Leora Gruen

Vayeitzei Accessing Our Kochos ):‫— ויגש יעקב ויגל את האבן מעל פי הבאר (פרק כ”ט‬ Yaakov drew near and rolled the rock off the mouth of the well.

seemingly miraculous act, however, was neither a change of nature nor a miracle.

When Yaakov reached Charan, he saw a well with

questions why Yaakov didn’t roll off the stone before he saw Rachel. It was tzaar baalei chaim to keep the sheep waiting, as they were extremely thirsty.

many flocks of sheep waiting to drink. Yaakov asked the shepherds why weren’t watering the sheep, and they replied that they had to wait for all the shepherds to convene. They explained that the rock covering the well was too heavy for them to move without their combined strength. As he was speaking with them, Yaakov noticed Rachel approaching with Lavan’s sheep. At that point, he rolled the stone off the opening of the well by himself and provided water for the sheep.

koach sufficiently and therefore didn’t even attempt to remove the stone. But when he saw Rachel bringing Lavan’s sheep, his kochos were awakened, and he was able to tap into his potential.

Rashi quotes the Midrash that describes how

Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz explains that Yaakov’s

effortlessly Yaakov removed the stone: “‫כאדם‬ ‫ להודיעך שכחו גדול‬,‫שמעביר את הפקק מעל פי צלוחית‬ — like one who removes a cork from a vial.”

Rashi explains that this lets us know that he had

tremendous strength. In fact, we mention this in our tefillos for rain on Shemini Atzeres, and we ask for water in the merit of Yaakov’s deed: “‫ בעבורו אל תמנע מים‬,‫יחד לב וגל אבן מפי באר מים‬.”

The Ramban explains that the Midrash cannot be referring to Yaakov’s great physical strength, as he was extremely tired from his journey. Rather, his power resulted from connecting with Hashem. Additionally, Yaakov’s strength wasn’t a result of a change of nature or a miracle. The Gemara in Shabbos 53b brings examples of a man who nursed his newborn baby, and the son of a Tanna who prayed for his figs to ripen so he could feed his father’s workers. Both were taken to task for changing the nature of the world. Yaakov’s

Rav Shmuel Birnbaum, the rosh yeshivah of Mir,

11/22/2023

He explains that at first Yaakov didn’t value his

merit was because of his yichud lev, his intense focus and dedication that enabled him to access strengths generally beyond human reach. In fact, this was the same determination that enabled him to learn for fourteen years straight at Yeshivas Sheim Va’Eiver without ever going to sleep.

We see this from the beginning of the parashah,

where the pasuk emphasizes that he slept “in this place.” Rashi explains that the words “this place” exclude the fourteen years he hadn’t slept, when he was completely dedicated to his learning. And from the fact that he slept here on a stone, we deduce that for those fourteen years he slept neither on a bed nor even a stone.

This intensity and strength are something we hear about even in our days. A number of years ago, a single uncle of mine

living alone didn’t show up to shul for a few days.

After attempting to reach him by phone and not succeeding, my cousin went to his house to check on him. The door was locked, and no one answered his persistent knocking. My cousin walked around, looking through the windows, and was shocked to see my uncle laying unresponsive in the kitchen. With strength he didn’t know he possessed, he bent the bars protecting the windows, smashed the glass, and rushed in to help him. Recently, Penina, a senior in my community,

inspired me with her story. When the war started in Israel, the seniors’ club she attended had to close indefinitely. Penina started receiving numerous phone calls from women stuck at home, alone and fearful. All Penina wanted to do was climb into bed under her covers and ignore the world. After all, she too has health issues, and, in addition, she was trying to help her son and family living in the war zone. Despite her lack of strength, she was determined to help. She spent hours coordinating with the police, fire department officials, and emergency services, until finally the city municipality agreed to reopen the seniors’ club. I asked Penina how she’d found the strength to do this. She responded, “I couldn’t leave my ‘sisters’ in pain alone. I pushed myself to my limit to change the situation.”

There doesn’t have to be a dramatic emergency or war to activate this determination. Rav Shmuelevitz explains that this strength is

something any of us can achieve. It’s a huge mistake to despair of reaching greatness by claiming it’s beyond our capabilities. With desire and focus toward our goal, we can access the unlimited potential available to any of us.

How can we incorporate this idea to enhance our

everyday lives? The following is a tried and simple technique that has resonated with hundreds of women around the world. On a regular day, we tend to focus on all we have

not yet accomplished and on the never-ending tasks that need to be finished. Right now (or at the end of the day if that’s a more conducive time for inner work), think about something you did recently that you’re proud of, and write it down. What was the “success” you experienced?

This is a completely personal exercise. It doesn’t

have to be something “big.” Perhaps you sent your children off with sandwiches and snacks in the morning. Perhaps you put supper on the table despite all the

myriad things going on.

Maybe you didn’t manage to do what you wanted,

but you kept your cool, said a nice word, or smiled at someone.

There’s always something you can find. If you’ve gotten to this point in this article, then you’ve read a few Torah thoughts today. Give yourself credit for that! Don’t be put off by the word “success.” It seems like a big word, but it shouldn’t stop you from noticing even the tiniest glimmer of good you’ve done. When you’ve found something, great! Let’s take it to the next level. Using the following list, or any of your own ideas, choose at least two strengths you displayed in the action you described. Here are some ideas to get you started: Emunah,

organization, empathy, chesed, positivity, generosity, compassion, gratitude, humility, leadership, determination, courage, humor, happiness, focus, flexibility, creativity, patience, love for a fellow Jew, etc. Thank Hashem for the ability He gave you to access this strength, and ask Him for help to continue. You may even want to tell your story to a friend or family member to receive validation or to add to your list of strengths. Try keeping a journal for a week. Every day, describe

an incident, and then name two of the strengths you activated there. When you give your strength a name, it becomes easier to tap into its potential and use again in the future. Review your list at the end of the week, and if you can, continue. In the future, when you enter a situation that requires you to push yourself just a bit more than usual, look back at your journal and know that you too can access tremendous strengths.

