limit quantities, and or withdraw from sale.) I 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 • . 4 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.)
