New Akron/Canton Airport Ride Sharing

1 Comment

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.

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!

Parshas V’eschanon – Lessons In Prayer – Rabbi Moshe Block

Leave a Comment

In the beginning of this week’s parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu recounts how he beseeched Hashem to enter the land of Israel. Chazal tell us that the gematria, or numerical value, of the word V’eschanon,” which means, “And I beseeched,” is 515. This corresponds to the 515 prayers Moshe advanced, begging to enter the land of Israel. Ultimately, Moshe Rabbeinu was not allowed to enter as Hashem told him, “Al tosef daber ailai od badavar hazeh.” “Do not continue to speak to me of this matter.” What though, happened to all those prayers? Were they all for naught? Moreover, just a few pesukim later, Moshe tells Klal Yisroel of their superiority over the nations of the world, “Ki mi goy gadol asher lo elokim krovim eilav kaHashem Elokeinu b’chol kar’ainu eilav.” “For which is a great nation that has a God Who is close to it as is Hashem our God, whenever we call to Him.” How can Moshe say this after begging Hashem 515 times and being answered in the negative? I believe this teaches us a fundamental lesson about prayer.

Machsom L’Fi for Basya Rivka Bas Entel – Extended One More Week

3 Comments

Thanks to the community for filling almost every space in last week’s Machsom L’ Fi! We have added more spaces – through Friday, August, 15th.

In the merit of a refuah shelayman for BASYA RIVKA BAS ENTEL, a young girl from our community – the community is invited to take part in a Machsom L’Fi (period of either no talking, or of very careful speech, certainly refraining from lashon harah).  Her condition is very serious and she is in need of Rachmei Shomayim. May we be zocheh to hear b’soros tovos b’korov!

3 ways to sign up 1) Online spreadsheet – just fill in the slot time and name at this link  2) Email bsdreno@gmail.com and ask for assistance to schedule your time 3)  Text 216-701-3492 (write Machsom L’fi first in text) for assistance in scheduling. This will be through Monday, August 11th and will likely be updated and expanded then.

We certainly know that everyone has ALL of our Chayalim and the safety of Eretz Yisrael, on our minds and in our tefillos always.

Many of us are paired to daven for individual soldiers through international programs.

We are putting together a list of Chayalim who are Cleveland ‘family’ or extended…and will send that list to all the shuls in our community.

What Happens When We Do Something Wrong? By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff

(RabbiKaganoff.com)

Since the Aseres Hadibros which include the laws of Shabbos are in Parshas Va’eschanan, we have an opportunity to discuss what happens when we do something wrong on Shabbos.

What Happens When We Do Something Wrong?

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff

Question #1: Cholent caper

Shimon looks rather sheepish when he asks this shaylah on Shabbos morning: During the night, he tasted the cholent and decided it needed some extra spices. Without thinking, he added some pepper and garlic powder, which is clearly an act of desecrating Shabbos. Can the cholent be eaten, or is it prohibited to benefit from this melachah?

Walmart is Serious about Kosher and Pareve!

Leave a Comment

vanillacremes(Kosher “Insider”)

Walmart’s motto is: “Save money. Live better.” They are therefore bringing to the Kosher consumer new low priced brands and national Kosher brands at attractive prices. Both here in the South Euclid store and around the country.

For this week , look in the Kosher section for: Uncle Al’s sandwich crèmes, 13 ounce trays, OU Pareve, at 98 cents! Learn more about these cookies online. 

Walmart plans on bringing more and more products aimed at the Orthodox Kosher Community in both the Cleveland market and others across the country. All you have do is buy the stuff and ask for more. Tell your friends. Make sure you tell the stores that you appreciate them carrying these items and more will follow.
