Suspect in vandalism to Jewish boundary heads to court

None

A Massachusetts man charged with vandalizing the ritual boundary relied on by some Orthodox Jews known as an eruv is heading to court Monday.

 

Police say 28-year-old Yerachmiel Taube, of Sharon, is scheduled to be arraigned on charges including malicious destruction of property and destruction to a religious organization.

 

Taube was arrested Saturday in connection with the vandalism in Sharon that has been going on for several weeks.

 

The eruv is a series of poles and string that mark the boundaries of the Orthodox Jewish community's "household" in which they can carry certain items on the Shabbat.
