LETTER EDITOR from the

As we approach Sukkos this year, our hearts are heavy with the memories of the tragic events that unfolded last Simchas Torah. The loss of over 1,400 Yidden in the horrific terror attack still resonates deeply within our community, and the ongoing war in Israel reminds us of the challenges our people face. In light of these recent events, we gather in our sukkahs not just to celebrate, but to remember and to draw strength from our faith and our shared heritage.

The sukkah itself is a diras arai, a temporary dwelling that reminds us of the fragility of life and the transient nature of our existence. Just as our ancestors dwelled in the sukkahs during their journey through the wilderness, we too must recognize that we are here for a limited time, tasked with doing good, performing mitzvos, and spreading kindness wherever we go. Sukkos teaches us to appreciate the moments we have and the connections we build.

As we sit in our sukkahs, surrounded by family and friends, we invite Hashem’s presence into our midst. We pray for Him to envelop us in His protective light, granting us the blessings of holiness, joy, and peace. We recognize that the walls of our sukkah symbolize not just physical protection, but also the spiritual shelter we seek in these challenging times. May these walls remind us of the love and support within our communities, even as we face uncertainty outside.

This year, as we wave the dalet minim—the lulav, hadas, aravah, and etrog—we are reminded of the beauty of diversity within our people. Each of the Four Species represents different aspects of our community, coming together to form a complete picture of Klal Yisrael. Just as we shake the dalet minim in all directions, we beseech Hashem to bring us home to Jerusalem, uniting us as one nation under His guidance. Though we may feel like the black sheep among the nations in Galus, we must always remember that we are the Am HaNivchar, the chosen

people, and our resilience is our strength.

In our sukkahs, we gather to share meals, stories, and laughter, creating a sanctuary of warmth and connection. Let us enter this holy Yom Tov with joy in our hearts. As we prepare to celebrate Simchas Torah, let us resolve to dance with extra simcha, allowing that joy to uplift our spirits. With simcha, we can accomplish great things and transform our gatherings into celebrations of love and unity.

Sukkos is also a time for gratitude. As we reflect on the blessings we have, we recognize the strength and support of our community. We’ve seen incredible acts of kindness and solidarity in recent weeks, reminding us of the deep bonds we share. Whether it's helping a neighbor in need or rallying together to support those facing hardship, our collective spirit shines brightly even in the face of adversity.

May this Sukkos serve as a reminder of our faith and hope. Let us pray for the safety and peace of all Yidden, both in Israel and around the world. May Hashem bless us with a swift return to Jerusalem, where we can once again gather in joy and celebration, free from fear and strife. As we shake the dalet minim and sing songs of joy, let us carry our prayers upward, believing that our collective simcha will bring about a brighter future.

As we sit together in our sukkahs, let us hold each other close and commit to nurturing our community, ensuring that no one feels alone. May our gatherings be filled with warmth, joy, and a renewed commitment to one another.

Wishing everyone a beautiful and uplifting Chag Kosher v'Sameach!

SUKKOS

As we approach Sukkos, the joyous Festival of Sukkos, we find ourselves stepping into a world filled with warmth, gratitude, and connection. The Sukkah, our temporary dwelling, serves as a powerful reminder of the divine shelter that Hashem provides us. It invites us to reflect on our spiritual journey and the importance of community and unity.

The Meaning of the Sukkah

The Sukkah is not just a structure made of branches and leaves; it symbolizes our trust in Hashem’s protection. The Torah commands us to dwell in Sukkot for seven days, reminding us of how our ancestors lived in the wilderness, under the protective clouds of glory. Chassidic teachings tell us that the Sukkah is like a warm hug from the Almighty, sheltering us from the elements and reminding us of His constant presence in our lives.

The walls of the Sukkah may be temporary, but the message is everlasting. As we sit under the schach, the natural roofing of the Sukkah, we’re encouraged to gaze up at the stars and remember that Hashem is always watching over us. The simplicity of the Sukkah teaches us to appreciate life’s transient moments and to find joy in our connection to the Divine.

