WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!

(Re: Good Morning Issue, Issue 188)

Your issue on all things morning and sunshine was so refreshing! I opened it just for a peek and was soon completely absorbed. (Sorry, kids!)

The difficulties the breakfast challenge posed to its participants were so hilariously relatable. They made me feel better about the cup of coffee that tides me over until, well, too late to admit, while I run on the conviction that today will be different. I keep waiting for those perfect fifteen minutes to sit down and eat like a mentsch, but perhaps now I gained the awareness that in order to find them, I just have to create them. Or start to like peanut butter!

Thanks as well for your Birchas Hashachar contest along with the relevant inspiration. It’s definitely the important and pleasant awakening I need. And even though I’m not nearly as ambitious as those admirable interviewees who wake up before the sun, perhaps I’ll do that one day, because Fire Island looks so enticing.

Thank you for invigorating my mornings!

WHAT A WINNER

(Re: A Wake-Up Call, Issue 188)

R.E.

The Boro Park View is long overdue for a major thank you for the incredible content you produce week after week, but what finally got me to write was your new tefillah contest. As much as I want to take those few minutes to daven, I just can’t commit to it, which is why I’m so grateful for this initiative.

I feel like a little kid being motivated to daven, but I guess that’s what I need. I’d be thrilled to win the prize, of course, but that’s not the

JUNE 21-28 1279 52ND STREET

point; the contest simply provides me with the push necessary to mark the checkbox daily until I hopefully stay with the habit. Tizku l’mitzvos

Next maybe I’ll try the breakfast challenge. I totally recognized myself in those participants!

POWERFUL PEOPLE

(Re: The Breakfast Challenge, Issue 188)

This was, hands down, the best article printed by The Boro Park View to date. It was refreshingly honest and realistic, and best of all, not a single one of these women felt the need to go to a food/nutritional/parenting consultant. They were confident about what did or did not work for them, regardless of what “experts” demand.

This article is what we need more of: Down-to-earth content, with no sales pitch, and the acceptance of true life as a Yiddishe mother.

BREAKING BREAD

(Re: The Breakfast Challenge, Issue 188)

Thank you for your amazing publication, week in and week out. I look forward to it each Wednesday.

I had a great laugh reading about all the women trying to fit breakfast into their day. To the one who decided that rice cakes and peanut butter are the perfect solution, what about a good old-fashioned sandwich? It can also be made in seconds: Just slap on some tuna/egg salad/cream cheese on a slice of bread, and voila! A real healthy breakfast to start your day. As an extra bonus, you can eat it on the way to work, too!

Good luck!

EN ROUTE

(Re: Appreciation Is Invaluable, Your Say, Issue 188)

C.S.N.

I’d like to add my thoughts to the letter written by a rebbi’s wife regarding showing appreciation to our rebbeim and morahs

I am a teacher and also do an afternoon route as a bus monitor. For my work teaching, I get a lot of appreciation throughout the year (writing a small thank you at the end of a mitzvah note also counts), but when it comes to my bus route, I rarely get a thank you, or even a smile.

Some parents thank the bus driver every day. What do they think I do? I spend the ride tying shoelaces, finding briefcases, listening to your child and resolving squabbles, all after a long day at work.

Your child came home safe today? Thank Hashem for that, and maybe thank the bus teacher as well. That’s who, with Hashem’s help, ensured a safe ride for your child.

MAKING IT WORK

(Re: The Workplace 2023, Issue 187)

The article about employers and employees was a nice read.

As much as we all agree that in the current market employees need a lot of perks to entice them to work for you, it’s clear that such employees are not the exemplary workers businesses need. What business owners really need are employees who are dedicated to their job, and not to their lunch break.

A valuable employee seeks a work environment that is professional, focused and skill-building, a job that will allow them to develop expertise. Such an employee should be rewarded for their dedication, commitment and knowledge in the field.

A good workplace is where you can hear the sound of a pin drop during work hours. Maybe one day the tide will turn in that direction, and then more employees will be committed to being better people and better workers. It depends on what we look up to, and that is something that we can all choose together.

WHO’S THE BOSS?

(Re: The Workplace 2023, Issue 187)

I was saddened to read last week’s article about shifting trends in the workforce. Although the tone of the article was positive and informative, I was quite uncomfortable with the subtle tone of entitlement it came along with.

I’ve been working in an office for six years now, and it never dawned on me to come to work for fun. Work is just that: work. Of course, it’s nice to have coworkers whom you can chat with, but how can you assume that your boss is okay with schmoozing? Furthermore, why is the entire focus on what your job can do for you? It’s about what you can do for your job.

I am eternally grateful to my boss who invested in my training and pays me a generous salary. Therefore, I try my absolute best to perform optimally at all times. My hours in the office belong to my boss — and this is the Torah way. Entitlement is not! Where has good old-fashioned work ethic gone?

It’s unfortunate that employees nowadays simply inform their employers that they will be out. Asking a boss prior to taking a vacation is basic decency. (This is especially true if you are getting paid a salary versus being paid by the hour. Being out without asking permission is stealing — as is schmoozing unrestrainedly.)

I’m afraid the article may have only reinforced an already widespread bad attitude and sense of entitlement. I would like to see a follow-up article about how to build a good work ethic.

Thank you,

PARSHAS KORACH

Dousing the Flames

In the course of the machlokes with Korach and his followers, Moshe Rabbeinu sent messengers to call Dasan and Aviram, and their response was, “We will not go up” (Bamidbar 16:12).

Rashi, quoting the Midrash, says that this teaches us that one should not be machzik in machlokes , as Moshe sought out Dasan and Aviram to conciliate them with peaceful words.

Moshe Rabbeinu was doing all he could to settle the dispute against him peacefully. But how do Chazal derive from this that one should not persist in an argument?

AN ASKAN IN THE CITY OF KOVNO, whom we will call Shlomo, felt slighted. He had let his voice be heard at a communal meeting, yet the matter was not concluded according to his opinion. As he went home, a disheartened Shlomo decided not to participate in any further affairs in the city. From that point on, he stopped attending community meetings or doing his part as he had until now. He made it clear that he was upset with the rav of the city, Rav Yitzchok Elchonon Spector, and nothing could shake his conviction.

Time passed, and the man remained hostile toward members of the community. However, Rav Yitzchok Elchonon did not give up on him. He hoped to mediate matters so that Shlomo would come around and destroy the wall he had built up between himself and the Rav as well as the rest of the community.

A perfect opportunity arose when Rav Yitzchok Elchonon took part in a seudas mitzvah where Shlomo was also in attendance. When Rav Yitzchok Elchonon saw Shlomo sitting in the room, he jumped up and ran over to him and extended his hand warmly. To the shock of everyone around, Shlomo returned the handshake.

It was a triumphant moment: a moment of peace and forgiveness.

Rav Yitzchok Elchonon was elated by this development, but

the people of the town were dismayed. They felt that it was not befitting the honor of their leader to have had to make the first move and bend over backward to initiate a reconciliation with someone who had offended him; rather, they thought, Shlomo should have come forth to make peace. Perhaps there even should have been an arbitrator to work things out between them.

