Simchas Alta Vita Hachnosas Kallah Evening Reception
Simchas Alta Vita: Restoring Joy, Upholding Dignity
Still enveloped in the halo of her vort just two weeks before, Hadassah hummed to herself as she walked to her room, visions of lacy gowns and cascading flowers swirling in her mind.
Suddenly, she heard her father’s voice.
“I just don’t know how we are going to pull this off,” he was saying to her mother. “We’re maxxed out as it is. I can barely scrape together a down payment for the caterer – never mind sheitels and appliances!” (Learn more … ) [Read more…]
The Halachos of (Not) Skipping Tachanun – By Rabbi Binyomin Radner
What is the source, background and significance of Tachanun a.k.a Nefilas Apayim, the practice of falling on one’s face and reciting Tachanun? Is Tachanun mandatory or optional? Why is there no Tachanun at Maariv? Are we allowed to skip Tachanun for a yohrtzeit? Can Tachanun be recited while standing up? Is Tachanun recited by both Mincha Ketana and Mincha Gedola?
Background – When Moshe Rabbeinu relates how he prayed on behalf of the Jewish nation after the sin with the golden calf, he tells of three different methods of how he prayed, in order to invoke the divine mercy which ultimately resulted in hearing the most vital words from G-d, ‘Salachti kidvarecha’.

Reflect on the consequences of walking at night
(Repost from last year this time) Just recently a young man was hit by a car crossing a street at night in Beachwood. Despite the fact that he crossed in a crosswalk, it was just too hard to see someone dressed in black at night. At the encouragement of his family, our community is being asked to be more vigilant about wearing reflectors. Sponsored belts can be purchased for $3 at the local seforim stores. Marc’s and discount stores frequently sell very inexpensive reflective vests. Flashing lights and flashlights are only a few dollars. Just recently Lakewood launched a “Shabbos of Reflection” after 101 pedestrians were struck, 5 fatally in 2012. Maybe it is time for a little more “reflection” in Cleveland too? Well, Chaverim has plans underway for a whole campaign soon! Click here to view a pamphlet which outlines the halachos of wearing a reflector in a place where there is no eruv (say you are traveling outside of the Cleveland eruv on Shabbos or do not carry).