The Daled Minim: A Lesson in Unity

During Sukkos, we also engage in the mitzvah of the Daled Minim: the lulav, esrog, hadass, and aravah. Each represents different aspects of our community. The esrog, with its beautiful taste and fragrant aroma, symbolizes the heart, while the lulav stands tall, representing our spine and strength. The hadassim, with their pleasant fragrance, signify our eyes—our ability to see beauty in the world—and the aravos represent our lips, reminding us of the importance of speech and communication. When we hold the Daled Minim together and shake them, we are reminded of the unity within Klal Yisrael. Each species is unique, yet together they form a complete picture, demonstrating how diverse qualities can harmonize to create strength. This is especially important during Sukkos, as we gather in our Sukkot to celebrate as one community, transcending individual differences.

In a world that often highlights divisions, Sukkos stands as a beacon of unity. The act of shaking the lulav in all directions symbolizes our desire for peace and harmony not just within our own communities, but across the entire Jewish people and the world.

A Heartwarming Story

Allow me to share a story that beautifully illustrates these themes of connection, community, and the true spirit of Sukkos. In a small village nestled in the hills, there lived a chassid named Yankel. He was known for his kind heart and generosity, always the first to lend a helping hand to those in need. Every year, as Sukkos approached, Yankel would eagerly prepare for the yom tov. He would gather materials to build his Sukkah and adorn it with beautiful fruits, flowers, and colorful decorations. However, one year, as the yom tov drew near, Yankel faced unexpected hardships. His crops had failed due to a harsh drought, and he found himself struggling to make ends meet. Despite his difficulties, Yankel was determined to fulfill the mitzvah of Sukkah. With whatever little money

he had left, he managed to gather just enough materials to construct a small, simple Sukkah.

On the first night of Sukkos, he sat inside his humble Sukkah, feeling a sense of emptiness as he listened to the sounds of celebration coming from his neighbors’ grand Sukkot. They were filled with simcha, singing, and the delightful aroma of festive meals. Yankel couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, wondering how he could possibly celebrate with so little to offer.

Yet, as he recited the blessings and began to eat his meager meal, he remembered the words of his Rebbe: “True joy is found in sharing with others.” Inspired by this thought, he decided to invite his neighbors over for a meal. Although he had little to serve, he believed that the warmth of community would bring simcha to his heart.

As news spread about Yankel’s invitation, neighbors came pouring in, each bringing a dish to share. The Sukkah quickly transformed from a simple space into a vibrant hub of joy. Simcha filled the air as they sang and shared stories, transforming Yankel’s little Sukkah into a gathering place of happiness.

As the evening progressed, a wealthy man from the village, who had initially been passing by, heard the music and joy emanating from Yankel’s Sukkah. Intrigued, he decided to join. Upon entering, he was struck by the genuine warmth and camaraderie that filled the space. The guests were sharing stories, singing songs, and celebrating together, regardless of the modest setting.

Moved by the spirit of togetherness, the wealthy man offered to help Yankel and his family throughout the year. He pledged to provide assistance in rebuilding his farm and even suggested ways to enhance Yankel’s Sukkah for future celebrations. From that night on, Yankel’s Sukkah became a beloved gathering place for the community. People from all walks of life came together to share in the joy of the yom tov, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. Yankel learned that the true essence of Sukkos is not found in the grandeur of a large structure but in the simcha and warmth shared with friends and neighbors.

The Spiritual Takeaway

As we gather in our Sukkot this year, let us take a lesson from Yankel. Sukkos teaches us that our real security and simcha come not from material abundance but from our faith and our connections to one another.

We are called to open our hearts and homes, inviting friends, family, and even strangers to join in our celebrations. Every Sukkah, no matter how grand or humble, can become a sanctuary of warmth and unity. It’s in these moments of sharing that we truly fulfill the spirit of the yom tov.

May we all strive to create Sukkot filled with warmth, simcha, and connection, where everyone feels welcomed and valued. Let us embrace the teachings of the Daled Minim, recognizing our unique contributions to the community and celebrating the beauty of our differences.

