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.
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.
