About the eruv

The Leeds Eruv was established in 2023 and covers a wide area of Alwoodley, Moortown, Chapel Allerton and Roundhay. Please consult the map on this website for the exact boundaries. 

Within an Eruv, you can carry certain items outside your home in the same way as you can within your own house and your garden. Please follow the simple instructions below.

All properties inside the green lines are included in the eruv. If your house is on the green line, then your property is most likely included, but you should check with a Rabbi. More details can be found on the MAP page. 

To make use of the eruv, you first need to check it is operational.  There is a traffic light system on this website, please look before Shabbat starts. A green logo will be shown when the eruv has been checked. If there is a problem with the eruv, then a red logo will be displayed, and you should not carry anything.
