“…Allowing a minority identity into the public space carried the risk of turning the cultural majority of St Ives into the new ‘dispossessed’ and ‘oppressed’ (Cooper, 1996, p. 535). At the same time, by presenting the eruv as a ghetto, concentrations of some groups are rendered problematic, while the concentration of other groups is normalised and legitimised (Connell and Iveson, 2014, p. 436).…”

This paper considers a planning dispute that surrounded the construction of a Jewish religious installation (called an eruv) in the public urban space of an Australian suburb. The aim of this case-study is to examine the role of law in regulating Jewish difference – a topic that has to date received little attention in the socio-legal literature concerned with the governance of religious diversity. In analysing residents’ objections to the eruv, the paper explores long-standing anxieties about Jewish particularity in Australia and beyond as they surfaced in opposition to the eruv. It shows how the law continues to exclude certain forms of Jewish difference that are perceived as transgressing dominant religious and racial norms. Moreover, the paper highlights the particular ways in which planning law assigned value to these anxieties and legitimised the marginalisation of Orthodox Jews, emphasising the significance of local law as a site for exclusion and inequality.
