Q. What is Horav Miller’s Shlit’a opinion in regards to writing the name of the place in the kesuva, when the wedding is in the Bayt or the Terrace? Is it Vaughan or Thornhill? What is the correct spelling?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that on weddings performed at the Beth Avraham Yoseph congregation (Bayt) the location’s name written in the kesuva should be Thornhill, spelled טארנהיל. At the Terrace Banquet Centre the name should be Vaughan, spelled װאן preferable without a ה. After both names one should add הסמוכה לטאראנטא (Adjacent to Toronto).
Although both locations are basically in the same area, the Bayt, which is closer to Toronto, was built first, and acquired and established at least until the present time the Thornhill name, by the common use of it by the members of the community.
