Susan’s Suggestions for the Elections – Tuesday November 5, 2013 (Updated)

Leave a Comment

ballotbo(Click here to download as an easy-to-print PDF) (Ed: Voting suggestions and voting guides are welcomed from other readers too!)

Includes updated information with regard to Issue 80 based on reader feedback and further research.

As always, I offer these suggestions because of the importance of casting an informed vote. For our community to count, our votes must be countable, and we have a responsibility to our greater community and a mitzvah to show up and vote.  Local elections in many ways effect our daily living in an up close and personal way and are therefore just as important if not more so than national ones.  However, unlike national elections, absentee ballot request forms will not automatically be mailed to your home.  Those requests can be made through Board of Elections, or else plan to show up at your precinct on Election Day.

By popular demand, in order to make viewing easier, this guide consists of two sections: The Quick Voting version followed by the Expanded Explanations.

Time Running Out to Submit Absentee Ballot Request

Leave a Comment

American FlagPeople should take local elections as seriously, or even more seriously than national or even statewide elections. Local elections show the power of our community (or lack thereof) as the outcomes are often decided by fewer votes and turnout is much lower. In particular the election this November 5th will greatly affect how our cities are run (via selection of mayors, council, School Board) as well as our pocketbooks (annual taxes could increase by over $400 for the average homeowner in CH-UH). So vote!!

If you know that you are not going to be able to make it to the polls next Tuesday, consider sending in ASAP an application for an absentee ballot. At this point there are no guarantees that you will receive the ballot, but it is worth a try. The application needs to be received by this weekend, and you need to receive the ballot by mail in-time,  and then your completed absentee ballot needs to be postmarked the day before the election. The Board of Elections does try hard in this last week to have a quick turn-around. If in the end it does not work out, you can still vote as normal at the polls.

Is Seeing Red Kosher?

Leave a Comment

redcolorIs Seeing Red Kosher?

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff – RabbiKaganoff.com

Eisav is often associated with the color red, which provides an opportunity for the following halacha question: Is a red food color that is manufactured from animal material kosher? Indeed, the master artisans building the Mishkan used a dye, tola’as shani, which is often assumed to be the “blood” of an insect, in the manufacture of the Kohen Gadol’s vestments. Was this color kosher? This color was also used to dye the curtains and coverings of the Mishkan. In addition, processing the ashes of the parah adumah (Bamidbar 19:6), purifying a metzora and decontaminating a house that became tamei all use tola’as shani (Vayikra 14:4, 49). As we will discover, correctly identifying the tola’as shani not only affects these halachos and those of the Beis Hamikdash, but also concerns a wide assortment of foods and beverages that we eat and drink.

Got an extra $300 per year? VOTE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, NO ON ISSUE 81

2 Comments

(Reader submitted)

If you value your hard earned money, vote NO on Issue 81. The facts are these: The CH-UH School district is in the top 5 in expenditures per student in the state, averaging $18,461 per student (2010-2011 school year). According to Ohio State Report Cards our school district failed to meet basic standards on State Proficiency Tests. Let me repeat that, our school district received an F on Indicators Met on State Tests. Do you want to continue throwing your hard earned money at failing schools? The school board has failed to justify the money it already taxes us, and now has the audacity to ask for more. This new tax will enrich the teachers’ unions and building contractors, while doing nothing to improve academic standards. There is no justification for it. Vote for accountability, vote NO on issue 81. Yard signs are available, email sholomy@gmail.com.

Chef Dave’s Catering Restaurant Nights

Leave a Comment

ChefDavesBanner522x80

Chef Dave’s Catering is having our next set of Restaurant Nights from Monday, 11/4 through Thursday 11/7 from 5:00 to 7:30. We are often completely booked, so don’t wait to reserve your spot. If you have any special menu requests such as gluten free, vegetarian, or any other special diets, please let us know when you make your reservation so we can accommodate you.
We know that many of you have expressed an interest in some menu changes and we’ve heard you. The challenge we face is that our kitchen was designed for large events, not restaurant style cooking. We are limited in the selection of menu items that we can serve in a timely manner – we really don’t want you to have to wait for your food. We are working on some new items and hope to be able to offer them in early 2014.
Also don’t forget about our upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner and Challah Specials.

Update on Healthy Relationship FREE Seminar With Rabbi Yosef Heinemann

Leave a Comment

I would like to thank the community for the very positive feedback that I received. Based on the feedback, it has been suggested that I alone give the lecture and couples can come learn and grow at no cost. In addition, an anonymous donor, who recognizes the importance of this work, has pledged to pay the first 15 couples who participate $20 for carfare babysitting or whatever.

You know, I got a new car a little while ago and after some time the brakes weren’t working so well. I went to the mechanic and he told me “Yeh, brakes wear out and you need new ones” I was beside myself! This is what happens to a good car? He said “Yeh, it’s just regular maintenance.
