on I am responsible for establishing an eruv for the neighborhood, can I trust someone who is not Jewish to attach the wire on both sides of the street? If I only had a non-Jew to do the wire tying and I didn’t check the wires after telling him to do it, is the eruv kosher? Thank you.
: Peace and Blessings You are entitled to appoint a non-Jew to repair the eruv wires according to clear instructions that you tell him, and of course at first it is necessary to check after him to see if he understood the craft and did everything fairly. After you get the impression that the non-Jew has understood the work assigned to him and knows how to do it properly. If you asked him to repair the eruv wires, and he said that he had fixed them, you are entitled to trust him. Because it is something that can be easily discovered, it is easy to see if he has indeed done his job. In particular, he also receives a salary for it and does not want to lose his job. But if he did not tell you that he did what you asked him to do, you cannot trust that he must have done his mission, but you have to hear from him that the work was done. Wishing you success and siyatah Dishmiya in the holy work Sources and reasoning
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