Wishing you all a joyous and meaningful Sukkos, filled with the light of the Shechinah and the blessings of community. Chag Sameach!

Reb Nachman of Breslov

Born: 1772 – Died: 1810

(Yahrzeit: 18 Tishrei)

As the festive days of Sukkos approach, we are enveloped in the warmth of family, friends, and tradition. Sukkos is not just a holiday; it’s a time for joy, gratitude, and connection to Hashem and each other. This year, let us draw inspiration from two towering figures of our tradition: Reb Nachman of Breslov and Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. Their teachings resonate deeply, guiding us in our celebrations and enriching our lives.

Reb Nachman of Breslov: The Joyful Heart Reb Nachman of Breslov, a beacon of light and joy, taught that happiness is an essential part of our spiritual journey. Despite facing his own trials, he emerged with a profound message: joy is a divine gift that can uplift our souls and those around us. His teachings remind us that every moment holds the potential for joy, especially during the joyous festival of Sukkos.

The Teachings of Joy

At the heart of Reb Nachman's philosophy lies the understanding that joy is not merely a fleeting emotion but a deep connection to the Almighty. He taught, “The greatest joy is to serve God with a full heart.” This message resonates beautifully during Sukkos, as we fulfill the mitzvos of the holiday with our family and community.

The Sukkah, with its open roof, symbolizes our trust in Hashem’s protection. Reb Nachman

encouraged us to find joy even in challenging times, teaching that every difficulty can bring us closer to the light of joy.

Story Highlight:

The Joy of the Sukkah

One Sukkos, a chassid named David approached Reb Nachman, feeling overwhelmed by personal struggles and financial worries. Sensing his distress, Reb Nachman invited him to the Sukkah for a gathering.

As David stepped into the beautifully adorned Sukkah, he was greeted by laughter, singing, and the sweet aroma of traditional foods. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and he couldn’t help but smile. Reb Nachman shared stories filled with humor and wisdom, encouraging everyone to find the spark of joy within themselves.

By the end of the evening, he left the Sukkah with a renewed spirit, understanding that he was never alone in his struggles.

The Importance of Community Reb Nachman emphasized that joy multiplies when shared. He taught that Sukkos is a time to gather, celebrate, and support one another. When we come together, we create a space where joy can flourish.

Story Highlight: A Sukkot Miracle

One year, as Sukkos approached, Shimon, a devoted Breslov chassid, found himself in a difficult financial situation. Despite this, he resolved to invite friends over for a small celebration. When neighbors learned of his plans, they rallied together to help. They brought materials for a Sukkah, decorated it, and prepared festive meals.

On the first night of Sukkos, Shimon's home became a center of joy and connection. The Sukkah was filled with laughter and warmth, reminding everyone of the power of community. That evening, a kind-hearted benefactor, moved by the spirit of the gathering, offered Shimon a job that transformed his situation. This miracle was a testament to the blessings that arise when we open our hearts to others.

Vibes of Greatness

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

Born: 1808 – Died: 1888 (Yahrzeit: 13

In contrast, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch was a giant who bridged the worlds of tradition and modernity. He lived in a time of great change, advocating for a vibrant Jewish life that engaged with contemporary society while remaining true to our values. His teachings remind us that our traditions are not relics of the past but living principles that can guide us in today’s world.

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch: The Harmonizer of Tradition and Modernity

Sukkot: A Festival of Unity Rabbi Hirsch viewed Sukkot as a time for unity and celebration. He believed that this holiday should bring together Jews from all walks of life, creating a community that thrives on diversity and mutual respect. The Sukkah, with its open sides, symbolizes our shared experiences and the need for connection.

Rabbi Hirsch taught that the true joy of Sukkot comes from recognizing our interconnectedness. It is a time to gather under the Sukkah and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a community.

