Which Kriah CD Should You Buy?
Are you trying to choose a good kriah (Hebrew reading) CD for your kids, but you’re confused about which to buy? It can be hard to find detailed information about what each CD offers. Since our family recently bought a new kriah CD, we thought we’d share our experiences with the two that we own. Hopefully this review will help other families choose which one is best for their family.
Kriyah Coach is a new CD that was created as a way to raise money for tzedakah. It assumes that kids already know the alef-beis; there’s a quick alef-beis review you can click on, with video footage of a rebbe and his class pointing to the osios and reviewing them, but that’s all that’s offered for alef-beis. The CD’s focus is on learning the nekudah sounds and learning to blend. For each nekudah, there’s a 3-step approach: first, a computer-animated scene with characters introducing the nekudah; second, video footage of Rabbi Henoch Potash teaching that nekudah to his class; and third, a brief exercise for the child to practice with.
The pronunciation used is mainstream yeshivish.
Overall, Kriyah Coach is cute–the little boys in Rabbi Potash’s class are adorable, and the animated characters interest kids–but it doesn’t offer a lot of practice.
Shovavim Shiur for Women at Kehillas Bnai Torah

Segulah of Parshas HaMan for Tuesday
The Yerushalmi teaches that one who recites Parshas Hamon every day is assured that his food will not be lacking. Reb Mendel M’Riminov said that saying Parshas Hamon (Shenayim Mikroh V’Echod Targum) on the Tuesday of Parshas B’Shalach, is a Segulah for Parnasah, and indeed this has become a well accepted custom in many circles. Also have in mind as well all of Klal Yisroel, many of whom are suffering terribly with a lack of parnassah. Chazal teach that one who prays for someone else in need, for the same thing that they need, the one praying for their friend will be answered first!

South Euclid To Return To Issuing Parking Tickets January 23rd, 2013

Recall on Honda Odysseys and Pilots 2011-13
(AutoMedia, Honda)
Honda has issued a voluntary recall for 2009-2013 model-year Pilots and 2011-2013 model-year Odysseys, on account of a possible driver-side airbag defect.
More than 748,000 vehicles are subject to the possibility of an improperly installed airbag, that could be missing a few crucial rivets that secure the airbag’s plastic cover. As a result, airbags might deploy improperly and do more harm than good should an accident occur.

Letter from a Reader: CJN Helps Missionaries Advertise and Proselytize Jews from our Community
(Ed: The following is a letter written by Channah Appel to the Cleveland Jewish News in response to their acceptance of a paid ad for a “Messianic J_” movie appearing on p. 10 in their January 18th, 2013 issue. The identity of the publisher was not unknown and even the ad copy uses the terminology “Messianic Jew.” Visiting the website referenced in the ad makes the purpose of this event even clearer – to proselytize Jews. Please read this letter which has been submitted already and write your own to the CJN to protest their decision. Contact Managing Editor Bob Jacob: editorial@cjn.org or 216-342-5207. A scan of this ad appears at the end of this letter)
“I understand that newspapers in general are going through a rough time. Internet is the more popular mode for reading and keeping up with the news. This does not mean that any person with money should be allowed to advertise in the paper. What was the advertising staff thinking when they took the ad for the “Jews for Jesus” group (clothed with the words “Messianic Judaism”- I mean who would you want to guess they think is the Messiah anyway?)

Rav Noah’s Gifts
(Aish.com) (Ed: This is a very touching memoir of the love between a rebbe and his student, as well as the a reminder of how much being Jewish transforms what we are living for.)
Has it really been four years since the passing of my beloved rebbe? My guide, my mentor, my role model… my hero?
Hardly a day passes that I don’t crave Rav Noah’s wise advice; his kind and caring input into my life. The knee jerk reaction of reaching for the phone is long gone, but the desire and the yearning for contact remain. Where can I go with my difficult questions? Where is the voice of sanity in a generation so confused and distracted? When I’m feeling lost, who can shine a light and point me in the direction of my own wisdom again?
Cleveland Heights City Councilman Jason Stein requests new study on combining fire services with Shaker Heights, University Heights
(Sun News)
Cleveland Heights City Councilman Jason Stein has requested his city be included in a new cooperative study that would consider combining its fire services with Shaker Heights and University Heights.
At the City Council meeting Jan. 7, Stein said he was encouraged when Shaker Heights and University Heights announced in 2011 they were entering into a study that proposed consolidating those two cities’ fire services.
“But I quickly became disheartened, as Cleveland Heights was not asked to join,” he said.

Beth dins play integral role in settling disputes
(Cleveland Jewish News)
After members of Oheb Zedek-Taylor Road Synagogue sued three of their own board members and the board of trustees at Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue in November 2012, one of Cleveland’s beth din became involved.
A beth din is a court of Jewish religious law organized by a community with a sufficient number of Jews and a sufficient number of disputes to settle. The size of the community doesn’t matter. What does is that it determines there is a sufficient number of disputes to settle.