Vibes of Greatness

Reb Shneur Zalman of Liadi The Alter Rebbe/The Baal HaTanya (1745–1812) Shira Yael Klein

The Alter Rebbe was the first Lubavitcher Rebbe. When he was ready to print his masterpiece, the Tanya, he chose a press in far-away Slavita. However, there was another printing press closer to him, in Shklov. Why, then, did he go out of his way to have the Tanya printed in Slavita? The bibliographer Reb Chaim Lieberman (1890–1963) addressed this question, offering different answers at different times. First, in an essay about the Jewish printing press of Shklov, he surmised that the Alter Rebbe didn’t want to use it because in those years Shklov was still a bastion of misnagdim. Additionally, the quality of printing in Shklov at the time was low. Eventually, however, Reb Lieberman heard and accepted the chassidish story: that the Alter Rebbe printed the Tanya in Slavita, the publishing house of Reb Moshe Shapira, out of hakaras hatov to Reb Moshe’s father, Reb Pinchas of Koritz, one of the Alter Rebbe’s mentors.

and hired him to teach his children for the next two years. In the meantime, he remained with Reb Moshe Gittels in Vienna, claiming that he still had some things to take care of there. Together, the two Reb Moshes wandered around the city, but they did absolutely nothing. Reb Moshe Shapira simply had faith in

The Rebbe told him, “Do not travel to St. Petersburg. Go to Vienna instead. There you will meet a melamed by the name of Reb Moshe Gittels. He will take care of everything for you.” Reb Moshe traveled to Vienna. With much effort, he found Reb Moshe Gittels, 26

11/22/2023

The bachur eventually left yeshivah and went on to learn in university. Later, he converted to Christianity and got a fine government position, where he rose in rank until he became an official in St. Petersburg. “Because you rescued me from that embarrassment, I contribute my success and my current position to you,” the official said. “I want to reward you handsomely so that you won’t have to work as a melamed anymore.” “Thank you for your generosity,” replied the melamed. “But I already hired myself out for the next two years to the Jew from Slavita who was with me in the city park, and I cannot go back on my word.” Hearing this, the official summoned Reb Moshe Shapira to his lodgings as well and heard his story about a publishing license. “I can take care of that for you,” said the official. “Just give me the necessary documents, and I’ll take them with me to St. Petersburg and send you the license.”

The Alter Rebbe gave Reb Moshe the right to print his sefarim and sell them, and Reb Moshe became very wealthy as a result. In those days, a new law was passed that obligated every publisher to obtain a publishing license from St. Petersburg. Reb Moshe set out to St. Petersburg for this reason, but on his way, he took a detour through Liozna to visit the Alter Rebbe.

saving him from contempt and ridicule.

his Rebbe’s words. One day, a government official spotted the two men sitting on a bench in one of the city’s parks. The official recognized Reb Moshe Gittels and requested that he come and visit him in his lodgings the next day. When they met, the official reminded Reb Moshe Gittels that they had learned together in yeshivah in Vilna. There, the yeshivah-barchur-turned-official had been made to stand in the koneh (a place set aside to shame miscreants). Reb Moshe Gittels had set him free, thus

Reb Moshe followed his orders, and within a few days he received the publishing license from the official. On his return trip to Slavita, Reb Moshe again stopped on the way to see the Alter Rebbe. “Nu, Reb Moshe, do you regret listening to my advice?” the Rebbe asked him. The Rebbe generally endeavored not to perform visible miracles, but in this case he made an exception for the son of Reb Pinchas of Koritz.

Vibes of Greatness

Reb Shlomo Luria The Maharshal/Yam Shel Shlomo (1510–1573) Shira Yael Klein Reb Shlomo Luria was born in Posen to Reb Yechiel Luria, the rav of the Lithuanian city of Slutzk. Reb Shlomo Luria was a prominent Ashkenazi rav, posek, and rosh yeshivah in multiple cities and yeshivos, including Brisk and Lublin. He wrote several sefarim, including Yam Shel Shlomo — a halachah sefer, and Chochmas Shlomo — on Gemara. He is known as the Maharshal, an acronym for “Moreinu Harav Shlomo Luria.” Reb Yisrael Avraham Stein, zt”l, the av beis din of Paltishan, recounted that his rav, Reb Meir Shapiro, once visited the library of the Imrei Emes of Gur, which contained many ancient and valuable manuscripts. There Reb Meir Shapiro saw an ancient manuscript entitled “The Community Ledger of Lublin.” As the rav of Lublin, Reb Meir Shapiro was very interested in the ledger. He examined it and found that the Maharshal had recorded the following amazing tale. The husband of a woman from Lublin went missing, and the Maharshal strove to free her from the chains of igun. He found a heter for her to remarry, but some other gedolim disputed that heter, paskening that she still had the status of a married woman and thus could not remarry. The woman, however, accepted 28

