(Hakhel) As the days pass by with hundreds of terrorists arrested–but with no apparent clue of the whereabouts of the bachurim, despite thousands upon thousands of the most highly trained soldiers being involved in the search, we all once again realize and internalize the absolute truth that “Ahl Mi Lanu Lehishaein Ahl Avinu Shebashomayim” (Sotah 49A)–we have no one to look to except to our Father in Heaven.” Thankfully, Hashem is not simply our King, our Creator, our Life-Giver–but He is also Avinu–our Father in Heaven–as the Pasuk explicitly teaches: “Banim Atem Lashem Elokeichem”–we are Hashem’s children, and He treats us as such.

One of the most well-known ma’asim involving HaRav Chaim Shmuelevitz, Z’tl, was when the Mirrer Yeshiva was about to recite Tehillim for the Jews kidnapped in Entebbe.  Before the Yeshiva began, HaRav Shmuelevitz urged everyone gathered to view the hostages as his own close family members–and to recite Tehillim with this view.

(Letter from University Heights Mayor Susan Infield)

Hello,

As you are likely aware, Wiley Middle School closed permanently earlier this month and the students have been reassigned to Monticello or Roxboro Middle Schools.

The School District has submitted plans to the City for conversion of the Wiley site to a temporary location for Cleveland Heights High School while the high school is being renovated and rebuilt in Cleveland Heights.

The School District proposes to construct the necessary buildings, etc. at the Wiley site during the upcoming (fall 2014) school year. Following that, for the school years beginning fall 2015 and fall 2016, the high school will relocate to the Wiley site. The District plans to return the students to the new Cleveland Heights High School in fall 2017.