But Rav Yitzchok Elchonon was not fazed by their argument. Shalom was more important to him than his own kavod

Several days later, a delegation from a neighboring village came to Rav Yitzchok Elchonon, desperate for some help. Because of a libel in town, they told the Rav, they’d been commanded to leave town for good. Now the expulsion date was nearing, and all of their pleas to overturn the decree were falling on deaf ears.

Using all of the connections he had, Rav Yitzchok Elchonon tried to exert pressure upon the leaders of the neighboring town to rescind the decree, but there was nothing to talk about. Eventually, the Rav learned that Shlomo, the askan, had a good relationship with the government official who had signed the decree, and he immediately called for Shlomo to beg him to intercede on the townspeople’s behalf.

“No need to worry,” Shlomo reassured Rav Yitzchok Elcho-

non. “I will settle the matter right away.”

Indeed, several days later, the villagers were informed that the decree had been rescinded.

Upon this new development, Rav Yitzchok Elchonon capitalized on the opportunity to teach his constituents the value of bending over backward in pursuit of peace, regardless if it seems belittling.

“If I had followed your opinion not to go beyond my call of duty and ask forgiveness when it should have been asked of me, what would have been with that entire community?”

Even when it seems that peace cannot be restored, one should never despair. There’s no way of knowing when the right moment will come, and the door to peace and forgiveness should always remain open. * * * * *

The Chasam Sofer explains that Moshe Rabbeinu had known Dasan and Aviram for years. He knew they

Did You Know?

were ba’alei machlokes. He could easily have decided that it was a lost case, that there was no reason to try again to make peace by calling them over diplomatically. But Moshe did not jump to such conclusions. Despite years of experience dealing with them, he granted Dasan and Aviram another opportunity to make peace.

This is how Chazal learn that one should not be “machzik ” in machlokes In other areas, it is possible to derive a “chazakah,” a definite presumption, and determine that things will not change. But when it comes to matters of dispute, the picture is completely different. Here, even when there doesn’t seem to be much of a chance to attain certain peace, one should not rely on a “chazakah.” Rather, he should do all he can to douse the flames.

How we wait for the day when the fire of machlokes will be permanently extinguished from our midst.

Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.

Chazal say that Dasan and Aviram were the troublemakers behind many of Klal Yisroel’s difficulties, even when their names are not mentioned in the actual pasuk

When Moshe exited the house of Pharaoh to see how the Yidden were faring, he saw two men fighting. They were these two evil brothers. When Hashem told Moshe that he could return to Mitzrayim because the men who sought his life were no longer alive, Hashem was referring to Dasan and Aviram who had lost their wealth, and were thus considered dead. They were also the ones who complained to Moshe and Aharon about the decree to gather straw, and they complained when they saw the Mitzriyim running after Klal Yisroel in the Midbar. Finally, they were also the ones who begged to return to Mitzrayim upon hearing the report of the meraglim

Targum Yonasan says that Dasan and Aviram actually remained in Mitzrayim after Yetzias Mitzrayim, and they convinced Pharaoh that the Yidden had escaped. But when they heard that the Yam Suf had split, they ran after Klal Yisroel. The Beer Mayim Chaim adds that when Dasan and Aviram arrived at the Yam Suf, the sea split separately for them to allow them through.

Rav Yitzchok Elchonon was not fazed by their argument. Shalom was more important to him than his own kavod.

Thruway Mincha Area Relocates for Summer 2023

Catskills-bound travelers who are accustomed to stopping in Sloatsburg to catch a minyan as they head up the New York State Thruway on Thursday nights are being rerouted this summer, with massive renovations taking place at the iconic highway davening spot.

Mincha minyanim are taking place this year at 120 Torne Valley Road in Hillburn, located minutes away from Exit 15 on the Thruway. The facility offers ample parking, and Chaverim of Rockland will be on hand during the nine-week summer season to manage the area and ensure security.

Askanim were notified shortly before Pesach that the Sloatsburg rest area would be closed for renovations this summer. They worked closely with officials for months to find an alternate location.

“We are deeply grateful to the Thruway Authority for allowing us to use the Sloatsburg Rest Area for more than 20 years, and look forward to resuming prayers at the Mincha Area once construction has been completed,” said longtime community leader and law enforcement chaplain Rabbi Abe Friedman.

Rabbi Friedman has been closely involved in the operations of the Mincha area for years, following in the footsteps of his father, Rabbi Morton Friedman. The brainchild of Rabbi Edgar Gluck, who worked closely with state and Thruway officials to create a safe davening place for travelers more than 30 years ago, the Mincha area was renamed Tefilas Mordche after Rabbi Morton Friedman’s passing in 2010.

The New York State Thruway Authority first announced in July 2021 that it would

be modernizing decades-old service areas. The 40-year-old Sloatsburg rest area is one of 27 that are currently being renovated. Its gas pumps will remain open throughout the summer as the work progresses.

Shomrim Recovers Lost $20K Ring

Boro Park Shomrim came to the rescue once again, when a member of the volunteer patrol recovered a valuable ring that had been lost by a Shavuos visitor.

Hamodia reported that a Williamsburg woman dropped a $20,000 ring while walking on a Boro Park street over Yom Tov. She retraced her steps after realizing that the gold and diamond ring was missing. When she didn’t find the ring, she contacted Shomrim.

Shomrim member Shloime Levy spent hours reviewing surveillance footage obtained from cameras located along the woman’s route, ultimately spotting a man picking up the lost ring from the ground. With a person of interest identified, Levy plunged into the time-consuming process of acquiring additional security footage, once again poring through hours of video to determine where he might have gone.

According to BoroPark24, it took two weeks for Levy to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together, ultimately discovering that the person of interest worked as a home attendant in a Boro Park home. Levy received the ring after going to the man’s place of employment and asking for its return, ultimately returning it to its rightful owner.

Longtime Adams Ally Blamed as NYPD Commissioner Resigns

New York City is looking for a new top cop, a position that sources claim actually holds little power.

Quoting an opinion piece in the New York Post, VIN News reported that NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell handed in her resignation on June 12 after becoming increasingly frustrated by her inability to make key decisions within the department. According to the Post, it was common knowledge that it was Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks, a close ally of Mayor Eric Adams, who actually wielded the power within the NYPD. Banks is a former cop who resigned the force in 2014 after becoming entangled in an NYPD corruption investigation.

The Post article also charged the mayor with micromanaging the NYPD, further tying Sewell’s hands. Friends said that Sewell began contemplating her exit from the NYPD in late May, but that Adams and Banks had expected her to stay on the job for at least a few more weeks.

“She was fed up,” said one NYPD source. “She was tired of being their puppet.”

Replacing Sewell will be no small task, said the Post, noting that Banks’ shadow looms large within the NYPD.

“Given Keechant Sewell’s experience, anyone who wants the job probably won’t be fit for it,” opined the Post.

CHAPTER 11

Recap: Riva leaves work when she finds out that Fraidy’s been crying in school. Lani takes her work over to her mother’s kitchen, where Fraidy Stroh sees Chevi and flees.

The Strohs had gotten everything right with Eric Moore’s shalach manos: an expensive wine along with a wine opener set — foil cutter, corkscrew, aerator and vacuum stopper — and a few chocolate truffles. The package was classy, sophisticated, professional, and most importantly, thoughtful.