11/22/2023

the Maharshal’s position, and remarried on the basis of his heter. Right after the wedding, as the couple prepared to go home, the woman’s young and healthy new husband died. The whole city was in an uproar. The supporters of the rabbanim who’d forbidden the woman to remarry pointed to the death as a divine sign that the rabbanim had been right, and that the Maharshal had erred. But the Maharshal knew that he had paskened correctly. He had to set the matter straight. Taking a piece of klaf set aside for safrus, the Maharshal began to write: “To my friend the malach Matat, head of the Heavenly Academy…” The Maharshal summarized all that had transpired, concluding his letter with the words: “Because the Torah is not in Heaven, and I rule with the strength of Torah that this woman may remarry, I command you to bring this man back to life. Your friend, Shlomo.” The shamash took the klaf and went to the grave of the deceased second husband. To everyone’s shock, the man came back to life! He climbed out of his grave, walked out of the cemetery, and went to his new home, alive and well. His new wife, who had seen him dead, was freaked out by this

occurrence. How could she live with a man who had just been dead? The Maharshal thus took action again, and, as he relates in his story, “I davened to Hashem that He should make the incident be forgotten.” And so it was. All residents of the city, including the woman, forgot that the man had died and come back to life. They behaved naturally toward him, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened… To conclude the story, the Maharshal writes, “I wrote this story to have a record of it, so that it won’t be forgotten. And the second miracle — of everyone forgetting what happened — is greater than the first miracle of the man coming back to life.” Reb Yisrael Avraham Stein heard this story many times from his rebbe, Reb Meir Shapira. Once, he told it to Reb Aharon Kotler, who was amazed, as the story strengthens our faith in chachamim and in the power of Torah. When the opportunity arose again, Reb Aharon Kotler asked Reb Yisrael Avraham to tell him the story again. The Maharshal’s yahrzeit is Yud Beis Kislev.

Chapter 12

The Guy Next Door Ruthie Pearlman

Chapter 12 Recap: Debbie and Nachman discuss installing sur veillance cameras to keep tabs on Xavier. When Nachman is alone at home, a man comes by with questions about the Bernsteins. He says he represents an inheritance firm and the Bernsteins have just been bequeathed a large sum of money. Nachman of fers to accompany the man to Schindler Square to see the Bernsteins.

“I…” I hesitated. I had a lot of work waiting for me at the office. But then again, this was my law practice. If I wanted to take the morning off and lost business as a result, it was my problem, no one else’s. And right now, I was more curious to see what Montague Stilton wanted from the Bernsteins. “I have work,” I continued finally, “but I can spare an hour or two.” Montague Stilton (I still found the name highly amusing) put up his hands in a don’t-let-metrouble-you type of gesture. “I’m sure I can find the home by myself if you’ll only tell me what its name is,” he said. “No need for you to sacrifice precious time from your office.”

11/22/2023

I felt jolted, like someone had used a cattle prod on me. I hadn’t told him what I did for a living. How did he know I worked in an office and didn’t, for example, clean drains? Then I pulled myself up short. Don’t be stupid, Nachman Feld. Look at the way you’re dressed in a sharp suit and tie, and the briefcase you’re carrying. Do you look like a guy off to clean drains? And then I added to myself: He didn’t say from “your law office” — that would have been too much of a jump. He just said, “from your office.” I smiled broadly, hopefully hiding all my misgivings. “Nah, I told you, it’s about time I visited the Bernsteins myself anyway. And as I’m my own boss, I can take some time off if I want to.

Chapter 12

Shall we go?”

and the car drove off.

His car out front was like something out of a dream I’d had forever and wanted to own, but knew I never would. The upholstery was deep, soft buttery leather. You just sank into it, yet it supported you like a friend. I wondered how difficult it would be to get an unwanted guest out of these seats. Probably nigh on impossible.

“Don’t tell me she drives the car as well?” I asked. “You just sit there, and she takes you where you want to go? Is that how this works?”

A huge multimedia touch screen seemed to almost drive the car. He spoke at it, and it answered in a female silky voice that could have soothed me to sleep in less than ten seconds. “Like the car?” Montague Stilton asked me, preening as he talked to the huge multimedia screen. The screen talked back, even though the question had not been directed at her. “Of course, I like the car, I live here,” she said in her silky voice. I burst into a laugh at the incongruity of the situation, and she said, in a pricklier tone, “What’s so funny about that? How would you like to live in this car?” Ah, I thought. Now she sounds exactly like my Debbie. Montague Stilton turned to me. “Mr. Feld,” he said loudly, just to ensure that Silky Voice didn’t answer instead of me. “You’re going to have to give me an address or some kind of indication where this place is so she can work out a route.” Cornered. I had to. So I did. Silky Voice said, “Hmm, I’m not sure I know that address. Will you hold on a moment while I check my database, please?” I could almost see the wheels turning in her AI brain. “I think I have it now. Are you ready to go?” “Yes, thank you,” Montague Stilton said fawningly,

11/22/2023

“No, we aren’t quite that advanced yet,” Montague Stilton said. “But that sounds like my next car. Maybe I’ll sell you this one when I buy it. Would you like this car? It’s getting a bit…worn round the edges for my liking. I think I’m ready to trade it up.” “I’d love to buy it from you,” I said enthusiastically. “I might even be able to afford it secondhand. How much would you be asking for it?” I almost said “her,” but I just managed to stop myself in time. I could just envision myself gliding around Golders Green in this little beauty, with Silky Voice giving me directions as all my contemporaries gawped in envy. I could also see Debbie taking a hammer and chisel to it within about five minutes of hearing her satiny tones. He mentioned an eyewatering sum that shattered my dream into a zillion crystals of broken glass. Even if I sold the house and we all moved into the garden shed I wouldn’t be able to afford that. And I’m only exaggerating some. “Secon hand?” I gasped. “What was it new?” Eye-watering sum times two, apparently. Forget it. Stick to your simple little car that takes you from A to B — eventually — and use the GPS that comes with your phone. No multimedia panel for you, Nachman Feld. I smiled at him and shrugged. “It’s a deal never to be repeated,” he pressed. “Better that way,” I said. “It’s way, way out of my league. I’ll just relax and enjoy the ride.”

