Food for thought – More Jews struggle with making ends meet
(Cleveland Jewish News) (Ed: Review of resources available for those in need including Gesher and the Kosher Food Bank.)
During the holidays many families gather around the dinner table to share a large meal with relatives and friends. But for some Jewish families, putting food on the table can be a daily struggle.
According to the 2011 Greater Cleveland Jewish Population Study published by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, 19 percent of Jewish households fall at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, which was $29,000 for a two-person household in 2011.

The Only Out-Of-The-Box Kosher Shaver- Just Released and Only $17!
(Updated October, 2017) Last year we did a post on a new shaver by Norelco that is the first model in a long while that does NOT have the Lift & Cut technology. Why does this matter? Based upon information from KosherShaver.org (brought below) and the psak of HaRav Dovid Feinstein and other poskim, this shaver is indeed a kosher shaver out-of-the-box. It is available in 2 versions as below. Also please note that KosherShaver.org offers a free service to “kasher” other models of Norelco shavers that do have the Lift & Cut that needs to be removed.
Philips Norelco 6945XL Electric Razor – basic shaver, kosher as-is, corded, does not have beard trimmer (~$25) (Unavailable as of 2017)
Philips Norelco 6948XL/41 Rechargeable Cordless Razor – kosher as-is, without Lift & Cut technology, rechargeable and has beard trimmer, a great deal (~$34)
Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 1100, S1150/81 – basically same as above but is corded. Costs less (~$24). From my experience, a corded unit, while a little inconvenient is better as inevitably the batteries on these units stop holding a charge after a few years of use and with a cord you always have 100% power.
Friendship Circle Community Chanukah Event
Open to the entire community:
Giving Gifts on Chanukah
(Ed: This is brought as an interesting idea and would be a good starting point for discussion and consultation with your LOR. Source: Hakhel reader)
Other Poskim discuss this and conclude that it is not a problem of chukas akum, as in all likelihood the akum’s minhag of giving gifts on their holidays was taken from us and not vice versa. (See Emes L’Yaakov from Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, Z’tl, Siman 670 in the footnote who says this.) The Ponovezer Rav, Rav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, Z’tl, said that after the Greeks forbade the Jewish children from learning Torah, their parents had to ‘bribe’ them with gifts to get them to learn once again.

Hannukah Disaster Averted – Message to the Whole Community About Safety
This evening an unattended menorah (no one was home) caught on fire (the base) in a home in our community. However, B”H due to an amazing circumstance in which a passerby in a car noticed the flaming menorah through the window, stopped his car, and ran in to the home to put out the flame before it spread to the rest of the home, a more serious danger was averted. There were a number of key lessons to be learned here:
1) Don’t leave a menorah unattended. 2) Be particularly careful about menorahs made of wood and glue and paint (a popular young kid project) because these are highly flammable and the nuts used to hold the candles clog easily and do not work so well to form a stable base. 3) Hashem is always watching over us – something else to say thank you for.
Look for a detailed list of Chanukah Safety tips tomorrow.

Amazon Deal on Waring XL Stainless Warming Tray
Amazon has a great deal on the Waring WT90B 400-Watt Stainless-Steel Warming Tray. It usually goes for $60 or more but is now priced at $46! It gets excellent reviews and might be really good for Shabbos as it is 16.5″ long as opposed to the more typical 12″ size. It is adjustable so you may have to ask your Rav about covering the knob but being adjustable it might be more useful than the more heimish made in Israel platas that always seem too hot and scorch the food. Amazon deals change fast so price is not guaranteed.
