Maimonides ignored his cries of pain. When a fifteen-year-old patient with severe pain in both ankles sought medical care at Maimonides Medical Center, doctors said everything was okay – the teenager was good to go home. After two more days of excruciating pain, the patient’s family knew they needed to seek answers and better care. Columbia / Presbyterian Hospital diagnosed the patient with two broken ankles, had to perform a complex surgery requiring titanium screws, and the patient endured months of being wheelchair-bound.

Is this the care our community deserves?

‫והייתם לי סגולה‬ ‫מכל העמים‬ In Mitzrayim's shambles, the sun casts its light, as fear holds, makos have past. In awe, locals gaze, respect arose for Jewish people's faith amidst their woes. A Yid strides forth, his heart alive with joy, to connect his soul to its source. His eyes aflame, his spirit ready to perform the mitzvah in Hashem's name. Behind him lay the worst; the darkest hour, for Hashem's promise echoes. Tonight they'll flee the bonds of pain, embrace the dawning of a freer life. To tell his family, he runs, the Geula is here, their hearts will embrace. With joy, they gather 'round, redemption begins. In every generation, we stand tall, hearts with love, our faith withstood. To do mitzvos, whole and true, in complete oneness with Hashem. As Hiddur Mitzvah shines, the beauty of our deeds, forever. Oh, Yid, walk proud, rejoice, your spirit free, for Hashem is forever by your side.

Brother, I see you. Others see us as different, but in truth we have more in common than what sets us apart. You know me like no other and sense when I am happy or in pain. In daylight, I see a twinkle of joy in your eye. We share smiles and laughter and together we sing and play. At night as I lay in the dark, I sense a brother who gets me. Together we share the same dreams, and together we’ll grow side by side.

We are not so different, you and I.

(Re: Shopping and Struggling, Inbox, Issue 178) I read the letter “Shopping and Struggling” last week, which requested of storeowners to hold themselves back from raising prices as much as they do. The argument was that since markups are based on percentages, perhaps they should instead pass savings to the customers instead of profiting. In defense of the stores, while it is correct that stores mark up items based on percentages, please bear in mind that all store expenses also went up. When taking into consideration raised payroll, possibly higher rent, and so on, they are not necessarily coming out with a bigger net profit. On the Other Side

HOW OLD IS OLD?

(Re: Standing Up for What’s Right, Inbox, Issue 177) I’ve been following with interest the conversation on standing up for your elders. I was raised and taught to stand up for people older than myself and to offer my seat as the Torah instructs us. After I graduated high school, I worked in Williamsburg, traveling every day on the Williamsburg-Boro Park bus. After a full day of teaching and standing on my feet, I would rush to the bus, desperate to collapse into a seat. As I ran to catch the bus, I would daven, “Please Hashem, send me a seat!” And when I did get a seat, I would be on edge the entire ride, hoping I wouldn’t need to give it up. I’m not talking about giving up a seat for 70-year-olds, as last week’s writer was. I’m saying that when a 20- or 30-year-old came onto the bus, and in my eyes looked all energized to go shopping or whatever they were heading to in Boro Park, I would instinctively think, I’m sorry, but I ‫ליל א’ דפסח‬ 7:06 worked all day. And not doing simple work, either, but doing one of the most ‫ליל ב’ דפסח‬ 8:07 exhausting jobs out there: teaching your kinderlach! (I realize that only a ‫שבת חוה”מ‬ 7:08 teacher can really understand the ‫מוצאי שבת חוה”מ‬ 8:10 koach and energy necessary for the job.) ‫שביעי של פסח‬ 7:12 My opinion is that I don’t need to stand up for someone still in ‫אחרון של פסח‬ 8:14 my age bracket (within 15 years or ‫מוצאי פסח‬ my age or so). I’m wondering what 8:15 the halacha is. Perhaps you would ‫ער”ש שמיני‬ 7:16 consider publishing an article on this. ‫מוצאי שבת שמיני‬ 8:48 Thank you, Shifra Baumol

STANDING UP IS THE TORAH WAY

Learn Hair Cutting & Styling design@nichysilber.com

(Re: Standing Up for What’s Right, Inbox, Issue 177) I’ve been following the conversation about young girls giving up their seats out of respect for their elders. It’s definitely a sensitivity that the young generation is lacking. Therefore, I was extremely surprised at the letter from “Been There.” From the letter, it seemed to me that the letter-writer decided to educate us with incorrect hashkafos based on her personal opinion. I was horrified, because anyone reading that letter may walk away feeling that they could and should rightfully continue sitting in the presence of an elderly woman who does not have a seat. We like to say that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when we’re discussing hashkafic and halachic issues, only Hashem’s opinion counts. Therefore, I’d like to share an opinion that I believe is more in line with His vision for how His children should live their lives. I’m not writing this as a woman from an earlier generation; I’m in my mid-twenties and recently got married. I was raised to give up my seat for an older woman or any woman who looks like she is raising children. Girls are human beings just like the elderly are, and we shouldn’t judge a girl who doesn’t get up for an older woman. There are times when she is super exhausted, or not feeling well, or has another reason for remaining seated. But I’ve been on full buses countless times to find middle-aged women standing, swaying from side to side and trying to keep their balance, while a group of high school girls sat, schmoozing and laughing. I can’t believe that they were all sick that day. This scene is a result of the entitlement that another letter-writer referred to. It pains me to witness this, and I imagine it pains Hashem even more. This is one of the messages that I look forward to instilling in my children. All you mothers out there, it’s in your hands to educate your children in the ways of Hashem. Let’s do it together. Hoping To Instill Old Values in the Young Generation

For those who took the time and mustered the courage to mention a name for your child, it’s wonderful to get a sincere thank you for their efforts. To some parents, it may not occur that showing appreciation is in order. That’s why I’m writing this letter: to raise awareness of the effort that goes into redting a shidduch. It’s so important to show your appreciation to somebody who took the time to call you and try to help you. You may think you have a “perfect” family and “top” daughter or son, and you may be confident that the shadchan who will “merit” being the right shaliach for your child will be somebody who knows you well and somebody you rate as “qualified” to be your shadchan. But the pages of this paper aren’t long enough to detail Hashem’s creativity in matching up a chassan and kallah. Many shidduchim happen by names simply being exchanged by good people who take the time to mention a name for somebody who hasn’t yet found his or her bashert. (As an aside, that’s actually how my own shidduch came about. My shadchan was someone who tried redting shidduchim to many people for over ten years with no success, and after all those years, she was the shaliach for my shidduch. I am, baruch Hashem, married for over seventeen years now, and she has suggested many other shidduchim after mine. No other shidduch materialized so far. This person has no idea who I am, and I have no idea who she is, except for by name. I used to think a shadchan has to know both families well, but Hashem sent me this shadchan to teach me a lesson.) By banging the phone down on an individual who redts you a shidduch (true story), you’re effectively discouraging people to be oisek in this very special and necessary “business.” Even if the shidduch being redt is “out of the box,” we still need to be thankful and gracious. Everyone has had the experience of hearing about an engagement, with the first thought being, “Who had the guts to redt that shidduch?” We need people with guts and with out-of-the-box ideas to redt shidduchim, because not every shidduch that Hashem wants to put together is obvious. My sister once called the mother of a 24-year-old boy and started the conversation by saying, “My sister told me you have a very good boy on the market.” In an angry tone, the woman replied, “What is this? I do not like this business of my son’s name being on the street like this! Why does he have to be exposed this way?” There is obviously a lot of pain in this mother’s heart, and I’m not here to judge her. Dear parents, please thank Hashem that someone still wants to do this tremendous chesed and that someone is thinking of your child. If the government were to pass a stimulus bill where money would be distributed to each family member, and the local county would have to call each household to confirm basic information like address, dependents at home, etc., how would you handle that call? Would you be upset at them for calling you? Would you tell them, “I’m sick with the flu, I can’t deal with this now”? A shidduch suggestion is worth a lot more than money. Speak respectfully to each individual. It’s okay to say, “I’m so sorry that I can’t speak now, but thanks for calling. Please try me later.” Being unappreciative is what’s

discouraging so many qualified individuals from helping others. Ironically, a great way to get information on your potential mechutanim would be by trying to redt them a shidduch. In that quick conversation, you’ll learn a lot about what type of people they are. Signed, Your Sister, Your Friend

BUCKLE THAT STRAP!

I often see bochurim biking with a helmet perched on their head — but it isn’t fastened! Parents, please teach your children helmet safety. Ensure that they actually buckle their helmets when riding, and position them properly. This is a crucial part of ensuring their safety on the streets! The helmet should sit level on the wearer’s head and low on the forehead, one or two finger-widths above your eyebrows. R. Isenberg

A PROMISED ANNOUNCEMENT

A few months ago, a relative came to visit me in Lakewood and brought along The Boro Park View, which I found to be an amazing publication. In the Inbox, I happened to have read a letter to the editor where a woman wrote that she lit a candle for Reb Menachem Mendel M’Riminov for 40 days and experienced a yeshuah. I decided to do it as well, and now I would like to publicize that, baruch Hashem, after lighting a candle for 40 days, I also experienced a yeshuah. (Part of the segulah is promising to publicize the yeshuah.) So thank you, The Boro Park View, for enhancing so many people’s lives in so many ways. Anonymous

Full steam ahead. Thanks to you, it’s been a successful Yom Tov season. We’re gathering steam for the upcoming summer season.

NYPD Amps Up Security for Pesach With hate crimes a continuing concern in New York City, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that safety would be a top priority over Pesach, with additional resources deployed around shuls and other sensitive areas. AMNY reported that Sewell announced the NYPD’s commitment to ensuring the Jewish community’s safety at the department’s annual pre-Pesach security brief at One Police Plaza on March 29. She noted that hate crimes have dropped by half this year in the city, but acknowledged that even one bias attack is one too many. “That is not enough,” said Sewell. “We will stamp it out. We cannot tolerate it. We will never accept it.” Assistant Commissioner of the Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau Rebecca Weiner said that while there are no known threats against the Jewish community at this time, residents of the five boroughs should expect to see a heightened NYPD presence over the next few weeks.

Free Family Chol Hamoed Entertainment in Boro Park and Flatbush Local families won’t need to look far to find a fun activity this Chol Hamoed, with Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, the Boro Park Jewish Community Coalition and COJO Flatbush co-hosting two free extravaganzas for kids of all ages. The Boro Park event will take place on Sunday, April 9, at Gravesend Park on 18th Avenue and 55th Street, with magic, monkey and fire shows; entertainment by Nussy Friedman as well as a ventriloquist; multiple rides and inflatables; a petting zoo; balloon sculptures; a photo booth; face painting and more. A second extravaganza will take place in Flatbush on April 10 on East 17th Street between avenues L and M and will have pony rides, general rides, bumper cars, balloons, cotton candy, snacks, drinks, Simon Sez with Simon Hyman, the New York Boys Choir, Levi Falkowitz and other live entertainment. Both events will be held from 12 noon until 5 p.m. Residents can register for the Boro Park extravaganza online at www. bpjcc.org and for the Flatbush event on site, starting at 11:30 a.m. Eichenstein said that he was excited to be able to provide Brooklyn residents with a fun afternoon that would make both the children and their parents happy. “It’s one of the highlights of the year for me,” said Eichenstein. “Last year’s events were a huge success, proving once again that you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy a highquality family-friendly outing right here in our own neighborhood during the holiday season.” 156

Matzah Bakery Thief Indicted by Brooklyn DA A Brooklyn resident who broke into a Williamsburg matzah bakery and made off with $97,000 in cash and checks has been indicted on multiple charges and held without bail. Hamodia reported that 43-year-old Montaqui Durant broke into the Satmar matzah bakery at 423 Broadway on February 28, emptying its safe of $63,000 in cash and $34,000 in checks. He was arrested two weeks later and indicted on charges of grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, burglary, petit larceny and criminal trespass. His history of prior arrests includes multiple burglaries and related charges, and having previously not returned to court as ordered, a judge ordered him held without bail. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez visited the bakery on March 28 with community leaders and said that his office takes a hard line on serial thieves and makes stopping those who target local businesses a high priority. “This defendant broke into a matzah factory just weeks before Pesach, which makes this crime even more upsetting,” said Gonzalez. “We will now seek to bring him to justice and prevent him from victimizing anyone else.”

State Retracts Polio Billboard Campaign Following Allegations of Antisemitism A mobile ad campaign aimed at curbing the spread of polio has been terminated after members of New York’s Jewish communities complained that they were being unfairly held responsible for the resurgence of the debilitating disease. Hoping to encourage immunization, the New York State Department of Health sent trucks bearing large red billboards to circulate in Rockland County and other Jewish communities last week. The billboards read, “Polio is spreading in Israel. Get immunized now.” According to the Forward, the ad campaign was scheduled to run through Rockland, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Nassau counties from March 24 through March 28. Travel between New York and Israel typically surges in the days before Pesach. The truck was spotted on Route 306 in Monsey on March 26, a heavy pre-Pesach shopping day, reported The Journal News. Rockland County spokesperson Beth Cefalu said that county officials first learned of the truck after being contacted by a reporter, and described the billboard as “insensitive.” Wesley Hills resident Lieby Breuer shared his outrage on social media, noting that the advertisement, which focused on the Jewish community exclusively, was paid for with taxpayer dollars. “This is targeting us in an improper manner,” said Breuer. “It’s getting our local neighbors afraid to associate with us,

worried to stand next to us in the grocery line.” Five Towns Assemblyman Ari Brown sent a letter to the DOH last Monday slamming the campaign, reported the New York Post. “I was appalled, but not surprised, to learn that the NYS Department of Health sent a truck to our Orthodox Jewish community of the Five Towns on Long Island, displaying the subtle antisemitic trope of ‘the Jew spreading disease,’” wrote Brown, who is also the deputy mayor of Cedarhurst.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is also Jewish, described the messaging as “disturbing.” While the DOH is continuing to run newspaper ads urging vaccination, it pulled the polio truck ad once it was made aware that its messaging could be seen as blaming Jews for the spread of polio. “The Department of Health remains committed to serving New York State’s diverse communities, and we strongly condemn antisemitism,” said DOH spokesperson Sam Miller.

