[lbo-talk] umbrellas and hasidism

[Bryan Atinsky]

Well, if I remember right, if they live in a walled city or around a 
courtyard, they could carry things on Shabbat, and in modern times, 
there is often a eruv created (symbolic 'walled' boundary of wires with 
poles, around a neighborhood).

Maybe they don't have an eruv there.
