Atideinu is now registered with AmazonSmile! This means that if you go to smile.amazon.com, follow the instructions to make Atideinu your preferred charity, and then shop as you normally would, but on the Smile site, Amazon will give Atideinu a percentage of the purchase price of qualifying items (which includes almost everything you buy), every time you use that site. Same prices, same deals of the day. Couldn’t be easier, and everyone benefits – you, because you find what you need; Amazon, because they make sales; Atideinu because we get a donation. So, remember to Smile while you shop, and spread the happiness. Atideinu is a 501(c)(3) organization

From Ephraim Cheron:

The Kosher Hot Dog stand at Progressive Field will not have Kosher supervision for Game One of the World Series. Yes, Havdalla is 7:30 and the game starts at 8. But the gates open at 5:30 and the employees have to be there at 4.

Similarly, the stand will not have Kosher supervision for the Game 4 Watch Party on Saturday night. The stand will operate with the kosher equipment under supervision for Games 2, 6, and 7, as well as the Game 5 Watch Party on Sunday night. Go Tribe.

The Beachwood Mikvah hours tonight and tomorrow night (Shmini  Atzeres and Simchas Torah) are 7:10-7:40. We apologize for any confusion.