Amazon Rolling Out Frequently-Returned Product Label Hoping to minimize returns and boost product quality, Amazon will start putting warning labels on frequently returned items. The Verge reported that Amazon announced that it was introducing the new designation in order to encourage customers to do their homework before making a purchase. With counterfeit items and fake positive reviews an ongoing reality on the platform, Amazon is hoping that posting a visible warning about high return rates will encourage sellers to be more honest in their descriptions and correct known flaws in their items. Many Amazon items are sold with a free return policy, but the process can be tedious and also come at a high cost, requiring additional staff and warehousing to process and store returns. Amazon spokesperson Betsy Harden said that the company hopes that showing return rate information will help consumers make better-informed purchases. Amazon return rates surged during COVID and have yet to return to their prepandemic levels. Some have said the platform’s free returns policy has sparked tremendous losses for both Amazon and its sellers, reported BoroPark24. “I cringe when I see an order for the same product in four different colors because I know that, more likely than not, three of those products are going to be returned through Amazon’s free return policy,” said one seller. Amazon has not announced when the “frequently returned item” tag will be rolled out.

Social Media Challenge Has Thieves Using USB Cables to Steal Kia and Hyundai Vehicles An instructional video circulating on social media showing how to easily steal certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles has vehicle owners worried. CBS News reported that thieves have been targeting Kia and Hyundai models produced from 2011 to 2021 that use conventional keys instead a push-button start mechanism, using a USB cable to bypass the vehicles’ ignition. According to CarScoops, the unusually simple ignition cylinder used by Kia and Hyundai lacks an engine immobilizer and may have been chosen as a cost-saving measure. The NYPD issued a warning last week about the issue, noting that while S Y MB

both Kia and Hyundai are looking into fixes, car owners should use a steering wheel locking device to prevent their vehicles from being targeted. Police are also recommending that car owners park in high traffic or well-lit areas in order to deter would-be thieves.

JetBlue Announces Massive Service Cuts; Flight Delays To Worsen Expect airline travel to go from bad to worse this summer now that JetBlue has announced that it will be slashing its service in New York because of an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers. The New York Post reported that staffing at the air traffic control center that handles all service in and out of New York’s airspace is at just 54%, significantly lower than the national average of 81%. JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said that it will be cutting flights in the area to reflect that reality, with the FAA warning that delays will be 45% worse than last summer if airlines don’t trim their flight schedules. According to FAA data, air traffic staffing issues caused 350 flights to be delayed every day during the summer of 2022. “Imagine that being 45% worse,” said Hayes. “It’s just not feasible.” The FAA has said that it’s working hard to reduce backlogs at its air traffic controller training programs. According to the agency, staffing levels are below target levels, but it is taking steps to ensure that air travel in New York remains “safe and smooth.” JetBlue will be impacted more than other airlines, said Hayes, because the majority of its flights operate in and out of New York. The airline recently invested tens of million to step up its hiring in advance of what was expected to be a busy summer season. “Even though we’re ready, we’ve got airplanes, we’ve hired pilots… JetBlue and other airlines are going to have to cut flights in and out of New York this summer in order to cope,” said Hayes.

he good part about this teeny, tiny basement apartment, with the one-sink kitchen and the drafty window that Chaim Tzvi still hadn’t figured out how to seal, was its location: right beneath the construction zone. Which meant that Lani could do her daily building inspection in a snood. Not that there was much to inspect, she noted grimly as she anchored Shifra onto her hip and tiptoed around the debris. Five months into this renovating joke, and there still wasn’t anything to actually see. The same power tools that regularly blasted her basement walls and seemed to be directly linked to Shifra’s napping schedule were now eerily silent. Lunch break? Why did it feel like these workers took lunch breaks twice an hour? For a moment she thought she heard a creak from upstairs, but then the house grew silent again. No creak, no workers, no moving in anytime soon. Lani stood back in the area that was going to be her kitchen one day. Surrounded by the skeletal framing of

two-by-fours and studs, it was hard to visualize gleaming countertops and a magazine-style pantry. Also, for some reason, the room didn’t feel as spacious as it had seemed on their plans. Did a kitchen appear bigger or smaller before the cabinetry was installed? Balancing Shifra on one arm, she opened her construction notebook — a mess of pages with urgent instructions, reminders and phone numbers that she could barely decipher — and pulled out a torn copy of their blueprint. The plumber had promised to be done with the wall cavity work by the end of the week, and she wondered if she could figure out what he’d actually gotten done. She couldn’t — how was she supposed to tell the difference between this pipe and that pipe? — but she could easily tell that the steam pipe that stood in the center of the kitchen, in the area where the island would eventually go, still hadn’t been moved. “Because the guy who needs to do it had to fly to Georgia for his father’s funeral,” the plumber had explained.

long did a funeral take? Four weeks? She took out her phone and searched her contacts for Frankie. Really, she should add these workers to her speed dial. She called them more often than she called her friends these days. She was waiting for Frankie to answer when Shifra suddenly grabbed the notebook out of her hand and crumpled a bunch of pages in her fist. Lani tugged at the baby’s hand and tried to rescue her notebook, but as she wrangled with the baby, her cellphone slid to the floor, blowing the cover off and sending the battery flying. “Oy, Shifra!” In response, she heard a distinct creak, followed by a throat clearing. “Uh…” Lani gripped the baby and cautiously turned around. On the stairs leading up to the Eisdorfs’ future bedrooms stood Gittel Indig, a neighbor from the condos down the block. “Uh…?” Lani echoed. “You’re, um…” Gittel stammered. “I didn’t know you were here. I was just… you know, taking a little peek?” Taking a little peek? Gittel leaned over the makeshift banister and gave a selfconscious chuckle. “I’m not the formal type, you know. I wouldn’t want to take up your time or anything, so I was just trying to figure out what layout you’re doing. Because my daughter is starting to renovate soon, and she has similar square footage, but I see you’re also extending in the back? Are you doing a built-in succah? You really should, it’s so worth it.” What was she saying and what in the world was Gittel Indig doing in her house? Just because they were living in the basement for now didn’t mean it was no longer their house. Her space. But if Gittel Indig had felt any compunction at being caught trespassing, she’d gotten over it very quickly. “So where are you doing the Pesach kitchen?” she asked conversationally. Seriously, was she expecting a tour of the house? A copy of the blueprint? From the sweet smile on her face, it was obvious that she was at least expecting an answer. “Near the kitchen,” Lani mumbled. She bent down to hunt for her phone battery, hoping it was clear that the conversation was over. But Gittel didn’t grab the opportunity to dismiss herself. Instead, she came down the stairs and craned her neck toward the back of the house. “There?” she asked, pointing. “In that space?” Then she turned in the opposite direction. “And I guess you’re doing a study here, between the kitchen and the dining room?” Lani transferred Shifra over to her other arm. “I need to go

now,” she said pointedly. “Sure, sure. Construction keeps you busy, huh?” Gittel stuck her phone into her bag, and Lani had a sudden suspicion. Had she been taking pictures? “Busy and broke, huh?” Gittel went on. “You know what they say, whatever you thought it’s going to cost you, it’s going to cost at least double, maybe triple.” This was too much. Lani marched stiffly toward the door, completely ignoring her neighbor. Getting the hint at last — or maybe simply getting bored of Lani’s uninspiring company — Gittel left. But her words lingered. Busy and broke, huh? Not quite broke; they were in debt, true, but they had a solid repayment plan. They’d climb out of it one day. One day… It felt like a dream, but one day it would all end. Construction would be over, a cleaning crew would show up and scour the house until it gleamed, and the next day, they’d move back upstairs. She’d stock the butler’s pantry with ingredients for her food business; she wouldn’t be working out of the family kitchen anymore. She definitely wouldn’t be working out of the dingy basement kitchenette, where she constantly worried about construction dust getting into the food she sold. Then she would spend a million delicious hours unpacking and organizing and settling in. One day, finally, she’d be able to breathe.

“YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, WHATEVER YOU THOUGHT RENOVATIONS WILL COST, IT’S GOING TO COST AT LEAST DOUBLE, MAYBE TRIPLE.”

It had taken about a week to make it through the morning, but by the time Riva Stroh was finally sitting at her desk, coffee and muffin in front of her keyboard, her headache had pleasantly let up. Her head remained clear, even as 37 new messages loaded in her inbox and three phone lines outshouted each other. Work was demanding her attention, but at least she got to sit. And eat. Without sharing her food with anyone, and in a blessedly quiet office. She reached to answer the phone. Emails could wait, but a missed call could easily mean a missed client. “Good morning, Kleenup,” she greeted the caller. It wasn’t a client. It was Stella, the cleaning lady Mr. Gabioff had recently appointed as a supervisor. Riva pulled her muffin out of the paper bag as she listened to the woman’s broken English. “Money from Monday and Tuesday and Jessica for the allergy, and I tell Mr. Gabioff, and he say…” She was rambling, and it wasn’t because of a language barrier. Riva folded in the corner of the paper bag and waited for the woman to finish talking.

“I’m not sure I understand,” she said when Stella finally paused for breath. “You want to get paid now for the past two days instead of on Friday?” “Sí! And also Jessica, I tell Mr. Gabioff, he screaming and screaming.” Riva winced. Thanks for the tip-off. Stella switched over to Spanish for an angry tirade, which Riva was glad she couldn’t follow. She refreshed her emails again. Three new messages came in: two promos for cleaning supplies and one email from Michael Turner, on that Bronx commercial property chain. Okay, Stella was having a hard day, but she had a lot of work waiting for her. “Stella,” she said loudly, cutting the woman off mid-scream. “I’ll ask Mr. Gabioff if I can pay you today and let you know what he says, okay?” More Spanish yelling. Riva stuck a stirrer into her coffee cup and gave a polite cough. “I’ll call you back later,” she said firmly. For the next hour, Riva went from task to task calmly and efficiently. She sipped her coffee and nibbled on her muffin while she worked. After an hour, she got up to stretch her legs and stopped by Adina’s desk to say hello. “Stella bit into a lemon this morning,” she told her coworker. “Not sure what she wanted, but she mentioned Mr. G. ‘screaming and screaming.’” “Oh, great, now he’ll be in a mood. Just what I need.” And as if to give them just what they needed, their boss chose that minute to walk into the office. The first thing Riva did was blush. Ugh. Couldn’t he have shown up five minutes earlier and found her sitting at her desk? What was it about this person that he had a knack for appearing at all the wrong times? He didn’t say anything, of course, but the exaggerated sigh he sent her way told her exactly what he was thinking. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. It was so unfair. She was loyal and diligent and didn’t slack off. If only he’d accuse her, so she’d have a chance to defend herself. Instead, she tried to appear casual as she strolled back to her desk. Maybe if she didn’t scamper away guiltily he would understand that this had only been a quick break? But whatever her boss did or didn’t understand didn’t seem to matter as he strode over to her desk. “Stella,” he said. Riva waited, but Mr. Gabioff didn’t say more. What does he want? Why can’t he ask a question like a mentsch? What am I supposed to say? She folded her paper bag in quarters. “Y-yes?” “Yes?” he repeated almost mockingly. “Did you know that

she planned to quit?” Oh. No, she hadn’t known. She couldn’t make out what that woman had been shouting on the phone. She definitely didn’t say she was quitting. “Um,” she stuttered. “I need to know about these things. If you knew something, why didn’t you tell me?” “I didn’t…” Riva tried. “Um, she only asked about getting paid early and something about Jessica, I’m not really sure, she spoke in Spa—” “Not sure? What’s in the water lately? We lost Amanda, we lost Kathy, we lost Darlene, and now Stella, a week after I promoted her to supervisor, and she’s taking Jessica with her! You know how hard it is to find these ladies. I pay them well, I invest in training them, I let them take off for every ridiculous occasion. How can I take on clients if I don’t have crews to work for me?” Riva turned her mouse in frantic circles. Was it her fault that her boss had a staffing shortage? Was she supposed to convince Stella not to quit when she hadn’t even known she was quitting? Why was he even talking to her about this? She was in charge of accounts receivable, and customer service, because everyone at Kleenup did customer service. Hiring cleaning ladies wasn’t her job at all. She wanted to stand up and say all this, defend herself once and for all, but her lips wouldn’t move. You didn’t defend yourself to Mr. Gabioff. Adina was sending her pitying looks. Mr. Gabioff stood there quietly, allowing his unspoken barbs to sink in. Finally, he exhaled yet another sigh of disappointment and went over to his own desk. Riva turned her attention to her screen, but the words swam before her eyes. After a few minutes, she stood up and locked herself into the bathroom. Maybe she was a baby for crying about her boss’s bad mood, but she’d had it. She was totally and completely done. She was an adult, she had her own stresses in her life, there was no reason to put up with this craziness. That night, when she repeated the incident to Yaakov, it felt dumb and shallow and she started thinking that maybe she was overreacting, maybe she was being unreasonably sensitive. But her husband didn’t think so. If she’d felt a little wounded, he was downright seething. “That’s it,” he declared. “I don’t care about anything. You’re leaving that job.”

