About Edison
The Orthodox community in Edison is a direct extension of Highland Park — the two towns share an eruv and function as one kehilla, with Edison offering more single-family houses and yard space as families outgrow Highland Park’s row homes. Congregation Ohr Torah on Edgemount Road anchors the Edison side, joined by Ateres Shlomo and Congregation Ahavas Yisrael on Route 27.
The Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva (RPRY), a coed Modern Orthodox day school, sits on the Edison side and serves the whole Raritan Valley community. Day-to-day kosher shopping and the mikvah are a short drive (or walk, within the eruv) into Highland Park, so Edison families rely on the shared infrastructure of the combined community rather than a separate commercial strip of their own.
Note: The Highland Park and Edison Eruv (hperuv.org) covers Highland Park and the adjacent Orthodox section of Edison, and connects to the New Brunswick eruv so you can carry between them. A recorded hotline at 732-487-ERUV (3788) gives the latest status, with weekly email alerts (a blank email to hperuv+subscribe@groups.io) and posts at @hperuv. The Edison station parking lot and the Meadows Wildlife Area are outside it; the full street-by-street boundary is on hperuv.org. Source: hperuv.org, checked 22 September 2026. Confirm before carrying, and follow your own rav.