Story Highlight: A Sukkah of Unity

Rabbi Hirsch once organized a Sukkot gathering in his community, inviting individuals from various backgrounds—Orthodox, secular,

and everything in between. He understood that a strong community is built on dialogue and understanding. As they gathered, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. One young woman, feeling a bit shy, shared her story of moving to the community and the challenges she faced. Her honesty sparked a heartfelt

discussion, with others sharing their own journeys.

This gathering became a defining moment for the community, fostering bonds that lasted beyond Sukkot. Rabbi Hirsch’s vision of inclusivity and unity came to life, reminding all present that Sukkot is not just about individual joy, but about creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

Tishrei)

A Lesson in Practicality

Rabbi Hirsch emphasized applying our Jewish values in everyday life. He taught that Sukkot should extend beyond our own homes, encouraging families to invite neighbors, especially those who might feel alone, to join in the festivities.

Story Highlight:

Lessons from the Lulav One Sukkot, Rabbi Hirsch gathered local children to teach them about the Four Species—the lulav, esrog, hadass, and aravah. As they waved the lulav and esrog together, he explained that these symbols represent the diversity within the Jewish people, each unique yet part of a greater whole.

Inspired by this lesson, the children decided to build their own Sukkah in the neighborhood, inviting friends from different backgrounds to celebrate together. As they worked, they shared stories and laughter, learning that Sukkot is not just about fulfilling mitzvot but about building connections.

On the first night of Sukkot, their Sukkah was alive with joy. They learned valuable lessons about friendship, inclusivity, and the beauty of shared experiences, all under the stars in their Sukkah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAYDATES

Recently, I overheard two four-year-old girls leaving their nursery school class room. They seemed comfortable with each other and were holding hands as they exited the classroom.

“Do you want to come to my house?” Miriam asked Yocheved while they waited for their mothers to pick them up.

“Yep, I do. But, I have to ask my mommy,” Yocheved replied, struggling to zip up her coat.

“Okay. I will ask my mommy also. I think she’ll say yes,” Miriam confidently said.

“Me too. What kinds of dolls do you have at home?” Yocheved asked with a smile.

The two girls continued to chat about dolls and games until their carpools came and they parted ways.

It was wonderful to see two girls happily conversing, completely at ease in each other’s company. They clearly have social skills on par for their age, perhaps even a bit above their grade level.

We don’t often think about children at such a young age having social skills, but did you know that you begin to develop social skills from birth? Infants cry when they are wet, hungry, or tired. Then, at six weeks, they recognize that smiles signify enjoyment and pleasure. Eventually, they begin to communicate through words and sounds. Children continue to gain social skills at each stage of their development.

When children are young, their parents and siblings are their playmates. Together, you have built impressive block towers, cooked up foul smelling concoctions, and had countless outings to the park. As children grow older and start attending preschool, their social circle expands and playdates become an important part of their lives.

Playdates help children exercise their skills in a relaxed setting, solidify friendships, and gain independence. Often, though, parents are over-involved or under-involved in playdates, creating a situation that is not beneficial for the children or parents. So, how can you plan the perfect playdate?

Amanda Rock, a prolific writer about parenting and children, provides the following tips:

• Listen carefully. Your child will often come home from school talking about one or two children. Listen to which names come up most frequently and ask your child if he would like to ask those friends to come over to play. Alternatively, you can ask his teacher if there is a particular classmate that your child plays nicely with in school. Choosing the right playmate is the first step towards creating successful playdates.

• Keep it small. Invite just one friend over. An odd number of

children allows for the opportunity for someone to be left out. With only two children at the playdate, there is no chance that someone will be excluded.

• Stay at home. If your child is young and just beginning to have playdates, consider staying home in order to keep your child comfortable. To that end, invite the other child’s parent to stay in until her child settles in. If the playdate is at the friend’s house, stay. Your presence might make your young child more relaxed, especially in the case of conflict.

• Hide one or two toys. It’s hard for children to share. Therefore, before a friend comes over, ask your child what toys he does not want to share. Take those toys and put them out of sight. This will give your preschooler a sense of control over his possessions.

