ERUV MAP | WILF CAMPUS
Eruv Notes
• The “Hudson Heights” (blue) and YU (Green)
eruvim border each other, thus you can carry
between the two eruvim. For more information
about the eruvim please visit yueruv.org and
mtsinaishul.com.
• The Fort Tryon buildings north of 192nd Street
can only be accessed from the entrances on 192nd
or Bennett; do not enter or exit those buildings
from Broadway, since the building itself forms the
eastern wall of the eruv.

ERUV MAP | BEREN CAMPUS
Eruv Notes
• The Beren Campus Eruv connects with
other eruvim in manhattan. For more detailed
information about this and other eruvim please

only the West side of the street is within the eruv.