HE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING, OF COURSE, BUT THE EXAGGERATED SIGH HE SENT HER WAY TOLD HER EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS THINKING

M AY O N NAISE SUSSY KRAUS

Double or triple this recipe! You’ll be astounded by all the different things you can use it for. INGREDIENTS 2

eggs

2

tsp. lemon juice

1

tsp. salt

2

cups oil

1

tsp. sugar

D IR EC T I O N S 1. In a food processor fitted with the S-blade, beat eggs on high speed for 2-3 minutes, adding salt, sugar and lemon juice in the process. 2. Pour oil in a slow and steady stream, allowing the mixture to thicken and emulsify. Note: To attain a perfect consistency, pour oil in a very thin stream, approximately 1 minute per cup of oil.

S H M A LT Z SUSSY KRAUS

If you want the oil only, order shmaltz from the butcher, but if you want greeven too, get half schmaltz and half skin. Put everything into a pot, and simmer on low until most of the fat has melted. Pour off most of the rendered fat, and leave the skins simmering until they’re crispy. This process takes several hours. Never leave schmaltz unattended or cooking overnight, as it can be dangerous.

SALAD DRESSING CHANA RIVKY SPITZER

This is an all-purpose dressing for every type of salad. The horseradish gives it a tiny bit of kick in place of the year-round seasoning of black pepper or mustard. Makes about 1 cup INGREDIENTS

KETCHUP

½

cup mayonnaise (recipe above)

¼

cup water

2

T. lemon juice

2

T. sugar

With more kugel and French fries being consumed over Pesach than during the rest of the year, shouldn’t they be served with their best friend?

1

tsp. salt

1

T. finely grated onion

1

T. finely grated horseradish, optional

INGREDIENTS

D IR EC T I O N S

CHANA RIVKY SPITZER

4

1

ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and diced large onion, finely diced

3–4 T. sugar

1

tsp. salt

3

T. lemon juice

4

tsp. wine (see note)

1

cup water

D IR EC T I O N S 1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan, and simmer over low heat for 2 hours. 2. Blend in a food processor or with a hand blender until smooth. Note: You may use lemon juice instead, but the wine gives a more authentic flavor to the ketchup.

Measure all ingredients into a container with a tight-fitting lid, and shake vigorously to combine. Alternatively, blend with a hand blender.

VEGGIE DIP D IR EC T I O N S 1. Combine equal amounts of ketchup and mayonnaise with some salt to taste. 2. Cut carrots, zucchini, cucumbers or cooked beets into thin sticks. Set them out neatly on a platter along with some dip for a healthy snack that’ll keep everyone munching happily. April 3, 2023

P O TAT O S TA R C H SUSSY KRAUS

There are several different ways of extracting the starch from the potato, but I find that the easiest way is to use a vegetable juicer. However, not all vegetable juicers are alike, and not all of them make good starch. To make starch, you need a juicer that has the juice coming out of one side and the pulp thrown out from the other side. (Such a juicer is also fantastic for making the most amazing apple cider.) D IR EC T I O N S 1. Peel the potatoes and put them through the juicer, as you would to make a carrot juice or any other vegetable juice. You’ll now have potato juice, which is where the starch is, as well as pulp. (See note below for ideas on how to use the pulp.) 2. Pour the juice into a bowl, and let the starch settle to the bottom. After the starch has settled, approximately 20 to 30 minutes, pour off the water and rinse with fresh water. Let the starch settle again, and rinse again. Rinse three or four times, until you get a nice, white starch. (Some people leave it in fresh water overnight.) 3. When the rinsing process is complete, scrape the starch out of the bowl with a spoon or fork, and spread on a clean white sheet to dry. Drying should take two to three days. I like

to do it over a weekend — put it out to dry before Shabbos, and it’s ready on Sunday. 4. Once the starch is dry, put the clumps into a food processor, and process until fluffed. 5. For a a quicker process, simply juice the potatoes, let the starch settle, rinse it once or twice, and leave the starch with the water in the fridge. To use, just scrape off a bit as needed. This starch can be used in sauces or as soup thickeners, but not for baked goods. Note: Use the potato pulp to make either potato latkes or the base for a delicious cream of potato soup (great for a hearty Erev Pesach supper). To make latkes, simply add a bottle of seltzer, 16 eggs and 1 cup oil to the pulp of 25 pounds of potatoes. To make the soup base, add water, some squash, sautéed onions and salt. Let it boil and blend.

FA U X “ B R E A D ” CRUMBS CHANA RIVKY SPITZER

Use these crumbs to coat chicken, fish, mashed potato balls or to top a vegetable kugel. INGREDIENTS 4

egg yolks About 1 cup potato starch

3–4 T. oil Pinch salt D IR EC T I O N S 1. Mix all ingredients with a fork until crumbly. 2. Put an ungreased frying pan over the flame, and add the mixture, breaking up large clumps as it cooks. If crumbs are too large when done, pulse in a food processor for a few seconds.

MUST SUSSY KRAUS

Must, from the Latin vinum mustum (young wine), is freshly pressed fruit juice (usually grape juice) that contains the skins, seeds and stems of the fruit. The solid portion of the must is called pomace and typically makes up 7-23%of the total weight of the must. Making must is the first step in winemaking, but for those who don’t use store-bought grape juice on Pesach, the pomace is removed, and the clear, refreshing liquid is used.

D IR EC T I O N S 1. Pick the grapes off the stems and blend. 2. Pour the blended grapes into a container and freeze. 3. Take a strainer, line it with a cheesecloth and put the strainer over a bowl that is large enough to contain all the liquid. Place the frozen block of blended grapes on the cheesecloth-lined strainer, and let the clear must drip through overnight until only the pulp remains on top. 4. Bottle and refrigerate, or freeze for extended shelf life.

Borscht is naturally fermented beets. Some people have a minhag to drink borscht on Pesach. D IR EC T I O N S 1.

Fill the jar between two-thirds and three-quarters full with beets.

CHREIN SUSSY KRAUS

Chrein is a wonderful addition to fish or any main dish. Try it with a hot slice of potato kugel… absolutely divine. It’s fairly simple to make as well. You can freeze it or keep it in the fridge; it has a pretty long shelf life.

Summer 2023, Casa Grande

Take a Deep Breath

INGREDIENTS 5

lb. beets

1

T. salt

1

small horseradish (add more if you like it really sharp)

¾

cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1

cup sugar

RELAX

Salt to taste D IR EC T I O N S 1. Peel beets, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and cook for two hours. 2. Drain and grate the beets, or put them through the food processor. 3. Grate the horseradish, and mix with beets and the rest of the ingredients. Horseradish loses a lot of its sharpness with time, so don’t get scared if it tastes very strong right after you mix it. Tip: Do not discard the drained beet liquid. I reserve a container and use it as coloring. I make fruit punch with freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, sugar syrup, a little must and a teaspoon of beet juice. (Don’t tell the kids it’s there; they’ll think they taste the flavor.) I also make a delicious “strawberry” sauce for my baked apples. I blend a banana, two whole oranges, a slice of lemon and a drop of beet juice. It becomes a beautiful pink fruit sauce.

EGG NOODLES SUSSY KRAUS

I get very nostalgic when I think about Pesach egg noodles. My grandmother used to spend every Pesach with us, and she took such pride in cutting the noodles very thin. Her face would glow as she’d watch everyone enjoy her paper-thin noodles in the steaming plates of hot soup. I always try to imitate her, but I haven’t yet mastered that perfect cut. INGREDIENTS 20

eggs

½

cup water

1

tsp. salt

If you use potato starch, add ½ cup starch and ½ cup of water to the recipe. Mix batter after every few minutes.

SPRING | SUMMER ‘23

D IR EC T I O N S 1. Heat a frying pan, smear some schmaltz or oil on the bottom, add a ladle of egg mixture and fry on each side for a few minutes. Alternatively, you can use a griddle and make huge blintzes. It’s way faster that way, and since they’re being cut into strips anyway, the actual crepes don’t have to look pretty. If you don’t want to make your pan schmaltzy, use a non-stick frying pan and let it become very hot; the first or second blintz might not come out good, but after that it should work well. 2. Roll up a stack of blintzes jelly-roll style and cut into thin strips. You can cut it and freeze it in bags, one for each meal, or you can freeze it as a roll and cut it right before the meal. Warm it up in the soup or put some hot soup in the bag so the noodles rehydrate a bit after losing some moisture in the freezer. For Shabbos, put a bit of hot soup in a bag before the zman, and keep it in a warm place. You can also use this recipe for potato blintzes, liver blintzes or vegetable blintzes for a Chol Hamoed supper or side dish. Include the potato starch; the result is more solid and works better when making blintzes.

Spread to a thin layer (⅛” to ¼” thick). Do not spread too thin; the paper should not be seen through the fruit. 3. Bake for 4 to 6 hours at 170°, until fruit is no longer sticky. 4. Allow to cool and peel off paper, or roll up with paper.

A ROYAL SEDER

RABBI BORUCH TWERSKY

W

e drink four cups of wine.

We recline, we decorate the table with elegant dishes, and we dip twice. We perform all these along with other halachos and customs to show that we have become a free nation.

The halachos of korban Pesach also imply that we have become a royal and free nation. The korban Pesach is eaten roasted; nothing from the korban Pesach may be left over for the next day; no bones may be broken; and it is forbidden to transfer the korban Pesach from one home to another. The Sefer Hachinuch explains that these halachos demonstrate we have become a free and royal nation. The poor eat their meat cooked, so more of the meat remains, and they break open bones to scratch out every drop of meat. They leave over meat for the next day, and they share their meal with family, neighbors and friends because eating meat is a rare delicacy for them. Wealthy, royal people don’t have these customs, and we act with the korban Pesach like wealthy, royal people. To quote the Chinuch (mitzvah 16): “It isn’t honorable for children of kings… to scratch out every drop of meat and to break bones like a dog. This is the way of the poor and of the hungry. At the beginning of our becoming the Chosen Nation from among all nations, a holy nation, a nation of kings — mamleches kohanim v’goy kadosh — every year at this time we do deeds to demonstrate the exaltedness we have attained. By doing these deeds and thinking these thoughts, we integrate these concepts [of freedom and royalty] in our souls forever.”

“BY DOING THESE DEEDS AND THINKING THESE THOUGHTS, WE INTEGRATE THESE CONCEPTS IN OUR SOULS FOREVER.”

Fit for a King Some do more than the customs and halachos of freedom, and they succeed in bringing a royal atmosphere to the Seder. 210

The Shlah Hakadosh (Pesachim 217) writes, “He and his family should sit [at the Seder] as people eating before the King. They should sit there with holiness and purity. Their voices shouldn’t be heard to say any idle words, only to tell the story of Yetzias Mitzrayim, and nothing else.” The Ruzhiner Rebbe, zt”l, who lived with royalty the entire year, had a very regal Seder. He reclined on his couch, and one of his young sons, dressed like a prince in a regal outfit with gold buttons, came and said the Mah Nishtanah. Then the next son came to say the Mah Nishtanah. The entire Seder was performed with awesome silence. A Stoliner chassid was once with the Ruzhiner for the Seder, and he missed the loud hislahavus that he usually saw at his Rebbe’s Seder. Someone explained to him that the Stoliner Rebbe leads his chassidim like a rebbe teaching in cheder, and the children answer after their teacher in a loud, chanting voice. The holy Ruzhiner leads his Seder like someone giving a shiur in iyun (a deep analysis), and therefore everything is silent. Certainly, those who can make a regal, royal Seder are doing a wonderful deed, while for others this may be difficult. But they can follow the customs and be careful about the halachos of

freedom. Furthermore, they can experience the freedom and the royalty in their hearts.

True Freedom A renowned tzaddik from Yerushalayim invited his students to his Seder. The students were shocked to find the entire home turned upside down. There was no sign that it was the Seder night. (The host’s wife was emotionally unwell, and things like this would happen in their home.) Their host told them, “When you go to other people’s homes and find the table set, the children dressed in their Yom Tov clothing, and good smells wafting out of the kitchen, you think you are seeing freedom. I say you are seeing slavery, because they are enslaved to this perfect situation. If a minor detail isn’t in order, the family doesn’t know how to handle it. But in this home, we celebrate true freedom because we accept Hashem’s will, whatever it is. If this is what Hashem wants, this is good for us.” In other words, he had a perfectly royal Seder in his thoughts, although it didn’t seem so perfect in practice. And when you experience freedom and royalty in your thoughts, it will often be seen in your deeds, as well. So now we need to define these terms. What does it mean to be free? What feels like royalty? What emotions should we have? What thoughts should we have? Freedom and royalty are the awareness that we are in Hashem’s loving hands. We don’t have financial anxiety, because Hashem can easily give us everything we need. We will not be upset about anything that occurs, because we know that everything is directed from Above. We feel free and without worries. We feel as fortunate as a king. The Ruzhiner could read people’s thoughts, so once, when he had ten distinguished guests for his Seder, he asked that they not disturb him with imperfect thoughts. Each guest decided that they would guard their thoughts by focusing on the first pas212

suk of Krias Shema. At Urchatz, their thoughts were on Hashem Echad. At Karpas, again, their focus was on this pasuk. After the Seder, they spoke with one another, and they discovered that they had all come to the same conclusion, to think about Shema Yisroel. Focusing on the first passuk of Krias Shema is certainly a royal thought for the Seder, and it is the lesson of the Seder: to know that we are in Hashem’s hands.