• Prepare snacks. Young children need to eat small meals frequently. At times, children can get hyper and cranky if they are hungry, therefore, be prepared with healthy snacks to feed their small stomachs. Feel free to ask your child what snack he would like you to serve before the playdate starts.

• Be at hand, but stay out of the way. Once your child’s playdate arrives, don’t just leave the room. Instead, suggest some activities that will get things going. Taking out puzzles, musical instruments, or blocks are great ways to break the ice. Once the children begin to play together, take a backseat, but be available in case they need you.

• Let the children resolve conflict. Unless the conflict gets physical, stay out of it. Small conflicts in controlled areas are wonderful opportunities for children to learn conflict resolution. Of course, if the argument escalates, step in and help the children come up with a compromise. In addition, conflict might signify that it is time for a new activity or a snack.

• Give warnings before the playdate ends. Children need to understand when their fun is going to come to an end. About 20 minutes before the playdate is about to end, let the kids know that soon it will be time to clean up. With 10 minutes left, start the clean up process. If they have a hard time with this, set a timer and have a “clean up race” – can the adults and children together clean up together before the timer goes off?

The big question is: why put so much thought and effort into a simple preschooler’s playdate? The answer is relatively simple: playdates are the foundations of friendships and friendships are integral to happy and healthy childhoods. Your child will learn how to share possessions and feelings, gain conflict resolution skills, and achieve independence.

You can never start too early with social skills and playdates are the perfect place to begin!

SOLVE THE PUZZLE:

Keep filling those little squares; the more you fill in, the easier the puzzle is to finish! Remember that a number can only accur once in a row, column, or square!

SUKKOS

DID YOU KNOW?

The Mitzvah of Lulav and Esrog teaches us the importance of every Jew, regardless of their level of observance. If we are missing even one person, we are not fully complete.

IMAGINE

BRING IT HOME

Think of someone different from you in the area of Yiddishkeit. What is one thing you can learn from them?

You are playing chess with your sibling one afternoon. You begin to set up the pieces on the board: the King, the Queen, the Rooks, Bishops, Knights, and Pawns. As you are about to finish, you realize you are missing one of the white Pawns. Oh no! Maybe you could still attempt to play… but it won’t be fair or the same if you do. Even though the Pawn is only one piece, and perhaps the simplest, you realize it serves an important role in the game.

DELVING DEEPER

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Some excel at learning, others at davening, and others at helping their parents, friends, or siblings. Some seem to excel in all of the above, but some don’t seem to be great at any particular mitzvah. We may be led to think that such a person is not as necessary as the others, or that being great in one area of Torah and mitzvos is the most important of all (Shemos Rabba 40:3). But the mitzvah of lulav and esrog teaches us that every single type of Jew has a role to play. Each one of us is necessary and important. Each one of the types in the Daled Minim set represents a different type of Jew, and if even one of them is missing, we can’t perform the mitzvah. Similarly, if even one Jew is missing, we are not whole. We cannot become our best selves without the help and influence of others.

Walking West Tovah S. Yavin

The year is 1883, and David and Uncle Simon are eager to stake their claim in the new Oklahoma territory. In this captivating book by award-winning author Tovah S. Yavin, walk west with David as this little-known period in American Jewish history comes to life.

Though the panda belongs to the bear family, it doesn’t hibernate during the winter like its cousins do… It has a round head, snow-white hairy fur and large black patches around its eyes, nose, ears, hands, shoulders and feet. Sharp nails on its hands are used to scratch trees. 3

Panda

The panda, which is found only in several isolated, mountainous regions in Central China, is a symbol of the animal world and is used as such internationally by animal rights organizations which fight for the protection of rare animals.

The hummingbird is of a large family of over 300 types of small birds. It is found only on the American continent, has a long bill which helps it suck nectar from flowers, and most impressive of all, it takes to the air like a helicopter. It flies upwards, downwards, sideways, backwards and upside down, and can hover in one place. How can it do what no other bird can? Hakadosh Baruch Hu created it with very strong wings which beat 100-200 times per second (!), and produce a strange ‘hum’-which is why its named hummingbird.

