"I did a lot of research before I chose to work with Kosher Skinny Shots. I'm just so glad I made the right choice. Their support is just one-of-a-kind. And their proactive, positive approach? Next level.

You should know, I nearly stopped taking the shots now before the summer.. You know, coming up to the Catskills... the shots every week... But this new cream they have? It's a real game changer. It's only because of the cream that I'm sticking with the plan.

Anyway, I better stop talking before my ice cream melts completely..."

LASTING IMPRESSION

(Re: POV, Issue 293)

I really appreciate your POV column, and was especially touched by all the beautiful ways that fellow Yiddishe mammes make Rosh Chodesh special.

Many of us are familiar with the beautiful song “Yakob” by Reb Yom Tov Ehrlich. In this soulful song, he depicts the mesirus nefesh of a young bachur, Yakob, who was deported to a labor camp deep in Russia and found himself all alone among non-Jews. The Russian farmer he was working for offered him the ultimate escape from his endless misery: He could marry the farmer’s daughter and acquire a life of comfort and prosperity. Although the opportunity to achieve safety was tempting, Yakob recalled the Torah of his youth and resolved to stand firm. When Yakob realized that even if he refused to go ahead, they would force him to do so, he fled the farm alone and without resources, at great risk to his life.

Years ago, I read a fascinating interview in Maalos, where they interviewed “Yakob” (he was by then elderly). One of the questions was, “What gave you the strength at the time of the nisayon to be so brave and sure in your conviction?” In the song, Reb Yom Tov Ehrlich writes that he had a vision of his mother bentsching licht, but in the interview, Reb Yakov added something important. He said, “I got chizuk when I remembered my mother and the way she always had a special kugel prepared for Rosh Chodesh.” What a beautiful memory!

Readers may also appreciate this tidbit: The song was originally composed in honor of Reb Yakov’s wedding, and Reb Yom Tov Ehrlich sang it at the chasunah

Thank you for the inspiration.

CATSKILLS CORRECTION

(Re: Woodridge, Issue 293)

As a summer resident of a bungalow colony down the

for fifteen summers in the 1960s and 1970s, I’d like to make a correction. In the article it said that the Lakehouse Hotel was bought by frum owners in the 1980s, and was not very frum before then. If I remember correctly, the hotel was owned in the 60s and 70s by the Katz family, who were indeed frum. They were extremely makpid on kashrus and maintained separate swimming. The hotel during that time hosted quite a number of chashuve Yidden and rabbanim

Thank you,

MORE ABOUT WOODRIDGE

(Re: Woodridge, Issue 293)

Thank you for the many wonderful articles you print every week. Your recent piece, “The Farm of Eden,” was especially well written and well done.

Your piece about Woodridge was beautiful, but a very old, popular kosher hotel called The Kantrowitz Farm Hotel was omitted. Mr. Kantrowitz bought what was originally a big farm, which was located on Dairyland Road, in 1902. He called the hotel on the property The Kantrowitz House. Eventually, together with his children and son-inlaw, Mr. Jaffe, who was a partner, the hotel was renamed The Kantrowitz Farm Hotel. They ran this farm and hotel until the 1950s, and it was known as a kosher establishment that served the Orthodox community.

Mr. Jaffe was a yeshivah teacher in the Bronx, and in the summer, he came up with many yeshiva boys who worked at the hotel. The hotel was also privileged to host many rabbanim, including Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l, Rav Aharon Kotler, zt”l, the Novominsker Rebbe, zt”l, and Reb Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt”l, from Eretz Yisroel.

Mr. Kantrowitz also served as the shamash of the Woodridge Shul, Ohave Shalom, for many years.

NOT A NECESSITY

(Re: Not a Vacation, Inbox, Issue 292)

Dear M.T.,

If you find articles about summer vacations depressing, what do you feel like when you see all the ads for Pesach getaways or kevarim trips? What about ads for high-end jewelry, silver or clothing that doesn’t fit your budget? If these things make you feel bad, maybe you shouldn’t be reading magazines or newspapers.

For your information, I never went on vacation when my children were young. Even today, I still have never been to Florida or Switzerland (though I do dream of going one day). I always taught my children to dream big, and you should too! Maybe someday you’ll get the opportunity you want. But in the meantime, it shouldn’t hurt that you can’t go. Not going on vacation is normal, too. The idea that vacation is “necessary” is a mindset that only you are in control of. Aizehu ashir, hasameach b’chelko. Life is great with whatever I have and do. You can always look at what you don’t have, which will pull you down. Instead, look at what you do have and how lucky you are.

As an aside, you can find many free things to do that are exciting for yourself and your kids. I once took my family, borrowed scooters, and went over the Brooklyn Bridge and back. It’s been years, and my kids still talk about the thrill of that experience. It cost me the train fare to the bridge and back. A different time, I asked a neighbor who has a nice gated rooftop if I could use it overnight. I set up a disposable grill for supper, and then we camped out under the stars and watched sunrise in the morning. It was truly beautiful, and I felt like I was on a mountain top vacation. Use your imagination, and do things that make sense to you.

Good luck,

STAYING HOME HAPPY

M.F.

(Re: Not a Vacation, Inbox, Issue 292)

Dear Not on Vacation,

Reading your letter, it’s clear to see that you feel very deprived in your current situation. If there’s nothing that you can do to change it, I suggest that you work on reframing your state of mind just so you might enjoy your summer in the city. Reading an article about vacation doesn’t mean that you need to become depressed; you can enjoy the read and still make peace with your situation.

I agree with you that most people do end up going away, even just for one weekend. Personally, I’m staying home this summer, and I’m not feeling deprived at all. I think it’s ridiculous to spend $2,500 just for a weekend away.

We’re lucky that our children have such phenomenal summer programs in day camp. So really it’s just the weekends where you can use some extra creativity.

Here are some suggestions:

Kids love the local park. Take along a sprinkler if you can.

Enjoy lunch at the pizza store, or a visit to the ice cream store.

At any toy store, you can get bubbles, chalk, water balloons, balls, and

coloring or painting activities for just a few dollars. Buy some and enjoy!

Much luck,

Happily Staying Home

FAMILY TRIPS

(Re: Not a Vacation, Inbox, Issue 292)

Someone wrote a letter saying she can’t afford to go on vacation, and that she finds even day trip attractions too expensive.

I agree with her 100%. Family trips are very expensive, and it’s a little disheartening to read about trips that are way out of our league. When my children were young, we couldn’t afford trips at all. Attractions were (and continue to be) way too expensive and weren’t practical either. My husband couldn’t take off from work, so I ended up taking the kids to the park a lot. On some Sundays, we did go to some places that had a membership plan that turned out to be cost-effective. But there are other economical ideas to try.

One summer, my brother swapped houses with someone as a “free” getaway for two days, and went to some inexpensive attractions near their “vacation home.”

Another idea is to visit a different park every week, or even a local library.

Hatzlacha. I feel your pain.

THE UNVACATION

(Re: Not a Vacation, Inbox, Issue 292)

Many thanks to The Boro Park View for serving as a platform for our “views”!

It is not because I have extra time, but because I deeply feel for those “Not on Vacation,” that I take the time to write this response.

Like the letter-writer, I also haven’t gone on vacation in years. I also, baruch Hashem, have many small children, and I have to manage my husband’s and my own work schedules and our

financial limitations. But let me share how we still “go on vacation,” which I agree is so important.

The best things in life are within arm’s reach. The following trips are tried and tested, family-friendly, inexpensive, not too time-consuming, and they’re even accessible via public transportation.

Best time? Friday right after day camp. Make sure that Shabbos is totally done on Thursday, pack a lunch on Friday morning, set up the blech before you leave, and when you come back home, everyone showers and dresses for Shabbos.

I serve lunch at home before leaving, but you can also utilize the meal trip suggestions printed in The Boro Park View to take along! But my kids believe that if we don’t have to stop to eat, it doesn’t count as a “trip,” I pack applesauce pouches, snacks and a water bottle per child.

So, here we go:

• Owl’s Head Park — playground, hike

• Ferry ride as far as Far Rockaway, back and forth

• Ferry to Governors Island, surrey rental

• Marine Park — bike or rowboat rental

• Brooklyn Botanic Garden — Discovery Garden Prospect Park Zoo

• Prospect Park Paddle Boating

You need not even go this far, and need not schlep your children. Just once, take a babysitter for an hour or two, enjoy your favorite lunch with your someone special, and you’ll find yourself farginning others their vacations more easily.

Sincerely,

PLANTING TIPS

A Fellow Busy Mom

(Re: A Pot, a Plant and a Patch of Sun, Issue 292)

I loved your article on planting because I’m a huge fan of gardening and a big believer in plant therapy. The feeling I had the other day, sharing our first precious sugar snap peas with my sister, was indescribable.

