2 I The Inside Story

Dear Valued Employees, A couple of years back, we had the honor of hosting New York Governor David Paterson here at the hub. As you’ll read in this newsletter, the Governor got a glimpse of the incredible work we do here at Hamaspik.

But what he saw in those few hours is what you do every single minute of every day. The care, the dedication, the life-changing moments that’s your daily reality.

Keep doing what you’re doing. Every minute you’re here, you’re making a difference. Every interaction, every act of kindness, every moment of care - that’s the real Hamaspik that the Governor experienced during his visit.

Thank you for being the heart of everything we do, minute by minute, day by day.

Wishing you a happy and healthy summer!

Mr. Freund; Executive Director

Office Hacks Work smarter, not harder

Save Time with Email Batching Email was invented to save time, not consume your entire existence.

Oh, the irony.

Constantly checking emails hijacks productivity, wasting 28% of your workday and causing tasks to take 50% longer due to switching costs.

The Solution? Check emails only 2-3 times daily.

1. Turn off notifications - you can’t be tempted by what you don’t see.

2. Schedule specific times - try 3 20-minute sessions (10am, 1, & 4pm).

3. Create three folders: - “Action” – needs response - “Reading” – review later - “Waiting” – awaiting replies

4. Use time-sensitive labels: - “Today” (red) - “This week” (orange) Benefits: Fewer distractions, faster processing, reduced stress, and deeper focus on important work.

Remember: Treat your inbox like a refrigerator: check it a few times daily, toss the old stuff, and don’t stare at it hoping something new appears.

! Then & Wow! The history of Hamaspik

Governor Paterson Visits Hamaspik A couple of years ago in January, 20210, New York Governor David Paterson visited Hamaspik Rockland, delivering an inspiring message that celebrated the organization’s mission and growth.

“I can’t thank you enough,” declared New York Governor David Paterson as he stood before a captivated audience at Hamaspik Rockland. The Governor had defied a snowstorm and traffic jams to personally honor the organization that transforms lives daily.

Staff arrived as early as 7:00 AM to prepare Hamaspik Terrace, the social hall at the main office on Route 59 in Monsey.

By 8:30 AM, the hall was buzzing with Hamaspik staff from Rockland, Orange, and Kings Counties, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.

The breakfast brought together many important people, including Rockland County Legislators Alden Wolfe, Philip Soskin, and Ilan Schoenberger; Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmine; and several school board members.

Individuals were given special flags to wave when the Governor arrived.

When Governor Paterson arrived, the crowd greeted him with enthusiastic applause. In his heartfelt speech, the Governor had many encouraging words for Hamaspik’s staff.

“What better job would there be than the service and care of others?” the Governor asked. He praised Hamaspik’s growth 7 I The Inside Story

from a single facility in 1987 to a network spanning 12 New York counties, calling it “incredible development in a short period of time.”

Speaking as the state’s first legally blind governor, Paterson connected personally with Hamaspik’s mission: “If I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to be mainstreamed into public education but at the same time have organizations that could help me with my special needs, I wouldn’t be standing here as governor—I don’t know if I would even be employed.”

The Governor committed to expanding Hamaspik’s model of care across the state, saying: “I can’t thank you enough” for the work Hamaspik does.

For Hamaspik employees, the Governor’s visit was more than just a political event—it was recognition of their daily dedication to improving lives and building a more inclusive community.

One word won the war

It was ten degrees outside. The cold knifed through their summer uniforms. It settled on their frozen grief of their hundreds of fallen comrades. Hope was as scarce as warmth. Letters from home were read until they fell apart.

Snow masked the Belgian countryside. 18,000 American soldiers huddled in their holes. It was futile. Like children trying to cover with an all-too-small blanket - whichever way they pull, one limb always stays exposed.

They were outnumbered by the 45,000 German troops in Bastogne. The situation looked grim.

Men in German uniforms approached with “quit now” orders, convinced the Americans, with

fewer soldiers, would surrender easily.

General Anthony McAuliffe read the German demand and uttered a single word in response: “Nuts!”

This American slang—meaning “absolutely not”—threw the German commanders into confusion.

Their translators scratched their heads, wondering if the American general was offering them food or had simply lost his mind.

The Germans were so baffled that they sent another message asking if that was a yes or a no. By the time McAuliffe clarified that it was definitely a “no,” precious hours had passed, allowing Allied reinforcements to come closer.

The siege ended days later with an American victory—all because of one untranslatable word.

“A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition,” — Noam Chomsk, renowned linguist and philosopher said. So much of what we speak is the nuance behind the words.

Pepsi brings your

ancestors back

When Pepsi launched their famous “Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation” campaign in Taiwan, they were horrified to discover that in Chinese, their slogan translated as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.”

