New Vaad Hatzedakos Cleveland

July 22, 2017 Leave a Comment

Printable Version of the Letter Below

Dear community members of Cleveland,

Cleveland has a well-deserved reputation as a community dedicated to chesed and tzedaka. Many of our fellow Jews and institutions come to our community for help with various financial needs. We should be proud to be able to assist in this manner.

Under the guidance of the Vaad HaRabbanim, the Agudath Israel of Cleveland, recently established a Vaad Hatzedakos to assist the community and the fundraisers. The goal of the Vaad Hatzedakos is to give community members a high degree of confidence and comfort regarding the fundraisers who come to their doors and in turn provide greater support to those in need.

The Vaad Hatzedakos will follow the model used in multiple cities across North America. This model leverages an existing database developed in Lakewood, New Jersey. The fundraisers are researched via database administrator’s network of 300+ contacts across Israel. The information collected is then uploaded to the database.

Every fundraiser will be encouraged to apply to the Vaad Hatzedakos for a certificate. The director of the Vaad Hatzedakos, Rabbi Zev Meisels, will conduct the necessary background research, and provide a laminated, signed and sealed certificate with a photo ID if approved.

For this to succeed, we hope that the community will encourage fundraisers to present their certificate and then open your heart by giving generously.

The first certificates have already been distributed. Please be patient with fundraisers as not all fundraisers are aware of the new process in Cleveland.

Rabbi Meisels can be reached by email, phone, or fax.
• Email: letters@agudathisrael-oh.org
• Phone: 216-905-3835
• Fax: 216-455-1090

Thank you for your continued support.

July 19, 2017 Leave a Comment

by Susan Efroymson

All politics are local is as true now as ever. Important elections coming up this November and you must be registered to vote.  Remember if you don’t vote, you can’t be counted, and if you don’t count, we all count for less. Stand up for your community and do your civic duty also considered a Mitzva to do so. To vote in the next election, you must be registered 30 days before.  There are local and state issues that effect us coming up on this November’s ballot.

Do You Need to Register?

Have you recently moved?

Has someone in your home recently turned 18 or will be 18 by November?

If you’ve never registered at your new address or will  be newly eligible to vote or have never voted before, it’s easy to register by filling out the form at Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website (or Lake County’s) or at any DMV or Library. Please do so today because if you don’t vote, you don’t count.

Yeshiva High School of Cleveland – Notice of Intent to Operate 6/21/17

June 25, 2017 Leave a Comment

At the Yeshiva High School of Cleveland, we are dedicated to serving the “whole student” by offering student-centered, rigorous academic and religious studies. Our own Rabbi Kutoff explains, “That’s why we are committed to success not only in middos tovos and Torah learning, but also in General Studies. For these reasons and more, we at the Yeshiva High School of Cleveland are very excited to announce the addition of Jason Kustron, M. Ed as Principal of General Studies. Mr. Kustron comes to the Yeshiva with a unique and exceptional level of experience in teaching and administration at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. With his vast array of knowledge and experience, Mr. Kustron will implement a rigorous blended-learning curriculum in order to push our students to the forefront of twenty-first century educational opportunities. Kustron, 34 years old, is a Cleveland native and held teaching positions in Mentor Public Schools, Lakeland Community College, and Cleveland State University, before moving up to Bryant Stratton College where he was most recently an administrator as the Dean of Students. According to Principal Kustron (who often goes by “Mr. K”, to the students), “we have a unique opportunity to create an exceptional, personalized, and advanced educational community here at YHS- the future is now for our students.”

The Yeshiva High School of Cleveland intends to open the 2017-18 school year as an ODE Chartered Non-Public school with a fully aligned general studies curriculum; which will put the students in position to advance their educations at the post-secondary level. The blended-learning curriculum will allow students to take advanced placement courses that are accepted as college credits, regular high school credits, and credit recovery courses. Our mission is to personalize the education to meet the needs and ambitions of our students. In fact, Principal Kustron explains, “We can offer students course content in their specific fields of interest; if a student wants to learn to code computers, we can help that student with a program. If he wants to learn a foreign language, we can provide many options.”

With these exciting developments for the coming school year, Yeshiva High School of Cleveland will provide an exceptional educational experience that benefits students in both the Torah and
professional worlds.