Chapter 12

All during the journey to Stamford Hill, Silky Voice continued to give him directions, including diversions to avoid heavy traffic. I was mesmerized. I wanted this car. I wanted Silky Voice in my life, murmuring directions in my ear as I drove. It was as far removed from my own reality as life could ever get. But, hey, a guy can dream, can’t he? I was trying to work out what exactly Montague Stilton wanted with the Bernsteins. The very motion of the car was lulling me to sleep, it was so gentle, so smooth, so— “Ah, we’re here,” Montague Stilton said, pulling up. “You have arrived at your destination,” Silky Voice said. “Why do you need an old age home, though?” “None of your business, cheeky thing,” Montague Stilton admonished, switching off the engine. “Er…I’m not sure you can park here,” I pointed out worriedly, looking at the double yellow lines everywhere. For me, every parking ticket meant fewer nights out with Debbie. Montague beamed at me. “So I’ll get a ticket. So what? It’s all factored into my salary.” I shrugged. This kind of wealth was totally beyond me. I got out of the car, trying to act as if traveling in this kind of luxury was part of my lifestyle. Schindler Square was a functional large building with neatly kept gardens all around. Montague spent a few minutes wandering around the perimeter, taking stock of the surroundings, as if he was planning to buy the place. Maybe he was, I don’t know. “Right,” he said eventually. “Let’s go in and find the Bernsteins, shall we?” Well, that is what we came for, I thought, but I said nothing. Inside, there was a worn reception desk, behind which a middle-aged woman in a dowdy wig sat typing on a computer. She wore glasses and looked like a teacher in a seminary. Not that I knew what

11/22/2023

a teacher in a seminary should look like, but you get the idea. “Can I help you?” she asked without looking up from her computer. Which was a feat in itself. “Yes,” Montague said imperiously. “We wish to see Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein. They are residents here.” Seminary Teacher stopped typing whatever she was typing and clicked with her mouse a few times, then said, “Which Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein? We have four couples here with that name.” “Mottel and Gittel,” I put in helpfully. “They moved in only a couple of weeks ago or so.” More clicks. “We have an Avrohom and Sarah Bernstein. A Sucher and Freidel Bernstein. A Yishai and Devorah Bernstein. And a Gershon and Esther Bernstein. That’s it.” She resumed typing. “What? You must have Mottel and Gittel Bernstein,” I insisted. “They’re new, maybe they’re not in the system yet.” “What’s their address?” Seminary Teacher asked, never stopping her typing. I gave it. “No one of that address has registered here,” she said firmly. And she did the desktop computer version of slamming the lid of her laptop down. She banged hard on her desk with her mouse, making me jump. Even Montague Stilton jumped a bit. “This is Schindler Square?” I asked in a last-ditch attempt to climb out of the rabbit hole I felt we were inexorably falling in. Seminary Teacher looked up at us for the first time. “Of course. Where do you think this is? And I can tell you, Mr.… Mr.…whoever you are, that we do not have a Mottel and Gittel Bernstein here, nor have we ever had them. I wish you a very good day.” To be continued…

STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMUM SUCCESS Rifka Schoenfeld

THE TYRANNY OF OCD With Pesach behind us, what better time to take a closer look at the annual burst of intensity that propelled us, in the weeks and days leading to the yom tov, into frenzy cleaning? That sustained embrace of scrupulous cleaning offers insight into a subject that lately received a great deal of attention in psycho-educational literature. The topic, OCD, obsessivecompulsive disorder, might be understood by comparing it with that exhausting endeavor from which many of us are still recovering. OCD is an anxiety disorder that strikes both children and adults. It is a form of “brainlock,” where distressing thoughts pop up in a person’s mind and refused to be banished. The anxiety they generate compel the person to perform certain rituals meticulously, again and again, until they are done “right.” OCD is often manifested by a preoccupation with arranging things in a very particular way; excessive cleaning or checking things ad infinitum; irrational fear of germs and contamination; asking the same question repeatedly when the answer is known; touching things a certain number of times; counting before executing the simplest action and many other rituals. How does OCD differ from a normal drive for cleanliness and order in one’s life? To hark back to Pesach-cleaning, to insist on moving the stove and refrigerator to search for elusive crumbs would not qualify as “compulsive,” or “obsessive.” A once a year endeavor, this effort is inspired by an uplifting sense of purpose. But imagine a housewife who, in a quest for absolute spotlessness to allay OCD anxiety, is driven to similar exhausting measures every single day? Such is the terrible burden of OCD, whose rituals are usually hated and dreaded by the sufferer due to their utter meaninglessness and consuming nature, yet impossible to set aside.

