A Child Grows in Brooklyn

Cheeryos brings affordable, quality childcare to Crown Heights

It used to be that a man could earn a modest living while his wife stayed home and took care of the house and kids. But that arrangement is out of reach for so many. The days of a single income household are over, generally speaking. In a tough economy, average daycare tuition for a single child, let alone two or three, is such a burden that many parents choose to keep them home. The numbers don’t make sense to put them in daycare and get a second income. The cost of daycare outweighs the benefits of a second income. Many feel trapped. Even those that can find a babysitter or group are often at the mercy of an irregular schedule, less-than-ideal hours, and fluctuating costs. Many a mommy can relate to having a baby perched on their lap while attempting to work from home, or having to mute their phones on a call to avoid noise from

crying or videos meant to entertain. It’s challenging for the kids, tough on the parents, and it creates a stressful environment for the whole family Unfortunately, it’s a situation that is increasingly common in today’s world. That’s where Cheeryos comes in— because every parent deserves a chance to breathe. Cheeryos offers that relief From 9:00am to 5:00pm, parents will have peace of mind, knowing their child is being fed and cared for, and beyond that, is having a great day! Teachers will consistently update parents via the Brightwheel app, enabling them to check in at any point and see how their kid is doing. Cheeryos teaches shapes, colors, Parsha, Aleph Beis, along with an assortment of fun activities centered around Yomim Tovim and Yomei D’Pagra.

So, how does Cheeryos make this possible? Utilizing the ACS Voucher system, Cheeryos walks parents through the process of applying for vouchers that make daycare tuition almost entirely free of charge. For qualifying applicants, daycare will be fully covered, enabling parents to breathe a little easier. Now Mommy can focus on her career or other responsibilities without worry, and the financial tension in the family can be alleviated. Most importantly, their little ones will be watched and guided as they make new friends!

It’s time to start the best year for your family. Cheeryos is now enrolling children ages 0-3. Enroll today using the QR code, or visit cheeryos.com to check your ACS Voucher eligibility

Beyond Speech

Without Guilt, From Their Hearts

By Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz

In this week’s parsha, Vayakhel, we read about the participation of all the Jewish people, men and women, in donating to and construction of the Mishkan, the Tabernacle.

After the sin of the Golden Calf, G-d’s presence left the Jewish camp. The Mishkan was meant to be a dwelling place for His presence. G-d’s command to build the Mishkan was a clear indication that He forgave us.

The Torah tells us that women brought more than the men. But the fact is that they were not involved in the sin of the golden calf. Why were they so driven to be involved in its rectification?

Later, we had various Mishkans in Israel; and finally, the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. Now that we have neither Mishkan nor Temple, how do we merit G-d’s presence in our midst?

Today, one of the ways to do the mitzvah of building a Mishkan is by making our homes a dwelling place for G-d. Each and every one of us can be involved: men by keeping Torah study and prayer times; women by keeping a kosher home; and children by getting a Torah education. Since the mother is the backbone of the Jewish home—and she naturally understands the value of having G-d’s presence blessing her home—she sets out to design and manage her home in a way that it will create an environment for His presence.

Her family is influenced by her, her attitude, her insistence on Jewish atmosphere, and her ability to move her husband and children in the right direction. She knows intuitively that the future of Judaism rests in her hands.

Although the men gave to and were involved in the construction of the Mishkan, their involvement didn’t reach the level and enthusiasm that the women displayed. Why? While the men were obligated to give, the women were not. The men gave from a sense of obligation, but the women gave from their hearts. The men felt the burden of guilt of sin golden calf, while the women felt their connection to G-d, and yearned for His presence and closeness.

Every man, woman and child can now give of themselves from a place of love and closeness. In this way, every family can make their home into a Mishkan.

In this merit, Hashem will surely send Moshiach. May it happen soon!
