[edit] Summary

This set of posters are partly artifacts of the controversy that raged in the New York Jewish community in the 1950s and early 1960s, over a proposal to construct an eruv in Manhattan, and partly newly issued documents reaffirming the older prohibition.

In this set is a proclamation dated 18 June 1962 by the Union of Orthodox Rabbis, signed by five of the most prominent rabbis of the time, banning the proposed construction of an eruv in Manhattan. It was published as a handbill or poster and circulated in the Jewish community. It had been republished (perhaps, without permission of the original authors) and circulated many times since then, whenever similar proposals are raised in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or any similar city. However, this new set was recirculated with permission from the children of one of the original rabbis who signed it - Rabbi Moshe Feinstein.

This is believed to have been a reply to the handbill promulgated on 15 March 1960, which was signed by 14 prominent New York rabbis, in which they had declared their support for the project. It can be seen at [[:Image:Rabbanim Supporting the Manhattan copy.jpg]].

[edit] Licensing

This image is either

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

OR alternatively a Non-free poster

The image is of a handbill promulgated by a committee of rabbis to elicit public support for a position they had taken. By its nature it was intended to be copied and republished far and wide. In addition, it was published in the USA before 1989 and does not bear a copyright notice, therefore falling into the public domain. It cannot have been registered after that date, because many of the signatories were no longer alive.

In the alternative, the use of the image in the Eruv article or in any other article discussing this controversy, is permitted as fair use, since it is an irreplaceable image of a crucial document in that controversy.== Summary ==
