STYLING & TEXT

by Sina Mizrahi

with Dreidel S’mores Board You will need:

Lieber’s Chocolate Graham Crackers Lieber’s Honey Graham Crackers Lieber’s Marshmallows – large and mini Lieber’s Parve Gelt – silver foil Lieber’s Dairy White Gelt – green foil Lieber’s Milk Chocolate Gelt – gold foil

Lieber’s Striped Dainties Lieber’s Peanut Butter Pretzels Lieber’s Wafer Rolls Wooden board Dreidel cookie cutters

Directions:

Place a graham cracker in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds.

Using your cookie cutter, cut out a dreidel from the center of the graham cracker. Repeat with as many dreidels as you want.

Remove half of the foil wrappers from the parve and half from the brown dairy coins. Remove all the foil wrappers from the dairy white coins.

Arrange all Lieber’s products on the board as shown, or arrange using your own creativity.

To make dreidel s’mores: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place half of the dreidel graham crackers on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Place 1–2 chocolate coins on each graham cracker.

Place in the oven for 2–3 minutes, until melted.

Remove from oven and an add 1–2 marshmallows to each dreidel.

Turn oven to broil. Return the tray to the oven and broil for 1–2 minutes.

Remove from oven and place another graham cracker on top to cover each one.

Optional: Instead of using the oven, you can use a mini tabletop grill. Adult supervision is required.

Mosaic Dreidel Cookies You will need:

Lieber’s Decorating Bars, assorted colors, melted Dreidel-shaped sugar cookies Icing

Directions:

Spread melted decorating bar in a thin layer on a piece of foil. Place in freezer for approximately 10 minutes. Test to see if you like the thickness of the decorating bar and then repeat with each color.

Spread a little bit of icing on each cookie. Cut “mosaic” pieces of chocolate and stick it to the icing.

To make the designs, you can either break off pieces of chocolate or use a sharp knife to make straighter lines. If you’re using a knife, the chocolate should be at room temperature so that it’s soft and won’t crack while cutting.

Tip: This is a great cookie decorating activity for all ages. As you can see, the designs can be done on a juvenile level or on a more sophisticated level.

Wafer Menorah Directions:

You will need:

Lieber’s Pastry Crisps Lieber’s Wafer Rolls Lieber’s Decorating Bars, assorted colors, melted Lieber’s Fruit Jewels or Fruit Jellies Toothpicks

Prepare a large piece of parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut 4 wafer rolls in half.

Dip 1 whole and 8 half wafer rolls in a different color melted decorating bar. (I threaded each one onto a skewer to make it easier to dip.)

For the base, place about 1–2 tablespoons of any color decorating bar on the prepared parchment paper. Place two pastry crisps next to each other, short sides touching each other, right over the chocolate. The chocolate will connect the two in the middle to create one long base. Allow to dry.

Drizzle different colored melted decorating bars over base. Allow to dry.

Using some more melted chocolate, glue the candles to the base. Using scissors, cut out a flame shape from the candies. Break toothpicks into small pieces and stick them into the candy. Stick candy onto the candles to create the flame.

Tip: For a neater base, take two strips of parchment paper and place them on either of the long ends of the base.

Drizzle decorating bars and then carefully remove the parchment paper.

Tip: I used a hard plastic cup to melt each colored chocolate. The cup was a good shape for dipping the wafer rolls.

Parashah Vibes

Leora Gruen

Vayeishev Shabbos Chanukah “A caravan of Yishma’elim was coming from Gilead, and their camels were carrying spices, balm, and lotus” (Bereishes 37:25).

The pasuk describing Yosef’s trip to Mitzrayim tells us which merchandise the Yishma’elim were transporting. Why is it important to know what the caravan was carrying? Rashi explains that the Torah includes these details to let us know the extent of the reward for the righteous. Usually, the Yishma’elim transported merchandise like petroleum, which smelled terrible, but this time they carried fragrant spices so Yosef wouldn’t suffer extra pain.

This answer is puzzling. Imagine a person is trapped in a car after a serious car accident. As he lays there, frozen and anxious, the fragrant smell of air freshener wafts in. Would he even notice it? Would he remotely care about the pleasant smell while he lies there with much greater worries on his mind?

A deeper understanding of this Rashi is that the spices were a message to Yosef, what we would colloquially refer to as “hugs and kisses from Heaven.” During a terrible time, while he was being dragged away from his family to the unknown, Hashem was reminding Yosef: “I’m here with you, I haven’t forgotten you.”

This idea is a fundamental principle of the miracle of Chanukah. Rav Pincus quotes the pasuk about Shlomo HaMelech building the Beis HaMikdash, which reads: “So said Shlomo, ‘Hashem said He will rest in the darkness’ ” (Melachim I 8:12). He explains that often, the Shechinah is mentioned together with words like “cloud,” “darkness,” or “fog” to teach us that the Shechinah resides within the darkness.

24

12/6/2023

Wherever there are troubles, challenges, or crises, Hashem is there.

Chazal call the darkness a mechitzah (Mechilta on Shemos 20:17). We often mistakenly think that a mechitzah divides or separates between two things.

The truth, however, is the opposite. The purpose of a mechitzah is to create connection. For example, in shul, if there were no mechitzah, women would be unable to enter due to tznius considerations. The purpose of a mechitzah, therefore, is not to divide but to allow for closeness by permitting women to enter.

