United States · community hub: Deal / Long Branch oceanfront · airport EWR, about 75 min by car. Everything below was checked against the sources on each listing in November 2026; confirm times with the shul before you rely on them.
Jersey Shore Eruv covers Deal and nearby towns (Wikipedia: about 18 miles, built late 1990s). JSOR's Visiting the Shore page lists a Deal Sephardic Community Eruv with a weekly status hotline, (732) 660-1001, and says all mikvaot are inside it; it does not say whether this is the same eruv as the Long Branch one. A 2023 Jewish Link letter from Brothers of Israel members says the shul's eruv includes Pier Village, Wave Resort and the boardwalk; Jewish Press (2023) puts Sheraton Eatontown inside. Brothers of Israel has an eruv map page (brothersisrael.org/eruv.html, no status posted); office 732-222-6666. No live up/down web page found; Lakewood's eruv is separate and unclear (see tips).
