The University City Eruv Corporation is a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining an eruv around portions of University City, Philadelphia. Established in 1997, the corporation serves to support the observant Jewish community, including students from the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, by allowing for the transport of items on the Sabbath. Since its declaration as kosher in 2002, the eruv has been maintained by a team of volunteers and overseen by designated rabbinic authorities. The organization relies on community donations to cover maintenance costs and ensure the continued operation of this vital communal resource. Generated from the website
