Parashah Vibes

Vayishlach Full Responsibility They [the shevatim] burned fiercely [with anger] because he [Shechem] had committed a scandalous act in Israel…for such a thing may not be done (Bereishis 34:7).

Regarding Shechem taking Dinah, the wording of the pasuk is perplexing. The Beis HaLevi questions why at first the act is described as “scandalous” but at the end of the pasuk it is mentioned in a milder manner, with the words “for such a thing may not be done.” The Bais HaLevi explains that the Torah wants to portray how the fact that Yaakov was one of the Avos made the deed so much more terrible. Shechem certainly knew that Yaakov was a special person, but he was unaware of the extent of his greatness. If so, why was Shechem responsible on that level? Why did he receive such a great punishment? The answer is that such an act isn’t permitted against anyone, even a simple person. The fact that Shechem didn’t know the full extent of Yaakov’s greatness didn’t exempt him. He was held accountable for his disgraceful act regardless of who it involved. These two levels of offense are alluded to in the different wording used in the pasuk. With the following anecdote, the Gemara in Bava Kama 62a illustrates the halachic ramifications of this idea: Someone gives a woman a gold coin to guard and tells her it’s silver. She then loses the coin because she’s careless. She only has to repay the value of a silver coin in such a scenario. But if she willingly destroyed the coin, she must pay its full value as gold

11/29/2023

even though she thought it was silver. This is because once she actively committed a wrongdoing, she is held responsible for the full gamut of the crime, regardless of whether or not she understood how great the crime actually was. Shechem, who intentionally committed a wrongdoing, was held accountable as if he’d had complete understanding of depth and severity of his act. If someone speaks lashon hora about a friend because he wants to lower the person’s greatness in other people’s eyes, he is held accountable. If because of that lashon hora his friend’s business suffers or a shidduch is ruined, he’s responsible for all the damage that occurs, even though he didn’t intend for any of it to happen. The Beis HaLevi brings the scenario of someone acting purposely negligent toward the rabbinical prohibition of drinking chalav akum (milk from a kosher animal that was not supervised by a Jew during the milking) and then mistakenly drinking nonkosher milk. This person is fully accountable for his sin, even though the nonkosher milk was a mistake — because he was purposeful in his negligence toward the Rabbinic law. The Aruch HaShulchan describes such an incident. He talks about several businessmen who often traveled together and stopped at an inn owned by a nonJew. They weren’t careful about chalav akum and partook of the sweet cream served to them. Once, one of the businessmen asked the innkeeper how he was always able to serve such delicious cream. The innkeeper revealed to them that he used bones from a gentile butcher, ground them with milk, and cooked

them together to make the cream. The businessmen were horrified that they had they transgressed two Torah prohibitions: that of eating treif, and of eating meat and milk cooked together. One of my relatives, who learned in Brisk, told the following story heard from his rebbe, Rav Dovid Soloveitchik, great-grandson of the Beis HaLevi: The Beis HaLevi was once caught in a terrible storm while he was traveling. He stopped at a Jewish-owned inn to rest and requested a room to sleep in. The innkeeper claimed that there was no space available. The Beis HaLevi pleaded for any area to sleep in so as not to have to brave the weather outdoors. “You can sleep in that corner of the floor,” the innkeeper said, and the Beis HaLevi agreed. When the evening hours arrived, the Beis HaLevi heard a big commotion. A famous Rebbe had arrived with his many followers. The innkeeper greeted the Rebbe and his chassidim graciously, seating them before the warm fireplace and feeding them generously. Suddenly, the Rebbe recognized the Beis HaLevi in his spot on the floor. “Heilige Beis HaLevi!” he exclaimed. “What are you doing on the floor?” As they spoke, the innkeeper realized, to his horror, that he had poorly treated a gadol b’Yisrael. He begged the Beis HaLevi for forgiveness. “I can forgive you for not knowing who I am,” the gadol told the innkeeper, “but I can’t forgive you for treating a simple person this way. Every Yid, no matter who he is, deserves respect.” The Beis HaLevi then told the innkeeper the above thought about Shechem, from his sefer. The Gemara in Pesachim 50a reminds us of the importance of respecting every single person, because what we see in this world is not necessarily an accurate reflection of someone’s true stature. Rav Yehoshua ben Levi’s son was very ill and in a coma. In his unconscious state, he saw a vision of Olam Haba. When he awoke, his father asked him what he had seen. “I saw an upside-down world,” his son replied. “Powerful men, who are at the top of our world, are not treated with respect up there. And those who are downtrodden and seem simple down here are given the utmost respect and distinction in the true world.” To this, Rav Yehoshua ben Levi responded, “My son,

11/29/2023

what you saw there was not upside-down at all. It was completely perfect.” We must take full responsibility for our treatment of others. Not knowing someone’s full greatness is no excuse to harm or hurt them. And not contemplating the full severity of a sin is no excuse if our sin is intentional. Yet, on the same note, we can affect others positively without realizing it and will nonetheless receive sechar — even for the ripple effects it causes. At a recent Lechu V’Nelcha Shabbaton for post-seminary girls, Rebbetzin Fink, founder of the organization, asked a few girls to present together as a panel. One of the questions the girls were asked was if they could describe a recent challenge that they’d overcome. One girl mentioned a recent kabbalah to say krias Shema al HaMitah at night from a siddur while fully dressed at a table so as to give it proper attention. One evening, after she was in pajamas and already in bed, she remembered that she hadn’t yet recited Krias Shema. Overcoming her natural desire, she got out of bed, got redressed, and pushed herself to sit at the table and say krias Shema from a siddur. There was a collective gasp of admiration from the audience as all twenty-five attendees marveled at this girl’s conviction. My sister, who heard this story from Rebbetzin Fink, repeated it to a group of women in her community. Some of these women told her that they tried improving their Krias Shema as a result. When my sister told this to me, she added, “I may be passing this girl daily — yet neither she, nor I, know the extent of the effect she has had.” Rebbetzin Fink intends to spread this story further, and commented that when this girl arrives in Shamayim and is given credit for all those she inspired, she will probably be flabbergasted by the many merits she accrued. Taking responsibility has serious, long-reaching ramifications — for better and for worse. May we be zocheh to steer clear from any sin so as not to be held accountable for its consequences. And may we use our capabilities to positively affect others.

The Guy Next Door Ruthie Pearlman

Chapter 13 Recap: Nachman accompanies Montague Stilton to Schindler’s Square to visit the Bernsteins. To his shock , the secretar y there says that no couple by their name has ever registered there.