After about ten summers of planting — trying, troubleshooting and sometimes succeeding — I would like to share my experience in the hope that it will be useful for new gardeners.

When planting in containers, it’s extremely important not to over-water your plants. It’s happened to me too many times that the soil became moldy from too much water. I learned to wait for the top layer of soil to be dry before watering. Another thing I learned the hard way is to properly protect your plant. I’ve soon a groundhog nibble on tiny new buds, and a deer has eaten my peppers! A chicken coop cage (see picture) worked to protect the plant from animals, but not from the neighborhood children (who once threw my pot down a flight of stairs). Now I hang the plant pot high up so they can’t reach it.

I think it’s best to plant seedlings indoors around May time. When I started planting only in July, my first little tomato became ripe just about when the weather became too cold to plant it outdoors. But if you buy started plants from

the nursery, planting it a bit later could still work.

So if you have an interest in gardening, go for it! It’s such a wholesome, organic experience and very satisfying. Thank you to The Boro Park View for continuing to be a source of inspiration in so many areas.

SIMPLE SUMMERS IN SWAN LAKE

(Re: Swan Lake, Issue 292)

In 1967, I spent the summer at a bungalow colony called Goldwasser in Swan Lake. It was a dream vacation for us kids. We went blueberry picking, had a day camp for a few hours each day, and went swimming — in a pool that had a rough bottom. Who cared? We just went to have fun and enjoy. Down the road we had Sunshine Bungalows and Wertman’s farm, where they grew fresh corn and other vegetables. We went once a week to pick our fresh vegetables for Shabbos.

The entire experience far surpassed the summer programs and all the entitlement that comes along with them, that children have these days. We were definitely happier then than kids are now.

SOMEPLACE SPECIAL IN SWAN LAKE

(Re: Swan Lake, Issue 292)

Thank you for a magazine covering very interesting topics every week. I was very excited to read about Swan Lake, as I’ve been a Swan Laker for over 20 years. The article, however, mentioned nothing about a colony that existed approximately 25 years ago.

The colony started as Vacationland, but soon changed its name to Torah Educational Center, also known as TEC, located on Cohen and Cohen Road. Today the colony is known as Nachlas Yaakov of Satmar. A historical white rock has been there since its inception and can be seen until today.

I’m sure many people would have liked to see something written about the place.

Thank you,

M.P.

CAN YOU SHARE A LAUNDRY HACK YOU FIND

USEFUL?

CLEVER LAUNDRY PRODUCTS

I use a detergent called Glisten from the brand Superio to wash the rubber and door of the washing machine to prevent mold and remove lint.

I attach a chargeable, wireless stroller fan to the rod of wet clothes to help them dry faster.

Woolzies dryer balls are a must for the summer static, and for bonus points, I add some oils to the balls for a wonderful scent.

Add vinegar to towel loads to remove musty smells.

I do laundry every day, so laundry is never on my to-do list.

I put in a load before I go to sleep on a timer so that the cycle finishes just before I wake up.

Living in a relatively small apartment, wet laundry used to drive me crazy, until my neighbor introduced me to the gamechanging idea of buying a dehumidifier. I bought one that is strong enough for a 2,000-square-foot room (even though our bathroom, where we hang wet laundry, is way smaller). We hang all of our wet laundry at night and have dry laundry by morning. The dehumidifier works in all weather, so humidity no longer affects my laundry schedule. I bought the Waykar 2000 SF dehumidifier, because it’s significantly smaller than other, similar machines. I love doing laundry now.

Windex is the best stain fighter for most stains, especially blood and mud. When it comes to bubbles and mud, wash first on a regular cold cycle without any detergent.

LAUNDRY SYSTEMS

Doing laundry once a week is the best thing. I work hard on that day, but then I don’t think of laundry for the rest of the week.

I use the Fels Naptha soap bar that can be purchased at Walmart or on Amazon for under $2. It is a good stain remover for white laundry and tzitzis.

Buy less; wash often.

The load from the dryer goes onto my bed. This way, I can’t go to sleep without folding it and putting it all away.

You’re serious about your BCBA Certification. TTI gives you the structure, support, and credentials to do it right and move forward.

I learned this fabulous laundry system from the Tischadesh Course, and it works great for large families. Sunday: darks and delicates; Monday: lights and whites; Tuesday: linens and towels (rotating rooms when washing linen); Wednesday: darks and delicates again; Thursday: lights and whites again; Friday: towels again. In order for this to run efficiently, laundry must be folded and put away the same day. I shop for clothing according to this system as well.

I get in as many loads as possible on Motzei Shabbos, and the rest I do on Sunday morning. Sunday I try to fold all the laundry, and on Monday, I do the ironing.

I put delicate items that need to be hand-washed inside a zippered pillow case so I can machine wash them without fear of damaging them.

ON SIMPLIFYING LIFE

First wash a load that goes into the dryer, and then alternate between hanging and drying loads. This way, your dryer will always be available at the right time.

When I’m feeling lazy, I put all the clothing from one day into a quick wash cycle, and use them again the next day. Saves folding, sorting and choosing.

The best laundry hack is to buy the little ones cheap clothing. Your little children’s clothing will get stained! When you spend a lot of money on clothing, doing laundry and removing stains become very stressful.

To achieve a perfectly ironed look for linen without working hard: When done washing, spread over your bed, and straighten with your hands. Fold when dry. You can also dry it for a few minutes before spreading it out on the bed to dry.

Put everything in the dryer for five minutes so the wrinkles come out, and then take out whatever you want to hang.

I hang wet laundry straight into the closet where they belong, though I spread them out a little.

A tip I’ve recently gotten from a friend turned out to work really well for me: If my dark or colored hamper is full enough for two loads, I divide them into one dryer load and one hanging load.

Minimize the stain removers you own so your laundry area stays organized.

I dry almost everything. It makes laundry so much neater and life so much easier. My mother is a great balabusta, and she taught me that my things don’t have to outlive me. A season or two is more than enough.

Be mindful when shopping for clothes. Avoid fabrics and textures that will give you agmas nefesh

For children close in age and/or size, I use a different color puff paint for each child so the laundry is easy to identify when folding and putting away. (It also helps me know who has to pick up the dirty laundry from the floor…).

My hampers are the colors of whatever laundry has to go inside them. This makes it easy even for toddlers to sort their dirty laundry. (Shirts and towels have another designated bin.)

ON PAIRING SOCKS

My kids fold their dirty socks, and when I do laundry, I put each pair into a sock ring. This decreases the chances of having lost and mismatched pairs of socks.

I like to buy twenty pairs of the same black socks, and never again do I notice a missing one.

I attach a mesh bag to the laundry hamper, where I put in all the kids’ colored socks.When I wash laundry, I just detach the bag and throw it in the machine. No more looking for matches! They’re all in the bag.

PARSHAS MATOS-MASEI

Tefillos From the Heart

Y. Levenstein

In Parshas Masei, the Torah discusses arei miklat, the cities of refuge where accidental killers were forced to seek refuge. They would remain there until the kohen gadol died.

Chazal say ( Makkos 11a) that the mother of the kohen gadol would bring food and clothes to the arei miklat to make sure the residents were comfortable and would not daven for her son to die.

This is hard to understand. Picture a person who, by no fault of his own, unfortunately caused a death. In an instant, his entire life changes. He must leave behind his home, family, job, shul and everything familiar, and begin from scratch in a new place. Then the kohen gadol’s mother arrives with cooked food. He might be grateful for the meals, but will he stop davening to go home just because he got some food? His whole life is a mess! He’s still desperate to leave. How do the kohen gadol’s mother’s meals help him?

Rabbi Binyomin Pruzansky shares the following story:

MENDY AND HIS TWIN BROTHER are musicians in Tzfas who often play together. Their instruments blend in perfect harmony, creating a sweet and lively symphony.

One day in Tishrei, Mendy was approached with an offer. A producer wanted him and his brother to play together at a large event. It was to be a worthwhile, well-paid job — too good to pass up.

“Do you have a filmed recording of the two of you performing live?” the agent asked. “The producer heard great things about you, but he would want to see a sample before booking.”

Mendy did not have any, and since it was Yomim Tovim time, there were no chasunahs or events coming up on his calendar that he would be able to record.

Just as he was leaving shul, he noticed an invitation hanging on the wall. A friend of his was making bar mitzvah that week. Great! Mendy thought to himself as he dialed his friend’s number. Perhaps he could play there.

“Have you booked a musician for your bar mitzvah?” Mendy asked.

When his friend replied in the negative, Mendy made his offer: He and his brother would be happy to play at the simcha free of charge. This way, the twin brothers could get a live recording, which would hopefully earn them the coveted job.

It was silent on the other end.

“Hello? Are you there?” Mendy asked.

It took a moment for the bar mitzvah boy’s father to reply. He was just getting over his shock.