The only thing they’d overlooked was the delivery. Instead of having the package delivered straight to Yaakov’s architectural mentor’s house, they’d made the mistake of bringing it home, turning Riva into the Eric Moore Shalach Manos Police.

“It’s so important,” Yaakov reminded Riva after she rescued the package from Tzippy’s curious fingers yet again. “I really wouldn’t be able to do this without him.”

“Yes, definitely,” Riva agreed.

Whatever this was, anyway. So far, all she knew about Eric Moore was how many hours he kept Yaakov out of the house and the small fortune he was costing them. But she never said a word. Yaakov knew what he was doing, and she trusted him. He’d done all the necessary research, and like he kept repeating to her, there really was no shortcut to success.

Now guard duty was finally over. Yaakov had taken two of her “horseback riders” — Fraidy and Shaya — over to Eric’s house to deliver the classysophisticated-professional-thoughtful package, and Riva could breathe a sigh of a relief and shift her focus to her own shalach manos deliveries.

The day moved along with typical Purim drama: shalach manos exchanges, costume excitement, a rushed and

repeatedly interrupted seudah, and the trudging through standstill traffic to get to every rebbi, teacher and morah’s house.

By the time the Strohs arrived to Zeidy and Bubby Miller’s noisy house late in the afternoon, Riva went straight to the corner cabinet in her parents’ kitchen and reached for the bottle of Motrin.

The noise was a good thing, as was the crowd. The Lipshutz clan was all over the place, and Riva’s aunts were yakking away as they stood over the neat row of sternos, choosing between brisket rollups, baby chicken, noodles-and-cabbage, Chinese rice, and good old sesame chicken. With so much going on, Riva could melt into a chair and catch her breath for a few minutes.

She put some salad and deli roll into her own plate, and balancing Eli on her lap, squeezed into a seat between her aunt Chanie Katz and her cousin Chayala Lipshutz.

On the other side of the dining room, the men were growing louder by the minute. Riva met Yaakov’s eyes for a moment. She knew he wouldn’t drink, but he always enjoyed the matzav in the Miller house on Purim anyway. Chaim Tzvi was the drinker, though he would only show up much later. Purim kept ambitious fundraisers on their toes.

Lani sat in a seat across from Chanie Katz. “Riva, those horseback rider costumes are insane,” she gushed. “Your kids look plain gorgeous.”

Riva glanced over at Shaya and smiled. The costumes were gorgeous: tan pants or skirts, white shirts, black velvet blazers, and black velvet helmets. She’d even found cheap black leather button-up boots in Target to complete the ensemble.

OZ Eisdorf whizzed by, waving a wad of singles in his hand. He ran over to Riva and Lani’s father and held out his palm.

“Hey, Lani,” Zeidy Miller called out. “I was sure you’d go with some sort of building theme this year. Why didn’t you dress your kids up as construction workers?”

Surely it was Riva’s imagination that made it seem like the room sud-

denly fell silent. It felt like the air had gone still, all conversation and laughter suspended, the music pumping in a disjointed sort of way.

“Construction?” Lani echoed. “We’re not doing any construction these days.”

Her words weren’t in response to Zeidy Miller’s question; they were muttered in an undertone, making it impossible for her father to hear. And it wasn’t like he was waiting for an answer either. It had been a rhetorical question.

Lani’s comment was meant for her, Riva.

Chanie Katz picked up the conversation. “Where are you up to with the renovations, takkeh?”

“Uh, nowhere,” Lani said. “We kind of put construction on hold for now.”

Riva’s fingers curled around Eli’s feet. They put construction… on hold?

Was that true? They’d stopped building?

She hadn’t known that. Lani used to talk about their construction adventures all day, every day; in fact, she used to drive Riva crazy with all her dilemmas. But for the last while, she’d completely stopped sharing. Riva had assumed it was just a little awkward, with the whole loan situation, but she hadn’t dreamed that the Eisdorfs had paused construction.

She ran her fingers under Eli’s mini helmet straps, then pulled his arms away as he lunged for the plate of salad in front of him.

So that explained Lani’s edginess. Riva had sensed something was off. Well, that something turned out to be her. The heartless sister who’d selfishly terminated her loan, depriving them of the funds they needed to get their house renovated.

The smell of salad dressing overwhelmed her senses. Eli was having a party with baby corn and pecans, and she gave up trying to keep him clean. Lani’s bitter expression filled her with a niggling sense of regret.

Maybe it had been a mistake.

Maybe they could’ve extended themselves just a bit more.

Her chair wobbled for a moment, then someone squeezed in next to her.

“Fraidy, what’s up? Did you eat anything?”

Fraidy took off her helmet. “I’m not hungry.”

Not hungry, probably tired.

But Fraidy didn’t look tired. She simply looked sad. The saddest horseback rider Riva had ever met.

Riva wrapped her hand around Fraidy’s shoulder. “Why don’t you go play with the kids?”

A shrug. Shrugging had become Fraidy’s new language.

Riva debated if she should persuade her to go join her cousins. Not only because she didn’t feel like sharing her chair, but also because, Fraidy, could you, like, cheer up already? It was Purim, and this wasn’t school; nobody was bothering her here. What was up with this girl?

Fraidy stayed near Riva for the rest of the day, clinging to her like a shadow. Riva tried shaking her off with innocent excuses — “Could you go get me a diaper? Could you check if there’s more water in the fridge?” — but after every errand, Fraidy returned, face glum.

Much later, when most of the guests had already left, Riva found herself cleaning up the kitchen with Lani. Fraidy had finally gone off somewhere. It was a relief, although Lani’s company just then wasn’t that much more pleasant.

Lani was quiet as she transferred leftover food into containers. It wasn’t a comfortable silence, though, and as Riva stood over the sink washing dishes, she racked her brain to come up with a safe topic to talk about, something other than loans and construction.

She knew what they could talk about. The anniversary. She gave a quick look around to make sure her parents weren’t within earshot and peeled the wet gloves off her hands.

“Hey, Lani,” she said. “For the anniversary, I was thinking that maybe we should con-

sider booking SpecTac. They have a party room and a room of arcades. If we do that, we could keep it a surprise from Tatty and Mommy, and the kids will have a blast. I think we should also order the food to make our lives easier. Should I find out what they charge to rent out the place?”

Lani barely looked up at her. “Yeah, maybe. I guess find out and let me know.”

Now what? Yes, Riva had wanted to share this idea with Lani, but the point was to start a neutral conversation — and keep it going.

Ugh, this was all so ugh. And really, what had she done wrong? The original agreement had been to lend the money for six months, and they’d stuck to that arrangement. Were she and Yaakov meant to extend the loan indefinitely? This money was their hard-earned savings. They wanted to buy a house one day, she wanted to leave her job. Yaakov’s schooling wasn’t free, and life was expensive. Lani really couldn’t hold it against them, right?

Riva turned her attention back to the dishes. They’d used disposables for the most part, but there were a bunch of bowls and trays to wash, and she didn’t want to leave the work to her mother.

She was spreading trays over dishtowels on the counter when Shaya stormed into the kitchen.