11/22/2023

The disorder is far more disabling than people realize, and consumes untold hours and outputs of energy. Unlike ordinary worries and obligations, OCD obsessions and compulsions do not go away even when the demanding rituals are faithfully carried out. In fact, these actions tend to increasingly dominate a person’s life. They take inordinate amounts of time, may interfere with a person’s daily schedule and cause significant distress. Observing a person engaged in the rituals of OCD behavior would be enough for most people to regard him unstable. OCD sufferers know this. Fearful of being shunned as crazy, people suffering from OCD go to great lengths to hide their symptoms. In children especially, the fear of being ridiculed, or regarded as weird exacts a terrible price in self-esteem and the need to maintain secrecy. Because OCD compulsions and obsessions gradually increase and encroach further on a person’s life, life for the victim can become unbearable. The rituals of repeatedly washing off invisible dirt, for example, or counting a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room, or tying one’s shoes six or eight times until they feel “right,’ begins to get more involved and consume even greater amounts of time. Psychologists explain that trying to suppress the compulsions and obsessive thinking by sheer will power doesn’t work. It produces so much anxiety that the person surrenders to the urge or becomes haunted by other obsessions.

OCD BEHAVIOR IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS Recognizing the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder may be challenging, as the symptoms can easily be misinterpreted as willful disregard, oppositional behavior or immaturity.

Often, a parent or teacher only sees the result of the symptom such as hours in the bathroom; extended dallying in the bedroom; inability to finish assignments, or tantrums when the child cannot do something his or her way and is overwhelmed with anxiety. If left untreated, peer relationships, school functioning, and family functioning all may suffer, cautions Dr. Edna Foa, author of Stop Obsessing! OCD is usually not outgrown. If left untreated, it follows its victims into adulthood, as the following excerpt from a personal memoir illustrates.

THE MONSTER AND ME In, The Monster And Me, Rena Galloway remembers starting to line up her toys when she was five. At eight she was lining up her shoes several times a day, the books in her school bag and the items in the medicine closet. At nine, after her parents divorced, her compulsions spread to the pantry. She lined up cans of food in alphabetical order, with all the labels facing in one direction. “What are you doing in the pantry so late?” my mother called from her bedroom, making my hand jerk in fear.” “Just looking for something for lunch,” I managed. “At this hour? But I made your lunch already, you saw me make it.” “I know. I just wondered if there were any raisins left. I’m in the mood for raisins.” “Enough of this nonsense! Go straight to bed!” She thought I was being impudent. I was exhausted and longed to go to sleep.. I couldn’t allow myself to go to bed until I had completed arranging the pantry shelves. If I didn’t, I’d lie awake for hours, fearful of something bad happening to my family. I waited in bed for a half hour until I was certain she was sleeping and then crept into the pantry and finished arranging the cans. Only then did I finally go to sleep. This happened three or four nights a week over many months.

OCD AT HOME Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder at home are often more intrusive than school. Life for the child and family can become stressful, and all family members may feel powerless to change rigid patterns of behavior At home, children with OCD may display a combination of the symptoms listed below. Repeated obsessive thoughts. Unlike ordinary worries, these obsessions (such as fear of becoming fatally ill) are not generally realistic. Often the

11/22/2023

child may deny these behaviors, or be embarrassed by them. ∙Repeated actions to prevent a feared consequence (such as repeating certain words, tapping objects or counting to certain numbers to ward off danger to oneself or to a family member). ∙Consuming obsessions and compulsions The child or adolescent is continually preoccupied with these fears (for example, he avoids nearly all contact with objects due to fear of contamination, or washes hands for hours). ∙Extreme distress if others interrupt a ritual Children may kick up extended tantrums if a parent insists that the child discontinue her ritual. ∙Difficulty explaining unusual behavior Children with OCD may not be able to explain what their worries are or why they feel compelled to repeat their behaviors. ∙Attempts to hide obsessions or compulsions Children and adolescents are often ashamed of their worries or strange habits and will make great efforts to keep their thoughts or rituals a secret. ∙Concern that they are “crazy” because of their thoughts Children with OCD may recognize that they think differently than others their age. Consequently, these children have low self-esteem.

AT SCHOOL The differences in behaviors seen at home and school can be significant. At school, students may be successful in suppressing symptoms, while they may be unable to at home. Families often seek treatment once symptoms affect school performance. At school, a child with OCD may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: ∙Difficulty concentrating which may affect his ability to follow directions, complete assignments and pay attention. Concentration can be derailed by repetitive thoughts that come of their own volition. Finishing work in the appropriate time can be difficult, and starting schoolwork can be difficult, too. ∙Perfectionism A child with OCD may have impossibly high standards of perfection; may spend most of his time erasing and starting over. The child may be almost paralyzed by the inability to

WHAT CAUSES OCD? OCD was long assumed to be purely psychological, the mind’s reaction to overly-strict parents or abnormal emphasis on cleanliness. Scientists now believe it is the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. “OCD tends to occur in families, meaning there is a genetic component. However, scientists believe that it takes a stressful event for the condition to activate, and exposure to various scenes or stories can aggravate it, said Dr. Swedo, in Science News. OCD is the mind’s way of trying to impose control in one’s life when events feel out of control, she said. Research has shown that OCD is triggered by the way the mind handles messages about fear and doubt.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT– WHAT’S INVOLVED? ∙CBT is recommended for children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In CBT, a young person is helped to identify obsessive thoughts and compulsions and what triggers them.  ∙With younger patients, personifying the obsessions (for example, “Germy” to describe the fear of germs) allows children to “fight back” against the thoughts or behaviors that create barriers between themselves and peers or family activities.  ∙CBT focuses on changing behaviors by “exposure” and “response prevention.” “Exposure” works by having

