BREAKING NEWS: Historic Ruling on WHB Eruv Dear Friends, On Tuesday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held: 1) LIPA, although part of the State of New York, did not violate the separation of Church and State in permitting the establishment of an Eruv by affixing Lechis to its utility poles and the State did not thereby establish a religion 2) Making an Eruv is an accommodation to religious freedom condoned and protected by the U.S. Constitution 3) Making an Eruv is much less problematic constitutionally than placing a crèche on public property or permitting prayers in public schools 4) The lawsuit brought by Arnold Scheiffer, and the Jewish People opposed to the Eruv (JPOE) was properly dismissed by the lower court and will not be permitted. Their claim is over. 5) Additionally, no state or federal court has ever supported opposition to an Eruv Congratulations to the Weil Gotshal legal team and the East End Eruv Association on this historic achievement! Sincerely, Rabbi Marc Schneier Morris Tuchman Founding Rabbi President newyorklawjournal/id=1202714182244/Second-Circuit-Rules-Utilities-Can-Allow-Eruv-Markers?rss=rss_ny&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&slreturn=20150008103854 thejewishweek/news/long-island-news/victory-eruv-supporters-hamptons newsday/long-island/towns/court-rules-eruv-can-remain-in-place-in-westhampton-beach-1.9779390 jta.org/2015/01/06/news-opinion/united-states/appeals-court-upholds-westhampton-beach-eruv 27east/news/article.cfm/Westhampton-Beach-Surrounding-Areas/92981/Court-Upholds-Eruv-Ruling-Boundary-To-Stay-In-Place-In-Westhampton-Beach
