Honda has issued a voluntary recall for 2009-2013 model-year Pilots and 2011-2013 model-year Odysseys, on account of a possible driver-side airbag defect.
More than 748,000 vehicles are subject to the possibility of an improperly installed airbag, that could be missing a few crucial rivets that secure the airbag’s plastic cover. As a result, airbags might deploy improperly and do more harm than good should an accident occur.

(Ed: The following is a letter written by Channah Appel to the Cleveland Jewish News in response to their acceptance of a paid ad for a “Messianic J_” movie appearing on p. 10 in their January 18th, 2013 issue. The identity of the publisher was not unknown and even the ad copy uses the terminology “Messianic Jew.” Visiting the website referenced in the ad makes the purpose of this event even clearer – to proselytize Jews. Please read this letter which has been submitted already and write your own to the CJN to protest their decision. Contact Managing Editor Bob Jacob: editorial@cjn.org or 216-342-5207. A scan of this ad appears at the end of this letter)
“I understand that newspapers in general are going through a rough time. Internet is the more popular mode for reading and keeping up with the news. This does not mean that any person with money should be allowed to advertise in the paper. What was the advertising staff thinking when they took the ad for the “Jews for Jesus” group (clothed with the words “Messianic Judaism”- I mean who would you want to guess they think is the Messiah anyway?)
The much anticipated Bi-annual Nshei Agudath Israel Musical Comedy will iy”H take place on Sunday, February 17th at the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland, Taylor Road Campus. Please watch for further details.
(Aish.com) (Ed: This is a very touching memoir of the love between a rebbe and his student, as well as the a reminder of how much being Jewish transforms what we are living for.)
Has it really been four years since the passing of my beloved rebbe? My guide, my mentor, my role model… my hero?
Hardly a day passes that I don’t crave Rav Noah’s wise advice; his kind and caring input into my life. The knee jerk reaction of reaching for the phone is long gone, but the desire and the yearning for contact remain. Where can I go with my difficult questions? Where is the voice of sanity in a generation so confused and distracted? When I’m feeling lost, who can shine a light and point me in the direction of my own wisdom again?

Cleveland Heights City Councilman Jason Stein has requested his city be included in a new cooperative study that would consider combining its fire services with Shaker Heights and University Heights.
At the City Council meeting Jan. 7, Stein said he was encouraged when Shaker Heights and University Heights announced in 2011 they were entering into a study that proposed consolidating those two cities’ fire services.
“But I quickly became disheartened, as Cleveland Heights was not asked to join,” he said.

After members of Oheb Zedek-Taylor Road Synagogue sued three of their own board members and the board of trustees at Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue in November 2012, one of Cleveland’s beth din became involved.
A beth din is a court of Jewish religious law organized by a community with a sufficient number of Jews and a sufficient number of disputes to settle. The size of the community doesn’t matter. What does is that it determines there is a sufficient number of disputes to settle.

Now open on Belvoir and Mayfield! Yesterday unleaded 87 was $3.25. If only Giant Eagle had better deals to get even more Fuel Perks but there is still pharmacy, gift cards, and some good deals to increase your Fuel Perks. Also, without confirming it, this location likely has the very hi-tech super easy-to-use free air filling station that we have promoted before.
This coming Shabbos, the Mishna Berurah Amud Yomi Program begins the study of Hilchos Shabbos (Mishna Berurah Volume III)! What a tremendous opportunity to begin the steady, dedicated study of Hilchos Shabbos, on a daily basis. Indeed, if one recites the words “Zachor Es Yom HaShabbos LeKadesho–by studying the Halachos of Shabbos I am fulfilling the Mitzvas Asei DeOraysa contained in the Aseres HaDibros to remember Shabbos”–then, he even further enhances his study of Torah and of practical Halacha with yet another Mitzvah. The Amud Yomi calendars can be downloaded from the website www.mishnaberurayomi.org. One can also register on the website to receive a daily PDF of the Amud Yomi and an audio file of renowned Posek Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, Shlita, explaining the Amud. What a wonderful enhancement this will be to one’s life–especially if he is now studying Mesechta Shabbos in the Daf Yomi!
Several members of the community have been contacted by the founder and organizer of the 2013 Parnassah Nationwide Expo. Per his request and aligned with the Kol Koreh of Moreinu Harav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler Shlit”a Rosh Yeshiva Beth Medrash Govoha (attached PDF). We would like to have a “Cleveland Booth”.
The primary focus of the booth would be to extoll the virtues of our community and educate attendees. In the age of telecommuting the opportunities with housing, our school systems and many other aspects make Cleveland an attractive option for many, especially those burdened with the higher cost of living on the East Coast.
We are seeking volunteers, that would be willing to “man the booth” representing the Greater Orthodox Community of Cleveland at the event.
(Some helpful services are offered, some may be for our community, some perhaps not, some free, some not.)
We regret to inform you of the passing of NAME, RELATIVES NAMES.
More info if desired.