When his friend replied in the negative, Mendy made his offer: He and his brother would be happy to play at the simcha free of charge

“I almost felt sorry for him, since I didn’t see a way it could work out for him”

“Do you mean you’re willing to perform for free? Are you sure?! I can’t believe this!”

The man proceeded to tell his story. “You see, for the last few months, my son has been begging for a live band at his bar mitzvah, but with our budget the way it is, there’s simply no way we could afford professional music. We took a cheap hall for the simcha, and my wife is cooking the meal on her own…

“My son was devastated when we told him no, and he kept dreaming and asking about it. A few weeks ago, he told my wife that if we couldn’t book a band, he would ask Hashem directly. He’s been going every day to kivrei tzaddikim here in Tzfas to daven. I almost felt sorry for him, since I didn’t see a way it could work out for him, and I didn’t want him to be disappointed…

“But now — you’re telling me that you’re ready to bring a band to his bar mitzvah for free?! It’s unbelievable! A pure miracle! Hashem has indeed listened to his tefillos!”

The bar mitzvah was beautiful, and the music certainly uplifted the atmosphere. Mendy and his twin brother got the job they wanted, and the bar mitzvah boy and his family got a live demonstration of what it means to have a Father-son relationship with Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

* * * * *

We know that a tefillah from the depths of one’s heart is always accepted. Yet we don’t always see the response to our prayers.

Imagine someone who’s tight on money. He has to pay the mortgage, and he has no idea how to cover it. He davens fervently and waits for his miracle. But nobody approaches him to pay up old debts, and nobody comes over with a donation. The money does not miraculously arrive in his account.

If he prayed with the knowledge that the outcome was 100% dependent on this tefillah, it would surely be accepted. When someone davens while continuing to rely on his hishtadlus, thinking of solutions and envisioning where his salvation may come from, his tefillah is not guaranteed to bring success. Only a tefillah recited from the depths of the heart by one who is completely dependent on Hakadosh Baruch Hu is assured to bring the yeshuah one needs.

The kohen gadol’s mother knew this secret. She knew that if a man sitting in the ir miklat would daven with the knowledge that only Hashem could help him get out, his tefillos would surely be accepted, jeopardizing her son’s life. She brought food so he would begin to feel less alone. With this feeling, his tefillah would not emanate from the same deep place of recognition that only Hashem could help him. A tefillah that comes with 100% dependency on Hakadosh Baruch is guaranteed not to return unanswered.

It’s Official: Despite Embarrassing Primary Loss, Cuomo Continues Mayoral Bid

Trying to rebrand himself as a regular New Yorker, former governor Andrew Cuomo released a video this week announcing that he was laser-focused on the mayoral race while running as an Independent, and that he was “in it to win it.”

The official announcement came in a one-minute, thirtythree-second-long video that showed a smiling Cuomo shaking hands with New Yorkers, wandering through the city, and posing for selfies with residents of the five boroughs.

Cuomo acknowledged his shocking loss to Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in June, saying, “Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that the Democratic primary did not go the way I had hoped.” And in a rare admission of guilt, the former governor apologized for letting his supporters down, vowing to learn from past mistakes and “get in the game.”

Touting his years of political experience, Cuomo slammed Mamdani for having “slick slogans but no real solutions,” expressing his commitment to hitting the streets daily to discuss problems and solutions with residents of the five boroughs, in an effort to earn their vote.

Despite the tenor of Cuomo’s video, he isn’t the only candidate facing off against Mamdani in November. Cuomo called on Mayor Eric Adams to drop his re-election bid, leading the mayor to slam the former governor for splitting the Independent vote, and likely handing a win to Mamdani, in order to satisfy his own ego.

Cuomo had previously said that if he isn’t the leading candidate to oppose Mamdani in September, he will drop out of the race.

While Cuomo and Adams have been taking potshots at each other in the hopes of garnering votes,

Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa says that he has been using his time far more effectively.

“While they play musical chairs on a sinking ship, I’m out campaigning in NYC, listening, leading and fighting to win it for the people,” said Sliwa.

Local Schoolyard Becomes Kiddie Playground Under New City Program

Boro Parkers who live near 10th Avenue and 52nd Street have a new place to frolic this summer, with the city opening a local schoolyard for after-school play.

Mayor Eric Adams announced last week that the yard at P.S. 160, the William T. Sampson School, located at 1057 52nd Street, was among eleven new sites being added to his Schoolyards to Playgrounds program. The program gives city residents the ability to play at designated schoolyards any time school isn’t in session — during the summer, on weekends and when school is done for the day.

Adams’ latest budget allocated $770,000 to the newly added sites, putting a green space within a ten-minute walk for an additional 20,000 New Yorkers.

“New York City is the greatest city in the world to be a kid, and today, we’re going to make it even better by making it easier for our kids to play close to home,” said Adams.

The mayor noted that the city’s public schools have wonderful playgrounds, spaces that should be available for communal use, especially in neighborhoods that have few parks. All 313 schoolyards that are part of the program are currently open from 8 a.m. until dusk.

“We have to keep our city a place where everyone can raise a family, and this announcement is another way we’re supporting families across the five boroughs,” noted Adams.

Other local schools that are already part of the program include P.S. 192, the Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry, at 4715 18th Avenue; P.S. 048, the Mapleton School at 6015 18th Avenue; P.S. 164, the Caesar Rodney School at 4211 14th Avenue; and I.S. 187, the Christa McAuliffe School at 1171 65th Street.

Lawler Bill to Extend Expedited Passport Processing

A bill introduced in Washington last week by Congressman Mike Lawler would extend the federal government’s expedited hiring process for passport specialists, to help travelers avoid the lengthy waits that were prevalent several years ago.

The Department of State enacted a measure in 2023 that fast-tracked hires for a period of three years to cut through a massive COVID-related backlog in passport processing. With that act due to expire in 2026, Lawler presented the Cutting Passport Backlog Act to extend the special protocol for another two years, ensuring that travelers receive their critical documents in a timely fashion.

As previously reported in The Boro Park View, the waiting period for passport processing had been as long as several months at one point, creating massive headaches for travelers, with thousands of Lawler’s constituents reaching out to his office for help. Both the Government Accountability Office and the State Department have identified the streamlined hiring process as a key factor in alleviating the situation.

blyman has been working on a proposal that would eliminate all tolls during the nighttime hours.

Introduced at the end of the last legislative session by upstate Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, the proposal would allow E-ZPass customers free use of the Thruway between 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The Toll-Free Overnight Hours Pilot Program would run for a period of two years and would encourage offpeak travel, which would, in turn, lessen congestion during daytime hours.

“Americans often travel abroad to see their family, go to school, or for countless other reasons,” said Lawler, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa. “That is why a streamlined passport process is essential. I’m proud to lead efforts that support effective government operations and enhance the quality of federal services delivered to all Americans.”

The Cutting Passport Backlog Act has been submitted to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for consideration.

Toll-Free Nights May Be Coming to the Thruway

Hoping to reduce traffic on the New York State Thruway while also lowering costs for drivers, a New York State assem-

“This is about creating opportunities for smarter travel patterns,” said Santabarbara, whose district includes parts of Montgomery and Schenectady counties, located north and west of Albany. “This pilot program supports workers and businesses while improving how we use our roads. It’s a simple common-sense way to help New Yorkers save time and money.”

While the bill didn’t gain enough traction in the previous Assembly session, Santabarbara could reintroduce it next year, when the Albany legislative session begins once again in January. In addition to saving drivers money and decreasing wear and tear on the Thruway because of changed usage patterns, the program would collect data on traffic patterns, toll revenue and public opinion, all of which would be shared with the state legislature and the governor within 90 days of its conclusion.

Santabarbara noted that other states are already using congestion-reduction measures successfully. Both Virginia and Florida offer drivers with E-ZPass the option of paying more to drive on dedicated express lanes, with Florida also suspending all tolling during emergency evacuations.

Sweet Talk: Coke to Make Switch to Sugar, Says Trump

Coke drinkers may soon notice a change in their favorite beverage, with word breaking that the company is amenable to the idea of using sugar in its top-secret formula, instead of high-fructose corn syrup.

The announcement of the sweetener swap came from President Donald Trump on July 16.

“I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do

so,” wrote the president. “I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them. You’ll see. It’s just better!”

The conversation between Trump and the president appears to be part of his Make America Healthy Again, which has been pushing for Americans to eat healthier and phase out the use of synthetic food dyes and high-fructose corn syrup. A spokesperson for Coca-Cola would not confirm Trump’s announcement, saying only in a statement, “We appreciate President Trump’s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon.”

The president is known to be a huge Coke fan and is said to have a dedicated Diet Coke button on his desk in the Oval Office, although his beverage of choice would not be affected by any possible change from corn syrup to sugar.