Reaching Higher Now, don’t think that we are discussing madreigos that are beyond your level. This holiday is called Pesach, which means to jump, and on this night we should jump up to a higher level. Generally, avodas Hashem requires gradual growth. But there are times when we must take a large step forward, and the Seder can be such a time. You can jump into the awareness and emunah that we are entirely in Hashem’s loving hands. And this is how we experience freedom and royalty at the Seder. The Maharal (Haggadah Shel Pesach, chayav adam liros es atzmo) 214

teaches that freedom isn’t dependent on any external factor. You don’t need money, and you don’t even need peace from the non-Jews to feel freedom. He writes, “Some ask, how does it help us that we were taken out of Mitzrayim? Behold, we are now enslaved to other kings. What is the difference whether we are slaves in Mitzrayim or whether we are enslaved to others? “This is foolishness, because when we were redeemed from Mitzrayim… we are called in our essence bnei chorin, free people… Yisroel are still free people, even if they are enslaved to others. This is because when we were taken out of Mitzrayim we became free; we even became kings, as it says (Shemos 19:6), “V’atem tiheyu li mamleches kohanim v’goy kadosh.” This is a Yid’s essence, and this greatness and specialness doesn’t go away when they are in exile.” What is freedom? Perhaps this tale will help us understand. A bachur from a wealthy home was influenced by the Enlightenment and was gradually leaving Yiddishkeit. At a Seder, as the family sang the Haggadah with joy, the bachur took out a dark loaf of bread and put it on the table. Needless to say, the joy of that Seder ended at that moment. They hadn’t realized that he had fallen so far. The father was a chassid of Reb Dov Ber of Lubavitch, zt”l, and he told his rebbe about his son’s spiritual descent. Reb Dov Ber said that he can’t help the bachur, and he should bring his son to Reb Yisrael of Ruzhin. The father thought, “How can I convince my son to go to Ruzhin? He avoids going to rebbes. He doesn’t want to hear rebuke.” Reb Dov Ber perceived the father’s thoughts, and he advised the father to tell his son that there’s a millionaire in Ruzhin, and they could do business with him. The father and son were business partners, and so the son agreed to travel with his father to Ruzhin. When they stood in front of the Ruzhiner’s home, the son was amazed by the wealth and royalty he saw in the Rebbe’s court. The father said that he would go in first to tell the millionaire about the basic business plan, and then the son would join them to finish the deal.

FREEDOM IS TO BELIEVE IN YOUR SPECIALNESS, BECAUSE HASHEM MADE YOU THIS WAY. When the son met the Ruzhiner, he immediately understood that he had come to a chassidic rebbe and not to a wealthy businessman. He would have run out, but the Ruzhiner looked at the bachur, and he was somehow humbled. The Ruzhiner told the bachur to follow him. They walked on plush carpets through several rooms, until they arrived at a room with many mirrors. The Ruzhiner told the bachur to look in the first mirror. He looked in the mirror and saw a young boy, with a lot of Yiddishe chein, studying Torah with hislahavus. He realized that he was looking at himself. This is how he had appeared years before, when he was younger. The Ruzhiner directed him to the second mirror. There he saw himself speaking during davening and not being careful with netilas yadayim. (These aveiros are often the first step to spiritual descent.) With a broken heart, he went over to the third mirror. He saw himself refusing to go to beis medrash on Shabbos and Yom Tov. The bachur was disgusted with himself. He couldn’t look further. But the Ruzhiner brought him to the fourth mirror, and then to the fifth. The bachur saw himself falling lower and lower, into the 49 gates of tumah. He was so disgusted with his deeds that he threw up. Then he looked into the final mirror and saw himself at the Seder putting bread on the table, next to the matzos. This time, he vomited blood. He fell to the Ruzniher’s feet and asked him to show him how he can do teshuvah. The Ruzhiner gave him a path to teshuvah, and he did teshuvah sheleimah. We tell this story to demonstrate that people seek freedom in the wrong places. The irreligious call themselves frei or chofshi, both of which mean “free.” This bachur thought he was free, but he wasn’t free at all. He wasn’t acting as he truly wanted in his heart, so he wasn’t free. Freedom is to be who you are. Freedom is to believe in your specialness, because Hashem made you this way. And freedom also means not to be afraid to be imperfect. And, when we bear in mind these thoughts, we find ourselves freed of all worries.

FROM SHACKLES TO FREEDOM

Devorah My brother-in-law Azariah puts the last bundle on the cart. Tamar’s palms hug my face. The knot in my throat chokes me. “Why must you go? We’ll triumph again. Yosef is certain that Bar Kochva will repel the Romans.” “Not this time, Devorah,” Tamar says. “Jerusalem has fallen again. The Romans will seek to make an example of us.” Those soulful eyes, green as the olives our father grew, bore into mine. “We must flee. Bar Kochva is finished.” “How can you say that about a leader who completely obliterated the Twelfth Legion?!” I snap. My sister must not leave me. “Azariah, I thought you were a baal bitachon. Where is your faith now? ” His lips are pinched and his nostrils flare. “Faith, Devorah? I have faith in our Father in Heaven, but I have none for that scheming imposter.” That hypocritical coward! “You’re wrong! Rabi Akiva has said that he’s Moshiach!” “Yes, well, if the rumors are true, he will not be saying that for much longer.” He turns to his wife. “Tamar, we can delay no longer. I’m afraid we must be off.” Our embrace is deep and desperate. I know I’ll never see my twin sister again. After an eternity, she speaks. “Come with us, Devorah. We can make room for you and Gad. And Yosef too,” she adds. My throat is tied. I shake my head. She kisses my cheeks. “Goodbye, sweet Devorah. I’ll pray for you every day.” She steps back and climbs onto the cart. The wagons rumble down the dirt path, raising clouds of dust that seem to swallow them. Azariah has ripped my heart out. All that remains is pain.

holds a handkerchief to his nose. He’s talking to Beard while gesturing to Ima. Beard says something to Bad Man. “Can you care for children?” Bad Man asks Ima. “This is an important man. His wife has died. He needs a woman to care for his three children.” “I am a mother,” Ima says. “Of course I can care for children. But please, sir, ask him to take my son, too.” “Bah!” says Bad Man, waving his hand. Then he turns to speak to Beard. Beard hands him a pouch, and Bad Man shoves Ima toward him. I scream and kick. Bad Man smacks me again and reaches for the lash. Ima cries out, “Gad! Abba! Al tasir es beni! Beni, beni!1” Her hands grasp my tunic, but Bad Man just swats her away. Bad Man points to me and says something to Beard. Toga looks at me and shakes his head. Ima turns to Toga, “Domine! Filius meus! Filius meus! 2” Toga’s eyebrows pop up. He says something to Young Man, who just shrugs. He turns to speak to Beard, who hands Bad Man another pouch. Bad Man smiles, showing his blackened, broken teeth, and shoves me to Beard. Beard bows to Toga then gestures for us to follow him.

HIS LIPS ARE PINCHED AND HIS NOSTRILS FLARE. “FAITH, DEVORAH? I HAVE FAITH IN OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN”

Gad I think it’s blood on my tongue that’s making me feel sick. That bad man, who forced me, Ima and the others who came off the ship to stand here in the hot sun, smacked my face. I don’t care. They won’t take Ima away from me! “Please, sir, I’ll do anything you say,” Ima cries. “I’ll work very hard! Please, let my son come with me.” “Quiet, foolish woman!” Bad Man shouts. “The man doesn’t understand your Hebrew gibberish.” There are three more men: one in that funny, flowy thing they call a toga, another with a beard, and a young one.

Devorah

The steward, Thalos, escorts us to the baths and gives us fresh clothes. “You certainly can’t meet the family smelling as you do now,” he says. The woolen tunics are coarse and plain, but I must admit it feels good to be clean again. After parading us in front of all the family members, Thalos shows us to the slaves’ sleeping quarters in the attic. “You’ll both sleep here tonight,” he says to me. “Tomorrow you’ll begin your duties as childminder. Most likely you’ll be required to sleep outside the girls’ bedrooms.” He slides his chubby fingers through his splendid beard. “I’ll have some food sent up. Get your rest now. You both start working first thing in the morning.” He leaves, the patter of his sandals on the stairs fading away. I turn to Gad. The poor child has already curled up on the straw mat. “They’ll bring us bread soon. Aren’t you hungry, motek?” “I’ll just rest a bit first, Ima.” But he’s sound asleep a moment later. I settle down on the ground beside him. I stroke his brown curls and come completely undone. My body shudders with

every heaving sob. “Oh, dear me.” A scratchy voice startles me. It belongs to a tiny woman who bears a tray with two bowls of some sort of pottage and a loaf of bread. “Don’t worry,” she says. “You can eat it. It’s just lentils and grain. We slaves are rarely given meat anyway. I am Naomi. I work in the kitchen.” Her brown eyes are kind. I stare, stupefied. She is speaking to me in Lashon Hakodesh! “Wipe your nose and tell me your name, pretty one.” “Devorah,” I croak. “Ah!” Naomi beams. “That was my mother’s name.” She continues, “You’ll soon get used to it here. You could have done far worse than the house of Finatus.” “I could have done far better, too!” I choke. “I am a slave! My child is a slave!” I’m overcome once more. The old one crouches down creakily and places the tray near my mat. She sits down and looks me in the eye. “I’ve been here since Master was a young man. I’ve seen many slaves come and go — and two wives as well. Now listen, Devorah, to what I’m about to say to you. You need to know this. The second wife, Domina Aislynn, who’s been gone just two months now, was just a slip of a girl when Master brought her over from Britannia. She was never haughty like the Roman matrons, and liked to come to the kitchen, said it brought back memories from home.” Naomi smiles sadly, recalling the memory. “Honestly, I don’t know why her father married her off to Finatus. The poor thing was so unhappy. She was never accepted by the society ladies, and was especially held in contempt by Master’s sister. (If you’re smart, you’ll stay away from her.) “One evening she came down and cried such bitter tears — just like you. Do you know what she said? ‘For all that I’m materfamilias here,’ she said, ‘I might as well be a slave!’” I’m curious. “What did you tell her?” “Good that you ask,” the old woman says with a twinkle in her eye, “because now I’ll tell you the same: It is true that your body is enslaved, but you must never, ever succumb to avdus b’ruach. Your spirit must forever remain free. “Oof!” she says as she rises. She gestures to Gad, sound asleep. “Thank Hashem for every blessing. Find happiness wherever and however you can. Now eat before the food goes cold.”

would never set before he’d sigh, “Oh, Linus, what have you done now?” This would invariably be followed by some attempt to physically implant some Roman sense into me via a good thrashing. “What did you expect, Gaius?” Aunt Lucia would sneer. “His mother was a barbarian, after all.” My father’s spiteful sister always manages to remind everyone of this inescapable fact. Of course, no such sighs (or barks, or manic screams) are ever directed in Marcus’ direction. Oh, no. Marcus can do no wrong. I admit that Marcus is supremely clever, truly. Not many boys could wreak havoc on the household to the extent that he does, yet somehow always get his much younger brother (forgive me, half-brother) to take the blame. But then, Marcus is fully Roman, and his mother, Cecilia, had been some relation to the Flavians. Undoubtedly his intelligence is far superior to his half-Britannic brother. My parents’ unlikely marriage was a bungled political alliance. At least my father got a ring from Emperor Hadrian out of it — but that’s a story for another day. My mother, Aislynn of the Carvetii tribe, was a good wife but a terrible stepmother. She gave Marcus two annoying stepsisters, and finally one irritating stepbrother! Poor Marcus. Imagine getting me as a tenth birthday gift. Horrors! People meeting us for the first time can scarcely believe we’re related at all. In appearance we’re as night and day. He has dark hair and eyes; I am fiery and freckled. He is charming and well spoken; I never know the right thing to say. “They have nothing in common, Gaius,” Aunt Lucia remarked on one occasion, “except you and the fact that their mothers are both dead.” For most of my childhood, I’m raised by a Jewish slave named Devorah. Her son Gad is my age, and oddly, he feels more like a brother to me than Marcus does. I was five years old when Thalos, the overseer, brought Devorah and her little boy home from the slave market. Having been unlucky enough to be widowed twice, my father had resolved that it’s wiser to purchase a slave with experience caring for children rather than marrying again, and as he pointed out to Aunt Lucia, Jewish slaves were terribly cheap after the general Julius Severus quashed the rebellion. “Yes, yes, Gaius,” she replied. “I quite understand buying the woman, though these Jews do tend to be troublesome. But did you really need to bring home that brat as well?” “Aunt Lucia, don’t you see?” Marcus explained. “Having the boy here will keep her in line. If she tries anything foolish, we’ll flog the little wretch.” He grinned wolfishly. The boy trembled. “That may be, Marcus,” Father said, “but I had something else in mind.” He turned to me, and I turned into ice. “These Jews are clever. He might eventually become useful as a scribe

or secretary to Linus.” And so, although he is my slave, in time, Gad becomes my friend. And although Devorah is my nursemaid, to me she feels like a new mother. She teaches me many things (including some that Father would disapprove of, if he’d only know), and it is she who comforts me after Marcus torments me. When I’m about twelve, peeking into the triclinium during one of Father’s dinner parties, Marcus deliberately shoves me into an influential Senator just as he lifts his glass in a toast to Father’s health. Pandemonium ensues! Father is incensed, I am flogged, and Marcus is delighted. I swear revenge, and during the night, I steal Marcus’s dagger, which I then place in a salt-filled amphora. I imagine the look on Marcus’s face when he’ll discover it, corroded and useless, and gleefully return to bed. But my spying sister Marcella ruins everything when she reports my deed to Marcus. He binds me hand and foot, then hangs me by my ankles on a tree in the gardens. Luckily, Devorah discovers and releases me. As I curse my horrible brother and traitorous sister, she says to me, “Remember, Linus, your family is a gift; the most precious treasure, and we never know how long we may keep them.” Her eyes become very large as she speaks, and I detect a profound sadness in her voice. “A treasure?” I repeat. “Indeed.” “Marcus?” I ask skeptically. She grins. “Don’t scoff.” “Hmph,” I sniff. “I wish you would give me a potion that could turn Gaia and Marcella into treasures I can set in a ring or carry in a chest.” Devorah smiles. “Choose to be happy, Linus. Don’t let anyone shackle your spirit.” I stare, then nod, finding it strange that a slave is telling me not to be oppressed.