Montague Stilton looked at me, and I looked at him. His gaze was suddenly no longer friendly and genial. All of a sudden, this was my fault. “Shall we take a turn around the beautiful grounds, Mr. Feld?” he said, though it was rather like him saying, “Shall I escort you to the beautiful gallows just outside?” However, as I presumed there weren’t any gallows on the grounds of Schindler Square, and I also presumed there would be other people around, or at least I hoped so, I nodded my agreement to this apparently doom-laden plan. We nodded to Seminary Teacher, who barely acknowledged us and returned to her typing. We got the feeling that if we did decide to come back, she

11/29/2023

would be even less welcoming, if that were possible. We went outside, and Montague turned immediately to the left, following a narrow path lined with flower beds that led to the side and rear of the property. My first thought was, He knows this place, but I quashed that. How could he know it? He’d needed me to guide him there. Even that could have been engineered, I thought, but I quashed that thought too. What advantage would he gain if he knew the place? So what? So I smiled and followed him round the corner of the building and into the rose garden, which was beautifully manicured and pruned, each rose looking as if it should come with one of those white net sleeves

they use at florists. That’s how perfect they were. Even the bees that buzzed around the flowerbeds buzzed respectfully.

“Why would I? You say they’ve inherited a fortune. I’m not going to get it instead of them if I don’t tell you where they are, am I?”

I waited until there was a space in the bee pollination, then bent to sniff a rose. The rather raggedy roses in our own garden had the most wonderful scent. These smelled of exactly nothing. I guess that’s what happens when you bioengineer a plant to the limit of its patience. It does what it’s told, but stops giving back its beautiful scents.

He didn’t reply to that. He just pulled out his phone and started dialing. “Well,” he said with a supercilious smile at me, “their children must know where they are.”

“Sit,” said Montague Stilton, parking himself on a wooden bench. It had a highly polished brass plaque at the back of it that proclaimed it had been donated to the rose garden by a grateful resident of Schindler Square who loved roses. His wasn’t a suggestion or a request. It was an order. I sat. I put my hands between my knees and looked downward, hoping it looked like it was in a passive, subdued way. “Can you explain what happened back there?” Stilton asked. As it was obvious what he meant by “back there” (our interaction with Seminary Teacher), I decided I’d best not play the idiot card.

He hung up and then turned to me. “It appears,” he said, “you were speaking the truth. The daughter Elisa also was convinced her parents were at Schindler Square, and she’s now considerably traumatized to find out that they have never been here.” “Well, that’s impossible,” I said. “I mean, I’ve waited weeks before visiting the Bernsteins, so I can be excused if I don’t know where they are. But surely their kids have been keeping in touch? What did Elisa say?” “She said she’s been visiting them regularly.” “In Schindler Square?” I asked.

I spread my hands, keeping them between my knees. “If you think I led you on a wild goose chase…” I began.

“She said yes, but maybe she’s been misled.” Montague Stilton stood up decisively. “I’m going back in there to tackle that receptionist. You coming?”

“The thought did cross my mind,” Montague Stilton said in a calm, polite voice that dripped ice and sarcasm in equal measure.

I was up on my feet like a soldier. I was as eager to find out what was going on as Montague was.

“Why would I do that?” I pleaded. “I came here in absolute sincerity and honesty, thinking they were here. I’m as shocked as you are. I can’t imagine why they would tell me they were in Schindler Square if they’re not.” “Maybe you did know, and you wanted to keep that information from me?” Stilton suggested.

He had some numbers in his phone already; he didn’t have to look anyone up. When he spoke to Mottel and Gittel’s eldest daughter, there was a shocked silence after Montague finished listening to them.

11/29/2023

This time he was much more direct and authoritarian. He thumped a hand on Seminary Teacher’s desk, making her jump and look up. I saw a flash of genuine panic in her eyes as she looked at him. “You’re back,” she stated bravely. “How long have you been working here?” Montague asked.

Chapter 13

“Three weeks,” she admitted, flushing a little. “Aha!” he said triumphantly. “So it is entirely possible that Mottel and Gittel Bernstein were residents here before you started.” She batted away that statement easily, as if it were a small, annoying fly. “No. It’s all in the computer. I’d know from the records. And they’re not in the records as ever having been here.” “Then how come,” Montague said with a rising air of triumph in his voice, “their eldest daughter, Mrs. Elisa Bronner, confirmed with me just moments ago that she’s been visiting her parents in Schindler Square regularly?” That fazed her. For all of ten seconds. “She must be mistaken. There’s another residential home not far from here called Schonberg House. Maybe she meant that one.” “No,” Stilton insisted. “You do hold yourself up to be the Gold Standard of Care Homes in North London, do you not?” This was easy. “Of course.” She beamed. “Then the Bernsteins should be here.” “Well, they’re not. Now, if you’ll excuse me.” She resumed typing furiously as if that was the end of the quiz and she’d scored full marks. Outside, Montague turned to me. “I still think you’re involved in this somehow,” he said. “And to that end, I am going to refuse to give you a lift back. You’re on your own. Have a nice day, Mr. Feld. You can be sure you haven’t heard the last of this. Or of me.” With that, he stalked off to his car. “Hey, you’re going to leave me here?” I called after him, shocked. In answer, he beeped his car open, got into it, started up the engine, and drove a couple of yards in my direction before rolling down his window. At first, I thought he was going to tell me to hop in, but instead he said, “Yes. I don’t believe a word you’ve said to me today, Mr. Feld. Tube station’s just down that way.” He pointed, then rolled up the window and drove off. He was right. I wasn’t exactly stranded. If London

11/29/2023

is nothing else, it’s well served with public transportation, and the tube network is the best. I started the walk to the tube station. I planned to take the tube straight in to work. No point in going home now. On the way, however, I did a bit of research and found Elisa Bronner’s phone number myself. And called it. “Hello?” came a very cautious voice. “It’s Nachman Feld,” I said, “your parents’ neighbor. Or ex-neighbor if you prefer.” She sighed in relief. “Oh, Mr. Feld, am I pleased to hear from you! I just had the weirdest phone call…” “I was with the gentleman when you told him you’d been visiting your parents regularly in Schindler Square, Mrs. Bronner,” I said. “Sitting right next to him, in fact. At Schindler Square. Where they told us they’d never heard of your parents and they’ve never been registered there.” “Oh, please don’t call me Mrs. Bronner,” she replied. “That’s my mother-in-law. I’m Elisa. I know what I told him. I didn’t know what else to tell him. He didn’t say he was in Schindler Square, so I just made out as if I were so shocked to hear they weren’t there. He caught me on the back foot.” “Oh… So…” I was so confused. I had the fallingdown-the-rabbit-hole feeling again. “I didn’t want to say the truth,” Elisa went on, “to someone I don’t know from Adam.” “You can tell me,” I said in full trustworthy-uncle mode. She might have been older than I was, but no matter. Trustworthy uncle I was. “You won’t tell that man,” she said. Again, it wasn’t a request or a plea, it was an order. “I don’t trust him an inch,” I said. “My parents never were in Schindler Square. That was all a lie. They’re in no care home at all. I can’t tell you where they are, because that would be too dangerous for them. They might even end up getting killed if anyone found them.” To be continued…

Vibes of Greatness

Reb Yisroel Friedman The Second Chortkover Rebbe (1854–1934)

Shira Yael Klein

eb Dov Ber Friedman of Antwerp, the great-grandson of Reb Yisroel, related that about a year before the death of his father, Reb Moshe Dovid Friedman (in 1988), his father was stricken by strong stomach pains to the point where he moaned, “I can’t handle the pain.”

