1/12/18 Early School Dismissals – Plus Minyan Request

Leave a Comment

Hebrew Academy

  • HAC dismissing early, at 12 with bussing.
  • Oakwood Yeshiva of Cleveland dismissing at 12:30 with bussing.
  • Yavne dismissing at 11:30 with 12:00 bussing.

LJN publishes on Friday only when there is an immediate need. Since this post will likely be highly viewed, I’m taking the unusual step of including an unrelated but important request.

The funeral of Martin Tesler, ob”m, is today. Due to the circumstances, a minyan isn’t confirmed. If you can help with a graveside minyan that would be a huge help and zechus. https://www.localjewishnews.com/2018/01/11/baruch-dayan-haemes-martin-tesler-obm/

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.
