City planners will hear Eruv line proposal
Today, May 25, the City of San Diego Planning Commission will hear Congregation Adat Yeshurun’s proposal to install 12 poles throughout La Jolla and University City to create an Eruv line.
The Eruv line, comprising poles, existing fences and natural canyon boundaries, will transform the area into a private domain under Jewish law, allowing orthodox Jews to carry items on the Sabbath within the boundary.
The poles will join to one another across the streets via thin wire, secured at the top of the pole. The boundary line will extend from La Jolla Village Drive to the North, Interstate 5 to the east, La Jolla Parkway to the south and Torrey Pines Road to the West
The La Jolla Shores Advisory Board voted to approve the project, while the La Jolla Community Planning Association denied it. The planning commission hearing begins at 9 a.m.
For Adat’s proposal, see the agenda at www.sandiego.gov/planning, click on Boards & Commissions and click under Planning Commission, or call Sarah Osborn, (619) 533-5931.
