Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended on Thanksgiving Day

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Thursday, November 27 for the observance of Thanksgiving Day. Because Thanksgiving Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended. On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect 7 days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”).

The Friday after Thanksgiving, November 28, is not a holiday, and alternate side parking regulations, parking meter rules, and all other parking regulations will be in effect. .

Workmen's Circle building on S.
Green Road will soon be Friendship
Circle's home.
The soon-to-be-completed $300,000 sale of the Workmen's Circle building on Green Road in South Euclid to the Chabad House of Cleveland's Friendship Circle promises to be a square deal for both parties.

“Our philosophies regarding children are very similar,” says Friendship Circle director Rabbi Yossi Marozov (Orthodox). “Both organizations (one religious, one cultural) are interested in preserving Jewish values and strengthening children's connection to Judaism.”

An article in the Nov. 11 Plain Dealer quoted a retired Seton Hall University professor as saying the business deal with Chabad's Friendship Circle “sounds like Workmen's Circle made a pact with the enemy,” a statement Marozov strongly refutes.

Minivan Broken Into on Carroll St

On Monday night at around 4:00am Shomrim received a call that a minivan had been broken into on Carroll St between Kingston and Albany. Shomrim members that live on the block went to check it out and spotted a Black male wandering around looking into cars. Members followed him for a little while and after he made no attempt at breaking into a car they left him.

The minivan which obviously belongs to a yiddisher family had its driver window busted in, unlike any of the recent car break-ins we have been seeing, and the contents of the glove box was scattered all over the front.

On Monday, November 20, 2006, over 100 mashgichim and rabbinic coordinators convened for OK Kosher Certifications’ 8th Annual Mashgichim Conference – a day of learning and professional development. The rabbis represented thousands of manufacturing facilities and 250,000 kosher certified products. An exciting day of conferencing, in a private hall in the heart of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY, was capped off with a delicious lunch, catered by OK supervised Crown Heights Bunch-O-Bagels and More.

The conference, once again magnificently coordinated by OK Rabbinic Coordinator Rabbi Chaim Fogelman and Dina Orron, was designed to provide the mashgichim with important and enlightening kashrus related information, in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Indeed, the Mashgichim, coming from as far as Australia, Israel, Thailand, Venezuela and Belgium including all of our USA representatives, delighted in each other’s company and bonded as if one family.
