Israel · community hub: Herzliya Pituach marina / Raanana centre · airport TLV, about 30 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.
Raanana: Arutz Sheva (30 Nov 2020) says the Raanana Religious Council maintains the city eruv under Rabbi Shlomo Ishon and checks it every few months; a weekly status page is not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked Google, Chabad directory, Hebrew and local searches). Herzliya, Pituach, the marina and the beach: an eruv page is not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked Google, Chabad directory, Hebrew and local searches) (nothing from the Herzliya rabbinate or any community site), so ask Beit Chabad Herzliya Pituach (Maskit 22, +972 52-252-3430), Chabad Raanana (+972 50-240-7706) or your hotel before carrying.