“Ma!” he shouted. “Fraidy locked herself into the pink room, and I have all my shalach manos in there, but she doesn’t want to open the door. I think she’s crying. Could you tell her to go cry somewhere else?”

* * * * *

Second term PTA came out very late that year. The school never scheduled PTA for after Purim, but the principal had been out on maternity leave from mid-February, so it got delayed.

Riva jotted her name on the sign-in sheet on the classroom door. She saw Lani’s name on the second line of the list, which meant her sister had been there earlier. Well, good. She wasn’t in the mood for more awkwardness just then.

She leaned against the hallway wall, settling in for the wait. Eight o’clock was usually the hour she turned into a pumpkin, round one, in Tzippy’s bed. That day, after an intense few hours at work and a million errands on her way home, she’d arrived home together with the kids’ busses and hadn’t had a moment to breathe since.

And yet, a knot of tension in her stomach overrode her fatigue. She didn’t know what to expect from this meeting with Fraidy’s teacher, but whatever it was, she hoped it

would shed light on what was going on and give her insight on how to handle it. Because really, it was getting out of hand. Fraidy was in a perpetually sullen mood, and no matter how much Riva cajoled her for answers, Fraidy denied that anything was bothering her.

The classroom door opened. One mother left, another entered. There were two more mothers ahead of Riva now.

It took another fifteen minutes before Riva’s turn came. In the classroom, she put a bag with a muffin and a card down on the table for Mrs. Shiffer. The teacher seemed genuinely touched.

“Well! Fraidy Stroh,” Mrs. Shiffer began. “Where do I start ?”

She started where all of Fraidy’s teachers always started: With her maturity, her middos tovos, her intelligence, her ehrlichkeit. And it was all true, Riva knew; she’d been blessed with a special daughter and was incredibly grateful for this gift.

She waited for an opening to voice her concerns, but in the end it was Mrs. Shiffer who initiated it. “I wanted to ask you, is there maybe something going on in her life now that’s making her act a little… subdued?”

Riva twisted the clasp on her bag. “I was actually going

to ask you about this. Fraidy is acting strange lately, so not herself. I have no idea what it’s all about. Could you tell me what you’re seeing in school?”

What Mrs. Shiffer saw in school was even worse than what Riva was seeing at home. The sparkle in Fraidy’s eyes was gone, she sat in her seat listlessly all day. In total, she was the picture of misery.

“I tried talking to her a few times,” Mrs. Shiffer said. “She wouldn’t tell me anything.”

If Riva thought she would gain insight, she left the classroom with her worries intensified. The English teacher’s report was similar to Mrs. Shiffer’s, and they all agreed to keep a close eye on Fraidy and update each other if they learned anything.

On the way down the stairs, Riva met Lani, going up.

“Hi,” Riva said. “I thought you were here earlier.”

“I was. I did Chevi first, then Malky, and I’m heading to Shana’s teachers now.”

“Oh, wow, busy night for you.”

“You got it.” Lani adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder. “Nu, so let’s hear? You schepped your nachas?”

IS NOW YOUR TIME TO BUY?

ARK MORTGAGES 2

SHLOIMY TAUBER AND LIPA KISH

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is, “Is now a good time to buy?” The reality is that this answer is different for each family, but in general, it is always the best time to buy if the time is right for you

The Markowitzes* had outgrown their rental and were looking for a new home for many months, with no success. We had worked with them to get them a certified pre-approval — a document that proves to the sellers and your real estate agent that you will likely be able to get the loan you’ll need. As mortgage lenders, we’ll look at your income and debt and determine what loan amount you will likely be approved for.

Their real estate agent suggested they look at a listing for a beautiful 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house that was listed at $575,000*, the upper limit of their budget. They were excited by the hardwood floors and kosher kitchen, but apprehensive to look at a house after so many rejected bids. After all, who wants to subject themselves to unnecessary heartbreak?

The house also had a history of flooding in the basement. Even though the sellers had installed proper drainage and fixed the water damage a few years earlier, a previous buyer had backed out. The sellers were distraught at this news, as they were depending on the sale of their home to retire. The seller’s real estate agent wisely suggested they regroup and relist. They listed the property for $50,000 less than before.

That’s when the Markowitzes went to view the home. It looked even better in real life than in the pictures they had seen. As they looked through each room, the Markowitzes knew that this was the home for them.

They placed a bid (along with their pre-approval) at list price, and the sellers happily accepted. Both parties were highly motivated to get the purchase done — often the key to a smooth home purchase. Terms were negotiated, attorneys hired, and the homebuying process was well on its way.

But when the home appraisal came back at $30,000 less than the list price, things came to a halt. The buyers were scared the Markowitzes would back out. The Markowitzes called us, asking, “What should we do?” They wanted the house, but they were already at the upper end of their budget, and they did not want to overpay.

We suggested they ask for seller credit for the $30,000. In a mortgage exchange, it is not uncommon for a seller to offer closing cost credits, where sellers of a property agree to credit a sum of money to the buyer at closing time. This protects the buyer from unexpected bumps in the road that can come up during the loan process. The sellers agreed to the credit. Less than a month later, the Markowitzes closed and moved into their new home.

So, is now a good time to buy a home? Yes, if it’s a home you love and the right time for you.

“Visiting the country as a kid,” Chava reminisces, “was like stepping back in time. Our makeshift bungalow with just two rooms and no air conditioning was good enough for the summer, and created memories that will never fade.”

As soon as their family station wagon, loaded to the brim with boxes, pulled up to their bungalow colony, Chava could smell the peeling paint and wet grass. She’d run off to check if everything had remained the way they’d left it when the summer had wound to a close the year before.

“I remember thinking that things looked not only the way they had last year, but the way they’d probably looked for decades. And I wondered who had built this charming, old-fashioned place. In my childish mind, I estimated it must have been standing for hundreds of years…”

While it hasn’t yet quite been hundreds of years, when did the Catskills become a vacation destination? Who were the first guests, and what brought them out to the enchanting countryside?

From Farmland to Fantasy Land

It all began with a little farm.

When Yana “John” Gerson made the move from Lower Manhattan to Sullivan County, little did he know that he was charting a path that myriads of Yidden would tread for decades to follow.

The year was 1892, and Gerson was the first Jewish farmer to purchase farmland in the upstate region of New York. Settling down on a farm in the countryside seemed like a viable alternative to the suffocating city. He hoped life would be both more fi-

nancially feasible and more relaxing. It didn’t take long for Gerson to realize, however, that the soil was too rocky for raising crops and the land uncultivable.

But there was a different way he could earn a living out in the mountains, Gerson discovered. He could offer a vacation to others still living in the confines of the sweltering city! By 1899, Gerson was advertising his boarding house, which he claimed followed all customs of the Jewish faith.

Gerson was not alone. At the turn of the century, countless other Yidden began to purchase farmland in the Catskills. By 1912, there were more than one thou-

sand Jewish-owned farms.

Life wasn’t easy on the farms; rural life required lots of determination and endurance, particularly on the part of the housewives. Electricity and plumbing were scarce, and many made do with outhouses. The roads were often not up to par and would become impassable in the wintertime. Many families had to send their children away to board if they wanted them to make it to school.

