My 9 yr old son did the LNDA program...he is now much more flexible and easygoing. The best part? He comes home from school with a huge smile. C.K., Brooklyn
I’ve tried other therapy/counselors/tutors. How is LNDA different?
LNDA is a neurodynamic approach evolved from OT techniques, with a 35-year proven track record of success. Through hands-on activities, it builds and strengthens neural connections to remarkably enhance your child’s brain function. This helps them process information, emotions, and sensory experiences calmly and confidently.
What does LNDA help with?
The LNDA method helps children radically improve and overcome struggles, including: Promoting concentration + reading and math comprehension.
Controlling impulsive behavior, and relaxing rigid thinking.
Increasing frustration tolerance and regulating emotions.
Improving social skills and sensory processing
How soon will we see results?
Your child improves each session. On average, these changes grow noticeable by 12-15 weeks, with significant, lifetime improvements reached by 6-12 months.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling roles in the world— it’s also one of the hardest.
Pesach Tikvah’s parenting groups are led by licensed mental health professionals. During your once-a-week meetings, you’ll be empowered with the tools to help your children succeed.
What drew you to your specific modality?
Miriam Pluchok, LMSW: Many people struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other challenges that affect their relationships. By focusing on the “here and now” (present dynamics) and not just the “there and then” (past experiences/ happenings), I can support clients in group therapy to learn more about their relationship patterns and gain awareness of their interactions. Drawing on Dr. Irvin Yalom’s group therapy model, I use the group as an opportunity to experiment with healthier relationship dynamics, which can then be applied to real-life relationships outside the group.
Rivky Weiss, LCSW: I’ve seen many parents struggle with parenting their children. Parenting difficulties are often triggered by our own emotions and attachment histories. Using an attachment-based lens has helped me and my clients recognize triggers and patterns in their parenting.
Who would benefit most from this program?
Rachel Brezel LMHC, MSeD: This group is designed for parents who are motivated, able to join group sessions consistently, and willing to engage in group discussions and experiment with new skills and techniques. This parenting workshop will be especially helpful for parents of children who struggle with anxiety, OCD, authority, peer relationship/ social issues, and anger management.
How will this program help participants improve their parenting skills?
Rivky Weiss, LCSW: How many parents have found themselves thinking: I can't believe I just said to my child the very thing my parents used to say to me! Am I just destined to repeat the same mistakes? In this parenting group, we will explore the extent to which our childhood experiences actually do shape the way we parent. Understanding more about yourself in a deeper way can help you build a more effective and enjoyable relationship with your children.
What results can participants expect?
Rachel Brezel LMHC, MSeD: Parents who are willing to engage in new skills and techniques will successfully improve their parent-child dynamic. As a parent, you can expect to build confidence and feel more secure in your parenting role.
Rivky Weiss, LCSW Rivky is an LCSW and a graduate of New York University. She specializes in psychodynamic therapy with a particular focus on trauma and attachment theory. She has trained in DBT, EMDR, Somatic therapy, and Attachment theory.
Rachel Brezel LMHC, MSeD Rachel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with over 15 years of experience. She is a principal in Bais Yaakov of Boro Park for over 40 years and has a dual Masters, one in Education and one in Mental Health. One of Rachel’s specialties is helping parents of children who struggle with OCD, anxiety, anger management, socialization, and more.
Miriam Pluchok, LMSW Miriam has an LMSW from Fordham University. She works with individuals and groups, utilizing interpersonal psychodynamic psychotherapy. She is also trained in Somatic Experiencing and DBT skills.

THE REAL GLOW
(Re: How to Build a Campfire, Issue 195)
I appreciated the articles about camping and building campfires. It brought me back to the summers of my childhood. Every year, my family took a long kayaking trip, usually down the Delaware River. To this day, when I want to relax, that’s the image that comes to me: floating down a sparkling river with two green mountains soaring up on either side of me, the blue sky above and the sun warming me through. The camps my children attend keep them very busy with fancy shows and trips to amusement parks, but I think that kind of fun is very contrived. It doesn’t compare to spending time in nature, slowing down and connecting with yourself and the people and the world around you. Building a fire with just the wood on the ground and your own determination brings a glow of satisfaction that no roller coaster can ever match.
Thanks for a great read.

(Re: Off the Beaten Path, Issue 195)
Pinchas S.I really enjoy the variety of articles in The Boro Park View. Most recently I enjoyed the articles about frum families’ experiences with hiking and camping. I wanted to remind people that it’s important to educate yourself about the halachos of techum, especially when vacationing or camping. We’re used to checking the eruv and checking our pockets before going out for walks on Shabbos, but the issue of techum Shabbos is less well known.
(Re: A Challah Bake, Issue 194)
Thank you for your amazing magazine. Wednesday is the highlight of my week!
I was excited to see your Challah Guide, having tried various recipes without achieving the perfect results. I have a couple of questions though. The recipe stated that this dough makes seven 3-lb. challos. Which pan size should be used? Also, the recipe says to transfer the dough to a bowl before rising. Is this an important step, or can it stay in the mixer bowl while rising (as I watched my super-experienced mother-in-law do)? Lastly, the instructions don’t call for punching down the dough before braiding. Is it necessary to do this?
Thanks for your help!
Use oval 3-lb. size pans.You do not need to transfer to a separate bowl if you would like to let it rise in the mixer bowl. You do not need to punch before braiding.
(Re: A Challah Bake, Issue 194)
Thank you for such a great magazine. I love how everyone in the family can find something interesting to read in every issue.
As a newlywed, I was really excited to see the Challah Guide. Though my mother made sure to teach me how to braid challah when I was bas mitzvah, that was quite a while back. Most cookbooks nowadays don’t have such instructions, so I clipped your guide to have it handy each time I bake challah.
I was also excited to see that you printed an exact recipe for challah dough. I find that a lot of people don’t use exact measurements for many basic recipes, because they just kind of know what they’re doing. But as a new cook, I need an exact recipe to get me started.
Looking forward to more amazing guides and basic, heimishe recipes.

(Re: Excursions, Issue 179)
I just spent a beautiful Shabbos in Tannersville, where I met several women who were inquiring about attractions in the area. Is there any boating? they wondered. Where can we take the kids?
I was able to help them by telling them about Saugerties Marina, the boat rentals at North-South Lake Compound, the must-see Kaaterskill Falls and Putin Plus’s sports fun. They were surprised that I had this knowledge at my fingertips. “How do you know all this? Were you in this area before?” they asked.
