Elul: Still Searching
(Moshe Block)
The days Of Elul are days of intense love and closeness to HaShem. The very letters that spell the word Elul hint to this idea in the phrase, “Ani lidodi vidodi Li,” “I am to My beloved as My beloved is to Me.” This is Hashem’s expression of His endless love for Klal Yisroel, which is heightened in the month of Elul. How though do we bring about that closeness?

(Rabbi Yitzchok Ehrman, Agudath Israel of Illinois)
The pictures remind one of Superstorm Sandy. On Monday, August 11 the Detroit Jewish community was hit with more than six inches of rain in a span of a few hours. The storm caused significant flooding on city roads and caused the city sewer system to back up into people’s homes. The Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods took the brunt of the sewer backup, devastating the homes of more than 200 families.

New Akron/Canton Airport Ride Sharing
(Repost) Have you ever felt the frustration of driving out to Akron/Canton Airport, only to find your neighbor waiting for the same flight? We can change that! There is a new ride “gemach” planned for the Akron Canton Airport now in operation. Continue reading below or click the link on the main LJN web page just below the classifieds icon.
The goal is to connect people taking the same flight, allowing them to share rides. The service will be run through the Local Jewish News and a form will take your flight and contact information. The form goes to a private email address and is read by a designated volunteer, so your information will never be visible to others. If there’s a match, all parties will receive contact information.The email will be checked only once a day, so the deadline is 24 hours before your flight. We hope this will help make your traveling go much easier!
24 Hours are needed for matches!
David Markovich – 5K for Transverse Myelitis
My name is David Markovich. Four months ago, the world seemed to freeze. I suddenly woke up paralyzed from the waist down. I would soon be diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, an extremely rare neurological condition causing inflammation of the spinal cord. Today, with… God’s help, I am walking on my own two feet again, without any assistance. On October 18th, I plan to run the Baltimore 5K (as part of the Baltimore Running Festival) in honor of all of those fighting Transverse Myelitis.

Keith Winebrenner is sworn in as Beachwood’s new chief of police

From Suspicion to Bracha (Blessing)
(Hakhel)
Chazal (Brachos 31B) teach that if someone suspects another (choshaid b’chaveiro) and the suspicion is untrue–then he must give a bracha to that person. We learn this from the suspicion that Eli Hakohein had that Chana was drunk. Because it turned out that the suspicion was unfounded, he gave her a great blessing “V’Elokei Yisrael Yitein Es She’ailaseich–may Hashem grant your request to have a child.”
We should not, of course, suspect anyone of anything. However, if the suspicion that ‘You lost this’, ‘You spilled that’, ‘You caused this’, ‘You said that’ comes up, we should follow Chazal’s directive and give a heart filled and heartfelt bracha–and may it be fulfilled!

The details are contained in the article that appears below.
The Cleveland Heights City Council has shown truly incredible concern, friendship, and support in this long process of making Milliken a home for the new Mosdos campus.
