Tampa Bay Community Eruv
On Shabbat, Jewish law restricts carrying objects in public spaces. The Chabad Social Circle Community Eruv unites our neighborhood, allowing families to push strollers, carry keys, and walk to shul together with peace of mind.
Maintenance and status
A team of dedicated volunteers inspects the eruv every Friday to ensure it remains kosher before Shabbat begins.
When repairs are needed or if the eruv is down, we broadcast immediate updates through our WhatsApp group.

Essential boundary guidelines
- Check before you carry: always verify your specific route on the map below before Shabbat. Never assume an entire neighborhood is covered.
- Perimeter streets require caution: boundary lines often follow specific sides of a street. For example, on Ehrlich Road (westbound from S Village Drive), only the south sidewalk is inside the eruv for the first 200 feet.
- Hosting guests? Tell your visitors ahead of time which walking routes fall safely within the eruv.