My answer was simple. I’m a proud reader of The Boro Park View and thus a grateful owner of your Excursions guides! It really enhances our summer. Thank you!

In this week’s parsha , the Torah discusses the ir nidachas , an entire city that engages in idolatry, and must be completely destroyed. All belongings must be gathered on the streets and burned; it’s prohibited to take pleasure from them.
The pasuk concludes, “V’nasan lecha rachamim, verechamcha — and He will grant you compassion and be compassionate with you” (Devarim 13:18).
Rashi explains that so long as there is avodah zarah in this world, there exists a charon af, Heavenly wrath. By destroying the assets of the ir nidachas rather than deriving pleasure from them, Hashem will remove His charon af and bring rachamim instead.
In the pasuk , a repetitive phrase is used to describe Hashem’s reaction of compassion. Why is the expression of rachamim used twice in a row?
IN THE SUMMER OF 1997, Moshe Schwartz of Eretz Yisroel experienced a medical crisis. His doctors recommended he travel to California to see a specialist.
Arriving in Los Angeles, he was overwhelmed by the gracious assistance of some local askanim. He was picked up from the airport and driven to the Cedars-Sinai Hospital. The askanim assured Moshe that he need not worry about the financial aspect. “We’ll try to work on donors,” they said.
The first stop they made was to a well-known benefactor, Reb Anschel. They described the situation, and Anschel was visibly moved. He was accustomed to making large contributions to worthy causes, but for some reason, this time Anschel wanted to do more. An inner voice prodded him, Anschel! This is a great opportunity! After all, whoever has rachmanus on Hashem’s children, Hashem has rachmanus on him.
Anschel was surprised at his own emotions. This wasn’t the first time he was helping out a Yid in need. He was con-
stantly involved in tzedaka. Why did this feel different?
Somehow, he found himself signing a blank check and giving it to the askanim. “Here, fill it out for as much as this Yid needs.”
Several weeks passed. Moshe was discharged from the hospital and was preparing to return to his family in Eretz Yisroel. Before he left Los Angeles, he wanted to express his hakaras hatov to his kind benefactor. He wrote a warm letter, and since it was nearly Chanukah, he decided to purchase a silver menorah to go along with it. This would be his way of expressing his gratitude to Anschel for giving him the gift of life.
One of the askanim accompanied Moshe to Anschel’s home. They knocked on the door and waited. Moshe was eager to meet the man who had so selflessly helped him. But there was no answer. No one was home.
The askan made some phone calls and discovered that
Anschel had traveled to New York, where he had a branch of his business in the East Side. He was to remain there for the next little while, and would return to his home in Los Angeles after Chanukah.
Moshe was not sure what to do; he had already purchased the gift. He decided to ship it by UPS.
Over in the East Side, late one afternoon, Anschel was sitting in his office. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. Black rings circled in front of his eyes at a dizzying pace. The next thing he knew, there were paramedics standing over him.
Anschel learned that just after he had passed out, a UPS delivery man had come to his office to deliver a package. He was the one who found Anschel, unresponsive and alone in his office, and called the ambulance.
The package he was delivering was none other than the silver menorah shipped from his hometown, Los Angeles, by the man whose life he had saved!
Before long, Anschel was discharged from the hospital. It was perfect timing — just in time to light the first light of Chanukah.
On that night, with great emotion, two men on opposite ends of the world recited Shehecheyanu with extra fervor. Moshe, in his home in Yerushalayim, who had merited his refuah thanks to Anschel, and Anschel in the New York, whose life was saved by a messenger sent by Moshe. It was clear to Anschel that indeed, one who displays compassion to another, will be blessed with compassion from Above. *
The Gemara (Shabbos 151b) explains, based on this pasuk (ibid.), “Kol hamerachem al habriyos, merachamen alav min haShamayim” — Anyone who has compassion on Hashem’s creatures will receive compassion from Above.
Reb Eliyahu Lopian explains:
There are times when Hashem wants to be merachem on someone, but the person needs a zechus in order to merit that compassion. So Hashem will send an opportunity for the person to display compassion toward another Yid, and through this he will be worthy of rachamei Shamayim
This is the explanation of the pasuk. V’nasan lecha rachamim — Hashem sends you compassion; He sends you an opportunity to be merachem on another Yid, and through this you will acquire “v’rechamcha” – Hashem will shower you with compassion.
Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.
Anschel! This is a great opportunity! After all, whoever has rachmanus on Hashem’s children, Hashem has rachmanus on him

Lawmakers, community leaders and organizational heads gathered together at Brooklyn Square Rooftop on August 2, recognizing accomplishments and discussing issues of mutual interest at the Boro Park Jewish Community Council’s second annual legislative barbeque.
Speakers applauded Boro Park JCC for serving area residents throughout the year, and hailed the lawmakers and officials for their ongoing support. Opening the program, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke about his successful effort to win $300 million in COVID aid for New York’s Jewish communities, benefitting shuls, yeshivas and Jewish organizations statewide. Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, one of the night’s honorees, admitted that instead of being recognized by Boro Park JCC, he should be presenting the organization with an award for its many initiatives.
“Boro Park JCC may be just two blocks from my office but at times it feels like we are just one long
office, with us sending constituents to their office and vice versa,” observed Eichenstein.
U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, another of the night’s honorees, emphasized the moral obligation to support communities that come under attack.
“We will always stand with the Boro Park Jewish community and Jewish communities all across the country until we crush anti-Semitism, bury it in the ground, never to be seen again,” vowed Jeffries.
Also honored were Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, New York City Community Affairs Unit Commissioner Fred Kreizman, Heritage Levavot founder Olga Lipschitz and Fidelis Care Senior Vice President Scott Averill.
Lamenting the trend of criticizing elected officials, Boro Park JCC President Isaac Stern brought home the message of the night.
“The fact is that we at the BPJCC are able to help thousands and thousands and thousands of people because of how the elected officials go out of their way to help us, so tonight we are here to say thank you,” said Stern.
“It was incredible to look around the room and see community leaders thanking the elected officials whose dedicated efforts have brought funding and assistance to Boro Park in person, even as those same lawmakers delighted in being able to meet people being represented by community leaders,” added BPJCC CEO Avi Greenstein.

CRV vehicles. The NYPD’s auto larceny incentive is applicable only to vehicles registered in New York State.
CBS News reported that car thefts are up 350% in New York City over statistics reported in mid-2019, and 18% since last summer. The NYPD launched a new unit in July dedicated to handling car thefts in the Bronx and north Queens, which have seen the biggest jumps in incidents.