Many of the farmers focused on chicken or dairy farming, raising chickens and eggs, cows and milk. And while this industry yielded a profit, like Gerson, the

Ads for kosher lodgings in the Catskills in a 1917 guide for Jewish travelers

farmers soon realized that there was a far more profitable business they could make on their plots of land in the countryside.

They began to build cottages and bungalows or larger hotel-style buildings, and opened their doors to vacationers. Transforming their properties into resort sites filled a need and provided a plump income.

Soon clusters of Jewish-owned farms-turnedresorts dotted Ulster and Sullivan counties. Several shuls opened, and Yiddish was the prevalent language spoken among the landsleit The region, pulsating with Jewish culture, was dubbed “the Borscht Belt.”

Who Were Their Guests?

New York City of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was hot and full of disease. The tenement houses were crammed to capacity, leaving little breathing space for the nearly one million immigrant Jews from Czarist Russia and Eastern Europe. As the summer temperatures climbed, the daily slog and burden of eking out a living weighed even more heavily on breadwinners’ shoulders, and the gilded streets of the goldene medinah seemed hopelessly out of reach.

Yet slowly, vestiges of the American Dream filtered into the Yiddish-speaking society. The idea of taking a vacation — a break from the stress and grind of the city — was a welcome contrast to the hardworking culture the immigrants brought with them from Europe. Throwing off the pressure and making space for leisure was a new concept, but it was enthusiastically embraced.

As the summer months rolled around, these immigrants left the stifling city in droves, relishing a couple of weeks of country life. Space, grass, air — commodities that were markedly absent in New York City of the late nineteenth century — were available in abundance on the little farms and resorts.

In 1905, when this photo was taken, trains were the primary way for city dwellers to access the countryside and Borscht Belt resorts.

Getting to the Catskills was made simple with bargain ticket rates offered for the newly built railroad line. There were also plenty of steamships chugging along the Hudson River. In just two to three hours, the humid streets of New York City could be but a memory.

Thus began the beloved trend of heading to the “country,” the annual migration of New Yorkers to the cooler expanses of the Catskills.

By the 1940s, more than two million Jewish visitors came out to the Catskills annually. There were hundreds of hotels, more than 1,000 boarding rooms and nearly 60,000 bungalows. Many were owned by Jews who served kosher food and kept Shabbos.

Those who could afford more would stay at upscale resorts

Did You Know?

The Viznitz community in Kiamesha Lake is often referred to as “Gibber’s,” a reference to the former Gibber’s Hotel on site. Incidentally, unlike many descendants of other original hoteliers, some of the Gibber family children are great marbitzei Torah today.

The Second Generation

Grossinger’s Resort Hotel during its glory days

such as the Concord Resort Hotel in Kiamesha Lake, Kutscher’s near Monticello, or Grossinger’s in Ferndale. The Concord dining room seated 3,000 and boasted 1,500 guest rooms. Kutscher’s had two bungalow colonies besides its 400-room resort, as well as a golf course. Grossinger’s was a 1,200acre, 35-building resort. Among other amenities, it boasted its own airstrip and post office.

Others would stay in less-expensive koch-aleins — bungalows where no food or game rooms were provided. Women enjoyed lots of leisure time and more relaxed housekeeping duties. Even back then, many of the women were on their own with their families during the week, while their husbands worked in the city and joined them only only for Shabbos.

Since country life was slower paced than city life, vacationers had lots of free time, and comedians and performers stepped in to fill the void. Soon a new concept of entertainment evolved, which boasted the Yiddish language yet with a more progressive twist.

Likewise, while many of the hotelier pioneers had started out as frum immigrants, the next genera-

tion was sadly drifting away from Yiddishkeit. As they began looking for more exotic places to vacation, the landscape changed.

The area began to fill up with heimish post-Holocaust Yidden. Suddenly, new life was breathed into the bungalows and grassy expanses. Frum camps and bungalow colonies offered a most wonderful place for Torah-true children and families to relax and recharge. Instead of comedy and casinos came Torah and shiurim, entertainment and recreation, all delivered with the right hashkafos

And that’s the way it’s been for decades. As summer nears, Route 17 sees its familiar influx of Toyota Siennas and coach buses, delighted families and excited campers, along with carefully labeled boxes stuffed to the brim with swim gear and bikes, linens and fans.

And even as winterized summer homes and up-to-date shopping strips join the scene, the fragrant memories of temporary, old-time “country” built on sentimental charm keep the quaint Catskills very much alive.

This is Osher Eisemann, I need your help.

The daily routine of a special needs family revolves around the unending, day-after-day care for their family member. Camp SCHI was created to provide a once-a-year relief, allowing these families to briefly enjoy what most families take for granted, and rejuvenate for the coming year. This is a vital lifeline that is crucial for special needs children, their parents, and their siblings.

I continuously observe how these few weeks literally save families.

Camp SCHI has separate camps for boys and girls, with a complete staff of special ed teachers, therapists, and medical personnel. Both camps are led by the most amazing counselors: Bochurim who spend the entire year in Yeshiva, and Bais Yaakov girls of the highest caliber, who choose to spend their summer perfecting the art of giving while learning life’s most difficult challenges. The combination of the unyielding love and the specially designed programs give the children an opportunity to flourish in ways that are impossible during the school year.

The past few summers, Camp SCHI had only one campus in the Pocono Mountains, requiring us to rent various campgrounds, that were not always well equipped for our needs. ידסחב םשה, we now have been able to obtain an additional campus. However, a tremendous amount of money is urgently needed to reconstruct the campground to accommodate special needs. With just weeks away from camp, I need your help!

I am beseeching you to realize the importance of this undertaking and partner with me to be לועב אשונ with these special children and their families.

Throughout my yearslong ordeal, I felt there was a הנוילע הרימש protecting me in the תוכז of these special תומשנ. Your תופתתשה is a tremendous קוזיח for me and will surely stand by us to be לכמ לצינ הרצ and be הכוז to יד ילב דע הכרב

With much appreciation,

CAMPERS IN 1956, THE YEAR OF THE CAMP’S DEBUT

CHANIE SPIRA

The interview for this article took place the same day I was shopping locally. All day, I watched hundreds of mothers and daughters piling items upon items into carts, baskets and bags. Because, camp! Sweatshirts and T-shirts and skirts and matching towel sets and linen and fans and fanny packs… and, and, and.

But Reb Yitzchok Jacobowitz speaks of a different era. Along with his father Reb Mordechai, an elderly Holocaust survivor, they share two generations of camp memories. So take a break between labeling clothes and paying the credit card bill, and travel back in time.

In the 1950s, Williamsburg was home to scores of Holocaust survivors raising the first generation of children post-war.

Every day took courage.

They gave birth to children without parents supporting them. They raised families without the familiarity of der heim. They learned to navigate new territory without extended family holding their hands. And of course, parnassah in this unknown land was an uphill climb.

The Satmar Yidden always had the Rebbe, zt”l, to support, encourage and build them. To look toward the future and see the broader picture. To see past the here and the

now and the daily struggles.