In the summer months (why specifically summer? Hakadosh Baruch Hu made it so to give the tiny chicks’ a greater chance of survival) the mother builds a cup-shaped nest as large as a quarter! (see photo) and lays two tiny eggs the size of peas. After 22 days, the chicks emerge, and 18 days thereafter, they are independent.

Flipthepage

The Bee-hummingbird’s iridescent feathers are of dazzling colors (red, pink, green, blue, white and black), the colors visible dependent upon the observer’s viewpoint. During specific months, its plumage comes alive, glittering like a jewel against the sun.

The Bee-hummingbird flies nearly the entire day. In one day, it visits over 1,500(!) flowers-of many different speciesto drink their juicy nectar. Hakadosh Baruch Hu gifted the hummingbird with a thin, long bill which enables it to easily access nectar as it hovers over flowers and drinks its fill. Its tongue is another ‘custom fit’. At times, it catches small insects too, as it flies in the air.

Because of its flying habits, the bee hummingbird requires huge amounts of energy and must eat and drink a lot. In one day, it can eat half of its weight (which would be like a 200 pound person eating 100 pounds!)and drink as much as 8 times its weight.

Bee hummingbirds are concentrated only in the small country of Cuba, and in one neighboring island. They are found in forests, state parks and tree-filled areas.

1. Small enough to nestle upon a fingertip…

2. A mother bee hummingbird warms her eggs in their nest. After 22 days they will crack open and two tiny birds will emerge.

3. A bird drinks nectar from the gorgeous, colorful flower with its long bill.

4. A bee hummingbird mother’s devotion: bringing her children, (which are nearly as large as she is), nectar.

5. A hummingbird bee approaches an artificial flower, which releases sugar-water.

6. The mother bee hummingbird, which doesn’t have as dazzling feathers as her husband does, sits upon a twig.

Hatzolah of Central Jersey Issues

Urgent Safety Alert Amid Spike in Pedestrian Accidents

Hatzolah of Central Jersey is issuing an urgent advisory following a significant rise in the number of pedestrian accidents across its coverage area in recent days and weeks. With the start of the new school year and preparations underway for the upcoming Yomim Tovim, the roads are seeing significantly more traffic—both pedestrian and vehicular. This increased activity is heightening the risk of accidents, particularly during busy and nighttime hours.

“We are witnessing an increase in incidents involving pedestrians being struck, especially in high-traffic areas,” said Hatzolah CEO Meilech Esterzohn. “With more people on the roads, whether heading to school, shopping, or running errands, it’s crucial for both drivers and pedestrians to be extra vigilant.”

The start of the school year means that children and families are out in greater numbers, often during morning and afternoon rush hours, creating more potential for accidents between pedestrians and vehicles. As the Yomim Tovim approach, the influx of people shopping and running errands is leading to more congestion on the streets and sidewalks. In addition, with the days growing shorter, nighttime is arriving earlier, making it more difficult for drivers to spot pedestrians, especially during evening hours when activity levels remain high.

Hatzolah of Central Jersey is calling on drivers to slow down, particularly in residential areas and near schools, and to remain alert at all times, especially during peak pedestrian traffic hours. Drivers should be extra cautious at intersections and crosswalks, yielding to pedestrians as needed. It is also essential for drivers to minimize distractions and remain focused on the road, and as the season changes, turn on headlights earlier to improve visibility in fading daylight.

Pedestrians are equally urged to exercise caution. Crossing streets at designated crosswalks and obeying pedestrian signals is critical to staying safe. Wearing reflective clothing or carrying a light when walking at night is strongly recommended, as it helps drivers see pedestrians more clearly. Pedestrians should also remain aware of their surroundings and avoid distractions while walking. For those walking on roads without sidewalks, it’s safer to walk facing traffic so that oncoming vehicles can be seen in time to react.

While Hatzolah stands ready to respond in times of emergency, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By taking simple but essential precautions, both drivers and pedestrians can help reduce the number of accidents and make our roads safer for everyone.
