Surveillance video captured footage that apparently depicts a vandal pulling down a controversial Brooklyn eruv.
Still photos from the video were sent to COLlive.com, as police seek those responsible for the repeated vandalization of the controversial Eruv erected by a Modern Orthodox synagogue near Crown Heights.
The surveillance footage was taken at 7:30 am on Sunday, July 10 outside the Brooklyn Museum at the intersection of Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue.
Police are investigating another damaged segment of the Eruv near Pacific Street, a few blocks away, a source who has knowledge of the investigation told COLlive.com.
The source said that a witness at a mechanic shop on Pacific Street told police they saw “two Chasidic men approaching the Eruv with a ladder and
taking down a string.”
While the video quality is poor and identifying features are difficult to make out, Police are in possession of other video footage as well, which “may be clearer,” the source said.
The repeated vandalism to the newly built eruv is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force, the NYPD said Wednesday, DNAInfo reported.
The eruv, a religious enclosure made of string hung between light poles and walls, was cut multiple times in Crown Heights following an uproar over the symbolic boundary between the Lubavitch Jewish community — which traditionally does not use eruvs — and a Modern Orthodox synagogue who pushed to build the structure.
Hate crime investigators took over the case this week from detectives at the 77th Precinct, according to DNAInfo.
Following its official opening in mid-June by Congregation Kol Israel, the Modern Orthodox synagogue located at 603 St. Johns Pl., vandals destroyed the eruv’s lines, which symbolizes the area where observant Jews may carry or move items outside the home on the Sabbath.
The destruction of the spiritual border took place in multiple locations on July 8 and 14 inside the borders of the new Greater Crown Heights Eruv, stretching from Pacific Street to Clarkson Avenue from north to south and from Prospect Park and Washington Avenue to Buffalo Avenue from west to east.
MAP:
The above map, created by the Congregation Kol Israel, shows where the Greater Crown Heights eruv (in grey) has been erected. Two smaller eruvs built previously by the synagogue are depicted in blue and purple.
As of Wednesday, no suspects have been identified in the case, police said.
“Some say it’s kosher” doesn’t make a difference. See Bava Metzia 66a, where Rav Nachman holds that a certain type of document is valid, whereas Rav Yehudah disagreed and tore it up.
Another example might be ibid. 59a, where the Chachamim who disagreed with R. Eliezer “burned all of the things that he had declared tahor” (although maybe that’s a special case, since in fact he was outvoted).
And who gave you permission to go the the authorities regarding someone who may have pulled down some useless strings which some self rightness fools call an eruv
are you comparing this guy to S. Munkes?
on what ground does he have a right to destroy a property (that some say is Kosher)?
Just remember that as a Jew you may not inform on another Jew.
I am #62, thank you very much for your support.
Just for the record, I am a “she”, not a “he”. 🙂
We’re not saying he had a right or didn’t have a right to break the eruv. Rather, that you cannot call him metzer harabim,and permit mesira unless we are sure he passeled a kosher eruv.
If not, one is at least risking behind a safek mossur. This is even worse than being a Mechalel shabbos.
According to you, did t Shmuel munkes have a right to throw out the delicious lung, which”he felt” wasn’t kosher.
1.Rabbi Wosner, are you telling the people of another shachunah not to listen to all their rabbonim both present and past? could you please quote all the halachos and maforshim concerning not listining to your rabbonim. 2.Your own chavarim rabbonon of Monsey told you not to mix into to the rabbonim of Crown Heights. 3. Your father Rabbi Shamuel Wosner was an ish ha’shalom and would not tell people, not to listen to their rabbonon.. 4. I think you are wrong concerning the eruv of Lakewood . a) Some people have made small eruvin,not one that goes around the entire… Read more »
“Since many are of the opinion that this is no eruv, how is he metzer harabim? He has rabbonim who say he did nothing, since there was no eruv anyway.”
even according your words “many” are the opinion so there are “some ” who say “is Kosher” eruv
on what right he has a heter to destroy somebody else property? if they serving at a simcha some food that”many rabbonim”don’t hold about the hecsher can i go and destroy it( the food ) or spoil the simcha??
– applies to those who put up the eruv,
Not those who took it down….
Those who put it up are giving ppl the false belief that there is a kosher eruv that they may carry in and causing them to b mechalel shabbos.
Those that take it down are trying to save ppl from this false hope.
