Sholom Schonfeld may have made history at MetroHealth Old Brooklyn Health Center in Cleveland when he erected possibly the first sukkah on MetroHealth grounds.

Schonfeld, a member of Ahavas Yisroel synagogue in Cleveland Heights, built the sukkah so that he could spend the holiday with his son, who is in rehab. His son is a student at Telshe Yeshiva in Wickliffe.

General Election November 3rd

1 Comment

Everyone should please be aware that November is time to VOTE! Don’t forget what a difference our community’s vote made in the last election (school levy, etc) !! This election has some major issues such as the Cleveland Heights Income Tax, City Council (UH, CH, and Beachwood) and CHUH School Board, marijuana and cigarette tax issues, and many more important things.
So PLEASE:
(a) Apply for absentee ballot now if you anticipate not making it to the polls. Anyone can request one – there is no reason needed. One month before the election, one can both request a ballot and submit it. Click here for more info and forms >>
(b) Remind bochurim and students who are home now and over 18 to make use of the absentee ballot before they head out of town.
(c) Anyone who is not registered should do so NOW before the primary in the spring.  It is too late to register for the November election (30 days before). As long as you will be l be 18 by the election, you can register. If you moved and need to update your registration you can still vote by provisional ballot and just change your voting place for next time.  Click here to confirm that you are registered or to register for the first time >>

Construction starts on Fenwick Road park in University Heights

Leave a Comment

fenwick(Cleveland.com)(Update: On July 24th a grand opening celebration was held to debut the new park.)

Construction has started on a 6.5-acre park off Fenwick Road, the city’s first significant recreational project in 20 years.

“It’s going to introduce an asset to the city that we don’t currently have,” Mayor Susan Infeld said. “It’s the type of amenity most people would expect to find in a community of homes, such as ours.”

In August, City Council hired Cavanaugh Building Corp. of Copley Township to build the park. To pay for it, voters approved a $1.8 million bond issue in November 2014. Property owners will repay the debt over 15 years, at a cost of about $25 a year on each $100,000 of home value.
