Question #1: Deadbeat dad
Mrs. Gerusha* calls me with the following question:
“I am a divorced baalas teshuvah with two young children, a son and a daughter. My son never had a pidyon haben, and my ex-husband is an agnostic who is not interested in participating. Am I required to perform the pidyon haben for my twelve-year-old son, and what is the procedure if I do?”

After working for many years to negotiate the sale of the former Millikin Elementary School property to local private K-8 school Mosdos Ohr Hatorah, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District, the City of Cleveland Heights and Mosdos jointly announced that Mosdos has withdrawn its purchase offer. “Mosdos found after investigation that it is not able to secure necessary financing due to renovation costs,” said Alan Rapoport, attorney for Mosdos.
“We spent many years working on this deal and are disappointed, but we certainly understand the situation. We wish Mosdos the very best,” said Nancy Peppler, CH-UH Board President.

In response to the horrific terror attacks in France, including the murder of four Jews at a kosher supermarket, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland is opening a French Terror and Security Fund to address the challenges and threats facing the French Jewish community.
Working with national partner, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) and international partners Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the Cleveland Federation has been tracking and responding to events in Paris as they occur. In coordination with the French government and the Service de Protection de la Communauté Juive in France, the organizations are working to ensure that local Jewish institutions, schools, and synagogues as well as French Jewish citizens are protected from further attacks.