Either way not allowed to carry here, at least if they hear the eruv is down they may decide not to.
This is clear mesirah. Dince many are of the opinion that this is no eruv, how is he metzer harabim? He has rabbonim who say he did nothing, since there was no eruv anyway. Just as one who relyes on an eruv which is a machlokes cannot be called Mechalel shabbos. Crown heights is obviously different where there is no rav who publicly takes responsibility for the eruv and it’s as if is not there, as the psak of many rabbonim, so the one who uses it is Mechalel shabbos , and the one who informs on him is a… Read more »
First they go against the Rebbe, Rabonim and community by putting up an eruv, and they try to put yidden in jail…
Hashem yerachem, who are these eruv rav??
I forgot many points, but for now I will mention three points (among many others). One: when the rebbe was asked by rabbi moscovitch for a haskomo to his work permitting an eruv in manhattan, the rebbe responded that he can’t for a number of reasons, one of which is: that he would have to go through the work thoroughly and he does not have time. Never the less, when the rebbe writes about using the Eruv for a regular frum jew, he says one should not use it in practice. He said this while not looking into it thoroughly,… Read more »
Yidden, who are we to ask for punishments and what gives? This is not the way of Torah. Had the eiruv people done things in the proper way, this would not have happened. Everyone here is mistaken and let’s not be self-righteous. It hurts our G-dly souls to be judges. let’s revamp our yiddishkeit each of us be more loving
i am not for this eiruv but i still don’t believe this is right! i hope they catch these guys who are CRIMINALS! it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in the eiruv..this is wrong.
is one step away from not frum….the kids either totally turn away once they catch on you can pick and choose…or if youre verrry lucky, theyll be baalei teshuva.
but dont beieve for a second that theyll remain ‘modern orthodox’ like you….
the eiruv itself!!!
shabbos kodesh is one of the main things that define a frum jew. if it was so simple……… an eiruv would be up years ago.
i definitely read that whole thing
This is the Halacha ” vandalized the eruv”
But. Ein morim ken
Very simple
Many ppl in Lubavitch would spiritual die if the physical eruv stays ( maybe not now , but in 10 years, little by little)
New generation hardly wear a hat ( only on Shabbos) no too much tzniut , things are going in the eruv use direction , means that Lubavitch is converting rl in modern orthodox little by little
Few ppl eat only Lub shechita , this is the direction of new generation. We have to eradicate the eruv. Sakanas nefashos
The Rebbe is not just the head of Lubavitchers but a leader of world Jewery. Spend the day at the ohel or 770, look at the lines for dollars, all Jews sought out the Rebbe’s Holy advice. Why are we making distinctions between “types” of Jews and who needs to respect the Rebbe’s directives and who ch”v does not. Jews should respect the Rebbe’s directives, especially in the neighborhood known as the Rebbe’s neighborhood. Am Yisroel chai! Don’t dafka go creating machlokis out of convenience.
i hope its not a yid who is breaking the eruv
cuz that would be even a biger chlul hashem
Please everyone, hear what he said, and take it to heart!
He writes in his letter that both sides came to him, the pro-eruv to support them and the anti-eruv that he should protest. What utter nonsense! The anti-eruv people don’t need to seek out some second-rate meshuchad in another community! All of their local rabbonim concur with the psak of rov minyan ubinyan of the gedolei haposkim of the previous dor who ruled unequivocally that this eruv is 100% possul. Why would they need the intervention of Bentzy Wosner?!?
“That is not a fair mushul and it doesn’t apply”
Actually it’s too mild. Cutting one person’s electric lines only harms that person. Vandalising a communal eruv destroys the whole community’s oneg shabbos, and causes chilul shabbos, and is thus מיצר את הרבים, and the Shulchon Oruch says one may masser him.
“Even in that case, you don’t use Goyim to punish Yiden, EVER ”
That’s your opinion; the Torah disagrees.
