One Person Confirmed Dead in Beachwood Shooting

April 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

A late morning shooting occurred outside the Embassy Suites in Beachwood. One person has been confirmed dead. Beachwood Police called in the Ohio Bureau of Investigation to help process the scene. As of now, there are no suspects.

Fuchs Mizrachi School and a few other local schools were placed on soft lockdown, meaning the students were not allowed outside.

The Beachwood Police issued the following statement:

“At 11:43 this morning, Beachwood police received a 911 call for shots fired at the Embassy Suites Hotel,” the statement read. “This was a contained situation and is being processed by the Beachwood Police Department and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). We are aware that messages were sent to area school parents indicating, ‘active shooter on Chagrin Boulevard’ and schools engaged in a soft lockdown. This message was inaccurate. There was never an active shooter on Chagrin Boulevard and there is no current threat.”

This is an evolving story. Check back for more information.

This Year’s University Heights Parade Scheduled for July 4th

April 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

Summer is back, and so is our parade. For one year only, the annual University Heights parade will be held on the Fourth of July.

For decades, University Heights has held Northeast Ohio’s biggest and best Memorial Day parade every year. And be rest assured that the University Heights Memorial Day Parade will be back in 2022.

However, as of mid-April (the deadline for this magazine), it is uncertain if it would be safe to throw a full-fledged parade on Memorial Day. Chagrin Falls and other cities in Northeast Ohio have decided against holding a parade over Memorial Day weekend. We are going to err on the side of caution and hold a parade later in the summer.

By scheduling a parade on Sunday, July 4th, we will buy ourselves five weeks – five more weeks for people to get vaccinated and for the health risk to subside further.

So, Independence Day it is! Details, including time, route, and rules in regard to public safety, will be announced soon.

If your group or organization is interested in participating in the parade, contact Rachel Mullen at City Hall at rmullen@universityheights.com. You may also contact Mullen if you would like to volunteer with the parade committee.

Update on Shmuel Schottenstein

April 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

Jordan and I want to express our tremendous hakoras hatov to Cleveland’s unbelievable Jewish community for davening for our son, Chaim Shmuel Dovid hakohen ben Tikvah Leah, Shmuel Schottenstein, for weeks on end.  Hashem has listened to all of our tefilos and I wanted to update you on his condition. B”H he is out of the COVID ICU and in the regular ICU. He was on an ECMO machine for about 6 weeks, a machine that pumps his blood and breathes for him so his lungs and body could rest and heal. They took him off the ecmo last Motza’ai Shabbos.  He still has a trache and they’re slowly weaning him off it and all the sedation he has been on.  Yesterday and today were the first days that he has begun to respond by blinking, moving his mouth, moving his head, and squeezing my daughter in law’s hand.  He’s still in a lot of pain and will have to undergo extensive rehab but B”H we are finally seeing some improvement.

We ask that you still take out a few minutes of your time to daven for him as he still needs many refuos and yeshuos.  If you want to join the Tehillim WhatsApp you can join on https://chat.whatsapp.com/Lmlaca2NOB60OWFXqU2mbs.

IY”H with our constant tefilos Hashem should give him a refuah shlaima bimheirah and return him to his wife and children.

Menorah Park Announces Rabbi Akiva Feinstein as New Director of Spiritual Living

March 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

We are pleased to announce that Rabbi Akiva Feinstein has been named Menorah Park Director of Spiritual Living, following in the footsteps of our beloved Rabbi Howard Kutner, of blessed
memory. Rabbi Feinstein, since joining Montefiore in 2005, as Director of Spiritual Care and Hospice Chaplain, has already had an important role in our campus, working collaboratively with
Menorah Park’s excellent spiritual living staff for many years now.

In his new role he will ensure that we as an organization continue to be a home for every member of the Jewish community, making each and every person feel welcome and for Menorah Park to be a place where everyone can gather, pray, and learn together guided by our rich Jewish traditions. Rabbi Feinstein will maintain his established office location at Montefiore and in serving our
growing hospice program, but will expand his role to include leading and developing our already outstanding spiritual living activities across the expanded campus. This includes one of his most
important missions which is to serve as an ambassador to Cleveland’s synagogues, organizations, and other places of worship, helping to make a bridge between our campus and the robust
community around us.

Our expanded Spiritual Living Department enjoys an excellent staff of trained professional chaplains and mashgiachs (kosher supervising rabbis), including Menorah Park Associate Director of Spiritual Living, Rabbi Joseph Kirsch, Hospice Chaplains, Rabbi AJ Kushner, and Chaplain Ann Smith, as well as Rabbi Ezra Brody, Cantor Gary Paller, and Rabbi Yossi Nisenbaum. Rabbi Dov Fishbane is our full time Kosher Supervisor.

Watch an Ohio Legislative Update from Rabbi Yitz Frank. Are You Counted?

March 14, 2021 Leave a Comment

Update From Agudah. Rabbi Yitz Frank from Agudath Israel.

YOU can help us achieve the goals we have laid out in the video message above.

In numbers there is strength, and every person associated with the Agudah makes our voice and work for Klal Yisroel that much more effective.

For this reason I would like to ask you to have every one of your family members registered in Agudath Israel’s Nationwide Machatzis HaShekel Campaign to be counted, by name, as a constituent of the Agudah.

In a time when it’s harder than ever to make sure that the voice of the Orthodox community is heard, please help us maintain our strength in numbers by registering every family member to be counted as echod min haminuyim. Have them join the ranks, and bring up our numbers, so Agudath Israel can continue to fight for the rights of “Reb Yisroel and Klal Yisroel.”

Please visit www.theagudah.org to register your family members in this special campaign.

In the “MEMBER ID” area please put in the word OHIO so that we can have specific count to impact our Ohio advocacy efforts.

Please sign up to strengthen our voice!

Many thanks and all good wishes,

Rabbi Yitz Frank
Executive Director, Agudath Israel of Ohio
