Montreal's Special Historical Relationship with the 'Daf"
Maybe because Montreal was blessed for many years with a chief Rabbi , Rav Hirshprung , zt'l , a talmid muvhak of the Gaon Rav Meir Shapiron , the Founder of the "Daf Yomi " . Indeed ,in his beis medrash ,Rav Hernoch singer , has given a strong daf for many years.Or maybe due to his successor , Rav HaGaon Rav Niznik, who gave for many years , in the library of the Young Israel ,perhaps the largest daf Yomi shiur in the world , Montreal has always been a bastion of 'limud hadaf."
Eruv down

Uptown Eruv down now for a number of weeks
The uptown eruv has been down for a number of weeks.Rumor has it that this is an issue with an individual not happy with our eruv. We are told the Rabbis are working on the situation and hope to have it resolved in the near future,
This is an opportunity to remember that an eruv is not automatic.It's a chance to teach the children the realities of hilchos Shabbas.Many communities in pre war Europe which had eruvin , would leave it down for a time. It seems so from the gemerra in eruvin too there is an 'inyan ' to leave a part of the city ('k'ir ketana') outside the eruv.
It is also worth remembering the mishna in Bama Madlikin to check one's clothing erev shabbas before shekia.