1. What makes you think any kulos were needed for this eruv? Which “reputable poskim” would consider this eruv possul? As far as I know there aren’t any. The most any reputable posek might say is that it isn’t mehudar. And of course Lubavitchers shouldn’t use it because the Alter Rebbe wants us to be machmir like the Rambam. But to say that it’s possul?! Nobody who is expert in hilchos eruvin would agree to that. The opponents are the ones who are collecting wild and incompatible chumros from wherever they can find. Their posiiton is halachically untenable. 2. Even… Read more »
If they don’t publicly denounce the vandals, and call on anyone with information to tell the police, then they are responsible. This is the standard the Rebbe held the Satmar rabbonim to, and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
“Hate does not make a diff if you are both from the same religion”
Hating people is not a crime, and crimes motivated by hatred on grounds other than those specified in the law are not “hate crimes”. This crime was not committed because the criminals hated someone’s religion; they believe in the exact same religion themselves (contrary to #15) , so how could they hate it? Therefore it’s not eligible for a sentence enhancement.
“As far as I know, every human has the inherent right to worship and participate in their faith as they see appropriate for them. ” The Torah says otherwise. Nobody has the right to defy Hashem, and idolaters deserve the death penalty. That’s not a popular position nowadays, since it’s directly contrary to the principles on which the USA was founded, but the Torah says the founders were wrong. Incidentally, one of the things a Jew has no right to believe is that there’s something wrong with making an eruv. מי שאינו מודה בתורת עירוב has the din of a… Read more »
” To report a Jew and get a Jew in trouble using Goyim, regardless of whether the Jew did something wrong or not, is the real crime ”
Wrong. Whoever damages a communal eruv is מיצר את הרבים, and it is permitted to masser him.
“The Frierdiker Rebbe paskened that the movement with that name is heretical”
That is a wicked lie, a slander against both the Frierdiker Rebbe and all the Modern Orthodox Jews who have lived in the past 150 years or so, including rabbonim, poskim, talmidei chachomim, whose shoes you are unfit to kiss. I call on whoever moderates these comments to delete that horrible claim.
What is happening to us? Is this not madness?
Come on guys….
No offence, but some of the comments on this article and on all previous ones showes u haven’t opened a Shulchan Aruch, Sefer Hamitzvos or anything else to see what is actually the case
I have recently seen the new letter from bentzion vosner.this author has recently had family circumstances which do not allow him too much time to put forth a professional piece, but in truth this shoddy letter from this individual does not deserve that much either. What I will try to do is the following, I will try to point out but a few points, which will show that this man while writing so sharp, has just no standing with which to write in the first place. There is a central theme that should be noted, there were many great talmidei… Read more »
remember…. the rabbonim said NO to the eiruv, before it was known, several young ppl approached the rabbonim, and when they received no from every rov, they went ahead and found other sources out of crown heights, to get the eiruv up. the rabbonim are serving us, answering shailos at all times of day and night. shabbos, yom tov and weekday. my question is where are the ppl????
1) when the rabbonim of this neighborhood of crown heights all Paskend – PE ECHOD – AGAINST the eiruv, so the eiruv is NOT A KOSHER EIRUV. And I am certain, that People That G-D, TOIROH & MITZVOIS, Mater To Them – So they Definatly will Not Carry on Shabboss. 2) in Connection With The Vandalism: The rabbonim Must Take A Stand – and can Not be Two faced, ( please forgive me for the expression), If the rabbonim Believe that AL PI TOIROH the eiruv Should Be vandalized, So Write The Psak Din ALL TOGETHER ON YOUR STATIONARY –… Read more »

Aguc”h has not been able to hold a function in 770 for over 21 years because they will be beaten up. And they were the people appointed by the rebbe in legal documents to own the property. How long did you expect the eruv to last? I can not fathom the outrage. What planet have you been living on? The rabbonim should have simply said “The eruv is like OU-D, Kosher, and we do not eat it” You could spend money each week fixing the eruv, and at 4am Friday morning the drunk warriors will gird their loins to defend… Read more »
The crime is going against the Rebbe’s ratzon that there should be no Eruv
To #55
I’m sure you meant that פינחס is the one that took it down
For all those comparing this to Pinchas:
You’re equating someone who was doing zenus befarhesya with putting up an eiruv? Have you lost your mind? No one said you have to hold by the eiruv — don’t! But don’t be machtee es harabim!
The Baal Shem Tov said the way you can tell if someone loves the Oibershter is whether he loves the Oibershter’s children, i.e. other Jews. This was not limited to Jews of one’s own shita. The Barditchever famously always looked for excuses for Jews who weren’t shomer mitzvos. The Rebbe never, ever spoke bad about other Jews, or as far as I remember, even about goyim! To say the eruv is not kosher and present the halachic reasoning as to why not, is no problem. Not to use the eruv is no problem. To speak bad about the people who… Read more »
YOU WANT TO MAKE AN EIRUV? MAKE IT. YOU WANT TO TEAR IT DOWN? TEAR IT DOWN.

