(RabbiKaganoff.com) After Eliezer’s (Eved Avraham) extensive travels through the desert, he presumably recited birchas hagomeil. Did he use the same text that we use?
Question #1: Slip up in shul

“Hagomeil tovim, shegemalani kol tuv,” thereby omitting the word lachayavim in “Hagomeil lachayavim tovim.” Must he now repeat the bracha because he omitted a word?

We are very pleased to announce the debut of the LJN Community Calendar. For a long while, schools and organizations have been asking for an Orthodox community-wide calendar to keep track of events and reduce the amount of double-scheduling.

(Cleveland.com)(Ed: Looks like South Euclid has inherited a whole lot of crime and police time in exchange for a development that not everyone really wanted and is not going to really do much for the city. Police have been called already 110 times to the new location!)
The less-than-two-mile move Walmart made from Cleveland Heights to South Euclid is a short distance in driving time but a significant difference for police departments responding to calls from the supermarket giant.
Cleveland Heights police dumped an average of 305 calls for service per year since 2000 from the now-closed Mayfield Road store after the company moved to Warrensville Center Road and opened Oct. 16.
