A "Snowpacolypse" in NYC has taken down the strings that constitute the local eruv - the boundary hung by orthodox Jews to indicate the boundaries in which one can carry household goods, kleenex, babies, water bottles, pencils, etc. The eruv is an extension of the home, essentially saying that "this neighborhood is my home." However, it has to be marked by this special string upheld by telegraph poles.
Not only are orthodox Jews incorrect in asserting that God doesn't want people to carry their babies on Sabbath, they have added onto the law (like Eve) in such a way that they can't even have a map to indicate where the eruv is. It HAS to be the string. If the string falls down, the eruv falls as well.
What a sad state. To take the Living Word of God and reduce it to a series of laws and strings. Tragic, tragic. Oh, that they would be liberated by the blood of Christ!
