Interview with Glory Margaret Smith, Cashier and Cook at Kineret Kosher Pizza

Leave a Comment

glory(OutOfTheOrthobox.blogspot.com)

I think that every sizable Jewish community has its share of non-Jewish friends who work in its schools, synagogues, restaurants, and institutions.  Often, our non-Jewish friends pick up on our cultural foibles, language quirks, and social connections.

Here in Cleveland, Gloria (whose real name, shockingly to many of us Clevelanders, is Glory) from Kineret Kosher Pizza is one of those friends.  Everyone know Glory and Glory knows everyone.  She’s been working in our community for almost 40 years, and I thought it might be fun to hear her insights and impressions of us.

1. In honor of Tu B’Shevat, we provide by the following moving Tefillah from the Ben Ish Chai to be recited for your Esrog this Sukkos (courtesy of Mesivta Yochanan Shraga of Monsey).

2.  The G’ra (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 131:6) writes that all four Rosh Hashanas that are written in the beginning of Meseches Rosh Hashana are all Yomim Tovim.  The very fact that it is called Rosh Hashana should remind us that it is another opportunity to start again!

How safe is your baby’s medicine bottle? Infant Tylenol and other liquid acetaminophen products have a new safety feature

Leave a Comment

flowrestrdcitmeds(ConsumerReports.org)

Drug accidents send more kids under the age of 6 to the emergency room than car crashes. About 10,000 cases a year involve liquid medications, such as cough and cold medicines, as well as infant and child versions of the pain reliever and fever reducer acetaminophen (Tylenol and generic versions). It takes only a moment of caregiver inattention for a curious little one to grab a medicine bottle to try to get to the syrupy liquid inside.

How Does a Person Convert to Judaism By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff

Leave a Comment

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff (RabbiKaganoff.com)

 

When our ancestors accepted responsibility to observe the Torah, they did so by performing bris milah, immersing themselves in a mikveh, and offering korbanos. A non-Jew who chooses to join the Jewish people is entering the same covenant and must follow a similar procedure (Kerisus 9a).

 

 

The privilege of becoming a ger tzedek requires one to follow very exacting guidelines. On a technical level, the ger is accepting responsibility to perform mitzvos. Through the gerus procedure, he creates an obligation upon himself to observe mitzvos (Birchas Shmuel, Kiddushin #15).

The Solomon Sefer Torah Campaign

Leave a Comment

ttttMy father in law, Reb Zev Aryeh Solomon, A”H, exemplified all that a Torah true Jew should be. He was conscientious about davening and extremely careful in his interpersonal relationships. He was diligent in regards to learning and kevius itim. From the inception of Kollel Torah Life until his last day, Reb Zev was involved on a daily basis, benefiting from his many chavrusas and shiurim. Mostly, his positive character added to the atmosphere of our community. The vacuum created by his untimely passing will not be easily filled.

In his z’chus, I would like to undertake raising the funds necessary to have a sefer Torah written in his name. Any donation, whether big or small, will help our family achieve this goal.