They have been lighting up the world since the 1800s, but last week, a ban on the manufacture and sale of incandescent bulbs went into effect.
CNN reported that it took the government sixteen years to pass the ban, an effort that first began during the presidency of George W. Bush that was later tabled by the Trump administration. The ban was brought back to life by the United States Department of Energy in April 2022, setting a standard that required all light bulbs to emit at least 45 lumens per watt, approximately three times more than the amount produced by a standard incandescent bulb.
The ban does not prevent anyone from using incandescent bulbs that they already own, and certain types of bulbs are exempt, including appliance, bug, reflector, colored, infrared, showcase and left-hand thread lamps, as well as plant, floor, showcase and black lights. Also excluded from the ban are specialty bulbs, including three-way, chandelier and certain odd sized bulbs. While LED bulbs are more expensive to purchase, the Department of Energy estimates that consumers will save nearly $3 billion each year on their utility bills.
Consumers who are accustomed to measuring brightness in watts, which measure how much energy bulbs draw, are going to have to learn to start thinking in lumens instead. While a typical household bulb uses 60 watts of energy, a comparable 800 lumen bulb needs just eight to 12 watts to generate the same amount of light.
While the ban may seem like another example of government intrusion, Americans have been moving away from incandescent bulbs for years. According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, less than twenty percent of the bulbs sold during the first three months of 2022 were incandescent, reported CNN.
Next up on the list of bulbs to be banned? Compact fluorescents, those twisty spiral bulbs that became popular approximately 30 years ago. While they use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs and last about ten times longer, they will not meet a new 120 lumen per bulb standard that could go into effect as soon as the end of next year.
Whether you choose to drive or take public transportation, getting around in New York City is becoming more expensive than ever.
Toll hikes went into effect on August 6 at Metropolitan Transportation Association bridges and tunnels including the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, Queens-Midtown Tunnel, RFK Bridge, Throgs Neck Bridge and Verrazano Narrows Bridge. New York E-ZPass prices rose six percent, while those with out of state E-ZPass tags and drivers who pay their tolls through the mail were hit with a ten percent increase.
Subway, bus, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North commuters have an extra 15 days of lower prices before they too see a jump on their travel costs. Subway and bus fares will go up 15 cents to $2.90, while monthly and weekly tickets for LIRR and Metro-North will increase by four and a half percent.
Parents who use Philip Avent digital video monitors to keep an eye on their babies are being urged to check their units’ model numbers to determine if it is one of nearly 13,000 that are being recalled because of a potential battery defect.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced last week that a problem with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery was linked to 23 complaints filed in Europe of baby monitors that overheated, resulting in seven minor injuries. The baby monitors affected by the recall have model number SCD630 or SCD843 stamped on the bottom of the parent unit, with a manufacturing date that falls between March 2016 and December 2019. They were sold from March 2016 through January 2020 at a price range of $120 - $200.
While no injuries have been reported yet in the United States, anyone who owns an affected monitor is being advised to stop using it immediately and to contact Philips Avent for a free replacement at 833276-5311.
Riva struggles to process the knowledge that Chevi is bullying Fraidy. Yaakov suggests that they move in with Riva’s parents for Pesach, but it turns out that Lani has already snagged the invitation.
It was convenient to blame a lack of communication on being busy. But as Lani stood in front of the single bedroom closet that contained Malky, Shana, Chevi, OZ, Simcha, and Shifra’s clothing, trying to figure out where and what to start packing for Pesach, being busy was a lame excuse that kept her from dialing Riva.
In fact, when else, if not precisely during such busy times, did she and Riva normally call each other a hundred times a day, to discuss crucial matters such as which tights would be in that season, what are the kids eating for supper, what time is Maddie finishing by you, and give me your recipe for that heavenly mango pineapple sorbet?
Well, recipes weren’t relevant this year — she’d helped her mother with the baking one day, using her mother’s recipes, and that was that. And Maddie — who was Maddie anyway, right?
Lani took a pile of shells off the shelf and put it down on Shana’s bed, one of the two bottom bunks in the room. She had to get moving. She’d sent the girls out with a list of errands, the boys were outside with neighbors somewhere, and Shifra was napping. So, shells.
The shells she needed to pack depended on the clothing she was taking along.
Hello, Riva, help me.
No, they weren’t too busy to talk. And if until then she’d thought she
was to blame — that she couldn’t stand talking to Riva because talking to her sister made her get all mad about the loan and the paused construction — she’d been getting the vibe lately that it wasn’t all about her. Riva was acting strange. It was obvious from their very few and very brief conversations that Riva was the one who was anxious to get off the phone.
Maybe Riva felt uncomfortable. She certainly had reason to, Lani thought grimly.
She moved the pile of shells over to a corner of the bed and once again turned to face the overstuffed closet.
Okay, this was ridiculous. She was shooting herself in the foot; the only one suffering for her silence was herself.
It felt a little strange to dial Riva’s number out of the blue. When was the last time she’d called Riva without having a specific question to ask?
Riva didn’t answer her landline. Lani tried her cell, realizing a second too late that it probably didn’t make sense to call someone on her cell for packing advice.
“Hi, what’s up?” Riva whispered.
“Why are you whispering?”
“I’m at work. Do you need anything?”
“You’re at work? It’s Sunday! And Erev Pesach!”
“Hang on, one minute.”
Lani heard light footsteps, a door opening and closing, and a moment later, Riva was back. “I stepped out. I had to come in today, my boss insisted. What’s doing?”
“Um, nothing, I mean, nothing important. I wouldn’t have called you if I’d known you were at work.”
“It’s okay. I can listen.”
Lani pulled the hosiery store bag with all her girls’ tights out from the corner of the closet and lined it up next to the shells on the bed. “No, no, seriously. Not important. I’m just, like, packing here, and I had some questions. You know, it’s almost more overwhelming to pack up eight people for eight days than to make Pesach. But anyway, we
can talk later.”
“Oh, you’re packing to go to Mommy?”
There was something unnerving in her voice, almost bitter. “Uh, yes,” Lani stammered.
Was there anything wrong with what she’d said? Riva knew she was moving in with her parents for Pesach; Lani wasn’t revealing any news here. Was she upset about that? Jealous?
“So, like, you’ll be there for the entire Yom Tov?” Riva asked. “You aren’t going to Chaim Tzvi’s parents for a Seder or something?”
