It's called an "eruv", not "erev rav". (erev rav is something entirely different) There's one in my neighborhood. No one seems to know or care what it is, but I know.

Right! 'Erev rav' refers to a colloquialism that was used for jews in times past: "There goes the riff raff!", hence the title - thanks!

Unbeknown to most, there are transparent wires that wrap around over 200 cities in North America — including Manhattan — to mark a religious boundary.

And every week, there is a "secret operation" to check and repair the wire in time for the weekend. We tagged along to see what it's all about.

From Google: What does Riff Raff mean in slang?

1. : a class of people who are looked down upon : rabble. 2. : rubbish. riffraff adjective.
