The establishment of a mostly invisible religious boundary that would encompass most of Westhampton Beach and Quogue villages, allowing Orthodox Jews to push and carry objects to temple on the Sabbath, has been a point of contention for some residents for more than four years—and counting.
Proponents of the boundary are being led by the East End Eruv Association, the not-for-profit that picked up the baton after religious leaders at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach first pitched the idea in 2008. Representatives of the group are insisting that any and all attempts to block the boundary’s creation violate the constitutional rights of those who would benefit from it, namely the observant religious Jews who make their homes, or second homes, near the Sunset Avenue synagogue.

Here's where I "turn poeple off" ": Isn't religion really just a cheap way to explain science?
Before the periodic table, there was Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and later Aether.
WE'VE GOT A NEW DEMI-GOD!! You're gonna' love 'im!!!
Yet logic woks here. If you found a rock would you say it was divinely placed at that spot? No. Two rocks in a row? No. A string of rocks in a row..maybe but most likely not because our observation is that rocks are usually random and perhaps there was a hand that laid these in a line. What is that line went alway around the earth. ...more Now it is starting to sound like a planned event and not the randomness of nature. Now let's jump to the Universe. We have our solar system and galaxies and billions of stars if not more working in distances our mind cannot readily comprehend using physics understood by few. That sir is probably not random. I think the more you learn in science the more you come to realize chance did not create it. What ever divine notion one harbors, whatever they believe that role is involved in our daily lives is personal...but the proof is in nature and it is all around us.
That being said I can't tell you why is we are made in God's image but I get bad breath, body odor and motion sickness. Go figure
I've seen the wind roll snowballs.
Nature is full of "odd" behavior...
To have a rule that you go through all these machinations to basically subvert the rule is silly. This reeks of a bunch of 5 year olds in clubhouse who make rules to keep people out but make exceptions to justify what they do and with whom they do it.
Harsh...maybe so. But I can't wait to see the first stroller being pushed from ...more QUOGUE to Sunset Avenue. Ain't happening and we all know it.
"Because we are stupid, son."
"Oh, that's what I thought. Can we get ice cream now?"
"Sure."
Do the various state and federal courts have the authority to require that the parties post a bond for all costs and fees if they lose?
Is there a motion in any court to combine all cases in one venue (normally this would be a federal court)?