Tamar From the day of our birth, Devorah and I were inseparable. “We shall live together,” Devorah planned. “Yes!” I agreed. “In one large house, and raise our children together.” “And grandchildren,” Devorah added. “And our husbands shall be the best of friends!” We giggled. I never thought I’d see the day when we’d be separated. Yet here I am, miles and miles away from my sister, and I do not know if she is dead or alive, enslaved or free. During my waking hours, I distract myself with the children and tasks that need to be done. But at night the image of my twin as I last saw her, standing near my home in our village, haunts me. Azariah always tells me, “You must believe, Tamar. You must have faith that one day you will see your sister again.” It’s the night of our fortieth birthday. Azariah, our children and grandchildren are gathered around our table. And although I know I have every reason to be grateful to Hashem, all I feel — stronger than ever — is an aching loss. I leave the house. As I walk along the bank of the Eu-

phrates, the tears flow as fast and furious as the river itself. “How can I believe? How can I have faith?” I cry. “Devorah! Where are you? Where are you?” I kneel on a rock, shuddering and weeping until I am spent. When I look up, Azariah is there. He sits down beside me. “I’m sorry you’re in such terrible pain.” “It’s been so long.” “I know. I’d thought your pain would lessen with time, but it’s only grown stronger. This must mean that Devorah is still alive. We must —” “Please stop, Azariah,” I interrupt him. “You always say, ‘We must believe. We must have faith.’ But it’s so hard! Perhaps… I can’t!” “Tamar, Hashem can do anything. He can make the Romans themselves bring Devorah back to us! Pray, Tamar. Pray.” Azariah’s words give me hope. From that day on, I walk down to that same rock by the Euphrates. Every morning, with the river roaring beside me, I pray for my sister’s return.

AZARIAH’S WORDS GIVE ME HOPE. FROM THAT DAY ON, I WALK DOWN TO THAT SAME ROCK BY THE EUPHRATES. EVERY MORNING, WITH THE RIVER ROARING BESIDE ME, I PRAY FOR MY SISTER’S RETURN.

Gad

As far as being a slave goes, I’ve been fortunate. I wasn’t separated from Ima. And although Marcus is his father’s favorite, Master doesn’t neglect Linus’s education. And so, I receive an education as well. Whenever his elderly tutor arrives, Linus conjures up some pretext to have me hover nearby. It’s not long before Master discovers our plan and takes Linus to task for it. “Apparently, I am paying 200 denarii a month for a Jewish slave to learn Greek and arithmetic. What have you to say, Linus?” “That you are getting a bargain, Pater.” “Oh? How so?” “Well, the way I see it, you are paying 200 denarii a month for two pupils. Gad stands off to the side attending me and can’t help but listen. Old Aristides bores me to tears, Pater. Gad’s clever and explains it to me again afterward.” Master’s lips twitch. “Very well, you cheeky whippersnapper. If it’s the only way you’ll learn anything, this will be our arrangement.” He wags his finger at Linus. “But if Aristides wises up to this scheme, I shall claim to know nothing of it, and one or both of you will be beaten.” He turns to go. “And Lucia claims you’re not clever. Ha!” 3

It turns out to be a wise investment. Since Master has ambitions for Marcus to enter the Senate, he is sent to be a Tribune with the Seventh Legion. This helps him gain the experience and connections he needs to eventually be successful in Rome. But alas, he involves himself in a corrupt scheme, and at the age of thirty, is murdered by a hired assassin. Master takes this very hard, losing interest in everything he’s always enjoyed. Linus has just come of age and is sent to look after the family investments. This requires him to travel all over the empire, and he is nearly never home, an arrangement that pleases all parties. Truthfully, while Linus’s good-naturedness, spontaneity and courage are admirable traits, they’re not always profitable. But that’s all right; he has me. From Egypt to Dacia, Hispania to Syria, the next several years see us journey to many far-flung provinces, looking after and expanding the family coffers. We have grand adventures wherever we travel, but none, however, are as life-altering as our adventure in the kingdom of Parthia3. I have misgivings about going and fear we’re embarking on a fool’s errand, but Linus is keen to establish connections with the silk merchants. This highly prized fabric can only be imported from lands in the Far East via Parthia. He hopes, by making the right impression on the right people, to establish trade directly with those mysterious foreigners. We’re on a boat on the Euphrates, and all is going well until Linus, while playing dice with one of the crewmen, accidentally divulges his nationality. Now although a peace treaty had been signed many years before Linus was even born, this Parthian has little love for Romans, especially one who’s bested him in dice. The crewman, enlisting the aid of his comrades, has us tossed overboard. In truth, we aren’t far from the bank, but though the river’s relatively calm, the night’s black as pitch, and I can’t swim.

sore loser won’t be so proud of his looks now that his nose is crushed. But in the end, I’m simply outmanned. They push me overboard, still clutching one leg of that wooden stool. The river hits me like one of Aunt Lucia’s slaps, momentarily paralyzing me, but instinct kicks in, and I push up to the surface. I gasp for air. I gasp again when I realize that Gad is plummeting straight at me. I move right, and he misses me by a hair, hitting the water like a battering ram. “Gad!” I scream, and dive down after him. He’s sinking fast, and I kick with all my strength to reach him. I catch the shoulder of his tunic and strain, dragging him up. My lungs are ablaze, the fingers of my right hand gripping him like a barnacle. Just when my lungs are about to burst, I resurface and pull Gad’s head out of the river. “Are you all right?” I sputter. He can’t speak. You’re alive, at any rate, I think. I hook my arm around his waist and head toward the bank. Gasping and wheezing, we heave ourselves onto a rock. I stand, trying to make out our surroundings, but my knees buckle, my legs fold, and pain explodes in my head.

“AFTER TWENTY YEARS! HASHEM HAS RETURNED MY SISTER’S SON!” HER EYES ARE BRIGHT WITH TEARS.

Tamar

The sun is beginning to rise as I walk to the rock where I pray. As I approach, I realize that something is wrong. “Shimon! Aaron! Help!” I shout for my sons. They’re at my side instantaneously. “What’s happened, Ima?” “Are you hurt?” “There!” I point. Two men lie prone on the rocks. The taller one is injured; blood coats his pale face. Working together, my sons turn him on his back as gently as possible. He moans. “He’s alive,” Shimon says, “but we’ll need to get him to the house and see to his injuries. Let’s see the other one.” When they turn him over, I nearly swoon. “Shimon!” Aaron exclaims. “He looks like you!” His green eyes flicker open for just a moment, but it’s enough. There’s a brown crescent-shaped speck on the bottom of his left iris. I know who he is.

Gad When my eyes open, I see myself in a mirror. The mirror smiles. How strange — I’m not smiling. My reflection speaks. “Baruch Hashem, you’re awake! You had us worried there.” Who is this man who looks so like me? I sense movement 232

on my right. “Ima?” Now I am truly confused. “Where am I? How did you get here?” She smiles at me, displaying a dimple in her left cheek. Ima has never had a dimple. “Is this a trick?” “Is your name Gad?” Now I’m sure something is very, very wrong. Does my mother not know my name? “You know it is. What is going on?” “Gad, it is you! Yishtabach Shemo! Just in time for Pesach, too! This is a miracle!” “What’s going on?” I’m bewildered. “After twenty years! Hashem has returned my sister’s son!” Her eyes are bright with tears. My aunt? Can this be true? “Didn’t you know you have family? Has my sister never spoken of me?” “Y-yes, of course. But not that you’re identical.” My head aches, and I close my eyes, fighting the rising nausea. “Oh! But you’re ill! We’ll leave you to your rest,” my aunt says, “and return later.” So many thoughts bounce around in my mind. My mother is a twin. So that young man who could almost be my reflection must be my cousin. Over the next few days, I recover enough to meet the family — my uncle and the rest of my cousins. Questions fly so quickly between us, it reminds me of the harpastum ball game they play back in Rome. “Is your mother alive?” asks Azariah. “Are there many Yehudim where you live?” asks Aaron. “Have you ever seen the emperor?” wonders little Chana. “Who is that strange man we found with you?” asks Tamar. “Oh, no! Linus! Where is he? Is he all right?” A peculiar look passes among the assembled. “Don’t tell me he’s dead!” Shimon answers, “Oh, no, he’s still alive. He’s not fully conscious, though.” I breathe a sigh of relief. “May I see him?” That peculiar look again. Azaraiah asks, “Who is he? He’s not a Yehudi, is he?” “Linus, Jewish? Hardly. He’s my master’s son.” But then I add quickly, “But he’s not like most Romans. We grew up together.” Azariah’s eyebrows rise up to meet his hairline. “Roman? No, he’s certainly not typical.” “He gets his coloring from his mother. She was a Briton.” “That’s not what I meant,” he says. My spoon clatters to the table. “What’s going on? What do

you mean? Speak plainly. Is he dying?” “He was badly injured when we found you.” Tamar says. “He had a gash on his head that we’ve sutured, but he’s developed a fever since.” I’m horrified, but Aaron tries to calm me. “We’re taking care of him as best as we can.” “Roman?” Azariah asks again, sitting up very straight. “Why do you seem so shocked?” There is irritation in my voice. “Well,” Aaron says, “When Ima stitched him, he suddenly opened his eyes.” “And?” “And he said something strange.” “Oh!” I finally understand. “He speaks Latin. Of course you didn’t understand what he said.” Azariah gives me that look again. “I’ve heard Latin before, and I’m sure you’ll agree that ‘Shema Yisroel Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad’ is most certainly not Latin.”

“SOMEHOW I DON’T THINK YOUR UNCLE, A JEW WHO ESCAPED JUDEA, IS GOING TO LIKE ME VERY MUCH.”

Linus

Mount Vesuvius must be erupting again. Inside my head. Intense light and then utter darkness. So, so hot. I must be dead. No! I don’t want to see Marcus yet! I can’t stop shaking. Darkness again. It must be years later when I open my eyes. I see Gad. Two of him? “Have I lost my mind?” I whisper. “You’re awake!” one of them cries. “How do you feel?” “Like my head is hosting a chariot race.” He has the audacity to laugh. “You’re all right! Same old Linus. No, don’t try to get up yet.” “I give the orders, you upstart.” I sit up, then regret it. I’ll never admit that to him, so I close my eyes. When I open them again hours later, I see someone else. “Devorah? No. I must be dying or going insane.” I groan. “How long have I been ill? Is this fellow your brother, Gad? How did she get here?” And that’s when they tell me the most incredible tale. They’re still talking, talking, talking when I fall back and all goes dark again. When I awaken, there’s just one of him this time — and he’s trying to spoon broth into my mouth. I grab the spoon out of his hand. “Am I an infant?” I growl. “You’re behaving like one.” “And you forget yourself. I’m the master.” “My deepest apologies, domine,” he rejoins. “My horse is more sincere.” I snort. “Was I dreaming? Or 234

are we really in your uncle’s home?” “We are, blessed be the Holy One.” “Blessed He may be for you,” I reply. “Somehow I don’t think your uncle, a Jew who escaped Judea, is going to like me very much.” “True. He hates Romans.” “Naturally.” “But he can’t help but respect a man who saved his nephew’s life.” My cheeks tingle. “Oh, that? One must protect his assets.” “Indeed. And one who says Shema Yisroel.” I must be feverish again. My face feels as fiery as my hair. “Your uncle’s a liar.” He smirks. Insufferable creature. “I must return to the Seder now. Try to rest.” I do try, but not for long. Peace and quiet is sickening in large doses. After two attempts that nearly make me reconsider, I finally manage to hoist myself onto my legs and remain upright. Then, like some dreadful pantomime performer, I shuffle along the wooden floor of the corridor toward the sound of voices. I pause at the entrance of the triclinium. The uncle looks majestic, though his green robes have obviously seen better days. The others, too, are dressed in their shabby finery and recline on couches similar to our lecti back home. A basket filled with what seems to be thin, crunchy bread is displayed in the center of a low table. As beautiful as it all looks, something the uncle says freezes me. Frankly, I don’t understand much, but there’s one word I recognize. Avdus. Slavery. The servants back home used to say that word. And yet strangely, tonight, in this pitiful farmhouse, hounded out of their homeland by my countrymen, they seem more regal than the emperor himself. A cloud has replaced my brain as I concentrate on Gad’s face. His expression is inscrutable. I feel a pit in my stomach that I know has absolutely nothing to do with my injuries. I’ve seen enough. I’m an intruder here. Silently, I drag myself back to my chamber and fall into bed. I think of my father, and how exasperated he usually is with me. I think of Marcus, and how proud my father was of him. But I also remember how all the slaves would practically shrink into the walls when they heard him approach. I must stay awake until Gad returns. I must ask him, though I can guess, what his uncle has said that has left him so perturbed. Marcus would’ve never had a serious conversation with a slave. But I am not Marcus.