On the one hand, Reb Moshe Dovid seemed to be in great danger and was suffering greatly. On the other hand, he refused surgery.

Reb Dov Ber, who was home alone with his father, got very scared, because his father never complained about pain. Once on the way to shul one Shabbos, Reb Moshe Dovid had even suffered a heart attack, never mentioning that his chest hurt.

The X-ray showed that he did not

“Maybe we should do an X-ray?” one doctor suggested. Reb Moshe Dovid agreed and was taken in for an X-ray.

Reb Dov Ber immediately accompanied his father to the hospital. Unfortunately, the staff there knew his father well, because he was already ill with the sickness that would eventually take his life. He would visit the hospital for treatments and blood transfusions every month. Sometimes, he would even stay for a day or two. The doctor in the emergency room evaluated Reb Moshe Dovid and immediately decided that he needed surgery. Within ten minutes, father and son were outside an operating room, with Reb Moshe Dovid writhing in agony on the hospital bed. Suddenly, they overheard the doctor tell the nurses, “This patient has appendicitis, and his appendix is about to burst at any moment. We must operate immediately.” When Reb Moshe Dovid heard this, he said decisively, “I absolutely refuse surgery!” The doctors and nurses were at a loss.

the original surgery. It turned out to be the right move, but how did you know?” Reb Moshe Dovid responded with the following amazing story: “When I was a little boy in Vienna, almost 70 years ago, my appendix gave me a lot of trouble, and I was bedridden because of it. At some point, the doctors said that surgery was unavoidable, as my appendix was liable to burst and infect my body. When my holy grandfather Reb Yisroel, the Chortkover Rebbe, heard this, he immediately came to visit. This caused a big sensation, as this was one of his only visits to my father’s house. “My grandfather sat on the edge of my bed and said, ‘You will not have appendicitis anymore.’ Then he got up and left. Obviously, my parents didn’t think of allowing me to undergo the surgery after that, and, baruch Hashem, I recovered completely.

have appendicitis. Instead, a broken bone was pressing on his stomach, causing symptoms similar to those of appendicitis. “Do you consent for us to operate on the broken bone?” the doctors asked. Reb Moshe Dovid agreed, and his surgery lasted forty minutes. Due to his weak heart, he received local anesthesia only, not general, so he was able to speak immediately after his surgery. “What happened?” Reb Dov Ber asked his father. “Why did you refuse

“Today, when we stood outside the operating room and I heard the doctor say that I needed to have my appendix removed, I knew that it wasn’t possible. My grandfather had said that I wouldn’t have appendicitis anymore! I didn’t want unnecessary surgery, and so I refused. Later, however, when the doctor said that there was a broken bone, I couldn’t object, because a break was possible, and one must listen to his doctor…” Reb Yisroel’s yahrzeit is Yud Gimmel Kislev. (Adapted from Nifla’os HaTzaddikim by Reb Yaron Amit)

Vibes of Greatness

Reb Chaim Leib HaLevi Shmuelevitz Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshivas Mir (1902–1979)

Shira Yael Klein

The beginning of Elul zeman, 1970… The atmosphere of teshuvah, tefillah, and learning in yeshivos everywhere was cut short by the news that a plane had been hijacked. Reports in the general press were laconic at first, but in frum communities the news spread like wildfire: The great gaon Reb Yitzchak Hutner was on the hijacked plane, together with his wife and only daughter, Rebbetzin Bruria David, and her husband, Reb Yonasan David. The hijackers announced that the flight had been commandeered by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Their plan was to take over three planes en route to New York. Of the three planes, however, they managed to hijack only two. The planes were flown to Dawson’s Field, an isolated runway in the desert near Zarqa, Jordan, which had formerly served as a base to Britain’s Royal Air Force. As the story continued to unfold on the media, more news filtered in. The terrorists had separated the crew members from the passengers, and split them by nationality. Most passengers were transferred to Amman, Jordan, and released. Fifty-six hostages were being kept in Dawson, and this number included Israelis and Jews. Various diplomatic and military tactics were considered and implemented

to try and free the hostages. At the same time, frum Jews everywhere did their part by saying tehillim every day. Shuls had shifts of people saying tehillim round the clock, while many hours of learning were dedicated to the release of the hostages, including the Hutners.

When Reb Chaim composed himself, he walked up to the front of the beis midrash, where he said a few short words so faintly that everyone had to strain to listen. “Before we say tehillim for the people who have been hijacked,” Reb Chaim said, “imagine that it’s your father, your mother, your sister, or brother. How would you daven if it was your family? This is what we have to be thinking about — because these Jews are our family.” And with that, the mispallelim in the Mir Yeshivah stormed the Heavens. Those who were there said that it was an unforgettable experience. On Chaf Hey Elul, three weeks after the ordeal began, Reb Hutner was released from his captivity. The other hostages were released about a week earlier.

In Eretz Yisrael there were tehillim gatherings everywhere. Reb Chaim Shmuelevitz was the rosh yeshivah of the Mir at the time, and though he was old and frail, he wanted to be a part of the tefillos. Hundreds of people had gathered in the Mirrer beis midrash to say tehillim for the unfortunate Jews in the clutches of evil terrorists, and when Reb Chaim saw the beis midrash so packed, he sat down at the back and wept. Soon enough, the beis midrash fell silent as the sound of Reb Chaim’s weeping filled the air.

Afterward, the Lubavitcher Rebbe wrote in a rare letter that the hostages were saved in the zechus of all the tefillos recited and Torah learned on their behalf. May we too be zocheh to see miracles — not by sitting back and waiting for the miracles to happen, or for the IDF to take care of everything, but by doing our part. (As heard from Reb Avrohom M. Mendelson, TorahAnytime, and adapted from Nifla’os HaTzaddikim by Reb Yaron Amit)

Chapter 13

Sunday evening. Update required. H. stared at the terse message and shivered. A.’s summons was clear. And it was just as clear to him that he and M. would have absolutely nothing to update A. about. The bugs they’d planted were malfunctioning. They hadn’t been able to pick up a single phone or in-person conversation. “He’ll still be pleased,” M. told H. later that afternoon, when the two men sat down in their apartment to compare notes. “We have a comprehensive list of the family’s comings and goings — and A. can use that list to strike whenever he chooses.” “Who says striking is his goal?” H. argued. “Maybe he wants something else with the tracking?”

