#Skokie and West Rogers Park are within the same techum according to many rabbonim for two reasons: 1) Perhaps a highway doesn't divide a city. 2) The two halves of the city have overlapping squares which according to Chazon Ish's suggestion joins them together.<ref>Mdarkei Hatechum (Rabbi Mordechai Melanchik)</ref> | #Skokie and West Rogers Park are within the same techum according to many rabbonim for two reasons: 1) Perhaps a highway doesn't divide a city. 2) The two halves of the city have overlapping squares which according to Chazon Ish's suggestion joins them together.<ref>Mdarkei Hatechum (Rabbi Mordechai Melanchik)</ref> | ||

#Machaneh Yisrael pp. 73-91 discusses the techum of Yerushalayim at great length. In the north, he suggests that Ramat Shlomo is the northmost border and Ramot is excluded. To the west there's roughly a border from Gavat Shaul to Har Nof to Hadasah Ein Karem. To the south there is a border from Ganim to Gila. Generally, there is no very large squaring off of the city in his opinion because there are several sections which are in the shape of a bow or an L that are filled in. Once that section is already filled in, another larger square is not drawn around it. | #Machaneh Yisrael<Ref>pp. 73-91</ref> discusses the techum of Yerushalayim at great length.

#Another option he raises is to draw the squaring off of the city based on the Rabbanut Eruv map. He is hesitant to do so because perhaps Ramot cannot be joined to the rest of the city. | #Another option he raises is to draw the squaring off of the city based on the Rabbanut Eruv map.

*Do not rely on this map at all for practice as it is drawn imprecisely just to give a very rough sense of the main shape of the city of Yerushalayim. | *Do not rely on this map at all for practice as it is drawn imprecisely just to give a very rough sense of the main shape of the city of Yerushalayim. | ||
