Note from a Pediatrician to Parents on Purim

3 Comments

To our community at large:
During recent Yom Tovim and Purims of the past there have been no lack of incidents in which bochrim (and others) drank way too much and put themselves in a very dangerous risk, and ended up harming themselves in a host of ways, leading to some seriously risky medical situations.
Therefore, I urge everyone to please take responsibility of your children. If you allow them to drink please make sure it is supervised and never should anyone allow their kids to drink so much to end up in an Intensive Care Unit. Additionally, please be aware that it may be illegal to give alcohol to another person’s child.
Thank you and have a happy Purim.

Letter from LJN Reader: CH Break-ins

Leave a Comment

letter

I live on Berkeley Road in Cleveland Heights and our car was broken into last night. Some things were stolen from it and our garage was gone through.  Across the street from us, our neighbor’s house was broken into while people were sleeping in the house. We have had a lot of police here looking into it–B”H for our wonderful police. This is a reminder to lock cars and houses. My husband can’t remember if he locked the car, and I don’t know about my neighbor. I also don’t know if anything else happened last night.  I think if we’re all aware of this activity, we can help each other and the police.
A good Shabbos and a Freilechen Purim!
All the best,
Dodi Schwab