Rav Pincus tells a famous story of an irreligious man who generally ate pork. However, once, during the Holocaust, a Nazi threatened to kill him unless he ate pig. The man refused and was beaten mercilessly to death. It was specifically in the dark that he found his connection to Hashem. Within darkness lies the ability to achieve closeness to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Chanukah is a time when we too can reach greatness and achieve siyatta d’Shmaya. During the time period of the Greeks — who symbolize darkness — thirteen individuals (the Chashmona’im) stood up and overpowered the vast and powerful army. Everything in the Beis HaMikdash was shattered, destroyed, and rendered impure, yet the Chashmona’im merited to find one untouched flask of oil — with enough oil for one day. A miracle occurred, and the contents of the flask remained lit for eight days.

Sometimes, darkness can feel so overwhelming that it’s difficult to see the light. When this happens, it’s crucial to take a step back and look for the fragrant

spices or flask of oil within the pain and realize that these are signs that HaKadosh Baruch Hu is with us, waiting to shine His light upon us.

Four years ago my mother passed away in Lakewood on a Thursday night during Chanukah. Because I live in Eretz Yisrael, I wasn’t able to make it to Lakewood before Shabbos for the levayah, but I flew out immediately after Shabbos for the shivah.

My sister, who under normal circumstances would pick me up from the airport, was obviously unavailable, and I didn’t want to disturb other family members to meet my early-morning flight.

I decided to try to find someone on my flight who would be driving into Lakewood. While still at the gate in Eretz Yisrael, I approached the first frum woman I saw and asked her if she was planning on driving to Lakewood.

She saw my ripped shirt and sneakers and immediately assessed the situation. She was indeed traveling to the area that I needed, and was happy to help.

Not only did she drive me straight to where I needed to go, but she saved the details I had shared, looked up the information through Misaskim, and came to be menachem avel — although we’d only barely met.

I often think about and relive Hashem’s hug that I felt during that dark time.

The Gemara (Shabbos 21b) says that Chazal established Chanukah as a time for thanksgiving and praise, but only for the year after it occurred.

Why was it only for the next year and not for the year when the miracle happened?

This question can be answered with another Gemara (Berachos 7b), which discusses that Leah was the first to thank Hashem when she named her son Yehuda.

Is it possible that Leah was the first to thank Hashem?

Didn’t Adam thank Hashem, saying, “It’s good to thank Hashem”?

Wasn’t the purpose of Avraham’s tent for people to recognize Hashem and thank Him for the food they’d received? What about Leah herself? Was she ungrateful for her first three children?

26

12/6/2023

Rav Yisroel Yaakov Fisher explains the following: Leah endured many hardships in her life. She cried for years to be saved from marrying Eisav. With the names of her first children, she emphasized her feelings of affliction and pain. When Yehuda was born, however, she realized retroactively that all the difficulties she’d endured were in fact a lead-up up to the wondrous climax of Yehuda’s birth, from whom Mashiach will come. At Yehuda’s birth, Leah contemplated all aspects of her life, including the difficult ones, and she thanked Hashem for them all.

Similarly, with Chanukah, Chazal felt that after a year, the Jews would be able to look back and see retroactively that the pain they’d suffered and the decrees they’d been through had all been beneficial.

Everything had really been leading to their rescue and to the miracles they ultimately experienced. And through that reflection, they could truly thank and praise Hashem.

The following exercise can help strengthen the ability to thank Hashem even in challenging times. Think of a trying situation you have experienced or are currently experiencing. Describe it. Now think of at least one gift you received as a result. It should be something you gained that you would not have gained without that challenge.

A widow I met related to me that she has a serious health challenge. She sees that, due to her challenge, she has developed a rewarding relationship with her special neighbors, as they constantly inquire after her welfare and take care of her needs.

A friend of mine has an ongoing challenge of caring for a special-needs child. She tapped into the beautiful and deep connection she developed with her husband as a result. Another woman, this one in a difficult relationship, searched for a source of inspiration and found a sefer that has helped her in many areas. She told friends about this meaningful and inspirational sefer, and another friend subsequently shared that she got the sefer, and it turned her life around too.

Chanukah is a unique time to thank and to praise, l’hodos ul’hallel — to discover the bright spots of light residing within the darkness, to thank Hashem for them, and to thus experience the promise of the navi, who says, “Those who go in the dark will see a great light” (Yeshayahu 9:1).

Reb Avraham Brandwein The Second Stretiner Rebbe (1805–1865) Shira Yael Klein

In a city in Russia lived a young man who had an excellent reputation as a talmid chacham. He married the daughter of a wealthy man, and his father-in-law took him in and supported him so that he could sit and learn. The years passed, and eventually this man’s father-in-law opened a store for him, where he became very successful.

Instead, he paced around the shul.

More years passed, and soon the couple had been married for almost a decade without having children. The couple began to see different doctors, and eventually the husband was advised to see a specialist in Lemberg, Galicia.

“I don’t know what to do,” he said.

“My wife and I have been married for almost ten years without children. I’m from Russia, and I came all the way to Lemberg to see a certain doctor. The

An older chassid approached. “Why are you upset?” he asked. “It’s Chanukah, and these are days of simchah! Come join our party.”

The man wasn’t too interested in talking to a stranger, but the chassid wouldn’t give up, and, finally, he opened up and poured out his heart.

The man made the long trip to Lemberg, and the specialist advised him to bathe in the mineral springs of the spa town Kranitz (modern day Krynica) in southern Poland.

The man wandered the streets of Lemberg aimlessly, feeling dejected and upset. Suddenly, he heard singing. He followed the sound and arrived at the shul of the Stretiner chassidim. He went inside and saw a group of chassidim sitting together at a Chanukah party.

The man was in no mood to join them.

When the Rebbe heard this, he replied, “In the Gemara it says, ‘Mai Chanukah [What is Chanukah]?’

Chanukah is [like] May. Go home, and you will have a child.”

The man heard the Rebbe’s words, and he felt like a new person, filled with hope.

