Q: Do I have to wash my hands after shaving?
A: Rav Avrohom Chaim Agishtein responds:
The Shulchan Aruch Oh"c 4:19 writes that a person should wash their hands after a haircut because of רוח רעה. It is said over in the name of Rav Moshe Feinstein (Divrei Chachamim 1:8) and Rav Shlomo Z. Auerbach (Halichos Shlomo 2:10), that this only applies to one who is cutting the hair of their head. One who is shaving their beard or removing any other body hair would not have to wash their hands afterward.
Federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) Significant Changes
- Applications are due to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) by 5:00 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
- This year, the DHS will be releasing a second round of the 2024 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) in light of heightened security threats. This round will distribute $210 million nationally.
- This Fall Supplemental grant will prioritize applicants who prove they have been at elevated risk as a consequence of the Israel-Hamas conflict. For information regarding the Israel-Hamas multiplier, please look under "Additional Review Points" in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) here.
- In addition, this application round allows one organization to act as a lead and apply on behalf of other organizations. Consortium Applications may be prioritized for funding. For more information, please look under "Consortium Applications" in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) here.

Yahalom Mother's Walking Track
Yahalom Chicago hosted the 2nd "Walk With Us" event last Tuesday night at the Robert Crown Community Center. Mothers of children with special needs spent time together while walking on the Robert Crown indoor track discussing common concerns, situations, and solutions regarding their children with special needs. They continued the conversation in a private room next to the track with snacks and a sense of community.