Rather than positioning their soft drink as refreshing and energizing, the translation inadvertently suggested that Pepsi had supernatural powers. This translation blunder gave Taiwanese consumers a shock, and it certainly made their marketing campaign memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Similarly, the Mercedes-Benz company was bewildered why their cars weren’t selling in China. The company decided to use the name “Bensi” for their Chinese operations, not realizing that in

Chinese, this translates roughly to “rush to die.” Unsurprisingly, Chinese consumers weren’t eager to buy cars from a company whose name suggested a fatal outcome. Mercedes had to undergo a rebranding before their sales picked up in the region.

Untranslatable but universal

Hamaspik employees feel that certain Yiddish expressions, like ‘taka,’ ‘dreicup,’ and ‘nisht mer gedacht,’ deserve English translations that reflect their figurative meaning, since the literal ones don’t quite capture their emotional impact.

Both words convey familiar situations that lack a single expressive term in English.

Inventing language to fit our lives

Since existing dictionaries don’t always reflect their reality, some—teenagers in particular—have crafted their own words to describe familiar situations. Below are some of the clever, made-up words they’ve coined to express the unspoken truths of everyday life.

Some of these coined terms are about experiences that feel universal yet oddly hard to describe. Like destinesia, that weird moment when you walk into a room and can’t remember why you went there in the first place.

Or the dullema, when you’re stuck choosing between two equally boring options.

For teens—and really for all — these playful inventions aren’t just funny; they’re a way to name the nuanced, often absurd bits of daily life. Language, after all, evolves with us.

Jargon Jungle

Office workers often find themselves in amusing situations when everyday office jargon is scrutinized and revealed to be overused.

A marketing team in Chicago had a new director who loved to end every meeting with, “I’ll circle back with you on this.” After three months, the team realized not a single “circle back” had ever happened. They began keeping a wall chart tracking promised “circle backs” (which reached 74) versus actual follow-ups (zero). When they finally confronted him with their data visualization, he replied, “Let me circle back to you on that,” and walked away. He was fired two weeks later.

Similarly, at a pharmaceutical company, a manager told her team to “socialize the deliverables with the key stakeholders before EOD.” The team nodded with-

The misunderstanding resulted in confidential medical research being accidentally emailed to hundreds of random people. Three employees were fired, and the company faced a $2 million compliance penalty.

At Hamaspik, six languages——fill the air, each carrying culture, humor, and heart.

While misunderstandings happen, language here isn’t a barrier—it’s a bridge. We help each other communicate, laugh through confusion, and connect across differences, because understanding one another matters more than perfect words.

Elky Fekete HCBS coordinator

Let’s start with the basics - what exactly does HCBS stand for, and what makes a family eligible for these services?

HCBS stands for Home and Community-Based Services. It’s for families of children with medical or behavioral issues by providing support services like respite care and parent training. These services help parents learn skills to care for their child and connect to other helpful resources in their community.

And you’ve been with Hamaspik for two years now as an HCBS coordinator. When people ask what you do, how do you describe it?

(laughs) I laugh when people ask me that because ‘service coordinator’ doesn’t begin to cover it. At the heart of everything is one simple and powerful thing: caring. It’s so much more than paperwork, checklists, and regulations – it’s about showing up for families with compassion.

When someone reaches out to me, they’re often at their lowest point, and I want them to feel seen, heard, and supported.

14 I The Inside Story

That’s beautiful. It sounds like you see your role as extending beyond the job description.

“Absolutely! Yes, I have to handle the paperwork, but it’s about stepping outside those boundaries when families need me.

Walk me through what a typical day looks like for you.

Well, I technically work from 10 to 3, but I feel like I’m working 9 to 5. I try to be proactive with everything. First thing each morning, I check emails and return any missed calls from parents – there can be quite a few! If I know I’ll be tied up in meetings and can’t get back to someone immediately, I make sure to call them and let them know my plan, so they never feel forgotten.

That must create quite a bit of stress at times.

It can, but what makes all the difference is that I’m backed by a team that lives and breathes the same values. My supervisor, Gitty Kalkstein, is amazing. We all work together even though we handle different responsibilities, and there’s this mutual respect that makes everything possible.

The Staff Room Employee Spotlight

What gives you the most satisfaction in your work?

It’s really about helping families beyond what’s in my job description. Like when we managed to get a new appliance for a family who desperately needed it. Or – I remember being on the phone at 9:30 PM during bedikas chometz, arranging for funds to be put into an individual’s account so they can properly celebrate Yom Tov. Also, setting up families with therapy and providers and having them thank me later on how satisfied they are! When you have a good team, anything can get done. Even on our shortest days, we accomplish so much.

Wow! Now, what about the flip side – what challenges do you face?

The DOH regulations create real limits on how I can support families. The guidelines don’t capture the full spectrum of what families often need. I wish we could offer more help—it would make such a difference.

