A special learning program sponsored by Chabad Women, a Farbrengen at Fromovitz Chabad Center with Rabbi Aharon Dovid Gancz, a women's farbrengen at the home of Esther Offenberg, a Chassidic Brotherhood farbrengen with Rabbi Aryeh Kaltman and even an impromptu trip to the Rebbe's Ohel and Shul.

ChabadCLE was blessed by the Teen Boys Club, recently named "Food 4 Thought", when they gathered at the shul to bind those holy siddurim and chumashim that are showing their age. 

 The boys, under the leadership of Dr. Yosef Porter and Reb Eli Shomer, learned the art and bound tens of our sefarim. Thanks guys!

Sunday, 10 Kislev 

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new social group for boys age 13 to 17. It will meet throughout the winter from 7:30 to 9:00 pm on Motzie Shabbos.

Fun, food, games and trips with a Torah inspiring approach. Eli Shomer, our friend from Cleveland Heights Zemach Zedek, leads the group.

The first meeting was this past Motzie Shabbos at the home of Dr and Mrs Porter and the boys raved (the parents too)! "it was amazing", said one. "It was so much fun", said another. 

Special thanks to the Porters and Reb Eli Shomer for creating this great opportunity.

Shabbos Parshas Vayeitzei, 9 Kislev 5781

Rabbi Shimon Warszawsky, our fearless niggun leader helped us to review the niggun of Reb Berl Masaiv of Kremenchuk. That city had a few chassidim  whose names were Ber, and they were called the Berelach of Krenchuk. Our Reb Berl (Masaiv) was known as an intense davener, so heartfelt were his prayers that it was not uncommon for people to become rooted to the spot upon hearing them. His intense prayers even led many Jews to change their ways completely, and become Baalei Teshuvah.
