From Duvid Neuman/Dave’s Electrical Services:

Install Combination Smoke / Carbon Monoxide detectors. Get the ones that talk to each other. Test detectors weekly. Change batteries twice yearly Install one in each bedroom or sleeping area, in halls outside the bedrooms and one on each floor. it is a relatively inexpensive and save lives. I want to reiterate: TEST REGULARY and CHANGE BATTERIES TWICE YEARLY.

Have a licensed electrician check your electrical system including switches, receptacles, and appliance cord ends. Be cautious of using space heaters and any electric warming / cooking appliance. Have the electrical distribution [panel boxes, fuse boxes] inspected as well.

Bnos Opening Postponed

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! We have been working very hard to get everything ready for an amazing Bnos experience. B”H the location and leaders are all in place, and of course, we have tons of Bnosers! Although the membership form indicated that we will starting this Shabbos parshas Yisro, we will be starting next Shabbos parshas Mishpatim. Cleveland Heights Bnos has been a little delayed, and will be starting next Shabbos as well. We felt that it is important for Bnos, in both neighborhoods, to begin at the same time.

Have a wonderful Shabbos, and we look forward to seeing everyone next Shabbos.