That sounds incredibly frustrating. How do you handle those limitations?

I lean on my amazing team. We strictly follow HIPAA guidelines, of course, but being able to talk with my supervisor about situations where my hands are tied makes a huge difference.

Sometimes just expressing those frustrations helps me feel better and keeps me going.

Fun Facts

I’m the proud mom of 10-year-old twin girls who look so different, you wouldn’t even guess they’re related.

Confession: I get secretly excited when it snows enough for school to be canceled and my kids get a day off!

Has there been a particular family whose story especially touched you?

My first family will always stay with me. It was a CPS case where neighbors had called the authorities. They were an adorable family in the community – the mother looked great, but her children were malnourished. She believed deeply in ‘healthy food’ but was giving them minimal amounts. I invited her in for a meeting and acknowledged her maternal intuition while gently explaining the situation. She was refusing help initially, but I managed to connect with her.

That sounds like such a delicate situation. How did it turn out?

Her kids got the help they needed, and she evolved in her approach. She’s still health-minded, but she opened to the idea that if children aren’t meeting milestones, we need to question

The Inside Story I

15

The Staff Room Employee Spotlight

why – sometimes that means more calorie-dense foods. Her next baby wasn’t malnourished, and all the kids look healthier now. For a while, she wouldn’t let anyone into her home, but they’ve all made tremendous progress.

It must be rewarding to see that kind of transformation. Did that affect you personally?

Intensely. I cared so much for them – they were constantly on my mind, even after work hours.

They were lucky to have you. In the midst of such serious work, have there been moments of humor?

(laughs) Absolutely! It seems deadlines have a mysterious habit of appearing on Erev Yom Tov. Last Erev Shavuos, we were all so stressed with last-minute requirements that we just couldn’t stop laughing. Those moments of shared stress somehow become the funniest.

What advice would you give someone considering this career path?

This work isn’t for everyone. You have to be a genuinely caring person and also a doer – someone willing to try delivering the impossible. You might be ready for the paperwork aspect, but if you don’t have that deeply caring nature, this role probably isn’t for you.

16 I The Inside Story

Friday is sacred challah-baking time with my kiddos – I’ve even earned the title “Challah Queen” among my friends.

My secret productivity hack: I always pretend the real deadline is a day earlier than it is.

Makes sense! Is there a saying or quote that guides your approach to life and work?

It might sound cliché, but I tell my kids this every day: ‘Today is a good day to have a good day.’ When you think positively, things tend to work out better.

Any final thoughts you’d like to share?

I just want to emphasize that I’m able to give this level of care because I’m backed by an incredible team that shares these values. From my supervisor to my co-workers and the QA team, we support each other so we can fully support our families. When you have a strong team beside you, there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished, no matter how busy we all are.

Thank you for your time, your genuine passion for helping families is truly inspiring!

Just before Pesach, disaster struck. A desperate mother called Rivka Schwartz—her child’s vital HCBS support services had terminated without warning. “I need this help,” the mother was nervous, frustration clear in her voice. Rivka sprang into action, hitting walls at every turn. The provider agency shrugged helplessly.

Supervisors ignored her. The Department of Health bounced her between bureaucrats like a pinball. But Rivka refused to quit. Call after call. Email after email. Finally— breakthrough! The DOH conceded and restored the child’s services just as Pesach began.

The mother’s relief was palpable. But Rivka’s victory rippled beyond one family—her relentless advocacy created a pathway for countless other families facing the same crisis. #StandingUpForFamilies #NeverQuit

While rushing down the Comfort Health stairs on an important call, Dr. Alan Blau spotted a woman struggling to carry her stroller and bags up the narrow staircase. Immediately, he told the caller, “I need to go for a quick minute,” and turned back to help. After carrying the stroller up, Dr. Blau noticed she was headed toward the Hamaspik wing, which meant another set of stairs. Without hesitation, he guided her down the hallway and carried her stroller up the second staircase too. Only when she and all her belongings were safely at her destination did Dr. Blau return to his important call. Such remarkable humility and kindness in action! #DoctorWithAHeart #HeartOfGold

During a visit with a 14-year-old individual from my caseload, he expressed his desire to learn English fluently. Having missed early education opportunities, he felt left behind.

When his father explained they couldn’t afford a private tutor, I offered to connect him with resources. I contacted my colleague Dovid Mueller, an experienced English teacher, to explain the situation. His response was immediate and generous—he promptly emailed a collection of beginner materials, including the same worksheets he uses with his own students. Mr. Mueller went above and beyond by sharing a special alphabet PDF featuring Hebrew Nekudos, designed specifically to make learning letter sounds easier. This valuable resource is typically reserved exclusively for his tutoring business. Thanks to his selfless support, I am confident that this individual will achieve success. #EducationForAll #ThanksMrMueller
