The University City Eruv Corporation, founded in October 1997, is a non-profit corporation commissioned to build and maintain the University City Eruv.

The University City Eruv Corporation:

• attained all needed legal authority for the construction of the eruv,
• secured and holds the property rights for the "communal" region and all eruv components,
• is responsible for the long term maintenance of the eruv, and
• assumes all responsibilities relating to the eruv property and structures.

The University City Eruv Corporation has Executive Officers and a Board of Directors. Our officers are students (both undergraduate and graduate) as well as alumni of the University of Pennsylvania. The five board members are people dedicated in their recognition of the importance of the eruv project in University City.

The Kashrut of the Eruv is certified by Rabbi Shimon Eider of Lakewood, NJ. Routine maintenance and repairs are performed by Rabbi Raphael Szmerla of Lakewood, NJ. Questions regarding routine Eruv repairs are directed to a local Orthodox Rabbi under the guidelines set forth by Rabbi Eider.
