Greater Cleveland
Congregations Update
On April 11th, 300 people
from Northeast Ohio,
including four from Park
Synagogue, and another
2000 from around the state,
participated in a huge rally
outside the Statehouse in
Columbus to urge lawmakers
to approve an expansion
of state Medicaid coverage. Park’s representatives, all
active members of the synagogue’s Greater Cleveland
Congregations (GCC) Core Team, included Judi Eigenfeld,
Nancy Hartman, Steve Perry, and Susan Reis, Co-Chair
of Park’s GCC group. The message the rally delivered came
loud and clear from a variety of viewpoints. Medicaid
Expansion was presented as morally right to help the most
vulnerable people in our state, fiscally smart to help hospitals
and medical providers, and economically important for
businesses across the state. Even though the appeal fell on
deaf ears, the many people in favor of Medicaid Expansion,
including the GCC, vowed to continue their fight to have the
expansion included in Ohio’s budget.

GCC is also working to expand education reforms in the
Cleveland Metropolitan School District; improve the Criminal
justice system by informing the community about the
changes in collateral sanctions due to recent legislation
enacted by Gov. Kasich and following up with promises
made by Tim McGinty, County Prosecutor; and look at issues
relating to racial profiling by the police and gun violence
reduction.
There are many ways for individuals to get involved in the
GCC and to make a difference in our community. Please

(mrw6@case.edu) to find out more about this important
community action organization.

“I Can Do It”
Jr. Kadima grades 3-5
How many times have we heard our children say “I want to
do it by myself”?
Pancakes & PJ's
And usually it’s when we are in a hurry and don’t have the
time or patience to wait around while a 3 year old tries to
zip up her own coat. The truth is, the children aren’t being
obstinate; they really do want to do it themselves. It is our
job as parents and teachers to foster independence and
allow the children to practice their self-help skills.
Sunday, May 19 • PSE

When I talk to kindergarten teachers
about what kids need to succeed, I don’t
hear about ABC’s and 123’s. I hear about
the ability to manage in a group, to be
able to take care of
their basic needs, and
the self confidence to
g try new things.

CH-UH 2013 School
Supplies Project
Park Synagogue Sisterhood is again partnering with the
Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District
to provide new school supplies to elementary school
children who cannot afford them. Because the need is
so great throughout the entire system, Sisterhood will
be aiding OXFORD, NOBLE, BOULEVARD, and FAIRFAX
elementary Schools. GEARITY, CANTERBURY and
ROXBORO also have some needs and the school social
sorkers will share with other buildings when needed.
With your help this year, we hope to start the school
year by providing school supplies to those many needy
students who cannot afford to buy them. Your help is
greatly appreciated. We have bins both at Park East
and at Park Main to accept the following supplies. All
items must be new and unused.
Questions? Contact Kerry Kertesz, at kkertesz@