Under the Rebbe’s direction, the first Satmar boys camp was established to address the issue of boys spending their summer vacation in the immodest city streets. With the indefatigable Reb Yidel Rosenberg at the helm, the camp opened its doors in the mid 1950s.

At approximately fifteen dollars a week, camp was available to every child. Of course, if one couldn’t afford even that, their children were still welcome. Camp was a blessing. Children were assured a safe place with plentiful food and healthy mountain air to spend the summer.

For the first couple of years, leaving for camp was a day like any other. Each boy got dressed in the morning, boarded a school bus with maybe a bag of rugelech, and left.

No linen, no socks, no shoes, no clothes and no labeling.

Nada! Or as they would say in Hungarian, “Semmi

Upon arrival at camp, each boy received navy short overalls to wear, shoes and some shirts. To complete the ensemble, they each got socks in colors ranging from light blue to red. They also received linen, towels and toiletries.

Camp organizers purchased these items second-hand from the army. Another way the camp had enough funds was through the anti-poverty government grant that the askanim utilized for camp expenses to keep the cost to the parents to a minimum. Only in the ‘60s, with families more settled, did the children bring their own clothing.

REB YITZCHOK RECOUNTS:

The year was 1965, and I was no more than five years old when I went to visit my older brother in camp. The place looked nice. The boys looked happy. So I claimed a bed and stayed!

I was miserable and homesick enough not to return until I was ten, but most of my friends attended camp from the age of six or seven.

For those three years, we had summer cheder in the city where Reb Akiva Weinstock served as head counselor. The only organized activity was swimming in a makeshift pool. Reb Akiva was a true chassidishe Yid, and I remember him jumping into the swimming pool wearing his woolen tallis katan and swimming in it.

WHAT WERE YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES?

“Vus activities? Ven activities?”

Each class had a different tree that served as their classroom. In the mornings, we learned under Hashem’s natural shade. No one complained of heat or bugs. We didn’t have classrooms or air-conditioned learning bunks.

When it rained, we all learned in the beis midrash. Rain also meant puddles and mud. To avoid the danger of wet floors, the rebbeim spilled wood shavings onto the floors to absorb the moisture.

After learning, we were free to do as we pleased.

In Satmar, ball is considered a secular sport and was never part of camp activities.

The camp pool was nothing grand, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. We swam every day for about a half hour. Besides for serving as a recreational activity, it was a teaching tool in yiras Shamayim and chassidus. Reb Yidel Rosenberg refrained from using a whistle as per the Baal Shem Tov’s teaching that a chassid doesn’t whistle, so Reb Chaim Berkovitz, who was more of a head counselor and the chiyus of the camp, would use his whistle at the pool to control the activity.

To ensure that the boys were out on time and wouldn’t catch a cold, Reb Chaim would announce, “Der letzter chapt ah shmitz.” That usually did the job as the boys scrambled to reach the steps before he blew the whistle the third time. Of course, there were some smart alecks who purposely exited last

TIMELINE

Post-war, summer camp was a novel idea. Until Satmar opened its doors, most chadarim were closed in the summer, with only private camps operating and offering entertainment. There was hardly any organized learning in the summer months.

Satmar camp sought to change all that. By bringing the boys to the Catskills, the kol Torah could continue undisturbed in idyllic surroundings.

and engaged in a game of tag around the pool with Reb Chaim hot on their heels.

As for other organized activities?

Leave it up to us boys. We spent half a summer building Tisha B’Av chairs with a motley assortment of scrap wood and nails. It was a pity that each boy only needed one chair…

We also dug endless holes. The running joke was that we’d dig until we reached Korach’s bones.

Most days, we climbed the beautiful mountain next to the camp. We would leave rotten watermelons at the peak, and the next morning, we’d check if bears had bitten into them. They always did. In the morning we’d find obvious tracks of bears and the huge bite marks left by our nighttime friends. As long as the bears stayed out of sight, we delighted in feeding them.

We would also “pave” paths in the tall grass surrounding the camp by flattening the grass and creating mazes out of these paths.

These activities were sacred. Each boy got the mesorah from his older brothers and followed through with it for years and years.

Talk about wholesome fun with hands-on experimenting. We got beans from the kitchen, and we would plant them with a bit of soil. We had entire botanical gardens growing from these beans!

1952–1954 The boys learned in… Prospect Park! The rebbeim would teach the children under the trees.

1955 The first campus was bought in Woodridge for $19,000. The camp was small and only used for the younger division. The older boys remained in the city.

1956 The first camp was sold due to its small size. The camp made $1,000 profit, selling it for $20,000. After scouting the Catskills, they hit upon the perfect place in Napanoch. However, at $100,000, the asking price was too high, and so Reb Yidel Rosenberg offered $35,000. It took time, but finally the seller agreed to Reb Yidel’s price. Unbelievably, this is the camp still in use today!

SHAMSHAN GOLDSTEIN WISHING THE CAMPERS WELL ON THE VERY LAST DAY OF CAMP

Of course, we were also kept busy with the full-time activity of sneaking kokosh cake from the kitchen. Which was silly, of course, because we could have as much as we wanted. But nothing, nothing could compare to the taste of stolen kokosh cake.

WHICH BRINGS US TO FOOD.

WHAT DID THEY SERVE?

Satmar is legendary for their largesse in anything food-related, and camp was no exception. I still remember watching some of the older boys eat eight or nine slices of bread each morning. Oh, and the bread! It was divine. They used real wheat, not rye. It was light and airy and warm and, of course, plentiful. After meals, Harav Berish Eichenstein would sing with us and get us into the camp spirit. Rabbi Eichenstein had a voice like a violin, and he sang with his whole heart and soul. Ivdi, ivdi, ivdi es

Every afternoon, right after Mincha, we had refreshments. Warm kokosh cake, straight out of the oven, and delicious sliced watermelon. Reb Elya Duvid Turnauer, another camp figure, would slice the watermelon for us. He liked using code language and hand motions to negotiate the size of

To this day I wonder: How can it be that Satmar camp doesn’t have orchards of watermelons growing? The amount of seeds we threw down each afternoon... (Ed. note: Yes! Watermelons used to have black seeds that you had to spit out. Ask your parents.) When it came to dinnerware, the directors calculated that it was cheaper to use hard plastic dishes than disposables. And it was also cheaper to hand wash the dishes than

Reb Shamshan Goldstein, the most famous character of all, was a man with a fiery spirit and a big heart. He knew where to find unemployed cleaners willing to wash the endless piles of plates, and he would offer free meals as a form of payment. Seems they also heard about the kokosh cake. So he would get washers to do the

Attention Head Counselors and Camp Directors:

dishes for free, and feed them. A total win-win. The only losers were the boys who were stuck all summer long eating food with an awful aftertaste of dishwashing soap.

Another one of Reb Shamshan’s ideas was to save money on pots. Commercial pots were very expensive, and who needed pots anyway? Garbage cans also worked! Reb Mordechai Weiss, who had a housewares store, donated tin garbage cans for cooking. (Don’t worry, they were brand-new.) So what if the garbage cans weren’t really pot material and the soup often burned? Everyone ate the burnt, soapflavored broth with gusto. We were lucky Reb Shamshan didn’t buy broomsticks to mix the soup! On Shabbos, and sometimes for supper too, the soup bowls used served as an all-in-one. At first, the soup bowls were used upside down as a mini mountaintop. It was the perfect size for the rubbery slice of gefilte fish. Then you turned the bowl right-side up, and bingo: You now had a bowl for the chicken soup.