Gad Some weeks later, when Linus is fit to travel, my uncle and cousins transport us across the river. Upon reaching town, we procure horses and make the overland journey to Syria. Arriving at the Roman garrison in Palmyra, Linus receives word that his father has died. His face twitches strangely. He stares at me, then suddenly jerks away. “I’m sorry, Linus,” I say. A strange snort comes forth from him, then a chuckle, and suddenly he’s vibrating with absurd laughter! Has he gone mad? “Lucia will grovel at my ‘barbarian’ feet!” he hooted. “Or maybe she’d rather take poison!” “Shall I call a doctor?” I ask. “You’ve had a shock.” “By the look of your face, so have you,” he retorts. His expression serious now, he shakes my hand. “Congratulations!” “What?” “Peel your jaw off the ground, man. I am the paterfamilias now,” Linus says. “When we arrive in Rome, I’ll take you and Devorah to the magistrate for manumission.” “What are you saying?” He sucks in a breath. “I’m saying that I will free you, you fool!” He turns his face from me again. “As much as it pains me to do so.” And he stomps off toward the baths, kicking up sand with every step. Linus is awkwardly silent and often short with me during our journey back, but he keeps his word. Months later, lawfully freed, Ima and I prepare to go. I feel elated but also sad as I take my leave of him on the portico in the garden, near the mulberry tree where Marcus had hung Linus all those years ago. “Are you sure you’ll manage without me?” “Come now, don’t be a sentimental old woman. Alastair is a perfectly competent scribe. How will you manage without me?” “I’ll miss you.” He stops abruptly to admire the peonies. “Please say you’ll come see us,” I say. “I’d hate to think that I’ll never see you again.” “Well, one never knows,” he replies. “I have to admit, those years we spent traveling together were my happiest. Aunt Lucia’s right, you know. I’ve never been a true Roman. Rome doesn’t always feel like home to me. I’ll see my sisters married and settled, though, before I decide what’s next for me.” “Will you go to your mother’s people in Britannia?” I wonder. He pulls a face. “And lose my ears to frostbite? Please, spare me.” He’s quiet for a moment. “I’m not quite sure what I’ll do, though I know G-d has a plan for us all.” “Don’t you mean ‘the gods’?” I tease him. “You heard what I said.” I inhale the perfume of Domina Aislynn’s white roses as we return to the domus. I embrace him. “My dear, dear friend. Thank you.” “Really, Gad. This is just too much,” he says. But I feel him hug me too.

A NATION REDEEMED “And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm” (Shemos 6:6). Pesach is a celebration of redemption. Let us take an expanded tour to learn more about three mitzvos of redemption — each intricately tied to Yetzias Mitzrayim in their own way.

Y. B L O O M I N G

Across all five Chumashim, and filling the pages of every siddur, we find myriads of references to Yetzias Mitzrayim. Not only do we have the solemn responsibility to continually remember this foundational moment, but a host of mitzvos are also directly and indirectly tied to commemorating our salvation. In fact, we even say during Friday night Kiddush that Shabbos, a mitzvah with no clear connection to it, is also sanctified as a zecher l’Yetzias Mitzrayim. Here’s what the Torah tells us in Parshas Bo about two such mitzvos: “And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Hashem killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt; this is why I sacrifice to Hashem the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons” (Shemos 13:15). These two mitzvos of pidyon haben and the more obscure pidyon peter chamor are redemptions of one sort, directly linked to Yetzias Mitzrayim and even dictated to us in the same parsha.

vivors who must bring a korban todah, or say Birchas Hagomel today. These four categories of survivors are related to the experiences of the Yidden who left Mitzrayim. One of them is “he who was imprisoned and has been released.” As a nation, never did we experience a case of pidyon shvuyim as we did on that fateful morning when we left Pharaoh and his fortified country behind. Before we proceed to learn more about these mitzvohs of pidyon, it is worth mentioning another thread that ties these mitzvos together. The Yerushalmi teaches us (Shekalim 2:3) in regard to pidyon haben and the amounts that must be handed over to the kohen: “You sold Rochel’s firstborn for twenty pieces of silver, therefore you too shall give five shekalim — twenty gerah — for your firstborn.” Yosef’s sale into servitude and imprisonment was only undone hundreds of years later, when the bechorim of the Bnei Yisroel were spared.

But there’s also another mitzvah of pidyon, of redemption, which has bound Yidden together throughout galus: pidyon shvuyim.

It’s Zman Cheiruseinu. Let us learn a little bit about these wonderful mitzvos, which directly link us to the events of over three thousand years ago.

In Tehillim 107, we learn of the groups of sur-

PIDYON HABEN

I

n a world with an ever-increasing number of simchos, ka”h, one kind of simcha and

seudas mitzvah has managed to retain its allure, being eagerly attended by all invitees, regardless of how busy their daily schedule may be: the pidyon haben.

This mitzvah is a rare once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The number of halachic requirements as to which newborns require redeeming makes it so that probably less than a quarter of families are zoche to participate in it. And the ceremony itself, much of which is based on halacha as well as some customs, boasts a uniquely wholesome feel and is remembered by attendees long after those little garlic and sugar cube baggies have been consumed or misplaced. If pidyon habens are cherished and relished this much by the general community, we can only imagine what they mean to the kohanim on the other side of this unique transaction. For the first leg of this pidyon tour, we spoke with Rav Yakov Elya Turnheim, a kohen from respected lineage, about this mitzvah, its attributes and what it means to him.

Being the chosen kohen for a pidyon haben is a rare kibud. In your personal experience, why have young fathers chosen you to perform this mitzvah?

I would say that the majority of people start out by searching for a relative who is a kohen. For me, personally, my earliest pidyon haben was for a talmid I was close with, and they’ve essentially been the ones who have invited me since. The entire pidyon haben event is unique. How much variance is there between different kehillos and communities?

The Gemara tells us the basics of how it should be done, and the Rishonim, including the Mordechai, give a more detailed description of the entire ceremony, much of which has remained unchanged throughout the ages. That being said, there are some aspects left up to minhagim, and as a Satmar chassid, I try to stick to how things are done by us. Can you briefly walk us through the essentials of how the mitzvah is performed?

Unlike a bris, for example, the seudah begins before the actual pidyon haben takes place. In some kehillos, the kohen will go over to speak to the infant’s mother and confirm that the child meets all criteria for this mitzvah. This is a minhag 246

Coins that the father of our interviewee received years ago at a pidyon haben, gebentched by the previous Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoel zt”l.

I do as well. The father will then bring the child before the kohen — who remains seated while the father stands — and say that his wife, who is neither a bas kohen or bas levi, gave birth to a bechor. The kohen will then ask, “What do you prefer, the child or the five silver coins?” When the father responds that he prefers the child, he recites the brachos of Al Pidyon Haben and Shehecheyanu and gives the coins to the kohen, who will generally count it to make sure the amount is right. The Rishonim direct the father to say something to the effect of, ‘This money should take the place of the child,’ but in our circles, we don’t do that today. Finally, the kohen makes a bracha on wine and says Birchas Kohanim for the young child. Wait a minute… I’m sure some readers are scratching their heads right now and wondering what happens if the father says he wants to keep the money. Would you be heading home with a newborn in a stroller?

(Laughs) Don’t worry... This is merely a formality established by Chazal in order to endear the mitzvah to the father.

You mentioned five silver coins. There has recently been some controversy about the usage of certain silver coins, and the Hisachdus organization even released the first-ever coins with a hechsher. What can you tell us about this matter?

First, it must be noted that you don’t need to use five silver coins; that is merely the value that the father has to give to the kohen — a couple of hundred dollars. That being said, many Yidden do want to give silver coins as is written in the Torah. Regarding the recent controversy, some of the silver coins in circulation did not contain the requisite amount of silver to qualify, which is why some now only purchase coins that they know meet this threshold. Let’s talk about the timing of the mitzvah. Why are most pidyon habens held in the afternoon?

Generally speaking, mitzvos are to be performed as soon as possible, which is why a bris generally takes place in the morning. According to halacha, however, a pidyon haben can only take place after a full month has passed since the child was born, so we try to wait until the afternoon of day 31 to ensure that it is indeed so. And while pidyon habens are sometimes performed at night, it is preferable to do them during the daytime, a period of increased chasadim. After 2,000 years, it’s hard to know who is a true kohen today. How can fathers know with certainty that the mitzvah of being done right?

Good question. Some poskim, including Rav Yakov Emden, zt”l, indeed advise that bechorim should be redeemed by multiple kohanim so as to increase their chances of a pidyon done right. It is said that the Shinover Rav, who was a bechor, spent many years doing the mitzvah again and again with different kohanim. However, there are families who carry the mesorah of being true kohanim, and baruch Hashem, we are among them. How so?

We are grandchildren of the great Avodas Yisaschar, whose Rebbe, Rav Chaim Meir Schapiro, zt”l, known as the Saraf of Moglintzia and a grandson of the Kozhnitzer Maggid, said about him that he is a true kohen. This carries a lot 248

of weight by chassidim. If we talk about pidyon habens, we must mention the garlic and sugar cubes that are distributed. What is the reason for this?

Everyone knows that the seudah of a pidyon haben is a source of tremendous segulos. It is even said that eating from one is akin to fasting 84 fast days. Garlic and sugar both have lengthy shelf lives and provide dishes with notable flavor. This means that the meal of the pidyon haben ends up reaching further and for longer periods of time. There is a minhag by some to be Harav aggressive when Yisoschor Dov Berish Turnheim “grabbing” the garzt”l, the Avodas lic and sugar. I’m Yisoschor, who not sure where this was considered by many to be a custom originated, reliably authenbut I once suggesttic kohen. ed that since the mitzvah is related to Yetzias Mitzrayim, it is a fitting remembrance for the bizos hayam, where the Yidden grabbed as much loot as they could. Let’s talk about the mitzvah from your point of view. How do you view the opportunity to be the chosen kohen?

It’s truly humbling when I’m honored to perform this mitzvah. This is not only because it is a rare mitzvah that most Yidden are unable to perform, but also because as kohanim in galus, it is among the only mitzvos that we can still perform to the fullest extent. In fact, of the 24 matnos kehunah that the Torah commands to be given to a kohen, this is one of just two that we still receive today for our personal benefit. Speaking of which, what do you do with the coins?

Personally, I just hold onto them as a chefetz shel mitzvah, but we are free to enjoy them however we see fit. Some of those who hold the position that kohanim today aren’t reliably kohanim suggest that the kohen should just return it to the father (of his own volition, of course). The Toldos Aharon Rebbe, who is a kohen, is known to melt the coins and use the silver in a becher or similar items. Let us hope that this Pesach we should be back in Yerushalayim, where the kehunah will be returned to its full glory. Amein. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us.

PIDYON PETER CHAMOR

I

n an era where our interactions with living animals consist mostly of chasing them away from our garbage cans and the occasional trip to the zoo, a mitzvah involving the redemption of the eldest male offspring of a donkey seems to be of little relevance. But the Torah and its mitzvos are eternal, and pidyon

peter chamor is not merely an opportunity for a Chol Hamoed attraction or pictures in your favorite pictorial. In the times when Yidden lived in agricultural societies, this mitzvah and its halachos, which apply both in Eretz Yisroel and abroad, were common facts of life. Indeed, the entire first perek of Mesches Bechoros is specifically

dedicated to the many intricacies of pidyon peter chamor. What actually is pidyon peter chamor? Well, every bechor carries a certain sanctity. This applies to people as well as kosher animals. But there is one non-kosher animal that also bears some level of holiness, and that is the donkey. As mentioned in the introduction to this feature, this mitzvah is directly tied to Yetzias Mitzrayim, and the Gemara (Bechoros 5b) suggests that donkeys require redeeming because they helped Bnei Yisroel carry their heavy loads upon leaving Mitzrayim. Be that as it may, the halacha is that a firstborn male donkey cannot be used for any personal benefit; even transporting something on its back or using its hair is prohibited. In order to redeem it, the owner must in its stead give a lamb or goat to a kohen, at which time the holiness is removed from the donkey, and the kohen’s gift can be used as he sees fit. Among the mitzvos that still apply today, this has to be among the most rare ones, and many Yidden have tried to have a part in performing it. As you will see in this conversation with Reb Aharon Protovin, this is by no means an easy feat.

How did you get involved with this mitzvah?

I worked in Klausenburg Camp for many years, and part of my job was to take care of its well-known petting zoo. The zoo was a pet project (pardon my pun) of Reb Shia Moskowitz, the longtime manager of the camp. Every summer, he would help set up the zoo again and acquire animals from local farms he partnered with. The kids loved the experience, and children would come from other camps to visit it as well. I should also note that many rabbanim came to check out the farm over the years because we had brought together a large collection of animals, many of which are discussed in halacha. Rav Chaim Leib Katz, the Serdahely Rav, was among them, and he told us that we are zoche to do a mitzvah in the Torah every day that others can’t, by feeding the animals before we ourselves eat, as the halacha states. What was your prior experience with animals that qualified you for this job?

I’ve simply always had a knack for it. Even in my younger years, I would read books about animals, seek out opportunities to play with them, and so on. But a lot of it I learned on the job. Were the children actively involved in caring for the animals, or was it more for them to have what to look at?

