It is no more of an inconvenience for non-believers or adherents of other faiths than when the state permits the erection of an eruv. The state is not becoming grossly entangled in religious affairs as per the Lemon Test, and there is no recognition or favoritism of one religion over another; any civil servant from any religious background is permitted to wear their religious dress.

Mike Witcombe draws upon the concept of the eruv to explore Michael Chabon's and Howard Jacobson's novels, looking at the ways in which an "eruvic" analysis can illuminate broader Jewish understandings of "inside" and "outside" and of "at home" and "not at home." Tommy Givens seeks to explore the ways in which "the structured ideological influence of modern nationalism" has affected Jewish understandings of the Land of Israel and of the idea of homeland, in ways that are frequently underestimated.