Food might have been enough to keep the boys full, but what’s camp without a canteen? The boys usually brought $2 to $3 as spending money, and the canteen prices reflected that. Two cookies for a penny. Potato chips for a nickel. And there were even frozen treats for sale.

The window to the canteen was often unlocked, and boys tried sneaking in after hours. Dangling from the window was the perfect way to receive punishment from the head staff. A shmitz often did the job.

One summer, Reb Yidel walked into the camp dining room quite distraught. He sadly announced that the canteen had made too much money first half. He was worried that meant there wasn’t

VISITING DAY AND CAMP PACKAGES

There was no official visiting day. Every Sunday, the same green bus that brought us to camp traveled from the city to the mountains so parents had the opportunity to visit. There were no daily phone calls to parents, and children hardly spoke to them while they were away.

I remember looking at that bus and knowing it had nothing to do with me. My parents could not make such a far trip on a random Sunday. But then, before my eyes, I saw my dear father make his way down the steps! It was such an excitement!

Camp love packages are not a new meshugas Maybe the standards are new and the competition is new. Way back when, mothers also worried that their children were starving without them, and for a few coins, the bus took packages, too. In the heat of the city, without cell phones to track the bus, mothers waited with wrapped, brown bags to send their kids a taste of home.

THE REBBE’S VISIT

Ahh! The Rebbe’s visit was the highlight of the summer. We dressed up and decorated the entire camp with banners and art in honor of the big day. The Rebbe would sit with Reb Yisroel Zupnik and drink in the camp atmosphere. Reb Zupnik was a key supporter of the Rebbe’s initiatives, and the camp is named after him.

When the Rebbe was ill and weakened, the event was a bit different. We ate our meal, and the Rebbe came in to hear us bentching. It gave him tremendous nachas. His vision, bearing fruit! An entire generation built from the ashes.

It makes me think that while the watermelon seeds didn’t sprout, other seeds were sown and grew to tremendous proportions: seeds of Torah and chassidus that bore fruits far better than one could have imagined in the post-war generation.

The camp experience has changed and evolved over the years, but its essence, the cultivation of yiddishkeit, is still going strong.

Itwas a late summer evening at the office.

My family was upstate in our bungalow, so I was in no rush to get home. When I finally left my Boro Park office to head back to my home in Williamsburg, it was still very hot. I put the AC on full blast in my car and started the drive.

On the way, I passed 14th Avenue and looked out for anyone needing a ride to Williamsburg. Sure enough, a heimish bachur was waiting. At a glance, it was immediately obvious that he was from Eretz Yisroel.

“Going in my direction?” I said. “Come on in.” As he settled in beside me, I tried to put him at ease. “Shalom aleichem. Where are you from?”

The bachur sighed as he told me that he had come from Eretz Yisroel to collect money for his upcoming chasunah.

JAKUBOWICZ BY MENACHEM HOFFMAN

“How’s it going?” I asked.

“Ah bissel shver. Not so great.”

He recounted how he had walked around Boro Park in the heat, going from shul to shul, only to find them mostly empty. The regular mispallelim were in the mountains, and he hadn’t seen much hatzlacha.

“Nu, why not go up to the country, then?” I asked.

With trademark Israeli directness he said, “Getting up there isn’t a problem, but finding someone with extra room in their bungalow to host me is something else.”

“I don’t think that should be a problem,” I told him. “I have room. Come to me for Shabbos.”

The bachur’s face lit up, and I was happy that I was able to help him.

“Are you sure it won’t be a problem?” he asked, as if he couldn’t believe his good fortune.

“I’m sure. But I’m not sure what time I’ll be leaving on Thursday. Get another ride up to the country — it should be easy to find one — and call me when you get there. I’ll pick you up and take you to my bungalow in Swan Lake. By the way, what’s your name?”

“Chaim. Chaim Teitelbaum*.”

“Okay, Chaim. Let’s be in touch.”

I dropped Chaim off at his destination, brushed off his thanks, and drove away.

Then I promptly forgot all about the encounter.

The rest of the week continued pretty much the same way — until the phone call came on Wednesday, when I was sitting in my office.

It was my wife, and she sounded worried. “Bubby is in the hospital,” she

I MET HIM ON A HOT SUMMER EVENING — AND NEVER DREAMED THAT THE BRIEF ENCOUNTER WOULD STAY WITH ME FOREVER

said.

The next day, my grandmother’s condition worsened, and she was transferred to the ICU. Unfortunately, her condition continued to deteriorate, and later that day, she was nifteres. Her levayah was scheduled for the following day — Erev Shabbos — and my wife and children traveled in from the country to be there.

I was standing among my family, mourning the passing of our family matriarch, when my cell phone buzzed. Whoever it was, it couldn’t be too important. I ignored it.

A short while later, in the middle of my uncle’s hesped, my phone buzzed again. I paid no attention to it.

The third time it buzzed, I glanced at the screen. A number I’d never seen before was flashing. I didn’t recognize the number, so I put the phone back into my pocket and focused on what my uncle was saying. Soon after that, we all went out to the kevurah.

At the beis hachaim, my phone buzzed again. The same unfamiliar number flashed across the screen.

Curious, I took the call. “Who is this?”

“Teitelbaum.”

“Teitelbaum? Which Teitelbaum?”

The voice on the other end sounded hesitant and very confused. “Er… it’s me… Chaim Teitelbaum. You told me I could stay at your bungalow this Shabbos. Is that still okay? Can you pick me up now?”

Suddenly, I remembered who he was. I had given him a ride a few days earlier. So much had happened since, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

I pulled myself back to the present and to the bachur at the other end of the line. He was depending on me… but I was in the city, at my grandmother’s levayah, and I was staying in the city for Shabbos. I wasn’t going to be in my bungalow after all. With halting words and effusive apologies, I

told him that.

“Don’t worry,” Chaim said. “I’ll work something out.”

I felt terrible for this young bachur, all alone in a strange country, and now abandoned by the one acquaintance he’d made.

“I’ll tell you what,” I said. “Speak to the next person you find, and tell him what happened. I’m sure he’ll be able to find you a place to stay for Shabbos. If not, please call me back, and I’ll make sure you have a place to stay. But either way, call me back to let me know what’s doing.”

“Okay,” Chaim said.

He sounded grateful that I had the presence of mind to help him, but I felt bad that I couldn’t do more.

* * * * *

By the time Sunday rolled around, I had pretty much pushed all thoughts of Chaim Teitelbaum out of my mind. My mother-in-law was sitting shivah, and that was keeping me busy enough.

And then, sometime in the afternoon, my cell phone rang.

It was Chaim Teitelbaum.

“Chaim! How did everything work out?”

That’s when he told me his story.

“After I hung up the phone with you,” Chaim said, “I didn’t know what to do. So I asked the first person I met to find me a place to stay in Swan Lake. Instead, he invited me to spend Shabbos with him in his bungalow colony in South Fallsburg. The only snag was that his family eats all the seudos at his father’s place in the summer, but I was welcome to go along with them. I didn’t exactly have many options, so I went.