For those who use it, kosher l’Pesach Coke has long been said to taste better than the year-round product, with the company doing a special run of sugar-based Coke for Pesach. And while Coca-Cola began using high-fructose corn syrup in its American products in the late seventies and early eighties because of rising sugar prices, the Coke sold in Mexico and multiple other countries remains sugar-based.

Stamp Prices Increase, Again

Once again, the cost of a first-class stamp has gone up.

And once again, the United States Postal Service is insisting that its prices are among the most affordable in the world.

The Hill reported that the price of a first-class stamp rose from 73 cents to 78 cents on July 13, a 7.4% hike. Postcard prices have gone from 56 to 61 cents, while the cost of mailing an international letter rose from $1.65 to $1.70. According to the USPS, the increase was needed to achieve financial stability.

Forever stamps, which sell at current prices but remain usable even after increases, cost just 45 cents in 2012. Their cost has risen every year since then, except in 2015 and 2020, that minor gain offset by USPS price jumps in 2023 and in 2024. With the agency proposing raising stamp prices five times over the next three years, postal customers may be seeing increases every January and July from now through 2027.

The USPS has said that those higher prices are required so that it can meet its legal obligation to be “financially self-sufficient.”

CHANIE SPIRA

Kaily discovers the gown Perela bought her and that the diamond necklace purchased by her mother was intended for her, not Bina.

made so many resolutions on her trip, and so far, not a single one was panning out the way she’d planned.

THIRTY-NINE

Perela pressed ignore with a cruel sense of delight.

“Who keeps calling you?” Eli asked from the corner of the hospital room where he’d set up shop. The latest sefer he was working on was almost at the finish line. “When did you become such an important person who gets so many phone calls?”

“Why? You can’t handle the thought that your little sister is so important?” Perela whispered, only half-joking. Her mother was dozing again, but every time she woke up, she was a bit more alert than the time before. And for that, Perela was grateful.

About the fact that her mother only asked about Kaily… well, she was less happy about that. It made her feel like she didn’t matter to her own mother.

Her phone buzzed with an incoming text. Tziri: When you finish hugging your kids, call me.

Never. She never planned on finishing hugging her kids. Did that mean that she would never work at Prance again? She wasn’t sure how she felt about that.

And how could she hug her kids if she was in the hospital, anyway? When she’d dropped off Yanky this morning again, his resigned, sad eyes broke her heart more than his wails and screams. It was almost as if he’d given up on her.

She longed to go home and start fixing things. She’d

Another text notification pinged. I need help clearing the winter stock to make room for the new arrivals

This time Perela replied. My mother is in the hospital again. I’ll be in touch next week when things settle down.

When would things settle down?

Kaily was supposed to be here really soon so she could be home on time.

Just thinking of her sister made her feel bad. Another resolution gone sour. And she wasn’t even home for 24 hours.

The door opened.

“Hi!” Yiddy boomed. His voice was too loud, too rough, too cheerful.

“Yiddy?” Eli turned to him. “I thought Kaily’s coming now.”

“Just popping in. I’m on my way to a job site upstate. And also…”

“Shh…” Perela admonished him. “You’re waking Mommy!”

He didn’t seem to hear her. “And also, I came to drop something off. A VIP client of mine sent this over.” He winked to Eli, who raised an eyebrow. Was there a joke she didn’t get? “Let’s show it to Ma! I think she knows this guy!”

Yiddy had successfully roused her mother. He placed the chocolate platter on Roiza’s bed with a flourish.

“From Mordechai Newman,” he announced.

Her mother’s mouth dropped open. Her eyes suddenly filled with understanding and focus.

“Mordechai… That’s his name,” she said in a voice filled

DR. FINKEL SKIPPED VACATION.

PERELA’S FACE SWIVELED BETWEEN HER SIBLINGS. HER EYE CAUGHT MOVEMENT NEXT TO THE CURTAIN. KAILY STOOD THERE, HER FACE RED, THEN WHITE

with wonder. “I’ve been trying to remember all day.”

Her fingers and lips trembled uncontrollably, but there was a smile on her face.

“She… liked him,” her mother murmured. “And… also the… necklace.”

“Who is Mordechai Newman?” Perela asked.

“Ma, should I read the card?” Yiddy asked, his eyes gleaming.

“Nu? What’s this stupid mystery?” Perela whined. “Who is this guy?”

Instead of answering, Yiddy started reading the card aloud. “My sincerest wishes for a refuah sheleimah Please convey my deep sympathy to your sister and your mother. Mordechai Newman.”

By sister, Perela was sure, he definitely didn’t mean her

Perela’s face swiveled between her siblings. Her eye caught movement next to the curtain. Kaily stood there, her face red, then white.

“Kaily, maybe you know who this mysterious Mordechai Newman is?”

Kaily brushed past her, and stopped.

“Yiddy!” Kaily found her voice. “What in the world? Give me that card!”

He waved it in the air. Kaily tried to snatch it.

“Ma! Tell him to stop!” Kaily yelled like a wounded little girl.

Her mother chuckled.

“It’s my card,” Kaily sputtered.

“Oh, yeah?” Yiddy said wickedly. “It was delivered to my office. And he’s my client. And I met him.”

“And I made at least fifty phone calls about him,” Eli piped up.

“And I found him,” her mother’s feeble voice rose above all.

They all became quiet.

“Ma?!” Kaily’s voice was hoarse with disbelief. She stared at her brothers. “Did everyone know?”

Not me. I knew nothing. I’m just the little spoiled sister.

Her mother took the lead. Haltingly, stuttering, the story came out.

How she hijacked a client into meeting her. How her brothers and Mira had worked the phones to get this shidduch going.

Kaily’s face changed colors. Perela listened with mounting hurt and amusement. They all knew, all worked together, and no one had thought to tell her, not even her own mother.

“I thought I had you all fooled,” Kaily said.

Perela couldn’t be there anymore. It was too much to process.

“Eli,” she said. “We have to leave. There are enough people here to take over.”

“Not so fast, Perela,” Kaily said, dazed. She drew a deep breath, but it didn’t help, and she started to cry. “All of this is… incredible. I… I… didn’t even know any of you...” She stopped, taking another deep breath. “Even though this shidduch is apparently not bashert... thank you.” Kaily’s wet eyes swept over her siblings, and she met Perela’s gaze.

“Perela,” she whispered, her voice thick. “Perela, the gown… It’s… I have no words.” She enveloped her in an awkward hug. “Thank you,” Kaily spoke into her shoulder. “You’re the best sister anyone could wish for.”

* * * * *

Roiza watched her daughters embrace each other tearfully. She wasn’t sure what it was all about, but it was a wonderful sight.

She had the most beautiful family, and she’d hurt them by carelessly falling down.

Finally, her boys and Perela left amidst more hugs, kisses and banter. She was a lucky woman. Her kids were selfless and kind and so, so devoted. How had she allowed herself to fall and ruin all their selfless work?

“Ma?” She watched Kaily come close. “Ma. I… can’t believe what you all did for me.”

She drew out the necklace that had been tucked in her collar.

A CHASAN NEEDS SPACE, HE NEEDS ATTENTION... IT’S NOT LIKE HE HAS ANYONE ELSE THERE, AND YOU’RE GOING TO BE SO BUSY WITH BABI…”

“Thank you. Tt’s… beautiful.” She fingered the diamonds reverently.

“I…I… wanted t…to surprise you before your shidduch,” Roiza said, desperate to be understood. “And… it was too far back. And I fell.”

Kaily grasped her aching hands. “Oy, Ma…”

“I’m sorry…” Roiza said with effort. “I… ruined it for you. For all of us.”

Kaily picked up her head sharply. “Chas v’shalom, Mommy. It obviously wasn’t bashert.”

“We’ll see about that,” Roiza said, without stuttering.

* * * * *

Matbucha, Meah Shaarim nut mix, and Honeycombs cereal. Kaily’s cart looked like it was bein hazmanim, filled with Sruly’s favorite junk food. If Bina would only know she could skip all the four-course meals and get away with rye and matbucha…

Kaily chuckled to herself, trying to imagine Sruly delicately eating with a fork and knife next to his wife.

For additional nutrition, she turned into the chocolate aisle. Maybe spoiling her baby was all she needed to quiet her raging emotions?

She had to offer Sruly something His invitation list wasn’t done, his kallah’s Chanukah gift lay unwrapped, and Chanukah was less than a week away. As of this morning, the doctors said that her mother was tentatively scheduled for discharge tomorrow, Erev Shabbos.

That meant that the shortest Friday of the year would be even crazier. Sruly wouldn’t have much privacy with the new slew of physical therapists who would start making their appearance at home again. Kaily added a bag of clementines for an oneg consisting of one lonely bachur

eight dollars a container and then put it back. Mordechai Newman’s chocolate platter would last them for another couple of weeks. On second thought, she should buy it. She didn’t want to be reminded of his existence every time she reached for a chocolate.

