From Yeshiva Derech HaTorah:

It was brought to our attention that the blur out on the siddur on the front cover of our Newsletter, did not sufficiently blur the names of Hashem. Please treat the front page as shaimos. To view the Newsletter click here.

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.
