The Israeli government is telling the world that the Kotel is to be partitioned and include mixed prayer because that is what the “Jewish People” in the Diaspora want.  Together let’s tell them that we are united in one voice to preserve the sanctity of our Holy places for all. By signing this petition you will help send a loud and clear message that these changes do not represent who we are.

Cleveland Heights Garbage and Parking

Leave a Comment

From Community Connection

Garbage pickup delay:
Due to the legal holiday on Monday, Cleveland Heights garbage pickup is delayed by one day. Due to the snow, the city is requesting that the garbage be placed as close as possible to the street to make it easier for the sanitation workers.

Parking around shuls:
The Cleveland Heights Police Department has received complaints regarding cars parked near Shuls that impede access/visibility, creating a safety hazard.. Please be careful not to park too close to the intersection and as close as possible to the curb. This is especially true on Staunton which also serves as a bus route. Aside from Chillul Hashem, cars not parked properly can lead to a ticketing blitz and other crackdowns which we all want to avoid.

870 Children Vaccinated by JFSA

Leave a Comment

At vaccination clinics conducted throughout the community by the Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland, over 2,300 adults and children have received COVID vaccinations to
date. Of that total, 870 children have been immunized.

Many disabled and elderly members of the community, who might otherwise have not been able, received their shots at these clinics. All of the vaccinations were provided at Alyson’s Place, the medical clinic at JFSA in partnership with MetroHealth. “Kids and parents are thrilled to get their shots and the staff and the volunteers have been exceptional,” said Nata Mendlovic, chief operations officer of Alyson’s Place. JFSA caregivers and their families also received their vaccines at these clinics, insuring that JFSA clients could be safe and remain healthy.

Local physicians and nurses have volunteered their personal time to administer the vaccine shots, while community volunteers have also helped registering people and making sure the process is easy and efficient for everyone.

Registration is easy and quick. Sign up now before the clinic date fills up!

Say “No!” to the Kotel Compromise! Webinar Tongiht

1 Comment

Am Echad, an affiliate of the Agudah, is mounting a campaign – 150,000 signatures strong – for Jews outside of Eretz Yisroel to tell the Israeli government “No!” to the plan to partition the Kosel. Partitioning the Kosel, also known as the “Kotel Compromise,” means that all visitors to the Kosel would be guided toward one of two plazas – the “traditional” Kosel Plaza, and a separate plaza for mixed prayer. In addition, control of the Kosel will be given to a Reform and Conservative committee. The government intends to implement this soon because of a Reform-led campaign that told Israeli politicians that this policy is necessary to “appease” Jews outside of Eretz Yisroel. So we ask you to join…

Please sign on, and have your family sign as well, at OneKosel.org. We are telling Prime Minister Bennett, “No, don’t undermine halachah and the religious standards that we’ve kept for centuries!” OneKotel.org. Please join now. You can also join via phone at 917-284-8144. This is really important, which is why…

…Am Echad has asked us to host a webinar tonight, Monday evening, to explain why this is important and to show people how to sign up for their own team so that they can spread the word further. (You can also do this yourself at OneKosel.org – click the button marked “Create My Team.”)

The webinar will be about 15 minutes long, and will be at 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, 9:00 PM, and 10:00 PM (all EST). Register now by clicking here.
