After members of Oheb Zedek-Taylor Road Synagogue sued three of their own board members and the board of trustees at Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue in November 2012, one of Cleveland’s beth din became involved.

A beth din is a court of Jewish religious law organized by a community with a sufficient number of Jews and a sufficient number of disputes to settle. The size of the community doesn’t matter. What does is that it determines there is a sufficient number of disputes to settle.

This coming Shabbos, the Mishna Berurah Amud Yomi Program begins the study of Hilchos Shabbos (Mishna Berurah Volume III)!  What a tremendous opportunity to begin the steady, dedicated study of Hilchos Shabbos, on a daily basis.  Indeed, if one recites the words “Zachor Es Yom HaShabbos LeKadesho–by studying the Halachos of Shabbos I am fulfilling the Mitzvas Asei DeOraysa contained in the Aseres HaDibros to remember Shabbos”–then, he even further enhances his study of Torah and of practical Halacha with yet another Mitzvah.  The Amud Yomi calendars can be downloaded from the website www.mishnaberurayomi.org.  One can also register on the website to receive a daily PDF of the Amud Yomi and an audio file of renowned Posek Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, Shlita, explaining the Amud.  What a wonderful enhancement this will be to one’s life–especially if he is now studying Mesechta Shabbos in the Daf Yomi!

Several members of the community have been contacted by the founder and organizer of the 2013 Parnassah Nationwide Expo. Per his request and aligned with the Kol Koreh of Moreinu Harav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler Shlit”a Rosh Yeshiva Beth Medrash Govoha (attached PDF). We would like to have a “Cleveland Booth”.

The primary focus of the booth would be to extoll the virtues of our community and educate attendees. In the age of telecommuting the opportunities with housing, our school systems and many other aspects make Cleveland an attractive option for many, especially those burdened with the higher cost of living on the East Coast.
We are seeking volunteers, that would be willing to “man the booth” representing the Greater Orthodox Community of Cleveland at the event.
