ERUV TECHUMIN

On Shabbat and festivals, it is a rabbinic prohibition to walk more than 2000 cubits (slightly more than 3000 ft.) outside the city. One who needs to walk further than this, may establish his “residence” outside the city by placing food for the amount of two meals within 2000 cubits of the city limits, before Shabbat or the festival. One can then walk 2000 cubits from that point in any direction one desires. See Laws, page 607.

After placing the food in the designated place, recite the following:

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר
קִדְּשָׁנוּ* בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ עַל מִצְוַת עֵרוּב:

Chabad

boruch atoh Adonoy Eloyheinu melech ho-oylom, asher
kid'shonu* b'mitzvoysov, v'tzivonu al mitzvas eiruv:

If one is making an eruv for the public, one should add [after “for us”] “for so-and-so” or “for the people of ....”

Hebrew

בְּדִין יְהֵא שָׁרֵא לָנָא לֵילַךְ מִמָּקוֹם זֶה אַלְפַּיִם
אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ:

Chabad

b'din y'hei shorei lono leilach mimokoym zeh alpayim
amoh l'chol ruach:

Eruv Techumin is only operative for one who is aware that an eruv has been made. Therefore, before Shabbat, one must inform the concerned parties that an eruv has been made for them.

A rabbi should be consulted when planning an Eruv Techumin.
