In many communities, the rabbi is given the honor of performing this ritual on behalf of the community. Even if the residents forgot to set aside a new <em>eruv<\/em> before Pesa\u0125, as long as the old <em>eruv<\/em> is still in existence, one may continue carrying throughout the enclosed area.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>eruv<\/em> must be placed in one box or bag. The custom is to leave it in the synagogue or nearby, as the synagogue is a communal space.<\/p>\n<p>Before setting aside the <em>eruv<\/em>, one must make sure that it belongs to all residents of the city. Therefore, the person charged with setting aside the <em>eruv<\/em> first lifts the <em>matzot<\/em> one <em>tefa\u0125<\/em> with the intent to acquire them on behalf of all the city\u2019s residents.

Afterward, he should recite:<\/p>\n<p>With this <em>eruv<\/em> it shall be permitted to us (all the people living here in the town, city, or courtyard) to bring things in and out \u2013 from the houses to the yard and the yard to the houses, from house to house, from yard to yard, from roof to roof, from houses and yards to alleyways, and from alleyways to houses and yards in this city \u2013 for us, all who live here, and whoever joins us during all upcoming <em>Shabbatot<\/em> and holidays.
