News, Info & Resources for the Cleveland Orthodox Jewish Community
A large Baptist group from out of state has been making the rounds most recently in Cleveland Heights and University Heights targeting the Jewish community, and handing out literature with Hebrew print or simply leaving it at doorsteps. They claim that they are not affiliated with the “Jews for J” movement.
Also, visit the following link from Jews for Judaism describing the movement called Messianic Visions, a 13 million dollar a year missionary group targeting Jews all over the country.
We could use additional volunteers to help this program. Call Devorah Alevsky 216-382-1878.

A dozen tall ships will sail into Cleveland this week, riding the waves of history and binding the past to the present in wood, wind and war. (See below for the full schedule.) They’ll be here from Wednesday through Sunday, long enough to provide a glimpse of the type of ships that once helped defend this nation during the War of 1812.

It seems that since Monday night things have been quiet as far as the suspect is concerned. It is very likely that given all the attention that this story has gotten (16,ooo page views, WKYC 3 News report), as well as the very strong police presence in the area, that the suspect has decided not to return. Once again, it is important to restate that he has not been seen making any physical gestures or attempts to grab children, but rather following, scaring, saying lewd things, or similar to children on the sidewalk. It is important to stay on the look-out but B”H we have not heard anything about him in almost a week.
A few new details have been clarified about the suspect’s vehicle. There was some confusion about the make and model of the vehicle with many of those who spotted him saying that it was either some time of small SUV/ cross-over. It is not surprising that it turns out that the vehicle is a not very common, 2012 or 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport and the color is silver. Visit this link to get a number of different views of this vehicle. This has been confirmed based upon a photograph taken by someone who saw this vehicle near children in Cleveland Heights. In this photograph, the vehicle has a temp license on the back but it was too blurry to read and police have fully investigated this lead. There seems to be consistency that the suspect is a white male, 40s, dark-hair with some spikes or similar in the front.