She didn’t sound jealous. Just… weird. Where was she heading with this? “N-no. They didn’t invite us this year. They’re having two movein families plus the young couple.”
“Ah. Aha, okay.”
It was quiet for a moment. Lani perched on the corner of Shana’s bed, feeling oddly tongue-tied. “Uh, so you’ll come for one Seder?” she asked.
“Maybe,” Riva replied coolly. “We’ll see. Anyway, I need to go back in now. Anything else?”
“No, nothing else. Take care.”
Packing somehow felt even more overwhelming after hanging up.
When the Strohs arrived at Zeidy and Bubby Miller’s house for the second Seder, Bubby showed everyone where to sit. Naturally, Fraidy’s seat was right next to Chevi Eisdorf. Where else would Bubby seat her? She and Chevi were the same age and always sat together.
Fraidy frantically turned to her mother. She’d so badly wanted to stay home for the Seder, for this very reason, but her mother had told her that they couldn’t miss Zeidy’s Seder, and that she would make sure that Chevi wouldn’t get anywhere near her.
She still hadn’t wanted to come, but really, there was no choice. What would they tell Bubby?
True to her word, her mother went over to the chair where Fraidy was meant to sit and sat Tzippy down. Then she wheeled over
the high chair next to Tzippy and strapped Eli in. She took the next seat, and Fraidy sat down after her.
There were three seats between her and Chevi now, but still, every time Fraidy looked up, she caught Chevi’s eyes on her. It was a big dining room, but with both families squeezed together around the extended table, it somehow felt small and stuffy. The only safe place to keep her eyes was on her Hagaddah.
In middle of Maggid, just before the makkos, her mother stood up and took a cranky Eli out of the highchair. “I’m going to put him to sleep,” she told Fraidy.
She was barely out of the room when Fraidy heard Chevi calling, in a low voice. “Psst. Fraidy?”
At first Fraidy ignored her, pretending she hadn’t heard over the noise in the room. But when Chevi repeated, “Pssst, pssssssst,” for the third time, she tipped her chair back and reluctantly turned her head to her cousin.
“You said Mah Nishtanah soooooo beautifully. You only stuttered six times, I counted. Wow, tell your mother to write Mrs. Shiffer a
mitzvah note.”
Fraidy felt her face heat up. She pushed her chair all the way in to the
brother Shaya came around with a bottle of grape juice and filled up her and her mother’s kosos
The next thing Fraidy knew, she was soaking wet. Grape juice rained down from the table, and she jumped up, nearly slipping in the puddle on the floor. At the same moment, she noticed Chevi sliding quietly back into her own seat, the picture of innocence.
“Oh my, Fraidy!” Bubby cried. “Goodness, how did that happen?”
“I-I-I… d-d-didn’t…”
Bubby came over with a pile of napkins. “Okay, don’t worry, sweetie. We’ll clean it up. And maybe Chevi has something you can change into?”
Fraidy stared down at herself. Her brand new Yom Tov outfit, a beautiful mauve pleated skirt and sweater, had huge purples stains all over.

“Oh no! Yikes!” her mother whispered in horror when she saw Fraidy. She tiptoed out of the room and closed the door gently behind her.
“I’m not going back down,” Fraidy declared fiercely.
“Oh, please, Fraidy. There’s nothing embarrassing about grape juice spilling. It could happen to anyone. Remember how Tatty’s kittel looked last year after Pesach?”
Fraidy was quiet for a moment. Then she said turned a pained face to her mother. “Chevi spilled it,” she said. “On purpose.”
“Chevi?”
Chevi turned at the sound of Riva’s voice. She looked startled.
“Can you come to the kitchen for a minute, please?”
“Uh…”
“Now,” Riva said coldly.
Chevi stood up and Riva let her walk ahead of her.
In the kitchen, Riva folded her arms and glared at her niece. “What was that all about?”
“What?” Chevi asked.
“What? Don’t ask me what. You just spilled grape juice all over Fraidy. Can you explain the meaning of that?”
“That’s not true, I didn’t! She’s such a liar!”
“Who’s a liar?”
Riva’s mother had entered the kitchen and caught Chevi’s words.
Riva’s eyes flitted between Chevi and her mother. “Uh, nobody,” she said, darting another icy glare at Chevi. “Nobody’s a liar. And I think Chevi knows that,” she added sharply.
She waited for her mother to leave, but her mother got busy at the blech, rearranging food. Chevi took the opportunity to escape back to the dining room.
Fraidy was still upstairs, and Riva debated if she should go back up and force her to come down. She decided to give her daughter some space, at least until the end of Maggid.
Riva returned to the table and sat tensely as her father continued lead-
ing them through the Hagaddah. Finally, when it was time to go wash, she headed upstairs.
“You’ll just sit next to me the whole time,” she cajoled a sobbing Fraidy, “and if I get up to go help Bubby serve or whatever, you’ll come along with me. I know it’s hard, and when Yom Tov is over, me and Tatty are going to crack down on this. We’ll make sure she never starts up with you again.” She gave Fraidy a little nudge. “Come, Fraidy, let’s try to be brave.”
Fraidy stood up, took one last look at her purple-stained skirt and sweater, and shuffled after Riva.
Riva was on edge for the rest of the Seder, as though she was an observer to the scene: Matzah being passed around, kids asking for more — no, more! A lot – of the “white” marror, a Yom Tov Seudah being served. She hardly exchanged a word with Lani, pretending to be busy with Tzippy whenever their eyes met. At her side, Fraidy was quiet the entire night, and Riva’s heart seesawed between intense pity and burning rage.
It was during tzafun that Fraidy finally opened her mouth. Shaya was clutching Yaakov’s afikomen bag to his chest with one hand and flipping pages in the Toys4U catalog with the other, showing Yaakov exactly what he wanted, then changing his mind, then changing his mind again. When he finally made up his mind — “The Playmobil fire station, um, no, rollerblades, no, no, I think a new scooter…” — Yaakov turned to Fraidy. “And you’re not asking for anything?”
Shielding part of the stains on her sweater, Fraidy threw a hate-filled look at Chevi and then blurted, “I’m asking to change schools right after Pesach.”
Riva gulped, glancing frantically at her mother and at Lani to see if they’d heard. But before she could determine anything, and before Yaakov had a chance to respond, OZ Eisdorf ran over to Zeidy Miller and, using his built-in microphone, made an announcement. “Zeidy, for afikomen, I’m asking that you give Andy a lot of money so he’ll finish building our house!”

