A hidden 60-square-mile wire around Dallas acts as a religious boundary, allowing Jews to carry items on Shabbat.

A hidden 60 square mile wire around Dallas, Texas, installed in 2001, serves as an "eruv," a Jewish religious boundary.

Most people are unaware of this wire, which helps adherents follow religious rules while moving in public areas.