In Russia, where the man was from, many tzaddikim would ask for a set sum of money as a pidyon nefesh to affect yeshuos. “How much money should I give?” the man asked the Rebbe.

But this was not the custom in Stretin, and the Rebbe answered, “Give whatever you want.”

The problem was that by now it was Chanukah, and the mineral springs in Kranitz were closed due to the cold.

They’d only reopen in May… When the man heard this, he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to wait five months until the baths would open in Kranitz. But he also couldn’t go back home without having done anything.

“Rebbe, the specialist in Lemberg advised me to travel to the baths in Kranitz, but they don’t open until May!” the main told the Rebbe in his private audience.

“Please, Rebbe, tell me how much to pay. Whatever it is, I’ll do it.”

doctor told me to go to the springs in Kranitz, but they’re closed until May. I can’t wait that long!”

“Don’t worry about the future,” the elderly chassid said. “This Shabbos we’ll be going to Reb Avraham.

Come with us, and you’ll certainly experience a yeshuah.”

The man took the chassid’s advice and traveled with the chassidim to Stretin for Shabbos. On motza’ei Shabbos he went to see the Rebbe.

The rebbe closed his eyes for a few moments, deep in thought. Then he said, “I want you to accept upon yourself that should you have a son, you will fast on his birthday for the rest of your life.”

The man agreed to this request and went home, encouraged. Indeed, on the following Yom Kippur his wife gave birth to a son.

And just as the Rebbe had requested, the man fasted every year on his son’s birthday…

Reb Chaim Yaakov Stein

Rosh Yeshivah of Telshe Yeshivah, Cleveland and Wickliffe, Ohio (1913–2011) Shira Yael Klein In October 1940, a group of Telshe yeshivah students, led by Reb Chaim Stein, escaped from war-ravaged Lithuania when it was overrun by the Nazis. They escaped to Russia via the Trans-Siberian Railroad, which is where our story takes place.

Reb Nosson Meir Wachtfogel was also part of this group. He later became the mashgiach ruchani of Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, New Jersey.

The group managed to reach Australia.

From there, they found their way to the United States in the beginning of 1941. There, they were reunited with their roshei yeshivah, Rabbi Elya Meir Bloch and Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Katz, and eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio.

Back to the year 1940 and our story.

Reb Chaim Stein and his friends and acquaintances were abroad the TransSiberian Railroad, fleeing deep into Russia to escape the Nazis.

Then Chanukah came around. “How can we fulfil the mitzvah of lighting the Chanukah menorah this year?” the young men asked each other.

“We’re on a train in the middle of Siberia. We can pull threads out of our clothing to use as wicks. But we have no way of getting oil. You can’t buy oil on a train in Siberia. It looks like we won’t be able to light the menorah this year,” they concluded sadly.

But then someone had a brilliant idea.

“Look,” he said. “Every night the train stops for the night. The wheels of the train accumulate a lot of dirt and

grease throughout the day. If we crawl under the train car at night and scrape the grease off the wheels, I think we can manage to collect enough grease for one candle each night.”

And that’s what the young men did.

Every night they braved the bitter subzero Siberian cold. They crawled under the train and painstakingly scraped as much grease as they could off the wheels so that they could light a Chanukah candle and allow it to burn for the minimum half-hour required by halachah.

They did this on the first, second, third, and the fourth nights of Chanukah.

On the fifth night they climbed under the train again. But it had rained and snowed that day. They lay on the freezing ground, searching for grease on the wheels, but try as they might, there was no grease to be had.

Finally, tired, wet, and cold, they realized that there was no hope. They gave up the search and got back on the train. They realized that they wouldn’t be able to light a Chanukah candle that night. It was just impossible.

Eventually, dejected and depressed, most of them fell asleep.

But Reb Chaim reacted differently.

“If we can’t physically perform the mitzvah,” he told a friend, “we’ll do it a different way. We’ll sit and study the laws of lighting the menorah. If one learns the halachos of a mitzvah, it’s as if he has actually done it, so that’s how we’ll light the menorah tonight.”

And so, as everyone else on the train slept, Reb Chaim and his friend pored over the halachos of lighting a menorah.

They had no oil, but the flame of Torah burned brightly on the train that night.

Suddenly, there was the sound of someone at the door of the train, trying to get in.

It was a burly Russian man. “Does anyone want to buy candles?” he asked.

Candles?! In the middle of Siberia? In the middle of the night? On a train?

There was no time for questions.

Reb Chaim quickly struck a deal with the gentleman and bought the candles.

“Get up quickly!” he roused his sleeping friends. “Hashem sent us candles! We can still fulfill the mitzvah of hadlakas neiros Chanukah!”

And they indeed lit the candles that night.

Reb Chaim later said that the simchah he experienced that night made an impression on him for the rest of his life.

Every Chanukah Reb Chaim would share this story with his family, acquaintances, and students, saying, “When you desperately want to do a mitzvah, Hashem says, ‘If you want to do it so much, I will make it happen.’ ” (As heard from Rabbi Elazar Meisels, Chanukah Stories to Inspire, TorahAnytime)

Kids Serial

The Junior Diplomats

Chapter 14

For some reason, Mr. Green seemed to take Jake’s suspicions seriously, immediately reporting them to Yoav Katz.

His quick and breezy response, “Thanks, but that man was probably the cleaning help we hired. I’ll have to tell him to be somewhat more discreet,” came over the line loud enough for Jake to hear too.

Mr. Green hung up the phone with his neighbor, a confused expression on his face.

It wasn’t an expression that was too hard to decode.

“He didn’t seem to care, did he?” Jake asked.

Recap: The Katzes’ trackers decide to plant new devices in their house. Jake, at home from school, notices a stranger in his neighbors’ apartment and grows concerned. His reflections are interrupted by a phone call from Rabbi Zilberberg and his father’s sudden return home.

