Something important to think about with all of this snow
(From a community member)
Our kids are too precious and important for us not to teach them the proper rules for walking in the street when they can’t use the sidewalks. I have seen way too many kids walking with the cars on their way to school and that is just asking for (Chas V’Shalom) an accident.
When walking in the street we should walk against the traffic so that we can see what is coming and not just depend on our hat, ear muffed, and scarves ears to tell us what is coming behind us. It is also Ohio law. PLEASE go over these rules with your kids and more importantly model it when you are with them whether it is walking them to school or walking on Shabbos. They deserve to be taught.

Some Tu B’Shvat Pointers
(Hakhel)
We provide the following point and pointers relating to Tu B’Shevat (Wednesday), and its various customs:
- In honor of Tu B’Shevat, we provide a link http://tinyurl.com/27omq2 to a moving Tefillah from the Ben Ish Chai to be recited for your Esrog this Sukkos (courtesy of Mesivta Yochanan Shraga of Monsey). Before reciting the Tefillah remember how important the role of Tefillah is in actually accomplishing what one sets out to do.
- 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.
- It is the custom to eat fruits from trees on the Rosh Hashana LeIlanos (ibid, Mishna Berurah seif katan 31).This is the case even though it is on Shavuos that we are judged on fruits of the tree. The author of the Luach Bnei Yaakov suggests that perhaps we eat fruits on Tu B’Shevat because man is compared in the Torah to an “Eitz HaSadeh”–and the fruit that he consumes on Tu B’Shevat is to remind him of his own fruits–what are his deeds like, is he producing beautiful fruits…? After all, it is four and a half months since Rosh Hashana–and we will not experience the great spiritual resurgence of Pesach for an additional three months. Accordingly, it is a time to remind ourselves of our own personal fruits, and further nurture them–to ensure that they are worthy of Bracha.
