What it covers
The eruv serves Oak Park and Southfield — about 15 miles, in its own description, used by around 1,000 families. Young Israel of Oak Park describes it as covering a large section of the Jewish community around Oak Park.
The eruv is being upgraded and expanded into Berkley to include Corewell Health (Beaumont) Hospital. Until the eruv announces that work as complete, don't assume the hospital is inside it.
