Blue Mailboxes’ Keys Stolen; Don’t Use the Boxes Until Further Notice

January 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I received an email from a resident and a call by Cleveland Councilman Michael Polensek who had been contacted by a postal official, that the blue postal boxes around the cities in Northeast Ohio and in front of the Post Offices themselves, have been compromised.

Someone or group was able to obtain the master keys for the drop boxes including, per Councilman Polensek, boxes for individual apartment buildings, as well.

Obviously, postal officials are aggressively investigating this since this is a federal crime.

Boxes have been hit in Parma, Richmond Heights, Euclid, Lyndhurst and surrounding suburbs thus far. Therefore, I am being told that no one should drop any mail in the blue mailboxes at this point in time for fear of theft, until the perpetrators are apprehended or the master keys and locks are changed. All mail for delivery should be taken directly to your local Post Office and deposited inside the lobby.

The perpetrators are opening the mail to take checks, alter them and cash them. This can cause serious financial impact to individuals whose mail was stolen. .

Please let your friends and neighbors know so our residents or businesses aren’t victimized. Let’s hope the federal officials arrest the perpetrators.

Sincerely,

Cleveland Heights Council President Melody Joy Hart

Cleveland Heights Garbage and Parking

January 20, 2022 Leave a Comment

From Community Connection

Garbage pickup delay:
Due to the legal holiday on Monday, Cleveland Heights garbage pickup is delayed by one day. Due to the snow, the city is requesting that the garbage be placed as close as possible to the street to make it easier for the sanitation workers.

Parking around shuls:
The Cleveland Heights Police Department has received complaints regarding cars parked near Shuls that impede access/visibility, creating a safety hazard.. Please be careful not to park too close to the intersection and as close as possible to the curb. This is especially true on Staunton which also serves as a bus route. Aside from Chillul Hashem, cars not parked properly can lead to a ticketing blitz and other crackdowns which we all want to avoid.

Say “No!” to the Kotel Compromise! Webinar Tongiht

January 17, 2022 1 Comment

Am Echad, an affiliate of the Agudah, is mounting a campaign – 150,000 signatures strong – for Jews outside of Eretz Yisroel to tell the Israeli government “No!” to the plan to partition the Kosel. Partitioning the Kosel, also known as the “Kotel Compromise,” means that all visitors to the Kosel would be guided toward one of two plazas – the “traditional” Kosel Plaza, and a separate plaza for mixed prayer. In addition, control of the Kosel will be given to a Reform and Conservative committee. The government intends to implement this soon because of a Reform-led campaign that told Israeli politicians that this policy is necessary to “appease” Jews outside of Eretz Yisroel. So we ask you to join…

Please sign on, and have your family sign as well, at OneKosel.org. We are telling Prime Minister Bennett, “No, don’t undermine halachah and the religious standards that we’ve kept for centuries!” OneKotel.org. Please join now. You can also join via phone at 917-284-8144. This is really important, which is why…

…Am Echad has asked us to host a webinar tonight, Monday evening, to explain why this is important and to show people how to sign up for their own team so that they can spread the word further. (You can also do this yourself at OneKosel.org – click the button marked “Create My Team.”)

The webinar will be about 15 minutes long, and will be at 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 10:00 PM (all EST). Register now by clicking here.
