Sharon has an Eruv and is maintained under the direct supervision of Rabbi Noah Cheses of Young Israel of Sharon. With our Eruv volunteers, the Eruv is checked on a weekly rotation basis to insure that it is intact and that all necessary repairs are made.
Founded in 1990, the Sharon Eruv, was constructed and maintained in close consultation with its original Rav HaMakhshir, Rav Shimon Eider, Ztz"l. We are grateful for the profound Torah wisdom, halakhic guidance and personal attention we received from Rav Eider, Ztz"l, and we mourn his loss with all Klal Yisrael. We are thankful and honored to have Rav Moshe Heinemann, Shlit"a, as our current Rav HaMakhshir.
For Eruv status, contact; 781-784-4299 For Eruv Map and additional information, log onto www.sharoneruv.org.

Community Support Liaison, JF&CS
Hi, my name is Talia and I am a social worker from JF&CS, as well as a member here at Young Israel of Sharon. In my JF&CS role as Community Support Liaison, I work with synagogues to help connect their members with resources for themselves and their families. JF&CS offers resources that serve the community across the lifespan from infancy to end of life. Types of resources and support include but are not limited to financial assistance, mental health, case management, disability services, food insecurity, domestic abuse, aging support, and referrals to services. In addition to working with individuals and families, I work to facilitate meaningful and engaging programming for the communities I serve. Please reach out anytime. I would love to connect with you.