the patient, under the therapist’s guidance, confront the obsession without resorting to the ritual that is meant to allay anxiety. The patient refrains as long as possible from surrendering to the compulsive urge, weathering the panic and anxiety the delay causes. For example a ten-year old girl named Miriam could not fall asleep at night without calling out “Good night, Mommy!” two, four, six or eight times. Sometimes, she would have to add “Sleep well!” an equal number of times. If her mother refused to respond, she couldn’t fall asleep. Miraim’s therapist helped her break these compulsions first by getting her to talk and even joke about them. They rehearsed the nighttime calls and talked about what would happen if she kept them down to first four ,then two a night, and then one. Slowly, Miriam was able to practice “response prevention,” reducing the calls without feeling unbearable anxiety. One night she fell asleep without a single extra “Good night, Mommy!”  ∙Individual psychotherapy may be useful for young people with OCD, particularly when they have ongoing stressors in their lives that make symptoms worse. Children with obsessive-compulsive disorder often carry a sense of failure, as if the illness was their fault. In many cases, they know that their disturbing thoughts and rituals are generated by their own mind, which can increase their self-blame and shame. Individual psychotherapy can help young people become aware of and address these feelings.  ∙Parent guidance sessions can help parents to manage their child’s illness, identify effective parenting skills, and learn how to function better as a family despite the disorder. Family therapy may be beneficial when issues are affecting the family as a whole. “OCD is a like a greedy tyrant,” says Dr. Taussig. “The more you surrender to it, the more it takes over your life. But once you expose the obsessions for what they are, you drain them of power.” She has posted a plaque on one of the walls of her office that encapsulates her approach to this daunting anxiety disorder: Know your enemy For once he’s known He’s nothing but a humbug A tyrant dethroned.

Chapter 12

“You still have another five equations left to go.” Herr Dreyer’s words should have jolted Eli out of his reverie, but instead they caused him to yawn. He and Abba had been up for ages at night searching the house for more bugs — and their search had paid off. They’d found ten in total. Strangely, however, all of them seemed to be malfunctioning, a fact Eli couldn’t make heads or tails of. The appearance of the bugs had prompted Eli to tell Abba about the man in the Mercedes-Benz, who was probably the same man that he and Jake had seen that day at the Prater, who had been with another man, who might have had a gun, who may have been a bad guy, who might have…

Recap: Eli overhears his father discuss apparently classified information over the phone. Then, as Eli debates whether or not to tell his father about the strange men whom he encountered during the day, they discover a malfunctioning listening device in their kitchen. 50

11/22/2023

Abba hadn’t seemed overly concerned with Eli’s report about the men who might have been tracking him, but then again, he hadn’t seemed too concerned about the appearance of listening devices in their home either. Eli needed to discuss the situation with Jake. But, unfortunately, Jake was absent that day. Which meant that beyond Eli’s espionage troubles, he now had school troubles as well. How would he get through a day of school and German classes without his American translator there to pave the road for him?

GLATT GESHMAK

Chapter 12

Apparently, necessity can be the father of many great things, for somehow Eli managed to finish the school day with only a minimum of chastisements from his other teachers. His classes on Gemara and Jewish thought, taught by Rabbi Marcus in Hebrew, were notably the only exceptions, as they were the only classes given over in a language he fully understood. With the ring of the bell at four o’clock, Eli leaped out of his seat with a tremendous sigh of relief. “Heading home?” asked Fred Stern, a boy whom he’d grown friendly with. “Yup.” “I’ll join you, then.” The two boys fell into step easily, conversing in a mixture of English, German, and Hebrew. “You’re usually not available to walk with,” Fred pointed out as the boys left the school building, “Yeah, I guess I usually walk with Jake. We’re neighbors.” And I need his help during class. Fred made a face, making obvious his feelings regarding Eli’s choice of friends — or friend. The expression made Eli bristle. Jake was more than just a neighbor and school aid — they were actual friends, and it wasn’t right of Fred to make fun of him. Conversation with the Austrian boy grew silted after that, and it was with mutual sighs of relief that Eli and Fred parted ways. As Eli turned onto the block of his apartment building, he noticed Rachel and Lillian nearing the building. If the girls were still out despite having finished school twenty minutes earlier than the boys, it was probably because they’d gotten immersed in yet another animated conversation. As usual.

11/22/2023

“Hi, Eli.” Rachel waved. “How’d school go?” Eli shrugged. “Bad. I needed Jake.” But I can’t just need him. A friendship is supposed to be about being friends, not about the things I need. I’ll have to show that to Fred. He turned to Lillian. “How’s Jake feeling? Why didn’t he come to school today?” “He had a sore throat and fever in the morning,” Lillian said. “My mother told him to stay home and that she’d take him to the doctor.” Jake probably had strep, which meant it would be another day, at least, until he came back to school. Another day of floundering Another day of undiscussed suspicions. Another day of other boys drawing him into their circle. But if Eli were a true friend, then he’d have to go over and visit. That’s what real friends, everywhere, did. The following afternoon, Eli listened to Lillian tell Rachel that Jake was no longer contagious, and that was the clincher. After procuring permission from his mother to go over to the Greens, Eli took the stairs down two at a time. He wondered if anyone, aside from a sick Jake, would be home. To his surprise, the door was pulled open by none other than Jake’s father. Apparently, diplomats at the American embassy finished their workday far earlier than diplomats at the Israeli embassy. Abba wasn’t due home for another hour at least. “It’s so nice of you to come and visit,” Mr. Green said, pointing toward Jake’s bedroom and motioning for Eli to head down that way. It was with a faint stirring of discomfort that Eli followed Mr. Green’s directions. The last time

Chapter 12

Eli had visited Jake’s room, he’d been unsure of what to make of the clearly antisocial boy. This time, though, he was on the road to considering Jake a real friend. And he also needed his advice badly. Knock. Knock. There was the sound of a croak. “Who’s there?” Jake’s voice called out weakly. “Me. Eli.”