Recap: Jake is absent from school, and Eli realizes that he’s come to depend on his neighbor for his schoolwork. When Eli visits Jakes later, the boys discuss the malfunctioning eavesdropping devices that Eli and his father discovered. 50

“What else could he want?” M. asked, getting up to pull the window blinds closed so that only the faintest rays of sunlight now trickled into the room. H. shrugged. “Who knows? But if striking was his goal, he’d have done so ages ago — he’s had that information for a while.” M. began to pace. He didn’t completely agree with H., as only this week had the family’s schedule settled into

a real routine. But still, the Big Boss would definitely be furious if he discovered that the bugs he’d shelled out thousands of euros to install were malfunctioning.

checking the lock on the door after his parents’ and sisters’ departures, he couldn’t help but admit that his father’s words filled him with a good feeling.

“We can always provide him with bogus phone transcriptions…” M. began, but H. stared him down, like a schoolteacher staring at an errant student.

It was nice to feel needed by someone. It was a feeling he’d been completely unfamiliar with back in Boston.

“No,” H. barked. “We need to install new bugs in that house ASAP — and then we can apologize for the technical glitch that got the original conversations wiped from the record.” “And just how are we going to reinstall the devices with the family living in their home?” M. began, but he stopped as realization dawned. “Oh, but that’s simple enough, isn’t it? On Thursday between nine and three, the house should be completely available. I’ll go in then.” *** Jake was officially well enough to go back to school. Still, no one said anything when he asked if he could have an additional day off to finish “recuperating.” Jake was so seldom sick that neither of his parents were perturbed by his request to spend yet another day at home drinking tea and relaxing. “Just remember,” Mrs. Green said as she pulled a brush through Becky’s hair and prepared to bring her to the nearby preschool. “Don’t open the door for anyone, and make sure to call my cell every hour or so to report.” “Tomorrow you’ll be all better, I’m sure,” Mr. Green added. “I’ve been hearing reports from the Katzes downstairs that their son misses you.” Jake didn’t respond, but after double-

He wondered if it was a feeling that Rachel sometimes had with regard to her friends. Either way, by tomorrow he’d be well enough to go back to school. It would only be a short day — Friday — but there would be time enough to prove his loyalty to Eli. Jake walked down the hallway toward his room, but as he passed the bathroom, he instinctively stepped inside. He wanted to check his temperature one last time before he declared himself well enough to head back to school the next day. The thermometer was on the shelf over the sink, and as Jake popped it into his mouth, he also bent over slightly to peek out of what he’d privately dubbed his “lookout window.” Ever since he and Becky had seen those gray figures in the apartment across from that window — the apartment the Katzes now inhabited — Jake would frequently bend over and peer through the window to see if there were more suspicious comings and goings. He should probably drop the habit quickly — it really wasn’t right, especially given that he now knew the family who lived there. But today, just one last time, he’d peek. Jake peeked, and his eyes immediately widened with shock. A figure in gray was definitely in the Katzes’ apartment just then, and it wasn’t one of their family members.

Chapter 13

The man in gray pulled the window shutter closed, as though sensing he was being watched.

“Hello,” Rabbi Zilberberg responded, a note of confusion immediately apparent in his voice. “Have I reached the Greens?”

Jake resisted the urge to cry out for help. Instead, pulling the thermometer out of his mouth, he began to tremble.

“Yes. It’s Jake. My father left his phone at home by mistake.”

He was only twelve years old, and he was home alone in a strange country.

“I have strep.”

Stop thinking irrationally, Jake told himself. The Katzes have every right to hire cleaning help without your permission, and maybe that’s exactly who that person is.

“Refuah sheleimah. Feel better.” Rabbi Zilberberg’s voice filled with zest and warmth. “I suppose it’s Divine Providence that I’m reaching you instead of your father, but the truth is that I’m calling to extend a Shabbos invitation to your whole family.”

Or a long-lost relative…

“A Shabbos invitation to where?” Jake asked.

But still, in hid gut, Jake knew that it was far more likely that the man he’d just seen was the very same one who’d followed him and Eli home from the Prater and the Zilberbergs’.

“To my house.” Rabbi Zilberberg laughed. “We have a festive meal every Shabbos morning, and we’d be thrilled to have your family join us.”

What to do?

Brrring! The shrill ringing of a phone jolted Jake out of his reverie. Thoughts of the man in gray were abandoned as Jake shakily made his way out of the bathroom and followed the ringing sound to the phone in the living room. His father’s phone. Apparently, Dad had forgotten his phone at home when he’d left for work earlier, and now someone was calling it.

Saturday. Shabbos. Jake’s mind began to spin. It was kind of the rabbi to extend an invite to his family, but he wasn’t really in a position to accept or reject it. Jake began to formulate a response, all the while thinking of the man in gray downstairs. And then, suddenly, the handle on the front door began to turn. Jake’s throat prepared to scream. That man in gray from downstairs…

Rabbi Zilberberg.

The Katzes’ nemesis…

The name on the screen caught Jake off guard. It was probably okay for him to answer his father’s phone if it was Rabbi Zilberberg calling, and speaking to the rabbi would take his mind off the possible criminal in the apartment on the floor beneath his.

“Jake,” a familiar voice greeted him. “You look like you’re seeing a ghost, but I left my phone at home and came back for it. Lighten up, I’m only your father, not a demon.”

“Hello,” he said somewhat breathlessly.

“Oh, and you’re home because—”

STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMUM SUCCESS Rifka Schoenfeld

DEALING WITH THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD “Tatty, this isn’t the way we usually go home. “I know, Mendy. I just thought we’d go a different way this time.” “But Ta, this isn’t the right way!” “It’s okay Mendy. This way might even be faster.” “WE CAN’T GO THIS WAY! IT’S NOT THE SAME! I DON’T KNOW THIS WAY!” “Mendy, it’s okay to go a different way once in a while.” KABOOM! Kaboom! That’s what we experience when there is an explosion. And that’s exactly what we feel like when we are dealing with an ‘explosive’ child. For those of us who aren’t really sure what I’m talking about, consider yourselves blessed. But those who know exactly what it means for a child to ‘explode’ for no apparent reason at any given time will understand what a tremendous challenge this is. It’s like living inside a simmering volcano. As one frustrated mother put it, “We are in a perpetual state of crisis.” First of all, how do we define ‘explosive’ children? After all, most children will throw a temper tantrum or ‘act out’ once in a while. Hasn’t everyone experienced the irrational youngster screaming for no good reason in shul or at the supermarket? Chances are that you, as the adult, were cringing with embarrassment. You couldn’t wait to get home. Now consider the ‘explosive’ child who acts this way on a consistent basis. Explosive children are easily frustrated, demanding, and inflexible. When things don’t go their way, they react with violence and rage. Their siblings are afraid of them. Their parents are terrified of setting off the next outburst. They have an impossible time holding on to friends. And, like Mendy, they can erupt in tantrums, kicking, screaming, sudden outbursts, verbal and physical aggression, in response to relatively benign situations. It makes a parent feel both helpless and angry at the same time. Helpless at the thought of having no control whatsoever over the situation. And angry that your child insists on behaving irrationally and well beyond acceptable modes of behavior. So what’s a parent to do? First of all, we must understand that this is nobody’s fault. And just as you’re not in control of what’s going on, neither is your child. Children are ‘explosive’ because of a variety of reasons having to do with their brain chemistry,

