✔Step ONE: See the Vision. ✔Step TWO: Build the Reality. Step THREE: Bring it Home.

Our 2020 ONE VISION campaign has been an overwhelming success! We’re well into a bonus round, and we can’t thank everyone enough for partnering with us this week.

One of the greatest indicators of our success is the number of people who donated to this campaign. More than an amazing 1,850 donations have been made to our 2020 ONE VISION Charidy page and it’s still going strong. We are continuing our bonus round as we turn at long last to celebrate our Chanukas Habayis. You can still participate at www.charidy.com/hac.

It’s time for the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland to inaugurate our new home for Torah learning, our long-awaited Oakwood campus building! We dreamed it, you partnered with us, and now we’ll celebrate the Chanukas Habayis together, TODAY November 7th at 10 A.M.! We’re honored to inaugurate the Mendy and Ita Klein Campus, the Simon and Rose Mandel building by the Jack, Joseph & Morton Mandel Foundation, and the Eliyahu and Masha Knapp Early Childhood.

At 11 A.M., We’ll be dancing our way inside under the chuppah for the Hachnosas Sifrei Torah, hugging three sifrei Torah as warmly as we embrace our own children – after all, this beautiful campus we’ll celebrate has all been built for our children and our Torah. Don’t miss it, we look forward to dancing with you!

Please join us in person or via live stream at www.charidy.com/hac!

Clocks Change this Motzei Shabbos

Leave a Comment

Repost because once a year we can laugh at an old joke.

This weekend clocks are moved back one hour. While the official time to do this is 2am Sunday morning, you can just do it before you go to sleep; definitely before Sunday morning carpool.

Practically speaking, the change means that Sunday morning you gain one (measly) hour of sleep which you already used Motzei Shabbos staying up later. It also means that for the next four months you’ll practice subtracting an hour from the time on your car’s clock, and that darkness will fall an hour sooner but hey, we’re Cleveland, we’re used to not seeing the sun.

Joking aside, this change affects halachic zmanim. Please remember to pay attention to the new zmanim going forward.

Mazal Tov from Heights Hats!
