Bs"d בס"ד
Kfar Chabad was founded in 1949 by the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, in 1956 Rabbi Shneur Zalman Garelik established the eruv for Kfar Chabad upon completion of the eruv a letter was received from the Rebbe with a blessing: "Mazel Tov on completing the Eruv in a good and a auspicious time, and it should be the will of G-d that through this act that adds to the observance of Shabbos it will hasten the coming of the redemption, as is known the verse from the sages that if Shabbos will be kept we will immediately be redeemed".
כפר חב״ד נוסד בשנת ה'תש'ט על ידי אדמו"ר הקודם רבי יוסף יצחק שניאורסון. בשנת ה'תשט"ז הרב שניאור זלמן גרליק הקים העירוב בכפר חב״ד, בזמן סיום העירוב התקבל מכתב הרבי עם ברכה. "מזל טוב בעד גמר העירוב בשעה טובה ומוצלחת, ויהי רצון שעל ידי פעולה זו הנוספת בעניני שמירת שבת יתקרב עוד יותר זמן גאולתנו בפועל, וכנודע מאמר רז"ל
אלמלי שמרו ישראל שבת אחד מיד הן נגאלין.
שלחן ערוך אורח חיים ב' סימן שצ"ה.
מצוה לחזר בין אחר עירובי חצירות ובין אחר שיתופי מובאות ועל שניהם מברך על מצות עירוב
its a mitzva to establish a eruv in your courtyard and in the city and on both you make the blessing.
וכמו כן מצות עירובין ששלימות סטרא אחרא ברשות הרבים דוקא, וכשיש שני חצרים על ידי עירוב ממשיך המשכה לחברם להיות רשות אחת, שלא ישלוט הסטרא אחרא ".
Just as the mitzva of Eruvin the evil spirit resides in a public domain ( a domain that doesn't have a eruv) and through having a eruv you combine multiple domains to be united as one which blocks the evil spirit.
Reb Asher Herson A Shliach of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, This happened approximately the year of 1992, Rabbi Herson asked the Rebbe whether to build a Eruv in Rockaway NJ. I wrote in saying that as a result I would turn to Rabbi Shimon Eider Who was considered the expert at the time in this area. I asked if I should undertake this big project, which it was for me at the time, and the Rebbe said to do it , and then added: without delay. Hatzlacha Rabba Umuflaga!!
In the month of Adar 5746 (1986) the chief Rabbinate of Israel, Harav Mordechai Eliyahu & Harav Avrohom Shapiro met with the Rebbe to discuss important matters of world Jewry including the topic of establishing eruvin in the Holy land and worldwide.
In conclusion the Rebbe emphasizes.
1. We rule Shishim Ribu trans versing on a passageway is a condition for Reshus harabim according to the Admur Hazakein (Baal Hatanya and Shulchan Aruch) and therefore a Reshus harabim is not in existence in our present time.
2. There are those that cause conflict and confusion about Eruvin, but its obviously a mitzvah according to the (Talmud) Gemora, and you must make a Brocha with Hashem name etc etc. And we see clearly that with the eruv we are saved from some severe hardships.
3. Having straight road (mefulash) is a condition for Reshus Harabim (that all agree on including the stringent opinion) and cities of our times don’t have straight roads crossing the entire city however the old cities did have roads that were Mefulash meshar leshar (straight across from entrance to exit)
The holy handwriting of the Rebbe Rashab
In the year 1910 Adar Sheni 5670 the Rebbe Rashab compiled 37 requests to be sent to the Russian government, request #25 was to allow an eruv to be built in every city.
Harav Menashe Klein who advocated to establish eruvin in New York city and in Brooklyn, wrote many halachic responsa and wrote about the support from the torah leaders to establish eruvin in large cities which included in a 1981 responsa the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the Rosh Yeshiva of 770 Harav Yisroel Yitzchok Piekarsky & Rosh Yeshiva of Newark (later Morristown) Harav Meir Greenberg