History repeating itself!
That is not a fair mushul and it doesn’t apply
Even in that case, you don’t use Goyim to punish Yiden, EVER
Here you have shluchim going out to make people frum, and then they go out to try to destroy an eruv that had nothing to do with Chabad, and conservative and Reform would not care about an eruv they would carry with out one, and who made you in charge of Crown Heights, there are other people that live here not just chabad. And I hope they catch the people that vandalized the eruv,
Who has the time and patience to read your very very very long Drosha?
First of all, there is no eiruv.
Second of all, even if there is an opinion that it is a valid eiruv, since it was vandalized 3 times, it has now a חזקה that it is tampered.
פינחס בן אלעזר בן אהרון הכהן

It is causing much controversy to the extent of seeking the arrest of JEWS on a hate crime!!! It is ‘liberal’ Jews who put the alter rebbe and friedeker rebbe in jail…… Where r theybwhat has become of them! Ooooh to those who put up the eoruv!
100%! First of all, it is very far from where many Lubavitchers live, and second of all, if people want to put it up, we DO NOT have to use it! I agree that if the Rebbe didn’t allow it, than OF COURSE we should NOT use it, no doubt about it, but, as a question, NOT a statement, do we have the right to tell people not to put it up? Also, it was definitely wrong of these people to vandalize it! Another thing, if the Rebbe said that we should not put it up, it was NOT his… Read more »

Sir, what exactly is wrong with you? I would LOVE to debate you abut what exactly is wrong with Modern Orthodox and why it is akin to irreligious movements you mention.

what if some vandals (or better called them terrorist) would come REPEATEDLY and cut your electric and gas line bcs you don’t keep HIS Hidurim would you say is a sin to report him????!!
an angel diid it
he is not going to be caught
do you know why?
because he is not a human being, he is an angel
a messenger from G-d
it is impossible an eruv in CH
No metzius
by breaking the eiruv, you are “indirectly” giving a hechsher!!
because, if it’s worthless, then why break it???!@!!@
With respect…. well constructed…. HOWEVER the Rebbe (& Reb Moshe) said NO…..Also, calling the opposition all kind of names such as “Sitra Achera”, “false prophet”, “Kofer” and other such doozies is also not the acceptable Torah way.
No more old people? They are our role models, our mentors! Without them, where would we be?!?!?!?
Really? Now it’s all the rabbonim’s fault and they should step down? Do you know anything about anything?!!!?!? I have personally seen countless times how the rabbonim of crown heights LIVE for the community! Answering sheilos 24/7, during shabbos meals, late at night….. They are always there! I cannot believe it has come to a point to where people speak so degradingly about our leaders, our lights in galus! The rebbe’s messengers! Shame on you.

It’s embarrassing. I don’t think the Rebbe would tell you to go cut their eruv. You don’t have to accept it, but let them be. After r are chabad and stop bad mouthing and pushing away fellow yidden.
According to reb zalman plotkah and harav natan wildow the eruv is totally against the rebbes will but whatever iif people want it up they should know that they are going against the rebbe and his will……
And also harav natan said it’s seder now meaning that this is causing bochurim to waste time but harav plotkah says “lo eechpat lee” do wtvr u want
What you do is against the rebbe
It’s obviously not Chabad Chasidim if it happened 8 am on a Sunday, which is before Chabad Chasidim even wake up.
I beg of you to desist of any controversies, this is not the best time .
I am sure The Rebbe doesnt need this, we wants unity for all.
Lubavitchers should adhere to our traditions and may we insire with love others , this creates the opposite effect.
Lets fix ourselves and may we merit the coming of Moschiach
what u show is a still pic not showing anything at all
The Eiruv has caused so many arguments with no conclusions.. I wish it was possible to just forget about it, yes Eiruv no Eiruv.. If you’re a chossid of the Rebbe don’t use it and forget that it does or doesn’t exist..
Rabbi wisner,sorry with all due respect to you, I respect the lubavitcher rebbe a lot more!besides this our neighborhood! !!!