There was a moment of companionable silence. Jake coughed and went back to reading, but then Eli cleared his throat. He was in the Greens’ house as a friend, but he was also there on a mission. “Actually, Jake, there’s something I wanted to talk to you about. I need you to focus”

“Oh. I’m sick you know.”

Jake instantly closed his book and sat up straight. “About the trackers?”

“I know.” Eli pushed open the door and stared at a pale-looking Jake lying on his bed. He was reading a book, just as Lillian had said he would be.

Eli nodded. “Two nights ago, my father and I found at least ten listening devices in our house. But the crazy thing is that all of them were malfunctioning.”

“Sit there.” Jake pointed at a chair at the far end of his room. “It’s not good to sit near me, you might get sick.”

Jake’s eyes grew large. “So it’s true. Your family really is being followed.”

Eli thought wryly of the contagion that Rachel had said her brother had shed. Apparently, Jake had different ideas. No surprise there really. “Uh, okay,” Eli said, sitting down about six feet away from his friend, COVID-style. “How are you feeling?” Jake shrugged. “Dunno. Like I have strep, I guess. Why’d you come?” “Well, uh, to visit you, to see how you’re doing, and…” Eli stopped talking upon noticing the title of the book in Jake’s hand. “The Thinking Jewish Teenager’s Guide to Life,” he read out loud automatically. “You got that book from Rabbi Zilberberg, no?” Jake nodded. “Yeah. It’s fascinating. You can borrow it when I’m done” Eli stared at Jake, wondering for a moment if perhaps Fred was right. Jake was different. But different didn’t make him bad. And Eli was

mature enough to be able to accommodate a friend who thought slightly differently from him. “’Kay,” Eli said. “I’m glad you like it.”

11/22/2023

“Yes, but my father isn’t worried.” “And you are?’ Eli wrung his hands. “Maybe. I don’t know.” Jake was silent, apparently processing the avalanche of information. “If your father isn’t worried but you are, then it’s probably because your father knows who’s behind the malfunctioning eavesdropping bugs, and you don’t.” “But I also want to know who’s behind them,” Eli said. “Then maybe I won’t be as worried.” “Or maybe you’ll be even more worried.” “Maybe.” Jake smiled. “You know what? Worried or not, we definitely have a mystery on our hands, and if we work together and gather as much information as we can, then we might have a full story to present to your father. A story that will put an end to all of this and get rid of the bad guys once and for all.” To be continued...

B.N. Spetner

SPLATCHES of PAINT Life for me, here in Israel, has been feeling a little out of control lately. And if you’re anything like me, then you can probably identify with that feeling. So maybe now is the time to lean into the unknown, let go, and see what Hashem wants to happen. When I sat down for this project, I had no idea how therapeutic it would be. Art is so much fun, and letting go of the results was a way of letting Hashem guide me to see the beauty of just letting life flow. By letting go in your crafting, you will beautify both your home and heart. It will also help you work on letting go of the way you think your life should turn out. Instead, may you draw comfort in what Hashem wants to happen.

Materials ·Acrylic paints

·A blow dryer

Any color will do, but be sure to have lots of white handy, as this will be your base.

preferably one that you don’t care about (Even a plastic straw will do!)

·Glue and water

·Gloves

or an acrylic pouring medium — Acrylic pouring mediums are popular items at art supply stores. If you opt to use glue, use a ratio of 1 ½ parts glue to 1 part water, mixing until a heavy, cream-like consistency develops.)

(Nice to have on hand, but not strictly necessary.) ·Cups ·Toothpicks

·Dowels or wood or a large egg tray to prop up the canvas for faster drying ·Drop cloths or even parchment paper to protect your work surface (There will be splatter!)

Step #1 Lay your canvas on your drop cloth, ensuring that a fair amount of space around your work area is protected from splatter.

Step #2 Use a plastic knife or popsicle stick to mix your pouring medium with the acrylic paint colors of your choice, pouring each color + glue mixture/medium into a separate cup. I recommend starting with three colors, though you can definitely do more.

Step #3 Pour some paint into the center of your canvas. I recommend using white as a base, but any color will do. Pour each successive color in a puddle or swirls, one on top of the other. The bottom layers of your paint should spread to the edge of the canvas, but if they don’t, add more white paint and small bits of color as you go all around, until the entire canvas is covered. Another way to do this craft is to layer all the colors in a cup, Here too it’s a good idea to start with white as a base and to then add more colors. After layering all the colors in the cup, you can mix them gently with a toothpick for a swirled look. Or you can leave them as is, as letting go is really the goal here! When you’re finished preparing your cup, pour its contents generously over the canvas.

Vibes of Craft

Step #4 Holding your blow dryer at an angle so that it doesn’t hit the paint, blow gently around the edges of your canvas. You can play around with the effects of the final product by adjusting the drying speed. I found that moving the blow dryer around varied the direction of the paint and changed the way the colors dispersed. Ripples of fun color developed in this step, and when I held the blow dryer straighter, more of a drop effect emerged. Have fun moving the blow dryer around, but do be careful not to touch the paint. (My blow dryer accidentally touched, and though the painting wasn’t ruined, my blow dryer needed a good cleaning afterward.) If you don’t have a blow dryer or don’t want to use one, use a plastic straw to blow the paint around instead. Or don’t blow at all and simply tilt the canvas around!

