Baruch Dayan Ha’Emes – Shua Polonsky, ob”m

4 Comments

With great sadness, shock and pain we inform you of the sudden and untimely passing of Shua Polonsky, ob”m, יהושע רפאל בן הרשל לייב הלוי, a 31 year old beloved husband and father to two young girls, after a sudden brief illness, during which Klal Yisrael of all stripes came together to pray for his recovery.

Shua was the husband of Simi Polonsky, father of Emanuella and Sophia, son of Leonardo and Yocheved Polonsky, grandson of Mel and Marcia Waxman, nephew and cousin of the Larry Waxman family, and friend of all.

Over the past several weeks since he fell ill, Shua fought bravely while his doctors struggled to save his life. Unfortunately, their tireless efforts did not bear fruit, and Shua returned his soul to his maker this afternoon, Thursday, the 20th of Cheshvan.

Levaya information will be posted when available.

Letter from UH Councilmembers Wiseman and Weiss – Your Vote Made the Difference

Leave a Comment

Dear Residents,

This January, there will be a new Mayor and the return of four incumbent Councilmembers in University Heights. The difference in the election was 54 votes. You may not be aware, but the biggest difference in voter turnout from past elections (and the main reason why we will have a new Mayor) was the response by the Jewish Community. While many may not understand why it matters who the Mayor is in our City, we can assure you that having a Mayor who is responsive to our community’s needs and willing to engage us as a distinct population is incredibly important.

The fact that our community was the difference in this election will help us tremendously in the coming four years. In a city this small (again 54 votes is a very thin margin) every vote counts. This teaches us that together – and as individuals – we can make meaningful and impactful change. We thank you for your efforts and your willingness to take the time necessary to send a message to City Hall that our Community is willing to help shape the future for University Heights. Your City Council will now operate like a truly collaborative administrative body and be in a much better position to respond to everyone’s needs.

Yasher koach! Thank you!

Councilmembers Mark Wiseman and Michele Weiss