A picture of the ruined chocolate platter sent by Mira rose in her mind. A bittersweet gift. She still mourned the Mira she lost on that day. Kaily wandered into the bakery aisle, still lost in her thoughts. Then her phone rang.

Chaim. She’d spoken to him last night and updated him on her mother’s condition. He was so sweet, but so, so far. When had she last seen her grandchildren? They’d visited Sukkos and would probably pop in over Chanukah, and then she would see them at the wedding.

She shouldn’t complain.

“Chaim, what’s up? How’s Malky doing, and the kids?” Kaily asked.

“Good, good, baruch Hashem. How’s Babi, better?”

“Much. Every day makes a huge difference. She even took a few steps this morning. She’s being discharged tomorrow.”

“Aha. Back home… I imagine.” His voice trailed off with an unsaid but

“Chaim, what’s the matter?”

Chaim sighed. “Ma, don’t take it the wrong way.”

Nah. I won’t.

“I just spoke to Sruly, and he… he’s not excited about going home. It’s not even home. A chasan needs space, he needs attention... It’s not like he has anyone else there, and you’re going to be so busy with Babi…”

Kaily stared at her wagon, full of items for her baby who didn’t want to come home.

“I was thinking…” Chaim continued. “Maybe he should come stay with us?”

COMING TO LIFE THE CATSKILLS

MONTICELLO SWAN LAKE WOODRIDGE

SOUTH FALLSBURG WOODBOURNE

CATSKILLS EXPLORINGTHE

WEEK 4

SOUTH FALLSBURG

Many towns in the Catskills follow the same pattern: Two months of frenetic activity, with thousands of happy families converging on the little towns in July and August, creating New York style traffic jams on the country roads. Then… ten months of quiet where the country really is the country, and you’re more likely to hear bird calls than ice cream trucks.

That’s true for much of the Catskills, except for South Fallsburg.

The pride and joy of South Fallsburg has always been its yeshivah, and it’s been stationed here since 1969. It was originally opened as a cheder in the Bronx by Reb Yerucham Gorelick, who had been a talmid in the Radin yeshivah. In 1969, the yeshivah moved to South Fallsburg and was named Yeshiva Zichron Moshe, after a talmid who had served in the U.S. Navy and was killed in action. The yeshiva sits at the site of the former Laurel Park Hotel, one of the old grand hotels of the Borscht Belt. The yeshiva has a few hundred talmidim, and there are about a hundred families living there all year round.

Faigy, a South Fallsburg resident, says that growing up in South Fallsburg is “like living in a little shtetl. We have our own grocery, Yagdil. In the early years, the grocery would only be open for a few hours bein hasedarim. You could only get fresh bread on the few

days that it would be brought in, and fresh milk also had its specific day that it was delivered.”

Today’s South Fallsburg yeshiva families benefit from the influx of year-round heimishe families living in the Catskills, as well as the growing number of stores that are open all year round to serve the “Shabbos community.”

CATSKILLS EXPLORINGTHE

King of Catskillsthe

South Fallsburg is officially classified as a hamlet, part of the greater town of Fallsburg. It was once crowned “King of the Catskills,” having perhaps more Jewish hotels and bungalow colonies than any other area in the mountains. The Nemerson hotel became the La Vista Hotel (do you also have that jingle from old Jewish radio stuck in your head? La-la-la Vista, La-la-la Vista, La-la-la Vista Country Hotel!), which is now Viznitz Girls Camp. The Raleigh (originally named The Ratner) was one of the biggest and longest-running Borscht Belt hotels, and is now the HCS Resort. The Windsor was first sold and converted into a hippie-style retreat, and is now Machne Beis Ruchel (or Mem Beis Reish, as it’s fondly known).

Some of the most well known bungalow colonies have been around for close to a hundred years. Cutler’s, Skopp’s, Elm Shade — the old bungalows that once hosted card games and Yiddish poetry readings have now been transformed to summer havens where frum life is thriving.

The story of Schenk’s Hotel in South Fallsburg is

the quintessential Jewish American immigrant story. In 1911, sixteen-year-old Bracha arrived at Ellis Island from Minsk. She earned $5 a week sewing clothes in a sweatshop, and by scrimping and saving, she earned enough to bring over her brother and sister. In the 1940s, after marrying Jacob Schenk, the couple finally reached the pinnacle of the American Dream: They opened Schenk’s Hotel in South Fallsburg. By the 1960s, they were proudly able to boast of a hotel that had room for 700 guests, and whose rooms were air-conditioned and featured “wall-to-wall carpeting, private phones, tiled baths and the latest in contemporary furnishings.” A small line at the bottom of their glossy brochure noted “Dietary laws observed” as the only indication that it was a “Jewish” hotel.

CATSKILLS EXPLORINGTHE

Old-time Borscht Belters wring their hands over the death of the old Catskills. But although their own children are not interested in the Catskills of old, for the frum community, the Catskills have been revitalized, and every year sees more growth. Can you guess what happened to Schenk’s Paramount Hotel? It is now Camp Shalva, the iconic Bobov camp for boys.

Today’s Scene

South Fallsburg boasts what is probably the oldest shul in the Catskills: South Fallsburg Hebrew Association Synagogue. The shul has been at the same location, on 26 Lake Street, since 1902. It’s a Modern Orthodox shul, and in the heyday of the Borscht Belt, had hundreds of mispallelim. Its architectural style was influenced by the Jewish immigrants’ nostalgia for the shuls back home in the shtetl. After a few years, another floor was added to accommodate the congregants’ desire for a talmud Torah. Like much of American Jewry at the time, the residents of South Fallsburg sent their children to the local public schools, and in the afternoons, they went to talmud Torah for their Yiddishe chinuch.

Walking down the main street of South Fallsburg gives you a taste of what small-town living in America used to look like. The street is lined in wood-framed or brick storefronts, with some of them catering to the newer Hispanic immigrant community. But come

summer, the street is transformed into a bustling, heimish thoroughfare.

Murray’s Kosher Sox is an old South Fallsburg fixture, where you can find practically everything that’s not food. Main Street Pizza has been serving delicious slices for years, and right next door you can hop into Flavors for yummy ice cream. Gombo’s Bakery and a Satmar Butcher round out the kosher offerings, and further up Main Street you can find the Catskills’ own Amazing Savings. Landau’s Supermarket was one of the first full-service supermarkets in the Catskills. It now hosts Boosur takeout, after Boosur’s first premises were damaged in a fire. You can also browse to your heart’s content at Ma’agel Books and Seforim for the latest books, and ABC Toys is a fun spot for kids, featuring not just the latest toys but lots of fun things for kids to do.

Morningside Park is a beautiful park nearby that boasts a full-size, gorgeous lake. (If one is inclined to quibble, the lake is not technically located in South Fallsburg, with alternate locations given as Fallsburg or Hurleyville. Nevertheless, it’s just a few minutes from the center of town.) The stunning lake has hosted hundreds of camp outings, with both rowboats and paddleboats available for excursions. Many a camper can attest to the sheer terror of city kids being warned to come back quickly as the clouds gathered, or they would be struck by lightning! (And then rowing around in panic-stricken circles because they were too terrified to think straight!) The playgrounds are well taken care of and are the ideal spot for a summer picnic with the kids.

The first thing that comes to mind when merging clothes with the summer is GRASS STAINS. The good news is that you can get them out with just a short trip to your pantry. These methods are good for cotton, poly and synthetic blends. After applying your method of choice, put the garment in for a regular wash.

You can pour a small amount of LIQUID DETERGENT directly onto the grass stain and gently rub it in. Allow to sit for five to ten minutes. Then put the garment in for a regular cold cycle.

Alternatively, you can mix one part WHITE VINEGAR with two parts WATER, and apply the solution to the stained fabric. Allow to sit for ten to fifteen minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Moving further into your pantry, you can use a cotton ball to dab RUBBING ALCOHOL directly onto the grass stain. Allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly in cold water.

Finally, you can mix equal parts HYDROGEN PEROXIDE and DISH SOAP, using a cloth or sponge to apply the mixture to the grass stain, and let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

PRO TIP:

Stains are mightiest when they’re set in the garment. Once the day’s fun has been had, grab your kids’ filthy clothes and soak them in cold water to prevent the stains from getting too homey. Pretreat with stain remover when you’re ready to put in a load.

Clean Those WHITE TIGHTS Clean Those

SHIRTS

The minutiae of shirt-cleaning methods can fill an article all its own, which is why I’ll share just one delightful hack that I’ve clipped from the POV column in these very pages. A special thank you to the reader who shared this — you liberated me!

This is sourced from the Brachsoni shirting company, so you know it’s as good as it gets. Put half to one cup each of Oxi powder and Cascade dishwashing powder into the washing machine drum, add your regular detergent to the washer, and run a warm load.

When I was a kid, I would constantly badger my mother to let me walk around shoeless on Shabbos like so-and-so’s kids. Her answer? “I’m not the one scrubbing their tights afterward!”