Mr. Green shook his head. “No. The whole thing is strange, though. You’re telling me that you’ve seen a man like this once before in the Katzes’ apartment, and Mr. Katz sort of confirmed that by saying that he’s a cleaning guy. Only, why would they hire a cleaning man after Mom highly praised our Helene to Mrs. Katz after Mrs. Katz told her she could really use more cleaning help?”

Jake stared at his father. He hadn’t known that Mom and Mrs. Katz had grown friendly enough to recommend cleaning ladies to each other, but still, he suspected several other holes in Mr. Katz’s story.

Chapter 14

Mr. Katz and Eli had found listening devices all over their apartment. Wouldn’t it make sense, after discovering such a thing, for Mr. Katz to become a tad more suspicious? To not allow a strange “cleaning man” into an otherwise empty apartment, and certainly to come home if his neighbor reported something strange?

And another thing… The men the boys kept noticing — on the train and on the way home from the Zilberbergs — had seemed like anything but cleaning men.

But thinking about the Zilberbergs, and knowing that Dad was home for a limited time only, reminded him he had something to ask his father. It seemed silly to waste any more energy on worrying about the Katzes’ possible trackers when Mr. Katz didn’t seem very worried himself.

Mr. Green settled down on the couch and began scrolling through his phone, probably trying to make sense, still, of the strange conversation he’d just had with his neighbor.

Jake settled down beside him.

“Rabbi Zilberberg said that he was calling to invite us all over for Sha— uh, Saturday,” Jake said. “That’s the reason he was on the phone when you came in, but I forgot to tell you that before— I just hung up quickly and told you about the man.”

Mr. Green nodded. From his expression, however, it was clear that his thoughts were still on Jake’s earlier report about the possible tracker downstairs. “I’ll have to discuss that invitation with Mom, but in the meantime, I don’t want you to stay home on your own with a suspicious-seeming cleaning man in the apartment underneath us.”

“Uh, okay. What should I do?”

“Come with me to the embassy, Jake. It’s high time you enjoyed a tour of the place, and on the way there we can discuss your bar mitvah lessons and this weekend invitation.”

Buoyed by his father’s enthusiastic tone, Jake followed him out the front door and down the stairs to his waiting car outside.

It took tremendous strength not to tremble as he passed the door to the Katzes’ apartment and noticed a slight twitch at the peephole.

Cleaning man, my foot, Jake thought. Which cleaning man stared out of his employer’s peephole to make sure that the coast was clear — in very obvious preparation of leaving the home probably less than an hour after his arrival? *** In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Green turned down Zilberbergs’ Shabbos invitation — but they did tell Jake that they’d discussed the offer and that he was welcome to go without them if he wanted to.

“I can go by myself?” Jake asked, surprised that his parents would allow him to take up a social invitation without them.

“Rabbi Zilberberg said you can go with Eli. He understood that it would be too much for us to come as a family, but he’s happy to give you boys this special experience.”

“Eli has this experience every week,” Jake said. But still, the idea of going to a rabbi’s house for the weekend meal was tempting — and it would be strange to take Rabbi Zilberberg up on the offer alone. “But I guess I’ll go downstairs to ask him if he’s interested.”

Chapter 14

Jake had more to discuss with Eli than just the Shabbos invite, but he tried to play casual when he arrived at the Katzes’ door just as Eli and Rachel’s German tutor was waving to them and wishing them, “Shalom and auf wiedersehen.”

The teacher stepped aside, and Eli wagged a pair of curios eyebrows in Jake’s direction.

“Want to go to the park with me?” Jake blurted.

“The park?” There was a note of surprise in Eli’s voice. “Uh, sure. The park. Uh, Rachel, tell Ima that I went out with Jake to the park.

We’ll be back in half an hour.”

“How do you know we’ll be back so quickly?”

Jake said as soon as the boys were outside in the open space on the street. “Maybe it’ll take us a long time to finish our game of ball.”

“Do you have a ball, Jake?” Eli asked, and Jake had to laugh at his friend’s astuteness.

“Come on, Jake. From the very first time that I met you, you made it clear that you don’t like parks and sports. So if you’re asking me to go to the park with you, you clearly have an ulterior reason.”

Touché.

“I think your house is bugged,” Jake admitted quietly as the boys headed toward the nearby park. “That’s why we’re going to pretend to play ball. Really, I just don’t want anyone to overhear us.”

“But I thought we already discussed this,” Eli responded just as quietly, taking care to check that there was no one around them.

“My father took all the bugs out of the house, and—”

“There was a man in your house again this morning,” Jake said. “I saw him when I peeked out my lookout window in the bathroom. Your father told my father that he was just a cleaning man.”

“We don’t have a cleaning man—” “I know. Even my father realized it was an excuse. Almost like your dad was hinting at him not to get involved.”

“So my father knows that there was a stranger in the house this morning, and he didn’t want to do anything about it.” Eli silently mulled this over. A moment later, though, he added, “Or maybe he did want to do something — he just didn’t want your father to know about it.”

The two boys stared at each other, reams of open-ended questions and unexpressed words hanging between them.

After a while, Jake sighed. “It’s a mystery, that’s for sure. And that’s why I wanted to talk to you about it out here, instead of in your house that might be bugged again — this time with bugs that work.”

“I’ll have to be careful with what I talk about if that’s how it is,” Eli mused.

“You’ll have to be careful with everything,” Jake said. And then, with another sigh, he switched the conversation to more cheerful subjects. “Anyway, Eli, there’s something else that I wanted to ask you, and I guess it’s good that we’re out here in the open where no one can hear us. Rabbi Zilberberg invited us to his house for Shabbos. I’m going. Want to come too?”