11/29/2023

their inability to absorb levels of frustration, and their inability to react in a certain manner. Living with an ‘explosive’ child is not a pleasant situation, to be sure. But if we try to understand what makes this happen, we can begin to work on minimizing the eruptions and helping the child behave more like a normal kid. Dr. Ross W. Greene PhD wrote the classic parenting guide to dealing with explosive children. He offers a new approach to understanding and parenting easily frustrated and chronically inflexible children like Mendy. His work is important for parents of explosive children who want to help their child. But it’s also filled with good ideas for parents of any child who is sometimes stubborn, unyielding, and prone to frustration. Dr. Greene understands the pain of parents who are actually fearful that an explosion will erupt at any moment. “Mental health professionals,” he says, “have bestowed myriad diagnoses on these children. However, a simple label doesn’t begin to exlain the upheaval, turmoil, and trauma that these outbursts cause.” Imagine that you were planning a pleasant outing with your family. You were going to have a picnic in the park, but when you woke up that morning it was raining and you just couldn’t go. Your children would be disappointed, to be sure, but they would probably eventually adapt to the situation and agree on a different activity. The explosive child can’t do that. He lacks the ‘skills’ he needs to process the information and handle the disappointment. Instead, he breaks into a tantrum and begins to scream. It’s not making him happy. He just doesn’t know what else to do. Of course, most of us would become frustrated ourselves when dealing with this behavior. We start reasoning with the child, but that doesn’t work. Then we raise our voice, we set down rules, we threaten, and sometimes we even engage in a shouting match with the child. All of these methods are self destructive. They simply don’t work. Dr. Greene suggests a refreshingly different approach. He lays down two important rules. One -- think clearly. Two -- stay calm. Sounds easy, right? But when you’re caught in the middle of an explosion that’s out of control, especially when you’re in public, it’s not easy at all. In fact, it’s one of the hardest things that we, as parents, can do. Now here’s what we shouldn’t do. One -- never turn the explosive situation into a power struggle.

Consider the story of Mendy and his father. It could have gone something like this:

a different snack instead of ice cream. Do you have any other ideas, Sureleh?”

“Tatty, this isn’t the way we usually go home.

“Oh, I don’t know. Just call the store already before it’s too late.”

“I know, Mendy. I just thought we’d go a different way this time.”

Notice how Sureleh’s mother empathized with her daughter and ‘walked her through’ the thinking process. She validated Sureleh’s disappointment by verbalizing it. Then she offered alternatives to eating the ice cream. This technique works well for kids like Sureleh because they don’t have the emotional maturity to come up with these alternatives themselves. Yet when a parent offers the solutions, it calms them down considerably to the point where the explosion is very often completely avoided.

“But Ta, this isn’t the right way!” “It’s okay Mendy. This way might even be faster.” “We can’t go this way! It’s not the same! I don’t know this way!” “Mendy, I’m the driver, and what I say goes. This is the way we’re going home and I don’t want to hear any more about it!” Kaboom! “Mendy, I command you to stop this right now! I’m counting to three and if you don’t stop screaming, you will be severely punished! 1... 2... 3...! Mendy, stop it right now!! Clearly, this method of controlling Mendy’s behavior is going nowhere fast. If anything, it’s just escalating the tension and making an impossible situation even worse. Now let’s consider the other option that many parents use. And that’s no-no number two -- Never give in to all of the explosive child’s unreasonable expectations. Back to Mendy -“We can’t go this way Ta! It’s not the right way!” “Okay, Mendy, calm down. See? I’m making a U-turn right now and getting us back on the other road. We’ll go the regular way, just like you want to.” Giving in to Mendy might relieve the tension for a short while. It may even avoid a really ugly temper tantrum. But it won’t solve a thing. It’s only a matter of time until some other situation comes up, one which may be impossible to give in to, and you’ll be back at square one in no time. So what’s the proper way to deal with this type of behavior? First we have to understand what’s causing it. If we can recognize the fact that kids like Mendy can’t respond properly to the cognitive demands being made, we can try to ‘walk him through’ the situation and help him formulate a better response. It’s like his brain is ‘locked’ and he can’t think things through logically. So we’re going to have to unlock his brain and do the thinking for him. Here’s what I mean. Let’s say Sureleh wants an ice cream, but there aren’t any left in the freezer. The scenario might go something like this: “I want my ice cream NOW! I want to have it! I have to have it!” “Okay, Sureleh. You want your ice cream. I understand that. Why? What’s up?” “I’m very hungry!!” “I see. You’re hungry and you want ice cream. But you can’t have any because the freezer is empty. And that’s making you angry. I think I know what we can do. Maybe we can call the store and see if they’re open late tonight. Or maybe we can eat

Sureleh’s mother’s solution might sound simplistic, but it isn’t. It also may sound easy to adapt, but believe me when I tell you that it is not. Once the explosion is well under way, these children are already out of control and kicking and screaming. Parents feel a little silly repeating the child’s request and offering solutions like some kind of a robot while this emotional outburst is going on. It doesn’t matter. If we persevere, put in the effort; continue to follow this plan, in the end chances are good that the explosions will decrease dramatically. The goal is for him or her to eventually be able to process the solutions he needs to handle difficult situations all by himself. I’ve seen explosive children benefit greatly from this type of intervention and I’m a tremendous advocate of Dr. Greene’s approach. Using this technique can bring wonderful results. What’s really nice about it is that it’s not uniquely effective with explosive children. I’ve seen successful results when it’s utilized with any child who decides to throw a tantrum or become generally irrational and uncooperative. I welcome any parent who wants help in using this technique to contact me. I’d be happy to explain it in detail. Living with an explosive child is frightening, frustrating, and overwhelming. But when we stop and think that the child is pretty unhappy, and probably plenty scared, about what’s happening to him, we see things differently. If we understand the issues involved and deal with them correctly in a consistent manner, half the battle is won. Now back to our friend Mendy -“Ta, we can’t “go this way! It’s not the same! I don’t know this way!” “Okay Mendy. You want to go the other way. I understand that. You don’t know how to go this way and I can see that it’s making you angry. I think I know what we can do. We can continue to go this way, because it’s faster, and you can see how it gets us home on the GPS system. Or you can call Uncle Moish on the cell phone and ask him if he knows how to get home this way. That way you won’t be so angry. Do you want me to set up the GPS for you now? Or do you have any other ideas?” “Oh never mind. Let’s just get home already!”

