Friedlander Family Fund
Those wishing to make a contribution to assist the family of Yeruchem (Stuart) Friedlander, a”h may send checks payable to the Green Road Synagogue, 2437 South Green Road, Beachwood, OH 44122, attention: Friedlander Chesed or funds can be given directly to Rabbi Binyamin Blau. Friday shiva hours for Friedlander are only 9 AM – 12 PM.
(Ed: Pardon me for making my own personal remarks here (and these are directed towards myself), but it struck me that from the words of Yeruchem’s, a”h children that the most important gift that he gave his children was his love, time, affection, and heart. He was such a good father.
In this day and age, life is so busy, and we do so much for our children as far as clothing, feeding, educating, and more, yet we must not forget how much they just need our time, attention, and love. Perhaps we can all do more in this area, as a gift to our children and for the aliyas neshama of Yeruchem, a”h. )

Beachwood – University Heights Community Kollel Building
We are all aware that the Beachwood – University Heights Community Kollel has received permission from the University Heights City Council to build a Torah home. Yad Hashem was clearly evident as four major variances were overcome to reach this milestone. With demolition of the existing structures scheduled for mid – July, the date for construction is getting closer.
The Kollel has been a Torah learning center for hundreds of families for over eighteen years, and is literally “bursting at the seams.” The building campaign has begun in a most earnest way, with a remarkable participation on the part of many outstanding individuals who reside in our community.