I always wondered, what does “doing Amazon” actually mean? How did everyone (and their neighbor) find products to sell, how did they build listings, how did they get customers to buy their products?
And most importantly, did it work? Was Amazon the answer to all parnassah problems? If yes, what would it take for me to become part of that “everyone”?
Now that I’ve done it, I look back and replay the events surrounding that jump, shuddering at some of my memories, reveling in others. It’s hard to answer the many questions people ask me about my business. They want to hear about a clear path to success, they want me to decide what they really want to know: Is this for me?
It may be, it may not be. As with every business out there, there’s a lot of opportunity, and an equal amount of risk. I’ve learned a lot about business along my journey, but even more, I learned about bitachon, about my limitations, and about remaining focused on the big picture when the small details seem to take over.
I was very much done. Done being employed. Working long hours outside the house and earning an hourly wage wasn’t working for our family anymore. I needed more flexibility with my schedule, and we also needed to increase our income. But my husband was learning in kollel, and I wanted to stick it out as long as possible, continuing to support his learning.
Amazon seemed to be the perfect solution. The draw for me was the ecommerce concept that you could earn money while you sleep. I knew it wasn’t as simple as that; otherwise, everyone and their neighbor and their neighbor’s cousin, too, would be selling on Amazon. But there was some truth to that statement, and even if it took a lot of work at first, the “passive income” model was very appealing.
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE AND THEIR NEIGHBOR DOES AMAZON.
Learn.
Working in the manufacturing space for many years, I’d gained a lot of experience in the process of product development and importing goods from the Far East. That was an excellent skillset to bring to this project, and it certainly proved helpful throughout the process, but it wasn’t enough. In order to “do Amazon” you have to “learn Amazon.” Well. Really, really well.
My learning process involved hours and hours of free training courses, as well as talking to many Amazon sellers and learning about their experiences. These two were equally important. The courses helped me learn the nuts and bolts of Amazon’s seller platform, as well as Amazon’s confounding Terms of Service. Speaking to sellers helped me explore various selling strategies and figure out which one would be a good fit for me.
There are two kinds of sellers on Amazon. The first category finds great wholesale deals on any item under the sun, purchases the goods from qualified vendors, and adds his price offer next to other sellers selling the same goods on Amazon. These sellers don’t create their own listings. They’re the category you’re accessing when you click Have one to sell? Sell on Amazon. It’s easier to get started with such a business and you need much less training. Such sellers basically participate in pricing wars all day, but other than that, the work is pretty straightforward.
The second kind of seller is invested in building his own brand. These sellers manufacture their own products and create new listings
1. You do earn money while you sleep, but a lot less than you do when you’re up, simply because, surprise, surprise, most of your potential buyers are sleeping as well. Sales typically rise as the day progresses, peaking during early evening hours, then slower as the day winds down and people retire for the night.
2. Amazon raises their fees for 4Q (fourth quarter), in time for the holiday peak sales season. It’s upsetting for sellers, but also understandable, considering that Amazon hires many seasonal workers to accommodate the explosion of sales.
3. Returns hurt sellers more than you can imagine. Unlike when you return an item you bought in a store, where the store owner returns your money and can later sell the product to another customer, Amazon sellers don’t get back the sell price from the return, because Amazon holds onto a certain amount of each sale (even if it’s returned). Also, many damages occur during shipping, rendering the product unfit to be sold again as brand new. Think twice before ordering something you’re fairly certain you’re going to return.
4. Ranking is the name of the game when it comes to selling on Amazon. You need your listing to rank well in order to see a high volume of sales. At the same time, you need a high volume of sales in order to rank well. Sounds tricky? Maybe, but it really isn’t very different from any other business that’s just starting out. New businesses spend money on ads or offer discounted introductory prices. Similarly, Amazon sellers invest funds in a product launch, either with sponsored ads or by offering a great buy, in order to generate that high volume of sales and kick off a good ranking.
5. Branding offers great opportunities to sellers. It’s worth investing in getting your brand trademarked. In addition to protecting your product from fraudulent sellers, you get to take advantage of the many features that are available only to branded products.
to add to the Amazon catalog. They spend several million hours researching products, corresponding with factories, creating something from nothing.
Call me a glutton for punishment; that’s the route I took.
It takes so much time. And energy. And nerves. It’s a slow process and there are many bumps along the way. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this, so as not to turn off wannabe sellers, but I always ask myself, had I known what it would take, would I have done it? It’s really hard to answer.
Closing your eyes, davening hard, and jumping in.
We went through several rounds of samples before finalizing our first product. I was literally shaking when we sent the deposit for our first order. It’s scary. Even if you do everything right, there are no guarantees. You need tremendous siyata d’Shmaya to succeed in this space. Davening is a crucial step in this process, before and after every step you take.
When our order was in production, we worked with a forwarding company to set up our shipment from China to an Amazon fulfillment center. There are a lot of technical details and choices involved, and we learned about each one as they came up.
Meanwhile, I spent a lot of time working on my listing. A lot of time should be spent working on a listing. It’s your first and most important step for attracting sales. Sellers should invest in top notch photography and graphics, and a lot of time and thought should be devoted to writing the listing. I learned what it takes to write a strong listing title, I learned the science of keywords and algorithms. Many sellers outsource this work to
professional writers, but this is a mistake. As professional as a writer may be, nobody knows or cares about your product as much as you do, and the seller alone is the most qualified for this job. You can have an editor review it when you’re done, but you’re the one who should collect keywords and describe your product the way it will be best described.
Scaling. My first order was too small — we were out of stock before we blinked. My second order was too big — we were overstocked and had to pay tremendous storage fees, eventually removing a lot of the inventory, which was a huge loss as well. It’s hard to judge the projection of sales, and there’s bound to be a learning curve. But if you’re following a specific strategy, you should be able to predict a ballpark sales figure, and set your order quantities accordingly.
MY FIRST ORDER WAS TOO SMALL — WE WERE OUT OF STOCK BEFORE WE BLINKED. MY SECOND ORDER WAS TOO BIG — WE WERE OVERSTOCKED AND HAD TO PAY TREMENDOUS STORAGE FEES
Keeping the whole venture a secret until it was actually up and running. The pressure of having everyone ask me all the time how it was going would’ve killed me.
After approving samples and running an inspection on production, there was a huge mistake with one of our products, and it generated many negative reviews to our listing. How did this mistake happen? Our vendor decided, at the last minute, to change a detail of the product, based on a different customer’s request. They didn’t bother consulting with us to find out if we wanted this change, and we were left to deal with irate customers and a huge number of returns.