Emperor Penguin

ָ ‫עמּפעראר ּפענגווין‬

The majestic emperor penguin is the largest of all 17 species of penguins, measuring up to 4½ feet in lengthheight and weighing almost 100 pounds. It is renowned for its agonizing winter experience. Each winter, when it’s dark in Antarctica, and temperatures fall to -70, the father emperor penguin endures these harsh weather conditions. While the mother returns to sea to forage for food, the father protects an un-hatched egg beneath itself, starving, huddling together with other penguins (so as not to freeze), and losing half of its body weight.

Healthy Vibes

CBT/COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY You may be wondering how a nutritionist even become interested in emotional eating and ways to approach it. Don’t nutritionists discuss what to eat and maybe at most when? Well yes, they do but if that’s ALL they do then they’re not really fully getting to know people and they’re missing a huge component of WHY people eat. Spoiler alert: people don’t ONLY eat when they’re hungry! I used to naively believe that as long as I gave people the right foods and portions to eat, they would do as I say, lose weight, and live happily ever after! Once I became in tune with all the other thoughts, emotions, reasons, etc. that people eat I began to take an interest in the beliefs, thoughts, emotions, logic (or sometimes lack of it) etc. I started looking into different research and theories behind it and found that there were as many theories and schools of thoughts as there were food options in the supermarkets. For some time I was put off by all the confusing and conflicting information. Instead of studying it from these sources, I started doing my own unofficial research since I had the best data: tons of real life clients and one on one interaction with them. My data was good. It helped me understand my clients better and I gathered many helpful tools to give to them. However, I still wanted a method, a system, a consistent school of thought… I realized that the only one I would relate to would be the opposite of fluffy. I’m all for inspiration and motivation but if it’s not accompanied by practical and useful tools, I’m out. Inspiration only lasts so long. Same for motivation. I feel this way about anything: Marriage and parenting classes, a shiur, a course… anything. I strongly felt (and still feel) that in order to do well long term at anything one wants to change, we must learn practical tools along with understanding our why. At this point I still had not found the perfect way but I did take an intense life coaching course since I felt like I was life coaching close to 50 percent of the time. The life coaching course helped me understand my clients even more. A few years later there was a course being offered by Judith Beck in Philadelphia. She was well known in the emotional eating world as someone who uses CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) as her method and the author of several CBT books on this topic. The course was to be given over 2.5 days ending 30 minutes before a Winter shabbos (In Philadelphia). I invited my staff and their families and we turned it into a staff Shabbos. We had the husbands and kids drive in on Friday and hold down the fort while we ran in 10 minutes before candle lighting! But it was so worth it. Not only did we learn the CBT method and techniques, we got to meet and hear from the original source.

Healthy Vibes So… what IS CBT? Well, let’s cover what it ISN’T. CBT is NOT magic Even if you pay all the money in the world, it won’t work unless you work on it. CBT is NOT quick. It requires getting to know yourself, monitoring yourself, assessing your thoughts and behaviours… all this takes… time! CBT is NOT the same as therapy. Whereas therapy delves into your past and childhood, CBT focuses on the here and now. CBT does NOT blame anyone CBT gives you ownership of you… it tells you that you are the sole owner and director of your thoughts and behaviours and that they CAN be changed.

away but rather learn how to understand ourselves better and have tools to use. LET’S DEFINE IT What IS emotional eating ? In short it’s eating for any reason other than hunger but the official acronym is: HALT which stands for: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Over the years I have also added B for Bored, F for Foodie, and S for stressed. Food/eating is an addiction: There’s no denying that food and the act of consuming the food are addictions. It also is a very common addiction, why? 1. We’re conditioned since we’re young kids. Boo boo? Here’s a lolly Brave at the dentist? Here’s Nosh (how ironic)

What is the goal of CBT with emotional eating ?

We are conditioned to associate being made to feel better with food.

To understand ourselves better when it comes to emotional eating.

2. It’s cheap. Not only is junk food cheap, food in general is cheaper than any other addiction so there is no need to borrow for it or take away from other necessary expenses.

To learn which tools and practical skills we can master to help us. Learn and use the connection between your thoughts, beliefs, and actions What are some goals I have when giving group workshops on this topic and working with clients one on one?

3. It’s easily accessible. It’s not illegal. It’s available right in our own homes, at simchas, in school, in shul, and pretty much anywhere we go.

NORMALIZE versus SUGAR COAT:

4. We need to eat to live. As opposed to other addictions, we actually need food to live.

Why? because… EMOTIONAL EATING IS NORMAL! I normalize it not because I want to sugar coat it and make you feel better but because it truly IS normal.

5. Food provides instant gratification. There is no need for it to “kick in” or increasing the “dosage”. It’s instant pleasure and gratification.

TOGETHER versus ALONE

6. The only addiction that people actually encourage us to continue without even realising they’re doing so. Everyone is always telling people to eat more and commenting when they aren’t eating. Think about the two opposing reactions someone who is fressing at a wedding versus someone who isn’t eating at a wedding gets. Spoiler alert: the fresser doesn’t get a single comment while the one not eating gets lots of comments. If this example doesn’t speak to you, just think of your bubby equating love with food and getting insulted when you don’t eat.

Gain support from others in a group setting versus therapy which can be lonely. PRACTICAL versus FLUFFY clear practical tips you can pull out of your back pocket versus inspiration only. IMPROVEMENT Versus MAGIC Not to treat this or wave a magic wand and make it go

Farm Fiasco Chashie Stern

ith winter on its way, some of you might want to get in those last licks of gorgeous fall foliage, and what better opportunity than visiting your local (or not-so-local) farm? Picture it: Brilliant sunshine stretching across rolling hills, delighted children frolicking in a rainbow of leaves, hayrides and apple picking, and, if you’re lucky, a few cows or sheep thrown in for good measure. Can you see it? When we were deciding what to do for our last family trip, that vision flashed instantly across my mind — together with some cows and sheep thrown in for good measure. Farms are a favorite destination of mine, and along with a few other maternal rights — like getting to steal hangers from my kids’ closets, and taste-testing from serving platters before they go on the table — comes the right to choose a family trip every now and then. So when we finally set out to this incredible farm I’d heard about, it was with anticipation and unbridled glee that I forced encouraged my kids to sing the “We’re Going on a Trip” ditty a few times over, hoping some of my enthusiasm would inevitably spill over onto them. Because, obviously, farms are places where kids can have good, (semi)clean, safe fun. Right? Of course! Well, when my little ones spotted those kiddy wagons that I always feel bad refusing but in all my parenting years have never rented because who wants to

