This year, in a most unusual occurrence, the first day of Chanukah coincides with Thanksgiving. This has not happened since 1861, or at least not since Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, according to The Associated Press.
Due to the enthusiastic response to last night’s inspiring video presentation there will be another showing of “Bringing the Light of Chanukah into Our Homes”, featuring Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi from Jerusalem. Tues. Nov. 26th @8 p.m. Location to be announced. For location and other information call Sydney @650-2701.

Question #1: My sister invited our family for Shabbos Chanukah, and we will be sleeping at her neighbor’s house. Where do we set up the menorahs, particularly since I do not even know the neighbor?
Question #2: My husband has a late meeting at work tonight and will not be home until very late. What should we do about kindling Chanukah lights?
Question #3: I will be attending a wedding during Chanukah that requires me to leave my house well before lighting time, and I will not return until very late. Can I kindle at the wedding, just like the lighting that takes place in shul?
Question #4: I will be spending part of Chanukah in a hotel. Where should I kindle my menorah?
Available for pick up on Thursday the 28th at 2:00 from 4438 Baintree in University Heights. Delivery can be arranged upon request.

A few weeks ago a Jewish teenager was riding his bike on E. Antisdale in South Euclid and for “no reason” a teen on the street hit him flat in the face. The teen was surrounded by other youths with backpacks who just looked on. The Jewish kid recovered consciousness and could not recall what happened. At the time it seemed just a random event but recently news stories have indicated that it may be part of a new and very dangerous crime trend. At this point, this is the only incident affecting the Cleveland Jewish community to our knowledge.

(Cleveland Heights City)
In order to encourage school children to walk or bike to school, the City of Cleveland Heights applied for and was awarded a consultant team from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The team, which includes traffic engineers, is helping to develop a School Travel Plan, with a focus on five schools that are geographically dispersed throughout the city. The study schools include Oxford Elementary, Canterbury Elementary, Roxboro Elementary, Monticello Middle School and the Hebrew Academy.