Amazon and its sellers are partners. You need to work hand in hand to succeed. Although their rules and decisions often make sellers’ lives miserable, ultimately, you need each other; Your success is their success, and if you play by the rules, both of you stand to gain.
How emotionally draining this business is. There are no set hours, and every second that passes, you may have made a sale, or not. It’s easy to fall into a habit of obsessively checking sales, best seller rankings, and how the competition is doing. Of course you need to stay on top of things, but if you let it become an obsession, it could make you sick. You need to learn how to shut off and focus on other things in your life. Otherwise, you could easily become consumed by your business and constantly preoccupied with your Amazon activities.
Every day looks different. Many days truly are passive, with a system set up and only minimal oversight required. Then there are some super intense days — for example, during a product launch. Also, a lot of the work happens at night, because there’s a twelve-hour time difference between New York and China, and if you want to conduct an efficient discussion with your vendor, you’ll find yourself emailing back and forth at 11:00, 12:00, 1:00 at night.
Samples are vitally important. Don’t hesitate to request as many samples as it takes before you’re 100% satisfied with the results, and insist on seeing a final sample before production, even if it causes a delay. Check for every potential problem and make sure your product is absolutely perfect. Reviews carry a lot of weight on Amazon, and if you want your product to be rated highly, it has to be a great product.
At the same time, you have to know when to let go. Better done than perfect. Do your best, but there comes a point when you have to conclude that you’ve done all reasonable hishtadlus, and now it’s time to surrender to Hashem’s will.
SAMPLES ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT. DON’T HESITATE TO REQUEST AS MANY SAMPLES AS IT TAKES BEFORE YOU’RE 100% SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS

Flip over any package, and somewhere near the barcode, you’ll find the words Made in China. Sometimes, when a product is feeling a bit cockier, the words will be Product of PRC, which is a fancier term but means the exact same thing.
No matter what you’re reading in the news, China remains The World’s Factory, yielding 28.7% of the Global Manufacturing Output. You may debate the quality of Chinese goods, but you can’t debate the hard fact: it’s cheaper to manufacture almost anything in China.
When I started my business, I became part of this colossal machine, adding Chinese names to my contact list. I learned all about the manufacturing process, I learned the ins and outs of importing goods from China, and I learned to put up with a holiday schedule that dominates this business.
I always wondered how an entrepreneur establishes relationships with Chinese suppliers. Do you have to travel to the Far East to find factories and create products? Do you need an agent working on your behalf to conduct business deals and oversee operations?
Sometimes traveling is helpful and maybe even necessary. And for some businesses, hiring an agent to act as a liaison between your company and various factories is a great option as well. I didn’t do any of that, though. For a new business starting out, it’s fairly easy to conduct business with China without stepping away from your desk. The path is simple and accessible to anyone. It’s called Alibaba.
Alibaba is an online marketplace where virtually all Chinese factories have a presence. Categories range from toys to electrical equipment, furniture to kitchen supplies, gardening tools to medical devices, fashion to craft supplies to sports equipment to home décor, and so on.
But really, that’s step two. Step one is figuring out what exactly you want to manufacture, and why.
Some people have an idea to open a certain type of store: Children’s clothing, appliances, housewares… They know exactly what kind of products they’re looking to source. I didn’t, though. I knew I wanted to sell on Amazon, but I had no idea what to actually sell. So my first step was researching hundreds of items and determining which space I wanted to enter.
I spent a lot of time studying items on Amazon. There’s a whole science behind choosing a product to sell, and it took a few months before I made the crucial choice. I did contact some factories on Alibaba during this time, because I needed to have a general idea of costs in order to settle on a product.
Once I knew what I wanted to sell, I communicated with several suppliers on Alibaba, comparing quotes and getting a sense of which factory I would feel most comfortable doing business with.
If you start SEARCHING FOR SUPPLIERS on Alibaba, you’re going to get a lot of results, and the choices may confuse you. Before anything, you’ll want to narrow down the options so that you only see the listings from suppliers who are verified by Alibaba and are enrolled in Trade Assurance. You can also see how many years each factory has been in business, as well as their order volume.
I checked out individual sellers’ pages and websites, exploring each factory’s product line to see if they carry a product similar to what I was seeking. I learned to disregard the prices listed; they are nothing more than a reference point.
I started contacting sellers. In my email, I introduced myself and described the product I was looking to manufacture. I provided as many product details as possible. I also supplied my email address and asked my contacts to email me so we could communicate more efficiently off the Alibaba platform.
In no time, I was flooded with responses. Carefully, I compared the responses and identified the more promising leads. Over time, you develop a sense for finding the most reputable factories.
After that, I started engaging in NEGOTIATIONS
Negotiating with suppliers is an art. There’s always room for negotiation, but you need to be both creative and flexible with your negotiations. Try to come up with ideas for how to bring pricing down. For example, you may choose a cheaper packaging option. Attractive packaging is not that important on Amazon, since it isn’t a brick and mortar store. But whatever you do, do not compromise on product quality.
Pricing, I learned, is almost everything. If a factory offers a price that’s significantly lower than all other suppliers, that made me a little wary. Is the quality as good as the other offers I got? Is the factory trustworthy?
The next stage was SAMPLES. It’s okay to request samples from more than one factory, to compare the quality. You’ll sometimes be asked to pay for shipping, and then if you end up ordering from that factory, the sample fee will be deducted from your order total. Even if it costs you some money, you can’t skip this step.
Settling on a factory took some time. Once I made the decision, we worked together on creating a prototype and figuring out all packaging details. Finally, with a perfect sample in my hands, I sent a deposit and proceeded to production.
PRODUCTION time varies, often taking up to 30 days. During this time, I worked on creating my listing and dealt with a forwarding company to arrange all the details of my shipment.
When production was done, I scheduled an inspection. It’s important to tell your hired inspector exactly what to look for, then analyze the inspection report carefully to make sure there are no serious problems with the order.
Once my goods were on the water (industry lingo for “actually on a boat that is traveling across the ocean right now”), I got ready to launch.
It was an incredible feeling. I did it. I manufactured my own product. I’d joined the global market.
Now it was time to sell.
This is the most important question to ask yourself, and you can’t go looking for suppliers before you have a clear answer. Here are some points to keep in mind during the product research stage.