pull a wagon when we have a semi-working stroller, this time I said, “Sure! Why ever not?” because I was in such a jolly, farmy kind of mood, and mostly because when I asked the question of who would actually pull that thing with two kids in it, the older kids eagerly obliged. So into the stroller went the shopping bag with the snacks and water bottles and sun hats and sunglasses — which we bring just in case one of the kids sees another kid holding a snack or water bottle or sun hat or sunglasses and wants their own. And then into the wagon went my husband’s water bottle, because — as we quickly learned — the little ones didn’t want to actually sit in the wagon , they just wanted to pull it. And my husband, of course, wanted to get his money’s worth. In the hour that it took to move a few yards ahead, we got to hold adorable chicks and pet bunnies and feed goats. And guess who pulled the wagon after that? Let’s just say it wasn’t the kids. So we walked a little further and a little faster and came to the sack slides and trampolines, which were a ton of fun, and then I turned to my husband and graciously offered, “Why don’t I go ahead and bring this wagon back to the entrance so we don’t have to pay another three dollars for a wagon we’re clearly not doing anything with other than trying to remember to schlep it wherever we go? And I’ll get the lunch bag from the car too.” To which he said, “Are you sure? I can go,

and you can stay here with the kids.” In an uncharacteristically magnanimous and independent gesture that I will forever regret, I responded, “No, thanks! I’ll take it myself.” But my magnanimousness stopped short when one of us (not my husband) noticed that one of my middle children was missing. Not the big ones whom you ask for help, not the little ones whom you’re always watching, but one of the middles — those notoriously good at figuring out how to get lost. After panicking for several moments, I pulled myself together (somewhat) and said, “When I take the wagon, I’ll look around and check if there’s a lost and found or something!” And I did look all around, while schlepping the empty wagon through the crowds and across the farm, all the way back to the entrance. But I didn’t see my son. I also didn’t notice that the paved path I was walking on had begun to slope steadily downward. Faster went the wagon, and faster went my tired legs — but not fast enough. To my utter consternation, the recalcitrant handle slipped right out of my grasp, and down, down, down flew the wagon toward a very long line of unsuspecting patrons awaiting their turns for a slow, boring, farm sort of ride. So with bulging eyes and a pounding heart, I ran and ran and ran after that heedless wagon and begged Hashem for any other

We need to talk...you're not alone...

outcome than the one that was clearly about to happen. Maybe the sea of people could split, and the wagon could plunge into a grass clearing instead of barreling into the Hallmark-card-worthy grandma and grandpa who stood laughing with their little granddaughter as they slowly turned around at my wild call of, “WATCH OUT FOR THE WAGON!” All at once, everything in the world froze — besides for the metal wagon that bolted into the granddaughter, the little kid standing right next to her, and the tears that fell from both their eyes and mine. “I am so sorry about that!!” I blurted. “Is everyone okay? I didn’t mean to let go of the wagon, it just kind of…escaped. And my husband has an EMT bag in the back of our car in the parking lot, I can totally go get it if you want, even though I’m about to pass out from shame and exhaustion and just plain horribleness. So maybe you should get the EMT bag. In fact, here are my keys. Or maybe just keep our whole car and all the junk in it as compensation for all the trouble I’ve caused, and—” The adults merely picked up their crying little girls and gave me funny looks that seemed to say, Just go away because you’ve caused enough trouble. So I gathered my wagon and brought it, beet-faced, to the wagon-collector’s stand, where I poured out my whole sorry story to the poor lady, because I needed to tell someone. How does everyone else get their wagons back without them flying down the path and crashing into innocent bystanders

— and, by the way, lady, have you seen my son?! It was as she looked at me with sympathy, and perhaps a little suspicion, that I turned around and spotted my son. Looking almost as lost and dazed as I felt. In my gratitude and shame and overwrought imagination of all the things that could have happened but didn’t, I just wanted to go back home to my bed and hide under my blanket for a thousand years. But instead, I schlepped myself to the car for the sandwiches, which I surprisingly remembered after the whole fiasco, and finally returned to the rest of our family, who was waiting back at the far end of the farm for me to bring our missing sandwiches and child. Now, you might be wondering why I’m writing this story in a humor column instead of a horror column. Well, when I finally approached my hungry and relieved family and unloaded the bread and peanut butter and long, detailed account of why I suddenly appeared fifty years older, they looked at me with wide eyes and straight faces. And then I noticed my husband’s shoulders bobbing up and down in visibly restrained laughter that was, apparently, contagious. And when my entire family finished gagging on their mirth, I said, “I’ll have to find someone else who will listen.” So thank you, dear readers, for listening. And feel free to join us on our next trip to the farm! If you dare, that is.

Bracha Shifrin

Bruschetta offers vibrant flavors and textures that you’re sure to savor with each bite. From its crispy baguette base to its refreshing topping, the deep notes of balsamic vinegar and aromatic hints of garlic and oregano in this grilled bread make it a true Mediterranean delight!

•

Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling

Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each one with olive oil. 3. Toast in the oven for about 5–7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. 4. Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven while still hot, and rub a clove of garlic on the top of each slice to infuse the bread with a gentle garlic aroma and flavor.

5. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix to ensure that the tomatoes are well-coated.

‫שמחת החתונה לנכד הגר”מ וואלפסאן אב”ד אמונת ישראל‬ Wedding for Grandson of Hagaon Rabbi Moshe Wolfson of Emunas Yisroel ‫ שלומי שווארץ‬:‫צילום‬