The joke’s on me now, with my white-clad princesses tossing their dirty tights in the hamper. Here, I bring you a handful of options geared to getting those pairs of hose back to their snowy-whiteness by utilizing the power of the soak. The clincher? You can put the tights in their bath and head out to your lawn chair while they bubble in your whitener of choice! Summer isn’t the time to stand indoors scrubbing.

Hop back to your pantry for some BAKING SODA You might consider adding a big box to your laundry room, by the way, because baking soda wins at whitening clothes. You can go easy or go individual with the soda: Add a half cup to your wash cycle along with regular detergent for a general, good wash, or make a paste using one tablespoon baking soda and one tablespoon water for a more targeted approach. Spread the paste on the stains, let sit for an hour, and then wash.

COTTON TIGHTS can withstand a warm soak in a sinkful of water plus a liberal sprinkling of baking soda. Wring the tights after several hours, and wash in the machine along with about a half cup of baking soda added to the detergent drawer.

Another option is HYDROGEN PEROXIDE , the friendlier version of bleach. Add a half cup to your detergent dispenser with your usual detergent.

You can also harness the might of the LEMON, our garden-grown bleach. Drop your tired, your gray, your huddled white masses of tights into a bucket of water mixed with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon. Soak for two to three hours, and then pop the tights into the machine for a regular wash.

Clean That KITCHEN FLOOR

AROUND THE HOUSE

Come summer, kitchens turn into a thoroughfare between the great outdoors and the source of snacks and refreshments. With the endless array of freeze pops and fruit traveling the lanes, we need a fighting chance against that one row of drips that spells disaster for an entire clean floor.

A SPRAY MOP is your roadside savior. Use it to spot-clean when needed; you’ll find it super handy. Also, be practical and stock extra mop pads, because I’m pretty sure you’ll need them.

For a more involved mopping using a natural ingredient that leaves no scum, try WHITE VINEGAR. Add a half cup of white vinegar per gallon of hot water in your washing bucket. Add five to ten drops of your favorite ESSENTIAL OIL for a better scent.

First, stop regretting that you got light-colored shoes. This is a summer conundrum that we want, because we love being surrounded by the lights and whites of the season, and besides, here are some tips to manage the stains:

You can exult once again that you stock WHITE MIRACLES SPONGES because they rid white soles of tons of grime. Just wet, squeeze and scrub the black away.

You can also mix equal parts BAKING SODA and WATER to clean white and light shoes.

You can even use WHITE TOOTHPASTE , scrubbed onto the sneaker with a brush and wiped away with a damp cloth.

Shoes made of CANVAS, NYLON, COTTON or POLYESTER can be thrown into the washing machine. Just remove all insoles and inserts, pre-treat stains, and wash the sneakers in a pillowcase or laundry bag.

PRO TIP:

Before applying any solution to make your shoes white again, wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove pieces of dirt, and then proceed with your method of choice.

Clean Those

WALLS

AROUND THE HOUSE

Because if we’re already wiping the freeze pops and fruit from the floors, why not spritz up the walls while we’re at it?

Walls can also benefit from the above eco-friendly kitchen staples. Start gently, and work your way up according to the severity of the stain. First try a damp cloth with MILD SOAP, or a BAKING SODA PASTE . Use RUBBING ALCOHOL if the stain persists, and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE for really stubborn stains. CHLORINE BLEACH is a powerful option for diehard stains on white walls.

You can also create a cleaning solution in a spray bottle using equal parts of WHITE VINEGAR and WATER. Spray the solution on the stains, allow to sit for a few minutes, and wipe with a cloth.

PRO TIP: Clean Those SHOES

Go soft on any painted surface, because you want the stain off but not the paint. No abrasive scrubbing; stick to gentle rubs.

In time for the frantic washing that takes place before the Nine Days, I went on a little spin to hear about the sneaky household appliance known for its uncanny ability to devour single socks, transform garments into gray speckled messes, and produce deafening or rhythmic thumps, all while claiming to clean your clothes.

Front-loader? Top-loader? Brand? Overall performance? Replacement and repair experience?

Tumble into the machines of ten balabustas to hear what they have to say about their machines.

ROIZY BAUM

BRUCHY (4 kids, age 3–10)

I have a GE front-loader, and I love it.

When I called around to different appliance retailers before this purchase, they all said that LG is the top seller, with GE ranking just behind. But then I did my own research. I asked people who actually own the LG, and I heard many complaints. In contrast, I didn’t hear a single one about GE. That’s when I realized it’s a classic case of sheep following sheep. People are buying LG simply because everybody else is.

The GE, in my opinion, is loaded with great features. One of my favorites is the Smart Dispense system. I don’t have to pour detergent for every load; I fill the tank once, and it automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each wash. It keeps the machine much cleaner too — no soapy gunk to clean out of the drawer. It lets me know when the tank is low (which doesn’t happen too quickly) so I could refill it.

ESTY (9 kids, ages 2–20)

I have an LG front-loader. I really, really don’t like it. It’s supposed to be a good machine, so I guess I just ended up with a lemon. It doesn’t manage getting stains out and it leaves clothes very wrinkled. And no matter what I try, I can’t get rid of that lingering moldy smell inside the machine.

It also features a venting system, which is a game-changer. You don’t need to keep the door open to air out the machine — a huge plus in smaller spaces like my Brooklyn home. Whenever the machine door is opened and closed, the machine automatically turns on the vent. It’s also super helpful when you can’t take out a finished load right away. You can turn on the vent, and the clothes won’t get that musty smell even if they sit for a few hours before being hung or dried.

Another big plus: The rubber has antimicrobial properties, so it never gets moldy or smelly. That’s been one of the biggest complaints I’ve heard about LG. I’ve had my GE for a while now and never had that issue. I’ve spoken to others who have had this machine for years, and the rubber technology really works. It’s amazing.

My machine also has an “Extra Water” button, plus a wash-and-dry option. For loads that are all dryer-safe, you don’t even need to transfer the clothes. It goes straight from washing to drying right, no help needed. (Not that I’ve used it yet — there’s always one or two items I don’t want going into the dryer — but I should try it someday.)

It also features sanitizer, allergen and steam cycles — all of which I haven’t tried yet either, but it’s nice to know they’re there!

CHAYA

(7 kids, ages 2–13)

I have an LG front-loader. First I wondered why it doesn’t have a dedicated spot in the drawer for the Tide Pods I use, but then I found out they’re supposed to go directly into the drum, under the clothes. I’m not sure why I’m still using them, because more often than not, they leave a glue-like residue that sticks to the clothing. But what don’t we do for convenience?

I find that my machine doesn’t use much water, which is a disadvantage for me. My old Electrolux washing machine — which I left behind in Williamsburg when we moved to Monsey — felt sturdier and definitely used a good amount of water.

One feature I do like is the quick cycle. It runs for about thirteen minutes for smaller loads, which is super helpful. Here’s a helpful piece of information about those stubborn gray stains that show up on summer clothing and never come out: They usually come from bubble solution or hair mousse.

I once heard that if you prewash the stained clothing with plain water with no detergent, you can avoid setting the stain. Apparently, the stains become visible when detergent hits it first, and that’s how your nicest (and newest — always the new ones!) tops get ruined.

ESTHER (4 kids, ages 2–10)

I have a Whirlpool top-loader, and it’s still going strong since the early 2010s.

Am I happy with it? I mean, I’m happy when I eat sushi, not with any particular brand of washing machine.

It does offer a soak option (you press the dial in to start soaking, pull it out to stop). Honestly, it works pretty well, considering how many years, houses and repairs it’s survived.

One thing, though: Clothes often come out stained. I blame Monsey’s hard water for that, but the true culprit may forever remain a mystery.

LEAH (5 kids, ages 5–18)

I have a Maytag front-loader. It’s my right hand during Pesach, Sukkos and after the Nine Days. I’ve had to repair it a few times, but the service was excellent. My only complaint would be that the rubber seal and detergent drawer get moldy quickly. My favorite feature is the eight-hour delay start — load it at night so it’s done first thing in the morning. A total game-changer!

IDY (8 kids, ages 2–15)

I went from a Maytag top-loader to an LG frontloader and love them both. If you’re asking me to compare, the front-loader holds more and fits larger items, though the rubber needs to be maintained. I also find that the machine must be aired out to prevent mold. The top-loader is great for presoaking — you can let soiled garments soak in the machine and then just turn it on.

BAILA (4 kids, ages 1–7)

I have a Whirlpool front-loader, and I’m pretty pleased with it, even after replacing the pump a couple of times. The Load & Go Dispenser feature is amazing; it means that I don’t have to put in detergent for every load. The machine is now nearing its tenth birthday, which generally means it’s nearing old age… but I’m davening

RUCHY (10 kids, ages 1–22)

Until recently, I had all three types of machines: An LG front-loader, a GE top-loader without an agitator, and a Whirlpool top-loader with an agitator. I recommend having two machines (or even three!). Baruch Hashem, with a large family, it isn’t even a luxury.