1. Rather than looking for a product to sell, look for a product line. You’re going to invest a lot of time, effort and money in your first product. You’re going to cultivate a relationship with a supplier. You’re going to learn the rules and regulations surrounding your product. You’re going to brand your name and add it to Amazon’s Brand Registry. Basically, you’re going to be living and breathing this product for the foreseeable future. If you’re doing all that, it only makes sense to lay the groundwork for future products so you don’t have to go through the entire process all over again. Besides, with a professional digital storefront featuring a full product line, satisfied customers will return to buy from you when they’re looking for related products.
2. Analyze what makes the best-selling listing of this product stand out among the many other similar listings. Make your product at least as good as that one, in terms of quality, features, and usability. Then, make it better. Add a feature or include a bonus product to attract buyers.
3. Passion isn’t everything. If you enjoy taking pictures, it doesn’t mean you should be selling cameras. You can grow passionate about any product once you’ve learned all about it. It’s a lot more important to assess demand for a product than to love the product you’re selling.
4. Know which selling strategy you’re going to follow, and learn what criteria a product has to meet to align with your strategy. Narrow down your choices accordingly.
5. Never compromise on quality. Naturally, you’ll want to get the best price per unit when purchasing your goods, but if saving several thousand dollars is going to cause you a large return volume or a flood of negative reviews, the savings aren’t worth it.
6. Avoid products that break easily or have a high risk of malfunctioning.
When I was nine years old, I found $20 on the bottom of a swimming pool and felt like a millionaire. I was rolling in riches, for sure!
But unlike me in my nine-year-old naivete, there are kids out there who consider $20 to be chump change. Let’s meet some mini millionaires and how they came upon their stash of cash.
Some kids are different. And that’s not a bad thing. In fact, their quirkiness might just one day work in their favor. Take Moziah Bridges, for instance. Even as a young child, he loved the formal look, and would wear three-piece suits to the playground. But he had one problem: Moziah was disappointed that he couldn’t find just the right bow tie to complement his suits. So what did he do? He learned to sew! Once his grandmother had taught him his way around the sewing machine, Moziah set out to make his mark on the market.
With a little help from his mother, Mo’s Bows was born!
Moziah opened his business selling both bows and neckties at only nine years old. He’s now 21 and has a net worth of $5 million dollars. Not bad for a kid who just wanted a bow tie!
Brennan Agranoff was a little older than Mo when he got his start in the fashion industry. Brennan opened his company Hoopswagg in his junior year of high school. He’d noticed that local sports teams had individualized uniforms — but they all wore the same type of Nike socks.
“What if socks could be a reflection of a team, too?” he thought. To that end, Brennan spent six months researching what it takes to custom print on fabric. Then he approached his parents and asked them for seed money and the use of their garage. Impressed with his drive, his parents gave him a $3,000 loan and allowed him to move machinery into their garage and print personalized socks. Five years after starting his business, Agranoff moved from that humble garage to a 1,500 square foot building where he ships more than a 100 orders a day. His annual revenue is in the seven digits. Who would thunk that socks could be so successful?
Being told “no” might not feel good, but it certainly isn’t a bad thing. If anything, it makes one consider other options. That’s what happened to seven-year-old Alina Morse when her parents told her they didn’t want her to eat a lollipop offered to her by a bank teller for fear of it harming her teeth.
“Why can’t we make a lollipop that’s actually good for your teeth?” young Alina questioned. Encouraged by her parents to pursue her passion, Alina dedicated a few years to learning how to make sugar-free candy that tastes good, and actively testing out the knowledge she gained in the kitchen. Eventually, she nailed the recipes and earned herself a following. Though she was only thirteen when she founded the Zolli Candy company in 2018, her “clean teeth pops” earned her a sweet reward: $6 million that year alone. Alina’s candies are now in more than 24,000 stores, including big box chains such as Walmart and Rite Aid.
It was a sting that started it all.
Little Mikaila Ulmer was just four years old when she had the misfortune of getting stung by a bee — twice in one week. While she hated the experience, it made her stop and think of bees, learn more about them, and grow to appreciate their place in this world. Around that same time, her parents urged her to enter a few kiddie contests, helping her entrepreneurial spirit come to life. One of those contests was for best-tasting lem-
Though younger in age than the amount of fingers on one hand, Mikaila decided to create her own specialty drink based on her grandmother’s recipe for flaxseed lemonade, using honey as a substitute for sugar. After winning the contest, her brand of honey-sweetened drinks, Me & the Bees, was born. Mikaila’s great-tasting lemonade ended up scoring her an $11 million deal with Whole Foods. Not bad for a bee sting!
It seems grandmothers’ recipes come in quite in handy for many young entrepreneurs. Fraser Doherty was a mere fourteen years old when he began playing around with his grandma’s jam recipe, which called for 100% fresh fruit. Once he got it down pat, he approached a major U.K. supermarket chain with his healthy spread and landed a deal, making him the record-holder for youngest supplier to a U.K. store. Since then, he’s sold millions of jars of jam, earning him the nickname “Jam Boy.”
The coolest part of the whole story is that Jam Boy gives back, organizing free tea parties for lonely elderly people around the U.K. where they can enjoy a drink with jam and bread, as well as the company of others their age.
Fourteen-year-old Sarah Buckles loved the look of a decorated locker, but she loathed the job of scraping off adhesive residue when it came time to take down her decorations. Lucky for her, the solution was at home: her dad.
Mr. Buckles was a highranking employee at the MagnaCard company, which manufactures magnetic business products. That made him the perfect person to approach.
Sarah asked if he could talk to his boss about manufacturing magnetic wallpaper for school lockers. The company loved the idea and helped her get set up in business. Sarah Buckles designed a bunch of different options for school-goers who wanted to stickand-style their lockers — no mess involved. Then she patented her idea.
Sarah’s products went on to sell in Target and Staples, among other stores, making her a millionaire within a year.
Eleven-year-old Richie Stachowski was having a blast exploring the underwater world of Hawaii, where his family was vacationing. He had only one issue: He couldn’t talk about the wonders he was witnessing while underwater. “There’s gotta be a way to communicate,” he thought. But nothing had been invented yet. So Rich decided to solve that problem. He set out to learn about underwater acoustics and developed a conical device that enables one to communicate with nearby swimmers. Called the Water Talkie, the rights to manufacture this cool device were bought two years later by a toy company, allowing the boy to live up to his name: Rich.
All of the mini millionaires mentioned so far share several common traits: the desire to succeed, the will to work hard, and family backing. Without any of those ingredients, it’s not likely that the kids would have made their millions.