But they can also be seen in urban areas and even in the backyards of private homes. It can happen that they decide to make their dwelling in the attic or walls of a house and wreak havoc with the wiring by chewing it all up.

Squirrels oftentimes build a nest on a tree (see picture on the left). The nest is constructed from dry twigs and leaves and when done they will cover it with a closure. The nest serves to keep them warm and in there they will raise their family.

Sometimes they use large holes found in the barks of trees to live in.

Twice a year the mother squirrel has 1-4 babies, however 3 is common. Sometimes it can even be up to 8-9. The babies are born with no hair, blind, and very dependant on their mother. At 10 weeks they are more independent and by 12 weeks they are ready to go off on their own. Only 1 in 4 babies will survive the first year, and even the second year has only a 50% survival rate.

A partial list comprising their diet includes: nuts, fruits, seeds, leaves that are just sprouting (see bottom photo) and soft twigs. In metropolitan areas they will try and steal bird feed from specially designated bird feeders.

They tend to be busy all day collecting and storing food. When they find seeds and nuts etc. they will either bury it underground or hide it in previously prepared storage places. They have excellent memories and will remember every spot they hid or buried food, sometimes even months later!

Scientists have concluded that in a single season the squirrel can have made over 1,000 hiding spots and will recall each one by recognizing the location or surrounding area.

Once they reached the right spot they will use their sense of smell of guide them to the exact location. With their tiny but deft fingers they will dig up the hole and remove the food. Their razor sharp teeth can crack open and bite off even the hardest foods. (see photo which clearly shows the pieces bitten off the nutshells.)

SAILING STONES IN DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA Big rocks, some super heavy, move across a dry lake bed named Racetrack Playa, and leave tracks behind. Many of the largest rocks have left behind trails as long as fifteen hundred feet, suggesting that they’ve moved a long way from their original location. The wild part is that they totally look like they’re moving by themselves. Picture a rock as heavy as three grand pianos gliding across the ground…on its own! The sailing stones were first discovered in 1915, when people noticed a track that indicated that a particular stone had moved from its place in the dry land.

For many years nobody knew why this was happening. Eventually, scientists figured out the mystery. When it’s cold, the water around these rocks freezes into thin sheets of ice. Then, when the sun comes up, these ice sheets start to melt and get very slippery. Then the wind comes, and the rocks start cruising.

Fun fact: Through cool technology, scientists figured out that rocks with smooth bottoms sometimes twist and turn in curvy trails. The rough-bottomed ones, however, travel in straight lines.

DARVAZA GAS CRATER This crater looks like something out of a spooky story, but it’s a real place in Turkmenistan (a country in central Asia). For over forty years, this 230-foot-wide huge hole in the ground has been on fire. But guess what? It wasn’t meant to be like that…

Back in 1971, Soviet researchers thought there was a huge oil field at the spot. They set up a drilling rig to extract the valuable resource. But things didn’t go as planned. The ground under the rig caved in, forming a massive hole. To make matters worse, they realized it was releasing a lot of methane gas, which can be dangerous.

To handle the situation, the scientists figured the best move was to set the gas on fire, thinking it would burn out in a few days. They were wrong.

The flames never stopped, and now, years later, the Darvaza gas crater, also known as the Shining of Karakum, has become an unexpected tourist attraction.

BLOOD FALLS The perfect backdrop for a creepy and bloody horror story, Blood Falls is a five-story-tall waterfall that shoots blood-red water into a river. It was first sighted in the year 1911 in the Eastern part of Antarctica, in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. It is the only waterfall of its kind on Earth.

Unlike a regular waterfall, instead of typical colorless or blue-looking water, Blood Falls spurts out red salty water from a glacier (a huge, thick mass of ice) onto the ice-covered surface of Lake Bonney. Only in 2017 was the mystery of its bloody appearance solved when it was discovered that the red-colored water originated from the oxidizing of iron in the salty water, similar to how iron turns red due to rusting.

ZERO SHADOW DAY You know how on most days when the sun shines things like trees, poles, and even you cast a shadow? Well, on Zero Shadow Day, there are a few moments where this doesn’t happen.

That’s right — there are zero shadows. Nada. Nothing.

This is because the sun is directly overhead. So instead of the sunlight coming at an angle and creating shadows, the light beams down perfectly straight. And objects don’t cast shadows when the sun’s rays hit them from directly above.

This

natural

phenomenon

only

happens twice a year, and only between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, located near the equator. So if you happened to have been chilling in that zone on April 18, 2023, at 12:17 p.m., you might’ve experienced a world with no shadows for a few minutes!

LAKE HILLIER If you fly over Western Australia, you will see, amid lush emerald-green forest trees surrounded by the deep blue Southern Oceana, a series of pink lakes. One of the most wellknown is Lake Hillier, and what makes it stand out is its shocking bubble-gum-pink color.

Scientists aren’t 100 percent sure of the reason for its incredible hue. They’ve hypothesized that it may be because of the green algae that the lake contains. Green algae are loaded with a red-orange pigment called beta-carotene. Otherwise, it may be because of haloarchaea — tiny microbes that turn reddish in big groups. Or it may be due to the pink brine prawns (tiny pink shrimp-like creatures that live in very salty waters). Whatever the reason, this lake is all natural and totally awesome!

Most tourists admire the stunning view of Lake Hillier from a helicopter or plane. But if you’re on the ground, there’s an added treat: Lake Hillier is salty but not toxic, so make sure to pack your bathing suit and go for a swim. And, like the Dead Sea in Eretz Yisrael, because the water is so salty, you can’t sink!