The GE works well on heavy stains, but needs a perfectly balanced load to spin correctly. If the load isn’t balanced well, I’m left with a dripping wet load. It also takes forever to unlock if the load has begun and I want to add clothes. There’s no laundry softener drawer, and sometimes lint clings to dark clothes. As mentioned, however, I do like the machine for heavily soiled laundry (like wine stains).

The front-loader spins well when it comes to small loads, but it needs the door left open, and the rubber can tear from anything rough like metal zippers.

In regard to top-loaders with agitators, I broke mine when I washed a quilt before Pesach. It could never be repaired after that.

CHANY

I wouldn’t push a Yiddish soul to purchase a Frigidaire machine. I’ve had issues with mine since day one, and only after my purchase, when I did more research, did I hear how many people are unhappy with theirs as well.

Last year I purchased an LG for the country, and my clothing came out with brown bubble-like stains. A friend told me it can be the buildup of liquid detergent or pods. We’ll try powder detergent this year and see if it makes a difference.

(5 kids, ages 0–10) RIVKY

(2 kids, ages 2–5)

I’m super happy with my Electrolux front-loader. The Solid Soil level gives you a real deep clean to get rid of tough stains like mud. Also, the loads run so quietly, I sometimes have to check if it’s on!

CHAYA ROSEN

It’s one of those classic childhood questions, right up there with “How old are you?” and “What do you want to be when you grow up?” But as adults, we don’t often ask our friends or colleagues,

“WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?”

It turns out that there might be more to color preference than kids getting in touch with their individuality and discovering their own personal preferences. The colors you gravitate toward mean more than you think.

Can we actually use color preference as a tool to learn more about ourselves and our children? Maybe. But even if it’s not scientific, learning about personality and color can be a great family discussion, in which you might actually learn new things about every member of the family, anyway! And some experts say that predicating personality by the colors people gravitate toward can be quite close to scientific and pretty precise.

I’LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE.

THE COLOR WHEEL

Unless you’re color-blind, your eyes have the ability to see a shocking number of hues.

Science tells us that the average human eye can detect no less than one million shades of color, with some estimates going as high as ten million colors. And some people, born with an extra type of eye cell called a cone (tetrachromats, who are born with four cones instead of the usual three), may be able to see a mind-blowing one hundred million hues.

While there are countless shades of color out there — all affected by factors such as luminosity, saturation, undertones and many other variables — in general, people find that they do gravitate toward a particular color or palette.

Research has found that extroverts and introverts are attracted to different colors, but not always the

ones you would expect. According to some sources, anxious personality types are more likely to gravitate toward warmer colors such as yellow and orange, while people who don’t struggle with anxiety seem to prefer cooler colors like blue and green. In some studies, people were able to correctly categorize themselves into one of five main personality “styles” based on their color preference (grading ten colors from ten down to one based on their personal preference for each color). Culture and individual experiences can also change perceptions; for example, red is much more popular amongst Arabs and Asians than among the British. Now, down to business. Here is what the experts say about the most common “favorite colors.”

Enjoy learning more about yourself and the people you know!

One last word of caution before we start: It’s important to remember that these are general associations, and individuals are multifaceted and complex. Our color preferences can help pinpoint tendencies and be fun to learn about, but real personalities are a unique blend of different traits, and not a simplistic equation of color = personality.

PINK

Those who gravitate toward pink are often loving, kind, compassionate and nurturing. If pink is your color, you might find that you care deeply for others, and crave harmony and acceptance. You may be idealistic and gentle, yet charming and playful. You tend to avoid conflict and are sometimes overly sensitive, making you vulnerable to being hurt.

YELLOW

People tend to associate yellow with happiness, optimism, energy and warmth.

If you find that the color yellow resonates with you, you’re probably cheerful and energetic. You may have a love of learning and likely enjoy being intellectually stimulated. You may be a social butterfly and love being the center of attention. You try to be positive and possess strong problem-solving and communication skills. On the flip side, you may be prone to overthinking, especially in terms of anxious thoughts. Decision-making might be challenging due to a strong desire for perfection.

ORANGE

Those who like orange are often enthusiastic, warm and inspiring. They are generally very social, tend to be the life of the party, and adore adventures and having fun. If you’re drawn to orange, you’re probably friendly and may exude warmth and creativity. You thrive on new experiences and tackle challenges with gusto, optimism and a good dose of humor. Those who resonate with orange can be very motivating to others and make excellent salespeople, as they can be very persuasive. You may, however, struggle with impulsivity or restlessness, finding it hard to stay on track instead of moving on to the next exciting thing.

WHITE

If you’re drawn to white, you like simplicity and clarity. You crave order and cleanliness, hate clutter, and are organized and neat. Others may describe you as innocent, honest or optimistic. You are likely independent and self-reliant, but may struggle with trying to reach an unrealistic level of perfection. This can cause you to be overly critical — both of yourself and of others.

RED

Excitement and action are words that often fit those who gravitate toward red. If you love red, you’re probably energetic, crave action, respect strength and have strong leadership skills. You may be bold and assertive. You’re passionate about the things that are important to you, especially your beliefs, values, goals and relationships. You may be intense and driven by a strong desire to succeed and move ahead; you may be ambitious in your achievements, and competitive and determined. You likely thrive in a dynamic environment and possess a style of communication that is very direct, which may be appreciated at times, but viewed as aggressive and insensitive at others.

If red is your color, you might struggle with patience and with wanting to be in control. You also likely experience difficulty when faced with indecision and inaction — your own or others’.

GREEN

Do you gravitate toward green? You tend to be balanced and down-to-earth, with a strong sense of right and wrong. Nature is your calm, happy place, and you crave harmony and peace in both your physical surroundings and your interpersonal relationships. You may have good listening skills, and others likely describe you as nurturing, empathetic, compassionate and supportive, making you a cherished friend. You may also be known as a practical, stable and reliable team member who’s good at solving problems.

Change may be difficult for those who like green, who prefer security and stability.

BLUE

Those who choose this color are often described as loyal, wise, confident and calm.

If you favor blue, you probably appreciate stability, peace and order. You make a good friend by being thoughtful, trustworthy, dependable, sincere and honest. With that said, you are likely introverted and prefer listening over speaking. You tend to lean toward strategic thinking and can be an excellent communicator, especially when you feel comfortable.

Sometimes, people find those who resonate with the color blue too conservative or even stodgy, as a result of a strong need for harmony, stability and routine. Those who like blue tend to shy away from confrontation and chaos.

TESTING, TESTING…

There seems to be a plethora of color-personality tests out there. Curious about their accuracy, I tried several of them.

One promised me a “freakishly accurate” personality description. I trusted that line too blindly, and was somehow convinced by the various colored circles around the name of the test that this was, indeed, a color personality test. Well, I was wrong. After spending way too long answering dozens of questions by marking one of eight points on a range from “agree” or “disagree”, I was provided a nice (if shallow) analysis of my personality — with no mention of colors at all.

Just when I was starting to get frustrated with this fruitless (or rather, colorless) endeavor, I found a test that proclaimed: Discover Your Color Code Personality! Take This Free Quiz Now!

The test had me answer all the questions as I would have as a child — emphasis theirs. This is easier said than done. I challenge you to try it and disagree. Some days I hardly remember my kids’ names, and they want me to remember how I responded as a kid when my friend did xyz? I did my best, but I wasn’t so impressed with the results. When listing the four colors it assumed I like, the result listed red first. Red! The one color I’ve always rather disliked. Here are the results paired with my comments:

Red Dynamo

You’re a natural leader with boundless energy and confidence, just like the fiery hues in this color code personality test. Channel your decisive spirit by setting bold goals and inspiring your team today.

Yes, I am a natural leader. Boundless energy? Not quite. Maybe more sleep would help. My decisive spirit? Not. Actually, really really not. I can spend an embarrassingly long amount of time on decisions. Bold goals? Inspiring my team? Um, no.

Blue Sage

Empathetic, thoughtful and diplomatic, you mirror the calm, trustworthy blue in our color code test. Harness your listening skills to build

stronger connections and guide others to winwin solutions.

I like blue, but it’s really not one of my favorites. I like to think that I am empathetic, thoughtful and diplomatic, and I am definitely trustworthy, but calm? I struggle with that. My natural state is more of a worrying kind. Harness my listening skills to build stronger connections and guide others to win-win solutions? Is that supposed to be vague parenting advice?

Yellow Visionary

Your optimism and creativity shine through like vibrant yellow in the color code personality quiz, making you a catalyst for fresh ideas. Spark innovation by sharing your vision and rallying colleagues around new projects.

