A reader has written in asking that we alert the community to a possible error in the practice of those who eat Oreo Cookies based on the assumption that while they carry an OU-D they do not have any actual dairy ingredients and are merely considered “dairy equipment.” This assumption was perhaps based on statements available online such as:

As per advice from her attorney, Channah Appel is asking anyone from the community who is free at 1:30pm on Tuesday, December 17th to come to the Cleveland Heights court across from Dave’s supermarket off of Mayfield Rd. After being surprised to find out that there was a warrant out for her arrest in Cleveland Heights, Mrs. Appel was sent to jail and booked just after Succos, being placed in a cell, fingerprinted, and photographed for a mug shot.

The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library is pleased to announce it will be increasing its Sunday hours in 2014 by opening its University Heights branch on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. The new hours will begin on January 5, 2014.
The increased Sunday hours are being implemented in response to the community‘s request to return Sunday hours to the library’s branches. In 2009, Heights Libraries had to cut Sunday hours at three out of its four branches when the State of Ohio drastically reduced public library funding: The Lee Road branch remained open on Sundays but the Coventry Village, Noble Neighborhood, and University Heights branches closed.

The state opened registration Monday for people who beginning in January can get health insurance through an expanded Medicaid program.
Registration is through a new website officials hope most people will use to get enrolled.
The website, Benefits.ohio.gov, asks users a series of questions to determine if they are eligible for Medicaid under the new regulations, and helps them enroll if they are. If they are not eligible, it also provides a link to the federal insurance exchange site, Healthcare.gov.
Don’t wait to make your reservations since we often fill up. We look forward to seeing you soon.

A Torah is among a congregation’s most cherished possessions, containing the foundational narrative of the Jewish people. So when Young Israel of Greater Cleveland learned the Jewish community in Warsaw needed a Torah, they responded by offering one of their own.
“To walk through the streets of Warsaw with this Torah in our arms, and present it to the Jewish community was really special. It was a mitzvah,” said J. David Heller, one of the Federation mission participants who brought the restored Torah from Young Israel in Cleveland to Warsaw, where Jewish life and culture are being revitalized.
