Walmart move shifts burden to South Euclid police

Leave a Comment

walmartcost(Cleveland.com)(Ed: Looks like South Euclid has inherited a whole lot of crime and police time in exchange for a development that not everyone really wanted and is not going to really do much for the city. Police have been called already 110 times to the new location!)

The less-than-two-mile move Walmart made from Cleveland Heights to South Euclid is a short distance in driving time but a significant difference for police departments responding to calls from the supermarket giant.

Cleveland Heights police dumped an average of 305 calls for service per year since 2000 from the now-closed Mayfield Road store after the company moved to Warrensville Center Road and opened Oct. 16.

Walmart Peppers Made in Israel

Leave a Comment

coloredpeppersThere were some reports on Friday that Walmart shoppers had noticed that the peppers being sold were grown in Israel.These of course cannot be eaten unless terumos and maaseros have been separated. It is not known which varieties or packages, but it is more likely to include the red, orange, and yellow varieties. In previous years, we have seen Israeli Clementines and peppers at many area grocery stores (Israeli peppers are more common in the winter season). Also, look for Israeli Jaffa oranges that are being sold with an O-U indicating trumos and maaseros have already been separated.

The OU has a helpful article explaining how to separate terumos and maaseros.

Fast of Asarah B’Teves

Leave a Comment

temple(Rabbi Yehuda Spitz)(In Cleveland 5775 Fast begins 6:40am, Fast ends 5:49 pm)

Why This Fast?

The reason given for fasting on Asarah B’Teves is that it is the day that the wicked Babylonian king, Nevuchadnetzar, commenced his siege of Yerushalayim[2], foreshadowing the beginning of the end of the first Beis Hamikdash, which culminated with its destruction on Tisha B’Av several years later. Therefore, Chazal declared it a public fast, one of four public fast days that memorialize different aspects of the catastrophes and national tragedies associated with the destruction of both Batei HaMikdash[3].
