(x-post)
I am doing a little out-of-pocket research on the six Orthodox Jewish eruvim
in a Washington, D.C., suburban county. The project page for Courtyards of
<http://historian4hire.wordpress.com/eruvim/> Convenience: Montgomery
County's Eruvim is at this link: <Courtyards of Convenience:
<http://historian4hire.wordpress.com/eruvim/> Montgomery County's Eruvim>.
The first three posts on mapping the eruvim; a brief video interview with an
eruv inspector; and the architecture of Montgomery County's eruvim are
already loaded. The final entries will be posted over the next four weeks.
The blog posts are a way to get additional information and to work through
some thoughts on presenting these traditional cultural landscapes. As a
consultant who works in regulatory compliance, I am interested in how
federal agencies and others may address eruvim as traditional cultural
properties within the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) and
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) frameworks.
