This week’s parsha includes one of the major sources for prohibiting carrying on Shabbos, which provides a good opportunity to study some of the complicated halachos of carrying on Shabbos and the halachos of Eruvin. We cannot do justice to this vast and complicated topic in one short article. However, I will attempt to provide an introduction to some of the issues involved.
The Lee Road branch of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library was renovated in 2005-2006, and the Noble branch in 2011. Now it’s time for the University Heights branch: the building, its programs, and its services.
The University Heights branch (UH) is the second most heavily used branch in the Heights Libraries system, after the main branch on Lee Road. Last year, the 60-year-old UH branch circulated 187,000 items and welcomed 184,500 visitors. As for programs and services, the UH branch is the home of the city of University Heights Senior Network programs, the Senior Spot and the Teen Spot. It hosts an international movie festival and babysitting clinics. Hundreds of children attend story times and programs each year, and University Heights staff visit the CH-UH Schools, Purvis Park, Whole Foods and John Carroll University throughout the year.
Due to the levayah of Rabbi Fabian zt”l we will be rescheduling the shiur for a later date. Please mention to anyone who you know was planning on attending.

Engagement Season is here. Here are 10 reasons to book Asher Barkin’s LYD Orchestra for your wedding:
Years ago when metal tanks were common, fuel was of lower quality, and other factors, it was not uncommon for the car fuel line to freeze up. Today this is not so common, but not impossible. However, freezing is prevented by making sure that the gas level is not below half a tank. When your gas tank has more air, the moisture in the air can freeze and leave ice flakes which then clogs the line. This usually happens when the car is sitting for a few hours in the cold, but the fuel line can also freeze while you are driving if the conditions are cold enough.