Of course they cared for the animals! They loved working with them. They helped feed them, clean them, and generally care for them. We also had an

incubator where eggs would be kept warm until hatching, and the boys were fascinated to watch it all happen live. One summer I promised them that they’ll have duck by their siyum, and we had a shochet come down so that they could eat a duck raised on the farm. It was truly an immersive and transformative experience for all involved.

It was during the summer, and thousands of people, including many rabbanim, came from all around the Catskills to witness the event live. Bleachers and tables were set up outside to accommodate everyone. I remember that it rained all day, and we were getting really concerned about the impact the weather would have. But then, shortly before the event was due to start, the skies cleared. And when the ceremony was complete, it started raining again. We took that as a sign that our efforts were appreciated in Shamayim.

Where did the idea of getting a donkey for the mitzvah come from?

What happened with the donkey and the kohen’s new lamb afterward?

I was just one of the people who wanted to have a part in this rare mitzvah. There is a Yid in Boro Park named Reb Hershel Shputz who was a big supporter of the farm, simply because he wanted the kids to enjoy this fun experience. He would always sponsor items we needed, including the aforementioned incubator. One day about thirteen or fourteen years ago, I was discussing the idea of having our own donkey bechor, and he jumped at the opportunity, telling me that I should dive in headfirst and that he will cover any related costs. And so we did.

There was a farm not far from there, on Hasbrouck Road, and they asked to take the donkey off our hands. The kohen, who was now the rightful owner of the lamb, took it back to his colony, where they brought down a shochet and were able to perform more mitzvos with it.

How does one go about acquiring a bechor?

You can’t buy one; it needs to be born to you. So we purchased a very young female donkey, and simply hoped that in the future, her firstborn would be a male donkey. And baruch Hashem, it was. What happened next?

The Klausenburg Rebbe, shlit”a, as well as many other chashuve Yidden, had partnered with us in owning the donkey. So when the grand ceremony was planned, the Rebbe naturally received the honor of performing the mitzvah. The kohen was Reb Baruch Yehuda Rubin, father-in-law of the aforementioned Mr. Shputz who was instrumental in making it all happen. Rav Fishel Hersh254

Do you see yourself doing this mitzvah again?

Baruch Hashem, I was fortunate to have performed it once, and I’m grateful for that. With all that goes into it and with my day-to-day responsibilities as a rebbi, I don’t know whether I’ll ever have the opportunity again. I’ll always have fond memories of that period, and the mitzvah will remain forever, of course.

PIDYON SHVUYIM

T

he Rambam in Hilchos Matnas Aniyim (8:10) begins and ends the halacha of Pidyon Shvuyim by twice stating that “there is no mitzvah greater than this one.”

In between, the Rambam explains that the struggle of a captive includes being hungry, thirsty, unclothed, as well as having their lives in danger. He also goes on to list multiple mitzvos in the Torah that command us to help a captive and multiple aveiros trans-

gressed by those who ignore their plight. Much has changed over the years, and the day-to-day concerns of captives have certainly lessened. But that hasn’t stopped Klal Yisroel from holding this mitzvah in especially high regard, and stepping up in every way possible to secure the release of a fellow Yid behind bars by any means necessary. One man has made it his mission in recent years to give voice to the voiceless and help individuals get out of prison early, or when not possible, alleviate their struggles while behind prison walls. Here we spoke with Jeff, a Yid in his 70s who has dedicated himself to this cause, about his work, its impact and what the community should know.

What got you involved with this great mitzvah?

I was approached by Rabbi Avrohom Horowitz from Monsey (the DzikovMelitz Rav), who is known to help Yidden in prison, and he recruited me to assist the L’asurim organization in supporting the needs of those behind bars. Did you have any prior background in this arena?

No, not really. I’ve been working for over 50 years, though, so I’ve accumulated a lot of knowledge across many fields. A large part of my portfolio includes bankruptcy consulting, which gave me insight into the legal world and how to deal with with bureaucratic processes. Can you share a little bit about what your chesed work entails?

There are many aspects to it, but I’ll share a couple of things that I’ve been busy with in recent days. I just spent an hour and a half on the phone with a woman whose husband has been sentenced to five to fifteen years in prison. His alleged financial crime wasn’t great, but they classified it as a hate crime because the victims were elderly and disabled. There’s not much we can do for him at the moment, but I spoke with her, explained what the process is going to be like, how parole works, when she can hopefully expect him to come home, and so on. But some things are much more tangible. Right now I’m busy with what’s called an Article 78 proceeding, where we are appealing a decision of a parole board to the courts. In a nutshell, parole boards decide whether someone should be released from prison after serving a portion of their sentence. In this case, the man’s crime was committed 35 years ago, and he has already served 22 years. I believe that the parole board is completely wrong for not releasing him yet, and we are working hard to get a judge to order a new parole review. 258

Most people cannot really assist you with what you’re doing. How can everyday people support prisoners?

It can be as simple as contacting one of the chesed organizations and getting addresses of inmates in order to write to them. I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly heartwarming it is for them to feel like people on the outside know about them and care about them. We have put together resources to guide people on what they can send and how. Do you feel like things have gotten better in regard to allowing prisoners access to the things we take for granted in the outside world?

Unfortunately not. In fact, the opposite is true. Just a few months ago, the authorities essentially banned homemade packages from being sent to prisoners, which further isolated them from the world outside. I applaud Assemblyman David Weprin for coming out forcefully and leading protests against this policy. Why did they ban it?

The given reason is that they fear that drugs are being smuggled in, but it doesn’t add up. All packages are opened, scanned and thoroughly checked. If that’s not enough, they’ve also clamped down harder on other harmless things like wearing hoodies, which inmates often need due to the cold. Visiting is also increasingly difficult, especially for observant Jews, because some facilities only allow weekend visits, and some will stagger their visits between Shabbos and Sunday, leaving some prisoners without much of an available window for their families to come by. What can be done about these things?

Lobbying today is one of the most powerful methods of Pidyon Shvuyim. The only thing that can change things is

applying pressure on politicians to encourage them to get prisons to treat incarcerated people humanely.

But what do you say to those who will counter that we aren’t deterring criminals if we go easy on them?

Many people struggle to find sympathy for criminals. After all, these are people who did pretty bad things to end up in this position. How do you feel about that?

Look at the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). They have prisons too, and offenders are kept off the streets and their freedoms taken away. But they are treated humanely, and their sentences are shorter. And guess what, their rate of recidivism (returning to criminal activity) is lower than ours!

There are many layers to this. The first is that some people get caught up in things they’re not really guilty of. Then there are those whose sentences don’t fit the crime. But even absent that, these are our fellow human beings. Each of them was born to a father and mother. They were all innocent little kids at some point. Maybe their circumstances led them astray, or maybe they had a difficult period or a bad moment. Regardless of what their story was, they are people like us, created in the image of the One Above, and they should be treated humanely even if they aren’t ready to be released back into society, which they often should be. On a related topic, there has been much discussion about prison reform. In your opinion, what do you wish to see changed?

If there’s one thing I’d love to see go, it’s what’s called indeterminate sentencing, where the judge establishes the minimum period of imprisonment and maximum term of imprisonment, based on certain statutes. Some of these ranges can be extreme, going from a number of years to potentially life in prison. The problem with these things is that the judge, after hearing all evidence and really digging into the case and the perpetrator’s life, will very often wish to sentence them on the lower end, but they’re prevented from doing that. And years later, the unelected parole board members, who have little accountability, will let power go to their heads and give people far more stringent sentences for no reason. 260

You mentioned earlier that some innocent people end up being declared guilty. That would probably be Pidyon Shvuyim of the highest order. Have you ever been involved in such a case?

Yes. Here’s a story: There was a Jewish man who was convicted of hiring someone to kill someone else. It wasn’t true. But he sat for 25 years! We gathered affidavits from people involved in the story and presented an overwhelming case proving his innocence to the board. He was recently released. Now we are working on what’s called a 440 Motion in order to get the actual conviction overturned as well. How has your own life been impacted by these acts of chesed?

It can sometimes be very frustrating, but it is also very rewarding at times. One of my closest friends today, and a man I talk to almost every evening, is someone whose release I’ve helped bring about. Knowing that someone is living a free and prosperous life because of the efforts I was involved in is a reward in and of itself. Any final words to our readers?

Have compassion on those in prison. It’s sometimes easy to sit in our comfortable homes and judge others as less than us. But they are our fellow brothers, and we can help bring them a taste of cheirus, to one extent or another.

Monuments to Freedom SARAH SHLESINGER

Yetzias Mitzrayim is when Klal Yisroel actually became a nation. As such, we commemorate the miracles Hashem performed to redeem us — not only on Pesach, but every Shabbos when we make Kiddush: “zecher l’Yetzias Mitzrayim.” This concept of memorializing freedom and emancipation is universal among the nations, though on a much humbler level. Join us as we journey around the world and explore several such monuments.

The Wilberforce Monument KINGSTON UP ON HULL , ENGL AND

William Wilberforce is renowned as the foremost abolitionist of his time. In 1780, at the tender age of 21, Wilberforce was elected to Parliament for his home city of Hull. A deeply religious man, Wilberforce was horrified by the institution of slavery. Since the 16th century, British ships dominated the Atlantic slave trade, transporting over 11 million Africans under barbaric conditions, and selling them as slaves. For 18 years, Wilberforce tirelessly sponsored numerous anti-slavery motions. In a 1791 speech to the House of Commons, he admonished his fellow MPs: “Having heard all this you may choose to look the other way, but you can never again say you did not know.” Finally, in 1807, a bill was passed to abolish the slave trade in the British West Indies. But the bill didn’t free those who were already enslaved. Finally, on July 26, 1833, the Slavery Abolition Act was passed, emancipating all British-owned slaves. Wilberforce passed away three days later.

Monument to Freedom ST. HELIER, JERSE Y

Eighty miles south of the English coast, close to Normandy, lies the archipelago known as the Channel Islands. While not part of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands are divided into two British Crown Dependencies, namely the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey. So while these islands have retained governmental autonomy since the 1200s, they remain a possession of the British Crown, making their inhabitants British citizens. When France fell to the Nazis in 1940, the British government made the decision to demilitarize the archipelago and redeploy the troops stationed there to where they were more urgently needed. An evacuation effort was mobilized, and over just ten days, was successful in transporting 25,000 citizens to England, though the vast majority of islanders remained. On June 28, 1940, the Nazis attacked the islands and immediately occupied four of them: Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney and Sark. For the next five years, life for the British citizens of the islands changed drastically. The currency was changed to the Reichsmark, and inhabitants had to obey the Nazi laws. Anyone breaking the rules faced imprisonment or deportation to prisons or concentration camps. When the war in Europe ended, so did the occupation. In 1995, the Liberation Sculpture, commemorating 50 years since the liberation of Jersey, was unveiled. The sculpture depicts six islanders releasing a billowing Union Flag with the assistance of a liberator dressed in army fatigues. While the adults’ faces express relief, only the face of the child conveys the excitement and joy of the moment.

Les Braves Omaha Beach Memorial NORMANDY, FR ANCE

The Battle of Normandy launched the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. The D-Day operation combined the land, air and sea forces of the Allied armies in the largest invasion force in history. After a massive airborne assault, nearly 160,000 Allied soldiers crossed the English Channel and landed on five beaches in Normandy. The fighting was brutal, with the Allies suffering at least 10,000 casualties. The worst ordeal of the Allied forces was experienced by the U.S. 1st Infantry on Omaha Beach, with 2,400 casualties. But despite the heavy losses, D-Day was ultimately a success. It opened a major front and led to France’s liberation, denying the Nazis further economic and manpower exploitation of that country. The U-boat ports and a large chunk of Germany’s air defense network were captured, leading most of the German high command to be convinced that total defeat was inevitable. On June 5, 2004, the day before the 60th anniversary of D-Day, Les Braves, a sculpture created by Anilore Banon, was inaugurated. The monument, characterized by three stainless steel wings and towers, is located at the center of Omaha Beach and consists of three elements: “The Wings of Hope,” “Rise, Freedom!” and “The Wings of Fraternity.” In the words of the sculptress, “I created this sculpture to honor the courage of these men: sons, husbands, and fathers, who… sacrificed their lives in the hope of freeing the French people.” One million visitors come every year to pay their respects to the brave soldiers who liberated France— and eventually, all of Europe.

Berlin Wall Segments BRUS SEL S, BELGIUM

274

The Boro Park View

When World War II finally ended in 1945, the Allies split Germany into four occupation zones. The eastern section fell under Soviet control, and the western section was divided by the United States, Great Britain, and France. While Berlin itself was located in the Soviet section, it was agreed that the capital city would also be divided among the Allies. Both the United States and the Soviet Union emerged from the war as “superpowers,” and each was eager to exert their influence. Over time, the divisions between the two became more pronounced. In 1952, the Soviets closed the border between East and West Germany, but their oppressed citizens could still escape via Berlin, where the border was still open. The existence of a conspicuously capitalist city right beside them was unacceptable to Soviet leaders, and in 1961, a series of concrete border walls, equipped with guard towers and mine strips, was constructed. For nearly three decades, the Berlin Wall kept East Germans from escaping to the affluent West. But by 1989, civil unrest in East Germany put intense pressure on the East German government to ease travel restrictions. On the evening of November 9, a government spokesman reported that East Germans would be free to travel to the west effective “immediately,” failing to explain that some regulations would remain. The media then erroneously reported that the border was open. Swarms of Berliners flocked to the checkpoints, with the crowds growing so large that the confused guards were overwhelmed and allowed them to flood through. People used hand tools to pick away chunks of the wall, while bulldozers tore down entire sections. In 1990, Germany was officially reunified, and the fall of the Soviet Union followed. Hundreds of wall segments have been shipped to over fifty countries around the world. Notably, a section bearing the portrait of President John F. Kennedy is displayed directly in front of the European Commission headquarters in Brussels. These pieces of wall remind us that any barriers erected to impede liberty and democracy can be dismantled.