So what happens when you take out, say, the will to work hard? It’s not always so pretty when kids come into cash for free....
American law has a pretty high minimum age for lottery players, but the United Kingdom has looser rules, enabling sixteen-yearold Callie Rogers to score a 1.8 million pound win in 2003.
Not having worked for the winnings, Callie didn’t have a strong appreciation for the value of money. She went on an absurd spending spree, treating herself to multiple expensive cars, tons of clothing, and other un healthy extras. Ten years later she was down to �2,000 in the bank. Easy come, easy go.

It’s summertime, the perfect season to take on a fun and creative project. This painting project will teach you many painting skills while showing you how to create beautiful artwork for your sukkah.
Over these eight weeks, we will guide you on how to complete a beautiful, hand-painted shivas haminim sukkah decoration. Each of the shivas haminim will get a separate painting as part of this series, and the last week of instructions will be reserved for writing the names of the shivas haminim onto the completed paintings.
The paintings will be taught in a step-bystep manner so everyone can join and enjoy. You do not need to be an artist to create this masterpiece.
Happy painting!
WEEK 7
At last, we’ve gotten to the last of the shivas haminim. This seventh picture will feature tamar, or dates. Together we will paint the most magnificent palm trees that grow in many areas in Eretz Yisroel. This painting will make us feel as though we are right there, basking in the beauty of the land. Enjoy!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Acrylic paint is not washable. Make sure to dress appropriately or wear a smock.
If clothes get dirty, wash with soap and water immediately.
TIPS:
• Before you paint, put the paint colors you’ll be using onto the plate or palette. Fill your cup with water, and keep a paper towel nearby.
• Use baby wipes to fix mistakes while the paint is still wet.
• Keep your brushes in the water when they are not in use.
• When you finish painting, wash your brushes with soap and water.
SUPPLIES
• Smock
• Plate or palette
• Cup
• Paper towel
• 8x10” canvas
• Large brushes
• Medium brushes
• Thin brushes
• Easel (optional)
• Phthalo blue • White
ACRYLIC PAINTS
Brown
Black
Green • Yellow ocher
STEP 1
Mix blue and white to create a light blue. Starting on top of the canvas, paint the entire background with a back-and-forth motion. Add more white as you move lower down on the canvas.
STEP 2
On the right side of the canvas, use brown paint to sketch the trunk of the palm tree. Sketch a long, narrow triangle with the tip curving a bit to the left.
Draw another large palm tree trunk on the left of the canvas. Angle this trunk to the right.
Draw a smaller palm tree trunk in the center of the canvas. Angle this one to the left.
STEP 3
Add some black to your brown paint to darken it. Use this dark brown to fill the palm tree trunks.
STEP 4
While the brown paint is still wet, add some thin horizontal white streaks to each trunk.
STEP 5
Starting at the tip of each trunk, use green paint to draw curved lines angled downward to create the center of the leaves. Sketch about six to eight leaves per tree. The leaves may overlap.
STEP 6
Extending from beneath each leaf, paint small green lines angled downward. Add some white over some of the small lines to highlight them.
STEP 7
In the center of the palm tree, where the leaves and trunk meet, use yellow ocher paint to draw small dots. These are the dates.
STEP 8
Proudly sign your name!
Until next time, Chava

Paper tape, duct tape, masking tape, packing tape, double-sided tape, electrical tape, surgical tape… the rolls roll on and on! Let’s take a deeper look at adhesive tape, which bonds so many items in our lives.
1845
ADHESIVE TAPE: CAN YOU PATCH ME UP, DOC?
Modern-day tape made its first appearance in a doctor’s office. Looking to create an adhesive bandage for his patients, surgeon Horace Day created the earliest version of this packing tape.
1925
MASKING
TAPE: HELPING PAINT THOSE CARS
When Richard Drew noticed how difficult it was for auto body shop painters to create clean dividing lines on twocolored paint jobs, he came up with paper tape. Soon, perfectly painted cars were driving the roads.
SCOTCH TAPE: FOR DANISHES, MEAT, AND CUCUMBERS
Five years after his success with paper tape, Richard Drew came up with a new twist. Seeking a practical way to seal food wrap, he designed the world’s first transparent waterproof tape, to the delight of bakers, grocers, and meat packers. When the tape hit the general market, people were thrilled with this new means for fixing books, ripped window shades, and torn currency.
DUCT TAPE:
ONE MOTHER’S CONCERN Vesta Stoudt, a mother of two US troops fighting on the front during World War II, worked at an ammunition factory. She came up with the idea of water-resistant tape made of fabric to replace poor packaging methods used for grenade launcher cartridges. When her supervisors were skeptical, she turned to President Roosevelt with a hand-drawn sketch. Soon, Johnson & Johnson was commissioned to create the sturdy tape, and Stoudt remains the mother of duct tape.
Red tape was used to bind legal documents in England, which eventually gave birth to the expression “cutting through red tape.”
Long before packing tape as we know it was invented, the Romans and Greeks discovered materials that could be used as adhesives, including egg whites, bones, blood, milk, and hide. In China, they used cattle and fish derivatives.THE FIRST TAPE DISPENSER WITH A BUILT-IN BLADE WAS INVENTED IN 1932.
The amount of duct tape sold each year could stretch to the moon and back.
While China is the leading producer of tape globally, there is plenty of tape manufactured on the home front, too. Scotch tape by 3M is made in St. Paul, Minnesota.
915 billion meters of plastic packaging tape are used per year globally.
The demand for tape mounted with the increase of e-commerce sales. Think of all those boxes sealed with tape before being shipped to your door!

If the most common time you notice a torn hem is on Rosh Chodesh, this one is for you! Use tape for a great temporary hem.
Ironically, one way to get rid of stubborn tape residue is… with tape! Place heavy duty tape over sticky scum and rub for a few seconds. When you peel away the tape, the residue will peel off along with it. Masking tape works best.
Heavy duty tape on the bottom of chair or table legs can protect your floors from scratches.
Wires in the way? Secure cords to the floor or wall with a piece of tape. Electrical tape is preferred, but masking tape could work, too.
If you’re the crafty type, the uses for tape are endless. From window art to tape sculptures to handmade stencils, anything sticks!
Tape can turn a boring Sunday into a funday! Taped mazes on the floor make great races. Or delight your little ones with taped “roads” for their cars.
THE TERM “DUCT TAPE” WAS COINED IN THE 1950S, WHEN THE TAPE BECAME A POPULAR WAY TO WRAP AIR DUCTS.
