DETROIT, Michigan [CHI] — This past Wednesday, Chof Vav Iyar, hundreds of men, woman and children, Rabonim, Anash, Shluchim, Bochurim and Baalei Batim gathered together for a beautiful evening commemorating the “Shnas Hakhel Siyum Harambam” in Detroit, Michigan.
It is with sadness and deep pain we inform you of the tragic and extremely untimely passing of a young Shliach, Meir Shlomo (Shloima’le) Zaltzman OBM, at the mere age of 7-months-old, son of Rabbi Mendel and Chanie (nee Matusof) Zaltzman who are the directors of the JRCC of Yonge & Clark in Toronto, Canada.
Shloima’le is the grandchild of Rabbi Yoseph Y. and Chiena Zaltzman, who are the directors of the Jewish Russian Community Center of Toronto.

“For those that have lost a loved one, Dear L-rd, please be everything that they can no longer be,” said the chaplain.
At that moment, two years ago, the war stopped for these Marines. It was for a rare chance to grieve. But it was just a moment. The Marines wiped their tears, got up and went back to work.

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Monday, May 25 for the observance of Memorial Day. Because Memorial 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”).
