Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An eruv is a rabbinic boundary that enables Jews to carry objects in public areas on Shabbat by symbolically converting the public domain into a private one. It is usually created by a series of wires or poles erected around a particular community and forms a closed area known as a "chatzer," enabling residents to carry objects from one building to another within that area on the Sabbath. The other options (shema, torah, and kaddish) are significant Jewish prayers or doctrinal concepts but do not refer specifically to the boundary created by an eruv.