MEXICO’S HIDDEN BEACH One of the more breathtaking beaches in Mexico (and that’s saying a lot, because Mexico is known for its stunning beaches!) is part of an island called Islas Marietas. You’ll need to make sure you get good directions before you visit, because unless you’re viewing it from above (like from a plane), this beach is totally hidden at ground level!

An hour-long boat ride is necessary to actually reach the island, and even once you dock, you’ll still have to jump into the water and swim under the rocks to get to the secluded beach.

Most visitors agree, though, that it’s worth the trip!

This hidden beach is not the result of natural occurrences. Like the Darvaza gas crater, military explosive testing in the 1900s left many holes, craters, and caves across the Mexican Islands, and this hidden beach was another result.

LAKE BAIKAL Siberia might be the last place on Earth you’d like to visit, but you’d be surprised to hear that there’s a stunning natural wonder located there. Lake Baikal is the oldest, deepest, clearest, and largest freshwater lake in the world. The clear lake water freezes during winters when temperatures fall well below zero. But it doesn’t freeze like an ordinary lake. Because of Lake Baikal’s huge size and the fierce winds that sweep across its surface, the ice doesn’t settle calmly. Instead, chunks of fresh ice and existing ice sheets (called ice floes) get pushed and shoved around, causing the ice to crash into each other. They stack up, resulting in spectacular turquoise gem-like ice formations called “ice hummocks,” whick look like crystalclear towers, shimmering green-blue walls, or even jagged sculptures of ice.

The ice is so thick in certain areas that the lake’s frozen surface can hold not only the weight of people but sometimes even cars!

LENTICULAR CLOUDS Beautiful and odd acts of nature aren’t just found at ground level or below. The sky also hosts interesting and weird phenomena, and Mount Fuji, Japan, is home to some epic-looking clouds known as lenticular clouds.

These clouds get their name from their overall shape that supposedly looks like a lens. Many folks, however, think they look more like UFOs. Some people even call the lenticular clouds “flying saucer clouds,” and other nicknames include “cloudships,” “clouds of heaven,” and “lennies.”

The cool clouds form when moist air flows over mountains, creating wave-like patterns in the sky. Their presence often foretells snow in the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Mount Fuji isn’t the only place lenticular clouds can occur, but it is one of the more well-known ones. Other lenticular clouds can sometimes be seen at Mount Rainier, Washington, and Mount Errigal, Ireland.

PAINTED DESERT You know what sand art is, right? Well, magnify your sand painting by a million, and you might get an idea of what the Painted Desert in Arizona looks like. It’s like Hashem painted a giant canvas over thousands of years of nature, where each hill and land formation consists of layers of different amazing colors.

If you’ve ever left your bike out in the rain and seen it rust, then you should have no trouble understanding where the desert’s red tones come from. The iron minerals in the desert rust too, or oxidize — and that leads to red-colored sand. Blue and gray shades pop up where iron doesn’t get enough air and the opposite of rusting occurs, and the purples come when the reds and blues get mixed together.

These wonderous occurrences have been going on for millennia (thousands of years), and over time, dirt and sediment have piled up, pressing down on the layers below to lock in those bomb colors.

If that’s not mind-blowing enough, in the Painted Desert is an area called the Petrified Forest, which is a forest made up of trees that have turned into stone.

These trees fell and got buried, and over many, many years, minerals in the ground replaced the wood but kept the tree shape. Today, the Petrified Forest looks like a desert with big, colorful logs everywhere — logs that are solid stone with crazy patterns and colors.

LAKE NATRON Lake Natron is a lake found in the country of Tanzania that spouts red water. But that’s not the creepiest part! Nope, the spookiest part of Lake Natron is its ability to mummify animals! The water is so salty and alkaline that animals that die and fall into the lake don’t rot. Instead, they turn into preserved statues!

Talk about spooky!

LIGHT SHOWS Over the Catatumbo River in Venezuela, South America, you can witness something that looks like nature’s very own fireworks show, with insane amounts of lightning striking the area almost every night.

This lightning hotspot often produces over twenty thousand lightning strikes in just one night and these Catatumbo lightning “shows” last for ten hours a day, up to 260 days a year.

Unsurprisingly, the phenomenon is often called the “everlasting storm.”

Other cosmic light shows of a different variety take place in polar regions like Norway, Canada, and Iceland, when sun particles hit earth’s atmosphere. This phenomenon, called the aurora borealis, or by its better-known name “northern lights,”

Chapter 14

The Guy Next Door Ruthie Pearlman

Chapter 14 Recap: A suspicious Montague Stilton calls the Bermans’ daughter, who’s shocked to hear her parents aren’t at Schindler Square.

Nachman, stranded by Montague, calls the Bermans’ daughter again. She then tells him that her parents have never been at Schindler’s Square and could be killed if anyone finds out where they are.

Now this much is true: It is not often that I, Nachman Feld, am struck dumb. I usually have a smart-aleck response to almost anything life throws at me.

But this?

This was turning from a simple matter of a strange neighbor moving in next door, taking over the home of my dear elderly friends, to some creepy conspiracy of proportions I didn’t even want to think about.

“Mr. Feld, are you there?” Elisa Bronner said. She sounded worried. As well she might. I wasn’t even 100 percent sure I was there, to be honest, I was

so weirded out.

“I’m here,” I said, not sounding convincing even to myself. “You’re saying your parents have gone into hiding?”

“I’ve said too much already, sorry, Mr. Feld,” she said. “Please don’t contact me again. I think they might even be bugging my phone. I can’t take any risks. This is my parents we’re talking about.”

“Bugging your—?” I began, but she had already killed the call. I was left staring at my phone, as if it was a newly dangerous venomous serpent that I held in my hand.

