Homestead Exemption and New Income Requirements for 2014
Many are well aware of the Homestead Exemption that allows homeowners over 65 to receive a reduction in their property taxes. In this link and below appears detailed information on this discount and how to apply from the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer’s website. However, it is important to note that after January 1, 2014 there is now a new income requirement on the books that homeowners making more than $30, 000 will no longer qualify. See here for more details on this new change from a state-wide perspective. Ask your accountant for details, but it appears to this author that still one can apply this year and circumvent this income requirement. Applications are being accepted through the first Monday in June.
New park in University Heights continues to take shape
(Cleveland.com)
It would be up to city residents whether they would like to continue a recreational bond issue to fund park improvements at the cleared site of the old Northwood and Fuchs Mizrachi school.
That’s just one of the items left up for discussion after the Jan. 15 public meeting, attended by about 50 people, on the development of the 6.5-acre park.

Receiving the Torah Again 4x per Week
(Hakhel.info)
The monumental occasion of Har Sinai is relived in Shul four times a week at Kriyas HaTorah. How so? The Mishna Berurah (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 141, seif katan 16) writes that the Ba’al Kriyah is the Shul’s equivalent of Moshe Rabbeinu, relating the Torah to all assembled–men and women, young and old–at the behest of the Gabbai, who kevayachol, is “in the place of” Hashem, designating whom he wants to call to the Torah to hear its teaching.

The Solomon Sefer Torah Campaign
My father in law, Reb Zev Aryeh Solomon, A”H, exemplified all that a Torah true Jew should be. He was conscientious about davening and extremely careful in his interpersonal relationships. He was diligent in regards to learning and kevius itim. From the inception of Kollel Torah Life until his last day, Reb Zev was involved on a daily basis, benefiting from his many chavrusas and shiurim. Mostly, his positive character added to the atmosphere of our community. The vacuum created by his untimely passing will not be easily filled.
In his z’chus, I would like to undertake raising the funds necessary to have a sefer Torah written in his name. Any donation, whether big or small, will help our family achieve this goal.

Rav Nochum Zev Dessler – The Man and His Legacy: A Tribute On His Third Yahrzeit – 18 Shevat
By Rabbi A. Leib Scheinbaum
In Megillas Eichah, the Navi Yirmiyahu laments the sorrowful state of the Jewish People: Yesomim ha’yinu v’ein av, “We were orphans left bereft of our father.” The text is enigmatic. Is it not obvious that if we are orphans we no longer have our father? We may suggest a practical insight: When one loses a parent or mentor, the immediate reaction is to focus on one’s personal loss. Yesomim ha’yinu, we became orphans. It is all about “us,” the change in our lives. We are no longer the same. We have been orphaned. After some time this sets in and we realize that there is a void in our family– our father is gone, our mentor is no longer with us. We have been left bereft of our guide, our inspiration, our source of encouragement. We now lament v’ein av, there is no father.