“That Friday night, this man’s father went around the room, asking all the guests their names. When it was my turn, I said, ‘Teitelbaum.’

“‘Teitelbaum?’ he repeated. ‘What’s your father’s name?’

“‘Yankel.’

“‘Yankel Teitelbaum from Eretz

Yisroel?’

“At this point, I started to realize that something was going on. How did he know my father? And why was he so excited to hear my father’s name?

“‘Why are you here?’ he asked.

“I told him I’m a chasan, and that I came to collect money for my chasunah. And that’s when he told me a story.

“‘I travel often to Eretz Yisroel,’ he said, ‘and I was once at the Kosel late at night. I was looking around, and I noticed a yungerman crying, asking the Eibershter to help him with his tza’ar. It was hard to watch a person in so much pain, so I went over to try to help him.

“‘Is everything all right?’ I asked.

“‘Baruch Hashem.’

“‘How is your family?’

“‘Baruch Hashem.’

“‘Parnassah?’

“‘Baruch Hashem.’

“‘If everything is fine, then why are you crying?’

ןכערפשפא

“The yungerman looked at me. ‘It’s the Three Weeks,’ he said. ‘I’m crying over the Churban.’

“‘I was very impressed by his answer. He was clearly an ehrliche yungerman. I wanted to help him in some way and said, ‘Do you have any children to marry off?’

“‘No,’ he said, ‘my family is still young.’

“‘I told him to come back to me in a few years, because when he would have children of marriageable age, I would be glad to take care of him then.”

Now I held my breath as Chaim said, “He was talking about my father!”

Chaim went on to tell me that the night before, on Motzei Shabbos, his host made a melaveh malkah and raised a sizable amount of money for the young chasan.

I shook my head, overcome by his story. “Maybe you want to be my guest next Shabbos? This way you can fundraise a bit more.”

“I’m flying back to Eretz Yisroel this week,” Chaim said. “I have enough money now, and I want to go home.”

It’s been a few years since I gave Chaim that ride, but I’ll never forget our short encounter. Sometimes we have to look hard to see the yad Hashem in our lives, and other times it stares us right in the face.

PENCIL DRAWER

SPRAYS AND STRIPES

You might meet deer or bears in the mountains, but by far the most feared animal is the infamous skunk. These stealthy little animals wandering around at night cause instant fear in the hearts of those who spot them creeping around… and for good reason!

SNIFF, SNIFF

Summertime is marked by beautiful sunsets, lazy days, frozen treats — and very often, the unmistakable smell of a skunk. The skunk’s spray, also called musk, has an oily texture and comes out of two glands near the animal’s tail. Although we humans turn up our noses and complain about the smell, for the skunk it’s what ensures their survival, since this spray is their main method of defense against predators. When spraying, skunks try to aim at the eyes (and they can do it pretty accurately from up to ten feet away) since their musk can cause eye irritation and temporary blindness, buying them time to run away. The bad smell also tricks other animals into thinking that the skunk tastes bad, so they leave the little critter alone. (The skunk’s main predators are owls, hawks and other birds of prey that have a very weak sense of smell and don’t get scared off by the skunk’s awful scent.)

Spraying is a last resort for a skunk, and they usually try to avoid it. They first hiss, stamp their feet, raise their tails, and some even go into an awkward handstand dance to warn the person or animal to back off. They try to avoid using their spray because once they use it a few times, it takes ten to twelve days for them to replenish their supply!

DON’T GET THE TOMATO JUICE JUST YET…

The most common antidote for skunk smell is to bathe in tomato juice, but that is based on practicality, not science! The tomato juice cure is well known simply because it’s usually the most aromatic liquid people have on hand at home. This means that bathing in it will mask the skunk smell, but won’t get rid of it. Don’t despair, though! If you ever suffer the unfortunate experience of getting sprayed by a skunk, there are ways to get rid of the smell. Put the tomato juice back into the pantry, and get into a bath with two to four cups of baking soda. Wash your clothes in a regular cycle, and throw some baking soda in there as well. Another suggestion is to mix a quart of hydrogen peroxide with a quarter cup of baking soda and one or two teaspoons of liquid dish soap. You can soak clothing in this mixture, and it can also be used on hair.

Why does this work? A skunk’s spray is a thiol — an organic compound that has sulfur as its main ingredient. The chemicals in baking soda are able to break down the thiol and take away the scent.

SKUNK SPECIES

Though we’re used to seeing black and white skunks around New York, there are many species of skunks out there (not too far out there, though; skunks are found only in North America. Lucky us!). There are species that are brown, gray and even cream-colored. The one feature most of them share is that they’re striped. Some have a single, thick stripe going down their back and tail while others have two narrower stripes. Interestingly, there is one species of skunk, the spotted skunk, whose stripes are broken up and resemble large spots rather than stripes.

AT YOUR OWN RISK

Some brave people claim that skunks make great pets since they’re smart and curious and have great personalities. Most people who own a skunk have the animal’s scent glands removed to avoid any unpleasant incidents, but I’m still not sure how I feel about this…

In more than 33 states, it’s actually illegal to own skunks, with different jurisdictions having their own rules and regulations regarding skunk ownership. So before you consider adopting one, check your local laws… or maybe ask your family for their opinion first.

SKUNK PERFUME

You may hate its smell, but some perfume manufacturers have been known to use skunk oil, an oil distilled from the thiols in a skunk’s musk, in perfumes! Just as it helps a skunk’s smell last for a very long time, when put into perfume, this oil helps the perfume’s scent last longer as well.

IMAGINE STARTING AN ENTRY-LEVEL JOB THAT COULD POSITION YOU TO SUPPORT A GROWING FAMILY IN

JUST 5 YEARS

.

Without going back to school.

Without working 45+ hour workweeks. Without leaving everything frum and familiar behind.

FutureCare gives you company shares, not just a salary.

Future Care and its subsidiaries are poised for substantial growth in the near future. The company's recent and forthcoming acquisitions, backed by our private equity firm, are expected to drive a significant increase in its stock value.

Since its inception in 1997, FutureCare has grown to a team of 500+ employees managing billing & finances for 200+ nursing homes. And right now, thanks to an investment by a private equity firm, company share value is about to rise significantly. This means you can join our team now, stay in a job you love, and accrue company stock as it rises in value.

Opportunities like this don’t come up every day. So while it’s always a good time to join FutureCare, now is a highly opportune time to do so.

Maxi Red Yeast Rice™ is a natural supplement that combines the cholesterol-lowering benefits of red yeast rice and policosanol. Red yeast rice has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels, while policosanol, derived from sugar cane, has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol levels. Unlike statins, policosanol does not inhibit the HMG-CoA enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, making it a safe and natural alternative.

CH Control™ is a specially formulated product that combines the cholesterol-lowering benefits of vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, and chromium with the anti-inflammatory properties of alpha lipoic acid and bromelain. Phytosterols, a natural product derived from plants, and lecithin, policosanol, and taurine, further support lower cholesterol levels and help to improve cardiovascular health.