If rabbinim don’t come out against the vandals this will continue and you’ll see a lot of copy cat vandals thinking they are in the right. Regardless in your stance of the Eiruv, GD forbid a Jew go to jail over this. Rabbinim speak up and control the situation now before a chillul Hashem is made on a national level or worse a Jew faces hate crime charges!

Hate does not make a diff if you are both from the same religion
As far as I know, every human has the inherent right to worship and participate in their faith as they see appropriate for them. One size does not fit all. Lubavitch does not “own” Crown Heights, any more than does any group. I do not understand why those who want to use it, use it; and those who do not want to use it, don’t use it. Not everyone believes the same about an erev, obviously. Isn’t that normal? Isn’t it the way of the world that differences exist? Is not Crown Heights part of the world? Ergo………
To report a Jew and get a Jew in trouble using Goyim, regardless of whether the Jew did something wrong or not, is the real crime
I don’t see how this could be a hate crime. It clearly wasn’t motivated by hatred for anyone’s religion. The vandals and the eruv makers have the same religion, and there is no hatred between them. The vandals’ motivation was to protect their turf, to project their authority, to enforce their preferences, much like any gang does. It’s reprehensible, it’s a crime, but not a “hate crime”. They should be caught and punished, but no sentence enhancement is called for.
1. He has clearly not seen any of the Rebbe’s letters expressing his reasons for opposing public eruvin in large cities.
2. Shlomo Hamelech didn’t make things easier, he made things harder. Before him there was no such thing as eruv chatzeros, because you could carry in any chatzer. He was the one who forbade carrying in a reshus hayochid with multiple owners unless you make an eruv.
The real hate crime here is causing maclokes in the community by building an Eruv and hiding behind another shul to avoid taking the blame.
I hope the Eruv comes down, and soon, so we can go back to enjoying peaceful Shabbosim together without the pressure of seeing people carrying.
You are not a Rav Poisek in Crown Heights besides all
the other facts….. So don’t mix in where OUR Rabbonim
in the name of OUR HOLY REBBE strongly disapprove
of an eiruv!!!
Putting up the eruv was not a crime at all, so how can it be a hate crime?
Just love machlokes….in any way, shape or form…its a selfishness that stops at nothing….
Good. Those criminals will get punished. This disgusting behavior is what tarnishes the chabad name. The Rebbe may not have wanted the eruv but there is no way he would have allowed destroying it.
When Mashiach comes, will he be allowed to put up an eruv?
Just finished reading your post…. NOT
The Frierdiker Rebbe paskened that the movement with that name is heretical. It has no more standing halachically than reform, conservative, reconstructionist, christianity, sabatai tzvi-ism or frankist.
And talk to Your mashpia about what you should do.
Thank GD!!
I’ll take fries with that, please.
You do not own the neighborhood! Other Jews live here too, and they have every right to put up an eruv. You don’t wnat to use it? don’t. but you have no right to destroy it.
I hope they catch them soon and make them pay at least double the expenses they caused. Perhaps some jail time, and deportation if applicable, is in order.
1) You are the one making Machlokes, just let them be.
2) You show how you really have no clue at all when you try to blame this on Chevrah Ahavas Yisroel. The Eruv was made by an actual modern orthodox Shul called Congregation Israel. Maybe there are individuals in Chevrah who like the Eruv as I am sure there are some in your shul who would like there to be an eruv too. They may have also reported on some true facts about the eruv rather than spread false messages but they certainly did not build it.
What would the Rebbe do, tear it down, or tell his people to ignore it and follow his rulings? Probably also to love modern orthodox Jews who are most importantly Jews.
Yes, it is a hate crime called sinas chinam. A baseless hatred crime.
they went against the Rebbe…
their is 10,000 jews that the rebbe called the fifth son.. that are being saved from being mechalel shabbos
to say the rebbe was against the eruv is ludicrous!!!
This eiruv is causing so much controversy and fighting. Chevras ahavas yisrael, y don’t u live up to ur name, and forgo the eiruv even though u really want it.
For those of u who consider a urselves modern orthdox, y don’t u move to one of the many modern orthodox neighborhoods in the country!

That’s ridiculous. Putting up the so called “Eiruv” was the hate crime.
No where else will you see this. Ridiculous. They need to show that they are not ‘biased against the blacks’ because they are so frightened, that they will make a mountain out of a molehill if it concerns ‘the Jews’.
