HJC Shavuos Schedule - Important Announcement

According to many poskim, whose names are available upon request, the custom of waiting until dark on the night of Shavuos only applies to making Kiddush, not davening Maariv.  Accordingly, we will be davening Maariv right after sunset (8:45pm) tonight.  People can then head home and choose to make kiddush after dark, beginning their meal then.  Men should remember to repeat Krias Shema after dark.

Imagine trying to do something nice for some birds and as a result 800,000 people die every year!

The Eruv

The Cleveland Eruv is kosher.  Period.

Yevomos, Parshas Behar, Ruth and Shavuos

random thoughts:

 

Inheritance, Yibum, land and marriage are all intertwined themes.  SeferRus brings them all together. 

 

More about this on Shavuos in Shul.

 

 

Patent Law, or reinventing the wheel

If I was interested in spending tens or thousands of dollars to create a new thing, I would want to make sure that the thing did not already exist.  Why bother spending millions to invent a wheel, or develop a bread-slicing machine when I could purchase one for a couple hundred dollars?