By: Chaim Gold

Kiddush Hashem Across the Globe as Tens of Thousands Take First Amud HaYomi Test. “A colossal kiddush Hashem, were the words that came to mind when I observed the first Amud HaYomi test last week,” related Rabbi Moshe Fisher, Co-Director of Dirshu’s operations in North America, in describing what he saw at multiple testing sites in Brooklyn. “What I saw on the night of the bechina in Brooklyn and what I heard later from those who were at other sites all over the world, was a kiddush Hashem of tremendous proportions. Yidden just came and came and came, wanting nothing more than to be tested on their knowledge of Hashem’s Torah. They wanted a kinyan in Hashem’s Torah and what shone through perhaps more than anything was a tangible love for Hashem’s Torah. The ahavas haTorah that Klal Yisrael has displayed since the onset of the Amud HaYomi and that culminated in the excitement of taking that first test on the first fifteen blatt in Shas, is the greatest tribute to the nitzchiyus of Klal Yisrael,” concluded Rabbi Fisher. In fact, Rabbi Yitzchok Spigelman, Co-Director of Dirshu, North America, related, “When I came to Yeshiva Ketana of Lakewood, one of the four Lakewood testing sites, it was long before the test was slated to begin and already a large crowd was waiting outside in anticipation to take the test. At that moment, I realized that this is not just another Dirshu test, this is a revolution in progress. A Torah revolution!” In truth, there are no words to describe the huge response to the beginning of the new Amud HaYomi program. Even Dirshu’s hanhala, who have seen numerous massive growth spurts over the years, were flabbergasted by the world-wide response as untold thousands gathered all over Eretz Yisrael in testing centers from Tzefas in the North to Be’er Sheva in the south. The entire North America and Canada, Europe, England, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, France, Holland, even Gibraltar, as well as Argentina and Australia all had a massive uptick of new participants. In Eretz Yisrael alone there were more than 900 testing sites with people of all ages, all types and stripes gathering to take the test. Tens of thousands of people took the tests! Yes, you read that right, 900 testing sites and tens of thousands of test-takers, an absolute record! From Nebraska to Hadassah Hospital! The Amud HaYomi program began with daf beis in Masechta Brachos this past Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan. In the course of that first month, hundreds of new shiurim opened all over the world, taking even the hanhala of Dirshu by surprise. In far-off Nebraska a shiur takes place in the Solomon’s Shechita Plant where the shochtim, bodkim, menakrim and mashgichim sit down every day for their Amud HaYomi shiur. In Eretz Yisrael, there are over 500 shiurim with hundreds more in America and Europe. There is even a daily shiur in the shul of Hadassah Hospital! Another amazing aspect of watching the first test was the sight of such a wide range of people! “Mena’ar v’ad zakein!” exclaimed Rabbi Avigdor Bernstein, a senior member of the Dirshu hanhala in Eretz Yisrael. “Boys under bar mitzvah were sitting alongside great-grandfathers with long white beards who needed the aid of a cane to walk. They were all there. Ashkenazim and Sefardim, Chassidim and Yeshiva types, baalei battim and kollel yungeleit, all united by the Torah and a program that enables them to comprehensively and systematically go through Shas with a plan.” “I was at the main Boro Park testing site,” Rabbi Moshe Fisher relates, “and within a half hour after the test began, I realized we would need more space then was available in the main Munkatcher Beis Medrash. We therefore opened the basement where hundreds more were able to take the test. I looked around and couldn’t believe my eyes. I saw

two chassanim in the middle of sheva brachos taking the test and several children under bar mitzvah. Seeing literally hundreds of people coming in an out of that test site with smiles and visible sipuk hanefesh showing true spiritual satisfaction, was deeply gratifying.” At A Chasuna… In the Army… A Disabled Bachur… And the Stories are Pouring In! Numerous stories of perseverance and heroism have made their way to Dirshu’s office, poignant stories offer that insight into how the Amud HaYomi is having a transformative impact on all of Klal Yisrael. Recently Dirshu received a call from a father of a disabled bachur who is learning the Amud HaYomi but finds taking a test in Hebrew difficult. The question was whether someone could translate the questions for him and would he be permitted to write the answers in English. A mother called Dirshu’s office with a request, “I have three bachurim ages 13, 14 and 17, who are all planning on taking the test. They have been learning so hard for the entire month. Dirshu has a policy that they hold in an escrow account all the money earned by bachurim who take the test to be given to them when they marry. Can an exception perhaps be made because these bachurim worked so hard and having the money in their hands might give them chizuk?” Another father called to ask if the Amud HaYomi test can be sent to him because he has a son who had not yet been accepted into a yeshiva who is learning the Amud HaYomi at home every day. “My son is embarrassed to be seen in public and wants to know if he can take the test at home.” There is a yeshiva in Monsey where almost the entire yeshiva took it upon themselves to learn the Amud HaYomi during their free time. The yeshiva called Dirshu to ask if perhaps the tests and a proctor could come to the yeshiva, so that the bachurim would not have to leave yeshiva and go to a testing site. There is a Rosh Yeshiva of a religious Zionist yeshiva located in Yehuda V’Shomron who decided that every day during bein hasedarim he would deliver an Amud HaYomi shiur to the talmidim. When the Israel Army started calling up reservists for the present war, he was among those called. His task is not in combat, but he is involved in an integral engineering area. That Rosh Yeshiva has been giving the shiur to his talmidim every day via zoom. Iyun Ha’Amud is a Gamechanger Another amazing innovation that has seen success above and beyond anyone’s dream is the comprehensive, gevaldik kuntress called Iyun Ha’Amud compiled by great talmidei chachomim that Dirshu has published and distributed. The kuntress, designed to assist the lomdim of Amud HaYomi with their learning, includes the pages of the Gemara, explanations and supplements, marei mekomos and practical applications of the halachah, as well as the basic “reyd” on each sugya. It also offers “sikumim”, small encapsulations of each sugya to assist lomdim in remembering the important parts of each sugya. Rav Bernstein relates, “It is very important to note that the tens upon tens of thousands of people who have come to take the test, represent only a small percentage of those who are actually learning the Amud HaYomi. Our internal statistics have shown that for every person who takes a test, there are some eight times that number learning the material in the program, but not taking the tests.” The ‘Buzz’ That Can Protect Klal Yisrael! Rabbi Bernstein said, “It is clear that in the world of Torah, the ‘buzz’ today is Amud HaYomi. The Amud HaYomi has truly become the nachlas haklal, the inheritance of all Klal Yisrael. It is our fervent tefillah that the zechus of the Amud HaYomi will continue to protect Klal Yisrael!”

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!

My brother bought me an invisible ink marker for my birthday with a little light that you shine on the writing in order to read it. When i put my pants in the hamper at night i forgot that i had left the light in my pocket. A little later my mother saw a little marker in my closet and asked me what it is, because she never saw it before. I told her its the invisible ink marker my brother bought me. When i saw the marker i remembered about the light and that its still in my pocket! I ran to the laundry room to get it and it was just in time because my mother was about to do that load of laundry! It was hashgacha pratis that she asked me about the marker just in time for me to get the light before it got ruined in the washing machine!

Congratulations to our winner!

I lost my grammar notes and I was nervous because I knew I needed it for that day. Then by recess my sister came to change dictionary with me and I went to bring her mine and guess what I found ?! They’re under my dictionary was my notes! 🥳🥳

One Sunday my family was bored. We decided to go to A local crafts store. I was very upset Because that store doesn't really have anything for my age. Near the Crafts store there's a clothing store. In the store I was looking around trying to make the best of it. Then my sister asked me if I wanted to go to the clothing store. I said yes. Because I really need a shabbos outfit. So we went and I saw that there was a sale and I found the perfect outfit that was on sale. 🥳🥳

I'm sure you all experienced (at least once) the excitement of traveling on an airplane. My family was getting ready to go to Eretz Yisrael. We all piled into the van and off we were! We arrived at the airport and unloaded the car heading to go online. You can't imagine what long lines were. We were waiting and waiting and waiting. It was half an hour to our flight and we still hadn't checked in. We all began saying tehillim. Finally, it was our turn and the man told us that the flight was closed. Meaning there's no more checking in and we sadly had missed our flight. We all turned around literally heartbroken. Was it for real? Was our flight really just canceled? I even noticed tears streaming down my younger sister's face. Turns out that our flight that we wanted to go on but was cancelled had to make an emergency landing in Ireland. We truly see Yad HaShem in this story!