The tube station loomed ahead, but somehow I

Chapter 14

wasn’t ready to go into the bowels of the earth, away from communication. I stood there, looking around me, unable to move. When would the tube system get Wi-Fi connected?

I found a steel bench to sit on — one of the variety carefully thought-out and designed to cut into your back and provide you with zero support.

It was uncomfortable, but I sat on it anyway. I needed to think.

I started off like this: Who in this world did I trust? I had a list, but the list seemed to be getting shorter by the minute.

Debbie and the kids, that was a given.

My parents.

Her parents.

Now…who else? I trusted Mottel and Gittel. I’d known them all my life.

For sure I trusted them.

And I certainly didn’t trust Xavier Roberts.

each other as they waited for their train. A couple of businessmen stood with briefcases, no doubt between important meetings.

Then there was me.

And then there was this bald guy with a small, neatly trimmed beard. He glanced my way, then quite deliberately turned away to study the map of the tube that was on the wall.

The bald guy was in his fifties, I reckoned. He looked a little like Xavier Roberts, only smarter dressed. Could have been his slightly older, wealthier brother. He wore a small manbag slung across his body crossways. I didn’t think the bag had much space in it for anything but a phone, and I wondered why he would need it, when he had pockets galore in his cargo pants and light jacket. I spent the time waiting for the train trying to work out what he would carry in his manbag.

A gun maybe?

I almost certainly didn’t trust Montague Stilton.

And what about Elisa Bronner? I would have thought she’d be top of the list of trustworthy people.

But now I wasn’t at all sure.

With a sigh that made me feel (and probably look) like an old man, I got up from the bench before it did my back in permanently, and trudged the few more meters to the tube station. I was going to work.

I swiped my Oyster card, checked the map for where I needed to change lines (not so simple, but being a smart guy, I figured it out), and I went to the relevant platform to wait for the train.

As it wasn’t rush hour, the platform was relatively empty. A few women sat on benches chatting with

He glanced at me again.

Why just me? There were other men on the platform.

It had to be that he was following me. No other explanation.

I considered leaving the tube station and taking a taxi to work. But at this stage, with the train already audibly rumbling through the tunnel toward us, I thought it would look too obvious.

With a whoosh of stale air, the train arrived at the platform. People got off. I got on and sat down.

As it was the middle of the day, there were plenty of seats. Bald Guy with Beard got on my carriage.

He sat down directly opposite me.

Directly.

He stared at me.

Chapter 14

I tried staring him down, but I lost my nerve and just studied the advertisements that ran along the top of the opposite window. I couldn’t have him staring at me the entire journey. Luckily, I only had three stops before I had to change to a different line. Three stops I could manage.

He continued to stare right at me as the train pulled out. There were ample seats in the carriage — why had he chosen to sit opposite me?

I’m not a particularly brave man, and this was seriously unnerving. I sent up a silent prayer to the Almighty, engaged the man in eye contact, and said, “Why are you staring at me? Do I have some dirt on my face somewhere or something I could wipe off?” I made a big show of looking at my face in the reflective glass behind him.

Hardly original, but it made a point.

His expression didn’t change; his stare didn’t waver. He also didn’t reply. This was really ridiculous.

“You know, in the UK, it’s rude to stare,” I said.

No response, no change.

I created a scenario in my head where I was him and he was me. I was in a foreign country, didn’t understand a word of the language, and someone started speaking to me. Not one word meant a thing to me. Wouldn’t I do exactly the same? Just not reply?

I quite liked the scenario, until I got to the part where I wouldn’t have stared in the first place.

I was far too British. I would avoid eye contact at all costs. So everything made sense except the staring part.

Despite myself, I took another look at my reflection in the glass window opposite. I saw myself — no black smudges or stains on my face. I looked very uneasy and not at all happy, but besides that, I looked normal. Normal as I could look, anyway.

Bald Guy still hadn’t moved, but he wasn’t looking my way anymore. In fact, he looked rather like someone had switched him off at his source. His head was bowed, his hands clasped between his knees, his eyes closed.

“I don’t know where you’re from,” I went on, after clearing my throat somewhat nervously, “but you had better learn British manners. Why are you staring at me?”

Who cared? He was leaving me alone, at least.

I relaxed and even smiled genially at the two businessmen opposite me, who smiled back.

Same result.

Ah, it was good to be British and to be with people who understood what it meant to be British.

“Okay,” I said, getting up. “I’m going to change seats. I don’t like where I’m sitting.”

I got up, moved down the carriage, and sat down opposite two businessmen who were sitting next to each other. They weren’t talking, but their presence was calm and reassuring. They looked nice and British and safe and comforting, like a warm blanket on a cold night.

I looked down the carriage. Bald Guy with Beard hadn’t moved. I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he just didn’t understand English. Yeah, that had to be it. I’d been talking to him in a language that had literally no meaning to him, so he’d just stared

130

blankly at me. It was a blank stare, not a rude one, I reassured myself.

12/6/2023

My stop approached. I got up, and the train did a little dance, causing me to lurch toward the opposite seats where the businessmen sat. I regained my equilibrium and decided to apologize by being super-British. “I’m sorry old chap,” I said, smiling warmly at my fellow countrymen.

“The train, you know…”

The businessmen smiled. “No problem,” one said benignly, “as long as you keep your nose out of the Bernsteins’ affairs. Old chap.”

Perfect Potato Latkes You’re sure to savor the crispy, golden delight of tradition with this recipe. When seasoned to perfection and fried just right, these latkes capture the essence of the miracle of the oil!

Ingredients •

4 large russet potatoes, peeled

•

1 medium onion

•

2 large eggs

•

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or matzah meal)

•

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

•

½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

•

Oil for frying (canola, vegetable, or another high-smoke-point oil)

Instructions 1. Line a large bowl with a clean dishtowel or

cheesecloth.

2. Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer the mixture to the prepared bowl.

3. Wrap the grated potato and onion in the

cloth, twisting to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid and place the drained potato and onion mixture back into the bowl.

4. Add the eggs, flour (or matzah meal), salt,

and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

5. In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium-high heat until hot.

6. Scoop up a spoonful of the potato mixture

and flatten slightly to create a small pancake shape. Carefully slide the pancake into the hot oil, frying in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Fry on each side for 3–5 minutes, or until latkes are golden brown and crispy.

7. Remove the latkes from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with a side of applesauce and/or sour cream, if desired.

contributing factors to acne, specifically in teenagers.

Fried foods are typically made with high glycemic index (GI) ingredients, which can exacerbate acne for some people. For example, doughnuts are high in white flour, which is a high GI carbohydrate. Combining the carbs with the frying is a trigger for acne breakouts due to the high amount of carbs being converted into sugar in your body.

When it comes to fried foods, the type of oil matters.

Some oils are healthier than others, based on the types of fat they contain. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are considered healthier than saturated and trans fats. The following contain primarily good fats and are the healthiest choices for cooking and best suited for deep-frying: avacado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil.

I was out babysitting and one of the kids had a strange-looking wart. I knew that my mother would know just the right way to treat it…

I was lost and crying when a woman offered to help me.

Turned out that she was my mother’s seminary roommate!

Hi! My name is Shmuel Sasson. I would like to tell you a story of hashgacha pratis about the chickens I own and keep in my backyard. One day, I went inside the cage where we keep our chickens in to clean out the cage. After I was finished, I reached for the string that pulls the door open from the inside, when suddenly the string snapped! I was trapped inside with a bunch of chickens! Just then, my father came out as there was a pile of old-soggy newspapers that he had, for some reason, only noticed now! I called for help! "Help! I'm stuck!" My father came over right away and opened the door. We attached another string (stronger, of course) so the cage could once again be opened from the outside. It was true Hashgacha, that my father happened to step outside to check on these soggy newspapers just at that second that I got stuck! Thank you Hashem!

I was at my cousin’s house and I was having lunch. My tanta asked me what I wanted in my sandwich and I told her what I wanted. Turned out, that my cousin asked for the same thing and she already made 2 of them, so I didn’t even have to wait. What Hashgacha Pratis!! 🥳🥳

Kaila Teiler, 9

Once my cousin came for Shabbos. He was two years old at the time. He wanted to go outside so we put on his coat for him. Then he went outside to the backyard to play. It was shabbos so we couldn't do any Melacha. He went through the gate of the back of the yard but we didn't see him go. He went into a huge parking lot and at that moment a jewish woman found him walking really close to County line road! It was hashgacha pratis that at the moment he was about to go to county line road and the jewish woman found him just before he crossed the road and was able to bring him back to us!!!!!!!

Leah Beinhoron, 8

My father doesn’t usually walk around with cash. One time, he had a lot of cash and he wanted to deposit it in the bank. Later that day he went to two banks, but none of the ATM’s were working.

He thought to himself that probably Hashem wants him to have the money on him. That night, he went to the store to buy something that was on sale. The cashier said that since it was less than one dollar, he couldn’t pay with a credit card. Then my father remembered that he had cash on him and he was able to pay! Hashem worked it out so perfectly!

poor—barely above kindergarten level. She dislikes the small motor tasks of cutting, coloring, pasting and sewing.

Of equal concern is Naomi’s difficulty in communicating with her peers. Although she is well-behaved and articulate in class discussions, on the playground she will frequently barge in on other children’s play or conversations. She tends to say things that grate on other children’s nerves. She is surprisingly clumsy, often bumping into people and objects.

Visual-motor deficits.

Due to right-brain neurological weaknesses, students with NVLD have trouble processing visual images such as the shapes of numbers, letters, and geometric forms. [Despite some initial confusion with letters, they are able to take huge strides in reading due to their flair for language, a skill anchored in the brain’s left hemisphere.]

Their fine-motor deficits include difficulties eating with cutlery, tying shoelaces, drawing, cutting, pasting, writing, and copying

fest in short attention spans and difficulty in focusing.

Dyslexia or attention deficit problems typically show up in the first grade, and are often diagnosed by the second grade. Children struggling with these deficits are thus able to get remedial help early on in their academic careers.

This is not the case with a very different type of handicap identified by experts as a “nonverbal learning disability” (NVLD). Deficits in this category tend to slip under the radar screen until third or fourth grade, evading detection because they don’t mesh with the student’s overall profile.

NVLD students often begin school as high achievers and progress on a gifted track. As early as kindergarten, these students are seen as “little professors.” They are wonderful readers, have a gift for self-expression, and can memorize, categorize and retain information with remarkable proficiency.

These children suffer from difficulties that are not readily perceived and frequently remain undiagnosed. As explained in a recent issue of Instructor, a leading publication in pedagogy, the child with

Communication.

Experts in the field of communication believe that 65-70 percent of all information is conveyed nonverbally—with body language, facial expression, pauses and silences. Due to neurological deficits in the right hemisphere, students with NVLD often misread social cues.

They seem oblivious to others’ needs and wishes. They do not wait for an opportune moment or pause to speak up or join a conversation. They may stand too close to others or speak too loudly.

Students with NVLD also tend to be overly “concrete” and literal.

Children like Naomi do not understand abstract sayings such as “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” These children often miss the deeper meaning of conversations, especially jokes and puns.

They don’t “get it.”

Reading Comprehension As students advance through elementary and high school, scholastic demands intensify, particularly the need to comprehend the deeper meanings and nuances of literature. Rote memorization
