Q. What is Horav Miller’s opinion in regards to writing:
1) Haverstraw (NY) in hebrew for kesuva purposes?
2) Mount Ivy, (NY.) in a Kesuva?
3) What do you write in the Embassy Grand at Brampton On?

A. 1) Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the Ashkenassi spelling is: ×”Ã—Ã—”¢Ã—”¢Ã—¢Ã—¨Ã—¡Ã—˜×¨Ã—
with a first alef since the first “a” in Haverstraw is pronounced with an accent.
Whether you also include: ×”Ã—¡Ã—ž×”¢Ã—”ºÃ—” למא× סׄ¢
depends on the geography of the city, local Rabbonim should be consulted.
2) that the correct Ashkenassi spelling is; מא×”¢Ã— ט אׄ¢Ã—„¢Ã—”¢Ã—”¢Ã—„¢
3) In the Embassy Grand the Ashkenassi spelling of the site’s name in a kesuva should be:
×”˜Ã—¨Ã—Ã—ž×¤Ã—˜×Ã—Ÿ ×”Ã—¡Ã—ž×”¢Ã—”ºÃ—” לטארא× טא
(See question 1204 in regards to the names used at the Bayt and the Terrace Banquet Centre in the Toronto area).