Wow! Finally, they got it right. Yellow is my absolute favorite color, ever since I was a little girl. I like to think I am optimistic — but like I said, I do tend to worry too much and even catastrophize. But I am attracted to optimism! Maybe that’s why I like yellow; opposites attract, right?! Yes, I am creative. And I like that — my “creativity shines through like vibrant yellow”! Ahhh. That sounds so nice.

White Peacekeeper

Calm, patient and supportive, you embody the purity of white from the personality test color code, fostering harmony wherever you go. Leverage your peaceful nature by mediating conflicts and creating inclusive environments.

Um… I think they got this wrong. I have no particular affinity for white. After yellow, I like purples, preferably light ones like lavender and lilac. I am not calm. I struggle with patience (I promise I’d do better with more sleep, really, I do). I do try to be supportive… does that count? Fostering harmony? Cough, cough. Does mediating fights count? I do tell my kids our home should be an inclusive environment where everyone feels loved, seen, heard and accepted. There you go. Maybe they’re not so wrong, after all!

PURPLE

If you love purple, you likely have a very developed imagination and are very creative. You are often recognized as a unique individual. Spiritual and intuitive, you might find that you seek deeper meaning in your life and pursue truth. You value your independence and enjoy intellectual pursuits.

You might appreciate luxury as well as artistic expression, beauty and quality.

Others may describe you as sophisticated and mature. You tend toward idealism and feel a strong sense of compassion. Because of your deep emotional sensitivity, you may experience mood swings and strong emotions.

BROWN

Though not the most common favorite color, those who are drawn to brown, earthy tones tend to be practical, stable, reliable and honest. They are often described as down-to-earth, humble and hardworking. If you gravitate toward brown, you may find that you value stability, security and physical comfort. You often have a deep connection to nature. You may appreciate simple living without all the extra noise and frills that are so common around you. You are likely a loyal and dependable friend and pride yourself for being sensible and grounded.

Those who like brown can have trouble with change and tend to prefer routine and familiar surroundings.

With so many colors and personalities in the world around us, it’s clear that Hashem created a vast number of different people, who are all meant to live alongside one another. As humans, we share so many tendencies — yet have so many variances.

Over the course of our lifetimes, we’ll be presented with opportunities at every corner to grow, love and live peacefully with the many colors and shades of the people in our lives.

But from the aspect of Pritzus, and in the market in front of others, it is learned from the verse, ‘And he uncovered the woman’s head…’ since Pritzus brings to improper thoughts, how can one him a woman with loose hair! And this is forbidden by the Torah! Certainly he has no way to get close and look at the woman in order to determine if the hair Torah are negligent in public with a possible Issur De’oraisa!! this breach and especially when I see here and there a Kol Korei warning about the Issur of long wigs, as if they are giving a stamp of approval to short ones!

IN REVIEW

BACKSTORY

Launched in 1946 by Procter & Gamble, Tide was the world’s first heavy-duty synthetic detergent, and a total gamechanger to the industry. By the early 1950s, it was already America’s #1 laundry brand. Since then, it kept evolving: enzymes were added in the ’60s, liquid versions were launched in the ’80s, and those now-iconic Pods hit the market in 2012. Today, Tide holds over 14% of the global laundry market and remains the go-to choice in millions of homes.

At the 2012 Daytona 500, a car race that took place before a crowd of 140,000 people, disaster struck when a car collided with a jet-drying truck, spilling fuel and igniting a fire on the racetrack. Cleanup crews raced in — not with high-tech chemicals, but with Tide powder detergent, which was dumped straight onto the fuel. Spectators got a clear view of Tide cleaning up the mess, which meant tremendous — and free — exposure for Tide. Tide turned it into a national ad days later: “You keep inventing stains. We’ll keep inventing ways to get them out.”

LOGO

That famous orange-and-yellow bullseye is no accident. Created by industrial designer Donald Deskey in the 1940s, the Tide logo was made to grab attention from across the grocery aisle. Its concentric rings look like a target — fitting for a detergent that’s all about stain elimination.

YAHRTZEIT OF THE BOBOVER

REBBE, RAV SHLOMO HALBERSTAM

(1908–2000)

Rav Shlomo Halberstam, zt”l, the third Bobover Rebbe, was a towering gaon and poel yeshuos who rebuilt a shattered world with unwavering emunah and deep ahavas Yisroel. With regal dignity and a heart full of compassion, he reestablished Bobov as one of the most vibrant chassidic dynasties in postwar America.

Born in 1907, Rav Shlomo was the son of Rav Benzion Halberstam, zt”l, the Kedushas Tzion, and a great-grandson of the Divrei Chaim of

STREET VIEW

How did you get started?

When my father was a chasan, he took on a side job to help pay for his chasunah expenses. He began working at a dry cleaner in Boro Park that was owned by a frum couple. Eventually, he bought the business from them, renamed it Landau’s Cleaners, and we’ve been proudly servicing the Boro Park community ever since.

What is the most challenging part of the job?

Customer service! We pride ourselves on a quick turnaround — items are returned within two to three days, never longer. Coordinating pickups, cleanings and returns within that tight timeframe can definitely be a challenge, but baruch Hashem, we get the job done.

What is your busiest season?

Before Pesach, hands down. People clean out their closets and bring in everything for a refresh — curtains, gowns, Purim costumes, kittels, beketches, even matzah tashen!

What is your most popular service?

We specialize in fine evening wear. Customers trust us with their gowns, silks and beading.

What is the strangest request you’ve ever received?

Every so often, someone asks if we can clean their fabric sukkah. The answer is yes! We also get asked to remove old yellow stains, and 99% of the time, we succeed. We’re also known for our vintage garment care, and those pieces often come in with very vintage stains... but leave spotless.

Can you share a memorable story?

A kallah’s mother once cut her hand on the glass of the licht under the chuppah. In shock, she grabbed the kallah, and blood ended up all over her white gown! They called us in a panic right after the chuppah I rushed over to the hall with a special steam machine. The kallah had to take off her gown, and we waited 45 minutes for the machine to heat up.

Bobov’s mehalech was always one of malchiyus. The Rebbe’s dignified presence — his noble bearing and eyes that sparkled even as they pierced your soul — inspired awe and love.

Important Notice

On Permanent Makeup

Over the last few years, there has been an increase in beauty salons/ facial care services, offering permanent makeup treatments, which the Gedolei Haposkim, both past and contemporary, have ruled is a serious shaila of tattooing (עקעק תבותכ).

Thereupon, we notify the public of the Da’as Torah regarding all forms of make-up treatments intended to last for long periods, including Permanent Makeup, Micro-blading, Micro-shading, etc., that these may contain the concern of tattooing )עקעק תבותכ) and are therefore prohibited.

(In case of illness etc., one should consult Da’as Torah, well versed in this matter).

We hereby alert all professionals offering these services, to refrain from employing these methods among Bnos Yisrael.

Also, it is a great responsibility upon all publications not to place an advertisement offering the aforementioned services.

May we all adhere to our Torah values and do our utmost to preserve Kedushas Yisrael. In this merit, may we be zoche to raise ehrliche generations, Zerah Beirach Hashem.

Ready for a lucrative career that empowers you with both professional fulfillment and the flexibility to thrive? The PCS/FDU Master’s in Accounting program is designed for you. Rated as a top Masters in Accounting program by Eduniversal and Forbes, PCS maintains a 98 percent placement rate.

WHY ACCOUNTING IS YOUR NEXT MOVE

The accounting profession has undergone a transformation. As Professor Robert DeFilippis notes, “Now, women fill half of the accounting positions and make up the majority of accounting students in colleges.” Accounting is the language of business, opening doors to diverse roles, from financial leadership to even CEO positions. DeFilippis also emphasizes the breadth of the field: “I always tell students the accounting profession is like a large hotel with many rooms where each room is different from the others. There are so many different kinds of accounting jobs everyone can find a room they like. Many accounting roles also offer flexible schedules, perfect for integrating your career with your life.”

THE PCS/FDU ADVANTAGE: DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS

The PCS/ FDU condensed, targeted curriculum prepares you for the CPA exams, boasting one of the highest passing rates in the U.S. When asked about the program’s success, Professor DeFilippis explains, “I tell everyone to think of a

triangle which has three legs. Our legs are a good curriculum, excellent faculty, and most important, outstanding students.”

UNPRECEDENTED JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN LAKEWOOD

There’s an enormous demand for accountants right now. In Lakewood, a rapidly growing city, most of our students secure internships when they start and full-time job offers before they graduate. Our graduates are highly sought after for their intelligence and strong work ethic, with many alumni now leading local businesses and hiring our students.

WHO THRIVES IN ACCOUNTING?

“Many people think accounting is a math discipline. It is not,” clarifies Professor DeFilippis. “While logical thinking is key, accounting crucially requires excellent interpersonal skills. Advancing to senior levels requires excellent communication skills.
