Regarding Chicken Kaparos this Year

Leave a Comment

Due  to the pandemic, Kapporos will be very limited this year. We will be offering chickens to groups only. Any Shul interested in buying chickens, there will be a few chickens available for each Shul. The chickens will be available next Wednesday, Sept. 23, 5th of Tishrei  in the afternoon. There will be limited access to the shechita on Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning- Erev Yom Kippur. To arrange to pick up chickens for your Shul, please contact me at clevelandkapporos@gmail.com, or 216-577-3167.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this year.

Kesiva vachasima tova!

Chesed Shel Emes Mishnayos Opportunity

Leave a Comment

R’ Shulem Moskovits z”l  שלום ב”ר משה , was a Holocaust survivor who remained steadfast in his Yiddishkeit and Emunah. He was a beloved member of Khal Yereim, who always had a smile and kind words for all, and was the generous candy man in shul for many years. His positivity, energy and resources are part of the roots of the flourishing Cleveland community we enjoy today. He was niftar this week and sadly did not leave any children who can learn for his Neshama. Please consider undertaking learning Mishnayos in his memory using the following link:  lzechernishmas.com/signup.php?id=7890  This will be an everlasting Zchus and a true Chesed Shel Emes.
