Repost from previous years:

Just recently a young man was hit by a car crossing a street at night in Beachwood. Despite the fact that he crossed in a crosswalk, it was just too hard to see someone dressed in black at night. At the encouragement of his family, our community is being asked to be more vigilant about wearing reflectors. Sponsored belts can be purchased for $3 at the local seforim stores. Marc’s and discount stores frequently sell very inexpensive reflective vests. Flashing lights and flashlights are only a few dollars. Just recently Lakewood launched a “Shabbos of Reflection” after 101 pedestrians were struck, 5 fatally in 2012. Maybe it is time for a little more “reflection” in Cleveland too? Well, Chaverim has plans underway for a whole campaign soon! Click here to view a pamphlet which outlines the halachos of wearing a reflector in a place where there is no eruv (say you are traveling outside of the Cleveland eruv on Shabbos or do not carry).

From a public email announcement from current Mayor Susan Infeld:

I am sorry to share the news of the recent passing of former Mayor Beryl Rothschild. Mayor Rothschild was one of the first women mayors elected in the State of Ohio and was also one of the longest-serving mayors in the State. She served on numerous boards and commissions regionally and state-wide and was very well-respected among her peers. Her civic legacy was far-reaching and prolific. Her interest and care for University Heights was evident in her work as a 42-year elected official (first as a Councilwoman for 10 years and then as the Mayor for 32 years). We have all benefited from her wisdom and years of service.

Mayor Rothschild had not been in good health of late and was recently in hospice. She passed away last Friday and her funeral service will be tomorrow, November 29th at 10 a.m. at the Berkowitz-Kumin funeral home on Taylor Road in Cleveland Heights. The funeral home will live stream the funeral service at http://bitly.com/largechapel for those who may want to watch from home. Following the funeral the mourners will process through University Heights as they travel to the cemetery.The procession will follow this route from the funeral home to the cemetery: turning left onto Taylor Road; turning left onto Washington Blvd and passing Mayor Rothschild’s former home, City Hall, and John Carroll University; turning left onto Belvoir Blvd; turning left onto Cedar Road and passing Purvis Park; turning right onto Warrensville Center Road; turning left onto Mayfield Road where the procession will end at the Mayfield Cemetery.

Condolences can be sent to Mayor Rothschild’s family at the following address: Brian and Margaret Slesnik, 4463 High Ridge Trail, Akron, OH 44333. Additional information is available at www.cleveland.com/obits.

Sincerely,
Susan Infeld
Mayor

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland joins Jewish Federations across North America to raise funds to help address the impact of over 200 fires raging across Israel, which have already displaced nearly 100,000 people. In many places, essential services such as electricity and train lines have been interrupted. Many major roads have been closed intermittently.

The impact on Israelis will be long-lasting.

Once the flames are extinguished, people will have to return to their damaged homes, schools and neighborhoods. Many community institutions that provide vital programs and services—including those of our partners—have been hit hard. They will be struggling to rebuild just when they are needed most.

And in towns and cities across the country, people will need to join together and help one another overcome the traumatic impact of these unsettling times.

The Government of Israel is supporting those impacted by the fires primarily through local municipalities. Jewish Federations are working with our local partners and the National Emergency Authority to assess urgent and emerging needs.

 One hundred percent of your donation will go to the Israel Fire Emergency Fund. To make a donation, visit http://jfeds.org/IsraelFireFund.
