Rabbi Adam Mintz, a historian of eruvim in the United States, displayed maps of the boundaries of eruvim in New York City.

Last Saturday morning, as a blizzard sputtered out its last squalls over Passaic, N.J., Chaya Leah Smolen sent her husband and several children off to synagogue. She issued the children a message that might seem to contradict the essence of winter motherhood: do not carry any tissues.

Each semester, some 150 undergraduates from New York University study in the Czech Republic capital of Prague.

In the center of the Czech Republic capital of Prague sits the appropriately-named Male Namesti, literally the “Small Square,” where two buildings sport the trademark purple flag of New York University. Inside, some 150 undergraduates from the school’s main campus in Greenwich Village spend their semester abroad learning about Prague and, for the students of professor Kateřina Čapková’s Modern Jewish History class, the rebirth of the storied city’s historic Jewish community.
