Congregation Beth Israel Abraham and Voliner is located in Overland Park, a beautiful economically independent suburb of Kansas City. BIAV members who wish to live within walking distance to the shul can chose from a variety of housing options, from apartments to customer homes. We have an Eruv, which is under regular supervision by the VAAD of Kansas City, and an Eruv Committee. The following proclamation was issued by the city of Overland Park, Kansas to commemorate the establishment of the Eruv. P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, the Sabbath Laws of Biblical and Talmudic origin prohibit the transport of articles outside the “communal domain” even by hand; and
WHEREAS, the Jewish Community of Overland Park in Johnson County, Kansas has petitioned me for formal recognition of their right to consider themselves a communal domain and for my agreement of their establishment of an Eruv in a certain area of Overland Park designated on the map attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, such recognition does not confer any special property rights to the Jewish Community of Overland Park, but is solely to facilitate their ritual observance of Sabbath laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ED EILERT, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF OVERLAND PARK, in Johnson County, Kansas, issue this proclamation in honor of said Jewish Community of Overland Park in Johnson County, Kansas, recognizing their right to consider themselves a communal domain and acceding in the name of the City of Overland Park in Johnson County to the ritual integrity of this domain and designated area of enclosure.
DONE this 1st day of February, 1994.
Ed Eilert, Mayor
City of Overland Park, Kansas
