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

8 Comments

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.

DafYomi4Kids(Ed: I saw this recently and thought it was a cute and effective concept, but have not tried it since my oldest is not ready for Daf Yomi :>. One of the most beautiful things about Torah is its ability to connect different generations and this certainly tries to do this.)

Daf Yomi 4 Kids is a printable monthly e-publication (in PDF format) for children ages 6 to 14 that follows the Daf Yomi cycle established by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in 1923. Each double sided page of Daf Yomi 4 Kids corresponds to the daf (Talmud folio) being studied in Daf Yomi. Click here for a sample of the first issue.

Daf Yomi 4 Kids has won the esteem of top rabbis and Jewish educational experts.

The colorful, easy-to-understand content of Daf Yomi 4 Kids ensures it will be a hit with children and educators alike. Children will be so captivated they will not even realize they are learning!

URGENT: Many families without heat and power for Shabbos

Leave a Comment

Due to the recent storms many families are without power and are unlikely to have the power returned any time soon.

An effort is being organized to solicit families able to host as well as families requiring hosting. The need is great and many local community organizations are being stretched to their limits to help. In particular, Cleveland Heights residents seem to be hit particularly hard.

Please contact Mrs. Drazin if you can offer a place or if you need one, or if you can cook for Shabbos.

Housing and food situations are available so do not be shy to ask!

Try these numbers: 216-321-9393, 216-321-9614, or 216-409-6804. Whatever you can do will make a big difference!