The Freedom Monument RIGA , L AT VIA

Situated along the Baltic Sea, Latvia shares borders with Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. Latvia had been part of the Russian Empire since the 1700s, but following the Russian Revolution, declared itself an autonomous nation. A Soviet invasion triggered the outbreak of the Latvian War of Independence, which ultimately came to an end with the 1920 signing of an armistice officially recognizing Latvia as an independent nation. In 1922, Latvia’s Prime Minister Zigfrīds Anna Meierovics announced a contest to design a freedom monument honoring the soldiers lost in the war and to serve as a symbol of Latvian sovereignty and freedom. In 1929, the design Shine Like a Star! by sculptor Kārlis Zāle was eventually declared the winner, with construction starting soon after. Standing 141 feet high, the monument depicts a copper figure of Liberty holding three gilded stars atop a granite base. It is divided into 13 sculptural groups on four levels, with a total of 56 sculptures depicting Latvian culture and history. The monument lies on the exact location where an equestrian sculpture of Peter the Great stood before the war of independence, in another nod to the defeat of tyranny.

Azadi Tower TEHR AN, IR AN

In the center of Tehran’s largest square, the Azadi Tower (“Freedom Tower” in Persian) rises 148 feet in the air. It was commissioned in 1971 by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to mark 2,500 years since the founding of the Persian Empire. Originally named Shahyad Tower in the Shah’s honor, it was built from 25,000 blocks of white marble cut from the mountains of the Isfahan province. In 1979, following growing dissatisfaction with his rule and anger over the use of his secret police, the Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah from power and forced him into exile. During the revolution, the Shahyad Tower came to symbolize the freedom the Iranians were seeking, and it was eventually renamed the Azadi Tower. Paradoxically, Hossein Amanat, the architect of the very tower that is said to represent freedom, was forced to leave his homeland when the Ayatollah came to power, because he belonged to a persecuted religious minority. He has not been able to return ever since. Indeed, countless similar instances of religious persecution and human rights violations have prompted many in the west to comment that the Azadi Tower symbolizes irony rather than liberty.

The Emancipation and Freedom Monument RICHMOND, VIRGINIA , USA

On September 22, 1862, just days after the bloody Battle of Antietam, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, warning that if the Confederate States didn’t return to the Union, then as of January 1, all enslaved people in those territories “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” They didn’t surrender, and the proclamation went into effect. While historians debate whether Lincoln truly had the legal authority to issue the proclamation, it clearly changed the focus of the war. Until then, secessionists claimed they were fighting to protect their state rights, but after the proclamation, they couldn’t deny that the conflict was about preserving the institution of slavery. France and England, who had considered aiding the Confederates, were now kept out of the war, since slavery had been abolished in their own countries. This paved the way for the complete abolition of slavery in America, becoming official with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. Over 150 years later, in Richmond, Virginia, the former capital of the Confederacy, the Emancipation and Freedom Monument was unveiled. The monument, designed by Thomas J. Warren, displays two 12-foot bronze statues of a man and a woman carrying an infant, freshly emancipated. Shackles fall from the man’s wrists, while the woman holds a document inscribed with the date January 1, 1863. The unveiling was a poignant moment for the descendants of former slaves, coming just two weeks after the last Confederate monument in Richmond, a massive sculpture of Robert E. Lee, was removed after more than a century.

The Liberty Bell

PHIL ADELPHIA , PENNSYLVANIA

Commissioned in 1752 and inscribed with “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof,” the Liberty Bell is an icon of American independence. The famous crack in the bell is said to have occurred soon after its arrival from London. Repaired twice, the bell summoned lawmakers to the legislature and notified citizens of public meetings. On July 8, 1776, bells throughout the colonies — the Liberty Bell possibly among them — summoned citizens to public readings of the newly signed Declaration of Independence. The Liberty Bell rang out often over the next 70 years, such as after the signing of the Constitution, and after the demise of many Founding Fathers, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and others. In 1777, the bell was threatened by British forces who planned to melt it down for ammunition. For its protection, the bell was removed and sent under armed guard to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it was hidden for about a year until the British left Philadelphia. Since 2003, the Liberty Bell has been on display at the Liberty Bell Center in front of Independence Hall, where visitors can view it free of charge nearly every day of the year. The Liberty Bell receives approximately one million visitors annually, with the year 1976 holding the record of 3.2 million visitors in honor of America’s bicentennial.

Liberation Memorial

JERSE Y CIT Y, NE W JERSE Y

In 1983, the State of New Jersey commissioned Liberation. Standing 15 feet tall and weighing two tons, the bronze sculpture represents an American soldier carrying a liberated Holocaust survivor. Designed and executed by Nathan Rapoport, a Jewish sculptor who escaped Warsaw just before the Nazi blitzkrieg began in 1939, and sponsored by a coalition of veterans’ organizations, the monument lies in Liberty State Park. It is strategically placed so that it creates one point of a “topological triad” together with Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. This clearly indicates that we must recognize the Holocaust as a counterpoint to the American principles of freedom and equality. The monument pays tribute to the heroic GIs who liberated the concentration camps and made it possible for the survivors to rise from the ashes and rebuild their lives in America. As New Jersey governor Thomas H. Kean remarked at the monument’s opening, “This monument says that we, as a collective people, stand for freedom. We, as Americans, are not oppressors…. Our role in the world is to preserve and promote that precious, precious thing that we consider to be a free democracy.”

The Statue of Liberty NE W YORK HARBOR, NY

286

The Boro Park View

Universally recognized as a monument of freedom, the Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from France to America. A joint project, the 151-foot tall copper statue was designed by Frenchman Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and took nearly ten years to complete, while the 154-foot granite pedestal was designed by American Richard Morris Hunt. Finally, on October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland oversaw its official dedication before thousands of spectators. Since then, the statue stands as an icon of freedom and a symbol of welcome to millions of immigrants seeking liberty and economic opportunity. Dressed in Roman-style robes, Liberty holds a torch above her head in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with the date July 4, 1776, in her left. She wears a seven-spiked crown to represent rays of light as well as the seven seas and continents. At her feet lies a broken shackle and chain as she steps forward to freedom, symbolizing the abolition of slavery. In 1903, a bronze plaque inscribed with Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus” was added to the base. Lady Liberty draws approximately 3.5 million visitors annually. For over 100 years, visitors could climb the 354 steps from the main lobby to look out the 25 windows in her crown. However, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the statue was closed. In 2004, the pedestal was reopened, but it wasn’t until October of 2022 that the crown was once again opened to the public. Tickets to the crown sell out quickly due to their extreme popularity, but the breathtaking views make the $25 and the trek up completely worthwhile.

KOL KOREI FROM GEDOLEI HARABBANIM

‫בס“ד‬

SHLITA

In recent years there has been a serious deterioration concerning the wigs. “The Defender has become The Prosecutor”, whereby the precious mitzvah of Kisui Rosh, the purpose of which is to add to the married woman’s modesty, has turned in many cases into a stumbling block of immodesty. Already in the year 5756 (1996) Gedolei Yisroel wrote that the vast majority of the new wigs are not in accordance with the ways of modesty. Since then and up until today the situation only gets worse and worse. Therefore we hereby proclaim that all efforts must be made to correct this. In addition, we strengthen and encourage those women who due to the above deterioration have taken upon themselves, with their husbands consent, not to go out at all with a wig but rather only with a cloth headcovering. And challila to discourage those who strengthen themselves in this way. On the contrary, at a time like this when the wigs are getting further and further away from modesty, we should rejoice and bless this chizuk and we wish there would be many more such women in Klal Yisroel. •

Every time a woman refrains from wearing a wig, it is a zechus and mitzvah on its own. (Maran Hagoan R’Yosef Sholom Elyashiv zt”l)

•

One must cover all the hair with the cloth headcovering, which should be modest and suitable.

“Any person who admits the truth will agree with the above-mentioned information.”

HaRav HaGaon R’Shamai Gross

“No Rav has ever permitted the wigs that are being worn today.”

HaRav HaGaon R’Sariel Rosenberg

“The subject of Kisui Rosh for women is an area that requires chizuk. Fortunate is one who rectifies this matter.”

“It is clear and evident that the wig situation requires great rectification. Therefore, the modest women who took upon themselves to wear a cloth head covering should be encouraged.”

Leil HaSeder is a treasure trove of customs and traditions that vary by community. While the prevalent minhagim of Yidden of Ashkenazic descent are generally similar in nature, Sefardi communities across the globe maintain unique ways of celebrating this auspicious night.

IRAN

MOROCCO

The song of Dayeinu comes alive among the Yidden of Iran. With each verse, they act out the affliction of Klal Yisroel in Mitzrayim, pantomiming how the Mitzrim hit the Yidden, and how Hashem ultimately took us out.

When it comes to Yidden of Morocco, the one who leads the Seder lifts the ke’arah and passes it over the heads of everyone sitting at the table while reciting a special pasuk about Klal Yisroel leaving Mitzrayim in a hurry. Even sleeping babies in a different room are not left out of this minhag; the ke’arah is whirled above their heads, too! Only then can the Seder begin.

IRAQ After Yachatz, the children of Iraqi Yidden take the afikoman, wrap it in a beggar’s satchel, and leave the house. They knock at the front door, with the satchel on their shoulders and a walking stick in their hands. Someone opens the door for them, and they hold a customary conversation in which they pretend to be Yidden traveling from Mitzrayim to Eretz Yisroel.

BUCHARIA At the Seder of Yidden of Bucharia, during Ha Lachma Anya, one person at the table lifts two matzos in his right hand and sings a pasuk out loud. Then he passes it to the person sitting near him, who follows the same routine. Everyone at the table has a chance to join in the song. Yes, all who are in need of a Seder are welcome!

TRIPOLI, LIBYA

ETHIOPIA

The ke’arah must be rather large in Tripoli communities! The custom is to place upon it one egg per family member, and some even place two eggs per person.

Since there were no haggadahs in Ethiopia — an amazing fact, considering that the haggadah’s nearly identical nusach across most kehillos attests that the original version was very widespread — the Yidden of Ethiopia would read pesukim about Yetzias Mitzrayim directly from the Torah.

INDIA In India, the haggadah was translated to Morati and Hindi and recited that way by most local Yidden.

YEMEN

KURDISTAN

There is no ke’arah on the brimming Seder table of Yidden of Yemenite descent. Instead, the simanim of the ke’arah are scattered across the table.

The Seder was a communal event in Kurdistan, with many families joining together to celebrate the Yom Tov of freedom. A typical Seder could easily host more than 100 guests.

DJERBA, TUNISIA In homes of Yidden in Djerba, after Yachatz, the head of the household would place the afikoman bag on his shoulder and go around to the neighbors with messages of geulah, such as, “Moshiach is on his way!” or, “L’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim!” May we merit their fulfillment soon, in our days!

DID YOU KNOW? While Ashkenazim associate kitniyos with Sefardim, the custom is not uniform at all. Some communities of the Eidot Hamizrach, as many prefer to be called, eat rice but not beans or legumes; others eat beans but not rice; and so on. It’s a matter of minhag hamakom.

HOW’S THE ROWBOAT? IT’S NOT IN THE BEST SHAPE. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO THE HULL HERE?

IT’S IN BAD SHAPE. BUT I THINK IT’LL STILL FLOAT.

NO IDEA…

HANG ON, I’LL BE BACK.

GOOD. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SHIP!

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU’LL MANAGE TO FIX OUR SHIP? THAT WE’LL MAKE IT HOME?

THIS IS SO COOL… WHAT DO YOU THINK SHIMON’S DOING RIGHT NOW? IM YIRTZEH HASHEM…

HMM? OH, I DUNNO. NOT MUCH HE CAN DO ABOUT US. HE’S PROBABLY IN HIS WORKSHOP, SHOEING A HORSE OR SOMETHING.

I WISH THERE WERE A WAY TO TELL HIM WE’RE ALL RIGHT…

WHAT?

I DON’T BELIEVE IT!

HE’S PROBABLY WORRIED SICK ABOUT US!

New doesn’t mean naive. Just because you don’t have 7 years of

workforce experience doesn’t mean you should be shortchanged. You matter. You should have a boss that’s a leader. You should earn more

than the block’s teenage sitter. You shouldn’t be

plunked in front of a keyboard to enter data for

the next 5 years. And you shouldn’t ever

consider a culture where the office gossip is gulped down faster than the coffee.

Yes, you’re a fresh graduate. But that makes you enthusiastic. Idealistic. Teachable. Get a job

where they will invest in you. Train you. Build you.

Find a workplace that deserves you. Sync NY Recruiting Agency wants to embark on

this job seeking adventure with you. Explain your options, weigh your offers, negotiate your terms, and guide you to your first job. You may be new, but we’re not.

It is not for nothing that an estimated 30 million people visit Niagara Falls each year. A collective name for three separate waterfalls, which span two different countries, Niagara Falls is a sight to behold. Right here in New York is the American Falls, so named for being mostly over the border of the U.S., and the Bridal Veil Falls. Over in Canadian territory is the Horseshoe Falls, so named for its shape. While there’s no minyan in Niagara Falls, NY, Buffalo, about 25 minutes away, features three minyanim.

From Brooklyn 6 hours and 30 minutes

From South Fallsburg 4 hours and 40 minutes
