  Dr. Jesse Hefter of Newton was a volunteer with the Greater Boston Eruv Corporation which oversaw construction of the 18-square-mile eruv that encompasses parts of Brookline, Brighton and Newton completed in 1992. It took eight years and approximately $30,000 to complete the project. An Orthodox Jew and a scientist by profession who works in research and development for Verizon, Hefter has been to Lynn and worked with Rabbi Kelman on a proposal for a North Shore eruv on a number of occasions.
  ...
  According to Hefter, the cost of building and maintaining the Boston Eruv was funded 100 percent by voluntary contributions. "We had a very large fundraising campaign and we received some start-up money from Combined Jewish Philanthropies; but the lion's share was raised by voluntary contributions." In addition to initial consulting and construction costs, the cost of an eruv also includes checking it before every Shabbat and High Holiday season, repair costs, taxes, insurance and liability.
  
  Although the Massachusetts communities with eruvs all have larger populations of observant Jews than Lynn, Hefter contends that the numbers make no difference.
