New Baltimore Yeshiva gets New Home

The New Baltimore Yeshiva gets a new home. The new Baltimore Yeshiva has agreed on terms for a lease @ Congregation Ohr Hamizrach on the corner of Fallstaff & Park Heights Ave’s.  There are four main classrooms that will be dedicated to school use as well as other muti-purpose space in the building when necessary. The rooms have large windows on the Fallstaff side of the building and on the Tzemach Tzedek side, which makes the rooms very bright and sunny. They also have their own separate thermostat controls for each room.
 
The New Baltimore Yeshiva is very excited about an in-town location which will mean the students do not have a long commute for morning davening and similarly, for most boys, they will be some 5 minutes from home at the end of the day.
 
We will arrange a tour or Open House at some point in the near future so that all the parents can see the classrooms, or you can take a peek on Shabbos when the Shul is open. The classrooms are located in the front of the building on the second floor.

Owings Mills JCC will no longer have chlorinated indoor pool

There is good news and bad news, let have the good news first. The good news is that as of September 7th  the Owings Mills JCC will have a new salinated water cleaning system for the indoor pool.

If you are new to the idea of disinfecting a pool with plain old “salt,” then here is some information to get you up-to-date:

· A salt water system in your pool or hot tub works by creating its own chlorine. How does this happen? An electric current is passed through salt water in a chlorinator cell. Basically, a chlorinator cell splits the salt into sodium and chloride. It then releases a chlorine gas that dissolves in the water. It is through this process that the water in a saline pool is sterilized.

· Saline not only sterilizes the water, it prevents the growth of algae.

· Saline pools are environmentally friendly – no chemicals.

· Saline is much easier on your eyes than chlorine. You might have assumed that saline would sting your eyes like the salty ocean does. In truth, though, the ocean has a much higher percentage of salt. Saline has very little salt in comparison.

· People who have reactions to chlorinated pools are generally reacting not to the chlorine but to other chemicals and by-products. They generally do not have a problem swimming in a saline pool — it is much less irritating on your skin.

Now for the bad news, in order to install this system the Owings Mills JCC Indoor Pool will be closed from Monday August 17th – Wednesday September 7th. The outdoor pools wil remain open during this time.
