The Solomon Sefer Torah Campaign
My father in law, Reb Zev Aryeh Solomon, A”H, exemplified all that a Torah true Jew should be. He was conscientious about davening and extremely careful in his interpersonal relationships. He was diligent in regards to learning and kevius itim. From the inception of Kollel Torah Life until his last day, Reb Zev was involved on a daily basis, benefiting from his many chavrusas and shiurim. Mostly, his positive character added to the atmosphere of our community. The vacuum created by his untimely passing will not be easily filled.
In his z’chus, I would like to undertake raising the funds necessary to have a sefer Torah written in his name. Any donation, whether big or small, will help our family achieve this goal.

Rav Nochum Zev Dessler – The Man and His Legacy: A Tribute On His Third Yahrzeit – 18 Shevat
By Rabbi A. Leib Scheinbaum
In Megillas Eichah, the Navi Yirmiyahu laments the sorrowful state of the Jewish People: Yesomim ha’yinu v’ein av, “We were orphans left bereft of our father.” The text is enigmatic. Is it not obvious that if we are orphans we no longer have our father? We may suggest a practical insight: When one loses a parent or mentor, the immediate reaction is to focus on one’s personal loss. Yesomim ha’yinu, we became orphans. It is all about “us,” the change in our lives. We are no longer the same. We have been orphaned. After some time this sets in and we realize that there is a void in our family– our father is gone, our mentor is no longer with us. We have been left bereft of our guide, our inspiration, our source of encouragement. We now lament v’ein av, there is no father.

Letters to Talia by Dov Indig
Dov Indig, a student at a hesder yeshiva, was killed in a battle on the Golan Heights October 7, 1973. His family published his correspondence with Talia, a high school student in a secular kibbutz, in his memory. “The letters reveal the rich spiritual worlds of Dov and Talia and establish a bridge of understanding between these two young people who came from such different backgrounds.” (from the forward)

Interview with Glory Margaret Smith, Cashier and Cook at Kineret Kosher Pizza
(OutOfTheOrthobox.blogspot.com)
I think that every sizable Jewish community has its share of non-Jewish friends who work in its schools, synagogues, restaurants, and institutions. Often, our non-Jewish friends pick up on our cultural foibles, language quirks, and social connections.
Here in Cleveland, Gloria (whose real name, shockingly to many of us Clevelanders, is Glory) from Kineret Kosher Pizza is one of those friends. Everyone know Glory and Glory knows everyone. She’s been working in our community for almost 40 years, and I thought it might be fun to hear her insights and impressions of us.
9 Thoughts for Tu B’Shvat This Wed Night – Thursday Day
(Hakhel – Hakhel.info)
1. In honor of Tu B’Shevat, we provide by the following moving Tefillah from the Ben Ish Chai to be recited for your Esrog this Sukkos (courtesy of Mesivta Yochanan Shraga of Monsey).
2. The G’ra (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 131:6) writes that all four Rosh Hashanas that are written in the beginning of Meseches Rosh Hashana are all Yomim Tovim. The very fact that it is called Rosh Hashana should remind us that it is another opportunity to start again!

How safe is your baby’s medicine bottle? Infant Tylenol and other liquid acetaminophen products have a new safety feature
(ConsumerReports.org)
Drug accidents send more kids under the age of 6 to the emergency room than car crashes. About 10,000 cases a year involve liquid medications, such as cough and cold medicines, as well as infant and child versions of the pain reliever and fever reducer acetaminophen (Tylenol and generic versions). It takes only a moment of caregiver inattention for a curious little one to grab a medicine bottle to try to get to the syrupy liquid inside.
