Statement from Members of the Vaad Harabonim of Cleveland
Purim begins on Monday, March 9, 2020. The Vaad Harabonim of Cleveland is taking this opportunity to address a very serious issue.
Every segment of our community, regardless of Hashkafa or level of observance, has members who are affected by substance use and addiction. The consequences of this behavior can be devastating; affecting one’s personal health, financial security, family life and spiritual well being.
There are many substances with the potential for abuse, some that are legal (e.g. inhalants, alcohol and tobacco), some that are illegal (e.g. marijuana, cocaine and heroin) and some that require a doctor’s prescription (e.g. oxycodone, valium and xanax). It is important to note that no amount of these substances is completely safe, and all have the potential to cause addiction. Medications that are not prescribed by a doctor or that are not used exactly as instructed are particularly dangerous.
When it comes to illegal drugs or medications taken without a prescription the terms “casual” or “recreational” are misleading and unhelpful. Individuals who use illegal drugs or medications without prescriptions, even occasionally, are at significant risk of impairment, injury and death.
The causes of substance and abuse are complex. However, it is indisputable that children who form habits do not do so in a vacuum. What children witness from their parents is particularly important in forming their own patterns of behavior, for good and for bad. Unsafe or unhealthy behaviors on the part of parents, including abuse of legal substances like alcohol, have implications for children that can last many years into adulthood.
As Jews we bear responsibility for each other. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon all members of our community to be vigilant for problem signs of addiction that may include:
Physical – Change in sleep or eating habits; unusual smells on breath, body or clothes; hyperactivity or talkativeness; slowed or staggering walk; poor physical coordination; unexplained injuries or marks; nausea, vomiting or excessive sweating; tremors or shakes of hands, feet or head; or deterioration of hygiene, dress or physical health.
Behavioral – Change in overall attitude or personality; drop in grades at school or performance at work; missed family activities; lying or dishonesty; hypersensitivity or rapid changes in mood; difficulty in paying attention or forgetfulness; general lack of motivation, energy, self-esteem or “I don’t care” attitude; change in habits at home; loss of interest in usual activities; unexplained need for money; unusual emotional states such as paranoia, giddiness or hyperactivity; secretive behavior; or excessive need for privacy.
If you suspect that a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague may have a substance abuse problem, it is imperative to seek help from a qualified professional. This may include a physician, mental health professional or social worker. Teachers and Rabbonim are important sources of guidance for those affected and their families but they are not a substitute for professional medical treatment. This is not merely an act of helpfulness or Chesed — it is an act upon which someone’s life may well depend. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of prompt intervention in preventing tragedy.
We further encourage all of our community’s schools, Shuls and social service organizations to educate their students, members and supporters about this important message that affects all of us.
If someone is in immediate danger – including suspected overdose, runaway children or suicide threats – you should call 911 immediately. Nothing, not time of day, fear of embarassment or Shabbos/Yom Tov, should deter you from performing this life saving action. See, Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 328: 1-2; Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 329: 1; Mishna Berura 328:6 and Rambam, Hilchot Shabbat 2:3.

Members of the Cleveland Jewish community address coronavirus after Jewish Education Center staffer tests positive (cleveland19.com))
Excerpt: News has been rippling through the Jewish communities in greater Cleveland as people celebrate Purim, a festive holiday commemorating the salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire.
All three of Ohio’s coronavirus cases from Cuyahoga County, governor says (FOX8.com)
Excerpt:
Cuyahoga County Board of Health Commissioner Terry Allan said the three patients, who are ages 54 to 56, are isolated. Two of them were on a trip to Egypt and one was at a conference in Washington D.C. Six additional people who had close contact are also on home quarantine.
There are five people under investigation for the virus, the Ohio Department of Health said. Health Director Dr. Amy Acton said you will be notified if you’ve had contact with an infected person.

University Heights: COVID-19 UPDATE FOR 3/10/2020: Block parties, social distancing, ReadyNotify
This morning, City Hall has three updates for you regarding the coronavirus.
BLOCK PARTIES – Following recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control, and after consultation with the Chief of Fire and Chief of Police, for the safety and well-being of event organizers, participants, and the community, all University Heights block parties are cancelled or otherwise postponed until further notice. This includes the block party scheduled for today (March 10, 2020) on White Road.
SOCIAL DISTANCING – Residents are urged to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by washing their hands often, avoiding contact with people who are sick, and by refraining from touching their eyes, nose, and mouth.
You are also encouraged to practice “social distancing.” This means you should refrain from shaking hands. A wave or another non-contact greeting is acceptable. While it may feel odd at first, it will help contain the spread of COVID-19.
You are also encouraged to avoid crowded gatherings. If possible, replace face to face meetings with conference calls. And if you are ill, especially with a fever or a cough, it is essential that you stay home. Call your doctor for further instructions.
SIGN UP FOR READYNOTIFY – While City Hall will notify residents with updates via email and social media, you are advised to sign up for city and county text alerts via ReadyNotify. Please click here to enroll.
JEC staff member confirmed positive for COVID-19 (Cleveland Jewish News)
A Cuyahoga County man who tested positive for the coronavirus is employed by the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland.
“We can confirm that a Jewish Education Center staff person has tested positive for the coronavirus. This individual is now quarantined,” the Jewish Federation of Cleveland said in a statement to the Cleveland Jewish News March 9. The JEC is a partner agency of the Federation.
The individual attended the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference from March 1 through March 3 in Washington, D.C.
Beachwood Mayor Horwitz: Coronavirus Update: 03/09/2020
With today’s confirmation of three cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Cuyahoga County, I want to address the concerns and questions our residents and businesses have regarding this health issue and the operation of the City of Beachwood. It is important to stay informed, avoid panic, and take necessary steps to keep ourselves, our families, and our community healthy and safe.
The City of Beachwood is committed to making all decisions in the best interest of the health and safety of our residents, community, and employees. We are taking our lead from the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, as they work directly with the State of Ohio and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is an evolving situation that is changing on a daily basis. As a result, we are continuously monitoring the information they provide. We have also activated a Task Force to make sure that in the event of an emergency, our city services will continue with limited interruption.
Communication with our residents and businesses during this period is crucial. We will primarily use Twitter, Facebook, and our website —www.beachwoodohio.com— to update the community if there are changes in city services, cancellation of events, or the closing of city buildings.
The best steps to managing and containing an infectious-disease outbreak are the following as recommended by the CDC and also the Ohio Department of Health:
- Hand washing with soap and water is the best defense against this virus. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially when returning home from work or running errands. Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol.
- Practice “social distancing” by avoiding handshaking, hugging, or other close-contact greetings
- Regularly disinfect high-touch surfaces and items (door knobs, phones, counters, etc.).
- Stay healthy: get plenty of rest, eat right, and keep health conditions like asthma and diabetes under control.
- Stay home if you are sick. The main symptoms of this disease are high fever, cough and shortness of breath. If you have these symptoms, especially acute respiratory illness, contact your medical provider for further advice. If you need emergency medical assistance, call 911.
Be aware and vigilant regarding the source of COVID-19 information. Some email scammers are already sending messages about coronavirus in hopes of spreading incorrect information. We urge you to follow updates from the CDC and Ohio Department of Health and recommend the following sources:
