Better, More Carefully Chosen Words
Yesterday was the Yahrzeit of the Manchester Rosh HaYeshiva, HaRav Yehuda Zev B’R Moshe Yitzchak HaLevi Segal, Z’tl. HaRav Segal put the Koach HaPeh (power of speech) at the forefront of his Avodas Hashem (divine service) and assured others that they would experience personal Yeshuos (redemptions) through the proper study and application of Shemiras Halashon (careful speech). The concept of Yoseir MiMah She’Hayisi (more than I was previously) can especially be used with the words one allows himself to speak, for one can continuously edify and refine his speech and his manner of speech. ’I am going to cheat on my diet with this piece of cake.’; ’Can I steal a moment of your time?’; ‘What a disgusting bug!’; ‘That food is nasty’; ‘I have no patience for this!’; ’I can’t talk to you bye [click]’–are all examples of short statements which ultimately impact a person’s mindset and overall personality.
Elderly, Sick Air Travellers and TSA – Tips
(Hakhel, Aneinu) If you are traveling in the United States with someone, i.e., an elderly or sick parent who will have difficulty waiting in the long security line, there is something you can do to expedite the screening process: You can call ‘TSACare’ 72 hours before flight time at 855-787-2227 and press 2 . You will speak to a person and give them the date, time, and airport you will be leaving and returning from. They will contact the TSA customer representative in that airport. They call back and give you the cell phone number of the representative who will be on duty at the time of your travel.

Homestead Exemption and New Income Requirements for 2014
Many are well aware of the Homestead Exemption that allows homeowners over 65 to receive a reduction in their property taxes. In this link and below appears detailed information on this discount and how to apply from the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer’s website. However, it is important to note that after January 1, 2014 there is now a new income requirement on the books that homeowners making more than $30, 000 will no longer qualify. See here for more details on this new change from a state-wide perspective. Ask your accountant for details, but it appears to this author that still one can apply this year and circumvent this income requirement. Applications are being accepted through the first Monday in June.
New park in University Heights continues to take shape
(Cleveland.com)
It would be up to city residents whether they would like to continue a recreational bond issue to fund park improvements at the cleared site of the old Northwood and Fuchs Mizrachi school.
That’s just one of the items left up for discussion after the Jan. 15 public meeting, attended by about 50 people, on the development of the 6.5-acre park.

Receiving the Torah Again 4x per Week
(Hakhel.info)
The monumental occasion of Har Sinai is relived in Shul four times a week at Kriyas HaTorah. How so? The Mishna Berurah (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 141, seif katan 16) writes that the Ba’al Kriyah is the Shul’s equivalent of Moshe Rabbeinu, relating the Torah to all assembled–men and women, young and old–at the behest of the Gabbai, who kevayachol, is “in the place of” Hashem, designating whom he wants to call to the Torah to hear its teaching.
