Please join Lax and Mandel Bakery for our 4th annual Post Pesach Chametz Eating Event!(Matzav.com)
The following story took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, and describes how a gentile converted to Judaism because of selling chometz.
Now Raavad of Yerushalayim, Rav Moshe Sternbuch was the rov of the community at the time, and every year on Erev Pesach he would sell the chometz of the community to a certain gentile. One particular year, on Chol Hamoed morning, there was a knock on the door of a Jew of the community. Standing there was the gentile to whom all the chometz was sold.
The Regional Income Tax Agency announced that they will extend the filing deadline for 2013 local taxes to Monday, April 21. Filers have until midnight on that day to file tax forms with R.I.T.A. The filing deadline was extended because the R.IT.A. website and phones have been overwhelmed by the numbers of taxpayers attempting to file on the 15th.
Wishing all of our LJN readers a great Yom Tov! There will be no business postings all of Pesach, just some Chol HaMoed related postings.

The newly-created South Euclid public park behind Walmart is excluded from the Cleveland Community Eruv. This means that on Shabbos, no one is allowed to carry, push a stoller, etc., anywhere in the park. The park includes a retaining pool, which is not halachically allowed within an Eruv. During the Walmart construction, the Eruv committee arranged to build a “fence” around the entire park to exclude it from the Eruv. The rest of the Eruv has not been affected.