Step #5 Stop! This is a fun craft, but beware that it is addictive. You’ll surely want to try the craft on more than one canvas (I found that the ratio of paint bottles to canvases was about one large bottle per 20x20 canvas), but you can find other items in your home to try this out on too. When you’re done, leave your canvas to dry for a few hours. If puddles form, those can be used in another craft, but you’ll have to first send feedback about this project to the editor before I share that project idea! Please take photos of your craft sand send them in! We’d love to see your beautiful creations. And if you have questions or comments, be in touch, as we’d love to help.

Happy painting, everyone!

As the turtles emerge (left photos) and begin making their way to the sea (upper left photo), the meal begins in earnest... Eagles, birds and several of the above-mentioned animals shadow the turtles, waiting for an opportunity to pounce. Despite that, some turtles manage to avoid their predators and glide into the open ocean (center photo). However, the danger isn’t over yet. Though adults are barely preyed upon-besides for the occasional attack by some sharks and whales-large fish try to eat young turtles. The leatherback turtle is finicky with its food, eating mostly jellyfish (upper right photo) and a bit of other sea creatures with a soft body. It migrates thousands of miles in search of its food. One of the deepest divers, leatherback turtles have been found at the incredible depth of 4,200 feet! They can stay there for over an hour, but generally remain for only 3-8 minutes.

The Golden Dove Rabbah bar bar Chanah forgot to say birkas ha-mazon. What now? Stop!!! Time to eat!!!

The following incident took place when Rabba bar bar Chanah joined a convoy of camels on his way to Mechoz.

Men! Let’s continue on our way!

Oh no, I forgot to say birkas ha-mazon. What do I do?

If I tell them I forgot birkas ha-mazon, they’ll tell me that Hashem is everywhere and I can recite the blessing wherever I am… I have an idea!

Excuse me, but I left a golden dove at the place where we ate.

Instructions 1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).

Carrot Soup

With its harmonious blend of root vegetables, zucchini, and spices, this dish offers both richness and depth. Whether you’re looking for a cozy meal on a chilly evening or a nutritious boost, this carrot soup is sure to delight!

Ingredients 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves of crushed garlic 1 red pepper, diced 7 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1 potato, peeled and cubed 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed 1 zucchini, peeled and sliced Salt, to taste Ground black pepper, to taste Garlic powder, to taste Paprika, to taste Turmeric, to taste Chili flakes, to taste (plus extra for garnish) Vegetable broth or water to cover the vegetables Pareve creamer (for garnish) Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish) Pumpkin seeds (for garnish)

Instructions 1. In a large pot, over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). 2. Add the crushed garlic and red pepper, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Add the carrots, potato, sweet potato, and zucchini. 4. Season the vegetable mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, and chili flakes. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices. 5. Pour vegetable broth or water into the pot, making sure to cover all the vegetables. 6. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer for about 45 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender. 7. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender or stand blender to blend the soup until creamy. For a stand blender, be cautious and let the soup cool slightly before blending, filling the blender only halfway. 8. Serve the soup warm, ladling it into bowls. Drizzle with pareve creamer, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and additional chili flakes. This pairs great with crusty bread or a salad. 120

Writing Contest I missed the bus, and then I saw someone who really needed my help… 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!

It was the end of a long school day and we were waiting to be dismissed. That day, my Rebbe decided to learn a little more so we ended up getting out later than usual. I left the school building to go wait at the spot where my mother picks me up and I see right where I usually stand a major accident had occurred just moments before. I realized the Hashgacha Pratis instantly! If we had been dismissed at the regular time, I would have been standing right in the place the accident happened. I would've been hit by broken parts that went flying from the cars and I could’ve been badly hurt. It was clearly the learning that protected us and the amazing Hashgacha of Hashem.

Shloimy Kaufman, 12

Congratulations to our winner!

One day I arrived at school and realized that I left my napkin collection at home. I was in a dilemma about what to do, should I run home and get it or should I just not have it and be embarrassed when the other girls trade? I decided not to go home because I might be late for class. It turned out that just that day none of the girls in my class brought their napkin collection to school. Thank you Hashem!

My father asked me to make a Potato Kugel. I cut some potatoes and put them in the food processor. Then a potato got stuck!! so I stuck the tip of the knife in the food processor, and the tip got cracked off!!!! I felt bad that I ruined a good knife. I started cutting more potatoes and the knife got stuck halfway through the potato, so I put a lot of pressure on the knife. It Cut the potato and went straight in between my thumb and index finger!!! now I know why Hashem made me crack, a good knife so I can be saved from deep cut. Thank you Hashem!

David Schweky, 12

In my class, we usually have a break between two of our subjects which many girls use to go out and unwind from the stresses of school. It was beginning to get a little out of hand so my teacher said that if anyone needs to leave, they shouldn’t go by the break but rather should do so by Mincha. It just so happens , that on that day I needed to go out so I went to my teacher and asked to go out but she didn’t let. Since there was nothing else I could do I just sat down and we resumed learning. All of a sudden, I heard my name being announced over the loudspeaker– I was being called to the office. I jumped out of my seat and ran to the office. The secretaries gave me an envelope and on the way back I was able to do whatever I needed to. Thank You Hashem for arranging everything so perfectly!
