Mom’s got questions, Hamaspik has answers. Get guidance to help your child grow. My child is 15 months and isn’t walking yet. Should I be concerned? If your child can pull himself up to stand and cruise, he is already learning how to walk and will likely soon begin to walk independently. It is concerning if at 15 months he is still only crawling, or if he isn’t walking on his own at 17-18 months.
My 15-month old isn’t saying many words. Should I get her evaluated? At 15 months, most babies can already say a few words. By 18 months, a child should be able to say 10-15 words with intent, even if they are unclear. It’s also important to consider other aspects of language development, such as pointing to objects and following simple directions.
My child is 12 months and not rolling or crawling. Is this a delay? Babies commonly roll over at 4-7 months, and begin to crawl at 8-9 months. Not doing so at 12 months appears to be a delay. Your child can be evaluated to determine if he is eligible for Early Intervention (EI) services to get help learning to crawl.
My 4 month old child doesn’t make eye contact. Does he need EI services? Children over the age of 4 months who do not make eye contact, such as looking at you when being fed or smiling when being smiled at, should be evaluated for services.
My 14-month old is having difficulties eating. Can she get evaluated? Feeding issues generally do not qualify a child for EI services. If there is a delay in another area, for example motor or language, the feeding issue can also be addressed.

Spare me the science mumbo jumbo. Why doesn’t Devash A1 Free milk hurt my stomach?
If your milk is supposed to be so easy on the system, why is my stomach growling like an angry bulldog? - Confused Chai Latte Drinker
Ah, someone didn’t read our ads carefully enough. If you’re lactose intolerant our milk won’t help you, it still has lactose because it’s regular milk, just without the A1 protein. Only people who are sensitive to the amino acids in A1 protein can throw out the cashew milk and rejoice. (So if you’re self-diagnosed as lactose intolerant, you should give this milk a chance).
- A formerly dairy deprived guy who can’t get enough of the purple stuff.
Hey guy, great milk mustache btw. In short, A1 free milk doesn’t have the amino acids that can cause discomfort. It’s as simple as that. Studies have shown that as many as 90% of people who self diagnose as lactose intolerant may in fact not be, many of them may have a problem with the A1 protein.
Listen Devash, this A1 free stuff sounds all nice and good. But the proof is in the milchig pudding, so can you back up these claims? Or are you fact-intolerant? - Daas yochid dairy expert
So what kind of processing, engineering, and hormones go into this new milk that makes it more agreeable for my stomach?
Thank you for your email Daasy, can we call you Daasy? We’ve got studies on studies on studies that have proven that A1 free milk may be easier on the system than milk that has it. Here’s some light reading for you. agreeablemilk.com
- Shloimy “sipping suspiciously” Blum.
Hi Shloimy, great question. To answer in order, the same as any milk, zero, and none. See the beauty of A1 free milk is that it’s literally just regular milk. The only difference is that it comes from cows that naturally don’t produce the A1 protein that causes discomfort. In fact, this is the true natural milk, A1 (which we're free of) is a mutation. You can stop sipping and start chugging!
THE MILK THAT AGREES WITH YOUR BODY & YOUR OPINIONS
Hear em butter up our milk. Tastes the same and it actually works! My daughter was never able to enjoy milk and she just drank 2 full glasses and she had no problems whatsoever. This is life changing. Chanie Appelbaum @busyinbrooklyn I'm definitely not lactose intolerant but sometimes after having heavy dairy like a milkshake my stomach can get bothered. But this is wild, it didn't hurt my stomach at all! I’m telling you, just try it! Danielle Renov @peaslovencarrots

(Re: A Work of Art and Heart, Issue 218) Thank you so much for the beautiful recipe you presented with instructions that even an amatuer can follow. I’d like to share a reason for this heilige minhag: After the Yomim Noraim and Hoshana Rabbah, when we beg for selicha mechilah u’kaparah, we are certain that we are cleansed and all of our aveiros have been forgiven. Therefore we eat “niselach” (nuts) to represent “vanislach.” And also, now that we are pure from all chet, we can already eat nuts, egoz, which has the same gematria as chet. R.B.

(Re: Remembering Myself, Issue 217) Miri Green’s trying ordeal was a very fitting read on Rosh Hashanah. Naturally, I was quite moved by her story; how could I not have been? It served as a timely reminder that even when life seems to be progressing on smooth terrain, there is so much we need to daven for. However, I don’t believe that our loving Father would penalize someone who remembered all of her loved ones in her tefillos. I actually found that suggestion somewhat disconcerting. The seforim tell us that when we pray for others, we ourselves are helped. I wish Mrs. Green good health and much koach to continue being the fount of goodness she apparently is. And I pray that neither she, nor anyone else, should ever be plagued with any doubt as to whether offering up their sincere tefillos on behalf of others will come at the price of their own well-being.

enjoy it week after week and read it from cover to cover. In regard to the serials, I very much enjoy the story The Cuckoo Clock, as do my kids the Yiddish comic serial. That’s why I want to know if these are real-life stories, based on true facts, or, if they never happened, whether they are being concocted week by week. The reason I am asking is that I was once rather turned off when reading the last page of a book, where the author proudly related that, week after week, just minutes before the deadline, she would quickly write the next chapter, not knowing where the story would lead her. I would really appreciate a bit of insight in regard to the background of these two stories. Thank you, A Very Involved Reader
Dear Shortcut User, I’ve been awakened by your late-night loud voices many a time. I’ve picked up hundreds of your carelessly tossed coffee cups. I’ve collected hundreds of your children’s nosh bags, wrappers and half-eaten sandwiches. I’ve amassed a huge collection of empty drink boxes and bottles. I’ve read dozens of dropped school letters, advisory notes and many a cute mitzvah tzetel. I’ve shoveled snow and thawed ice patches to make the going easier for you. I’ve spent lots of money on privacy gates and fences, and even on lighting! Monsey has grown, ka”h, and these issues have exploded into major ones. As we start a new year, it’s time to make vast improvements

By sharing an incident I experienced last week, I’d like to bring awareness to an important issue. One morning, at about 7:00 a.m., I woke up to the sounds of a group of kids talking very loudly in my yard, trying to figure out how to get something that had landed on a tree next to my house. They then proceeded to climb up my front porch, which is right under my master bedroom. You can imagine my surprise when their very caring father then arrived with a ladder and leaned it against my house to remove the item from the tree! It is possible that there are people who were maybe never taught or never thought that this is something that is not correct to do. When I was younger, we always knew that if a ball, or anything else, landed in a neighbor’s property, we had to knock on the door and ask if we could take it from their yard. And if such a thing would happen on Shabbos afternoon, we would wait until they woke up from their Shabbos nap to get it. I think that it is beautiful that our community is expanding, but boundaries must be taught to children, and modeled by adults. Trespassed

SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? Mothers’ worries addressed by Hamaspik’s OPWDD Evaluator Dr. Gampel
My Concern:
My Concern:
It hurts me to speak about my four-year-old this way, but he comes across as a bit “weird.” He will say random comments — out of the blue — when someone is talking to him. He has a funny way of staring at things and doesn’t get any social cues whatsoever. Many people have told me that I’m making a big deal out of nothing, but I don’t think so. I have three other children, and they weren’t this way.
My six-year-old son is super sensitive. He will start shouting when the house gets noisy and will throw a full-blown tantrum if something I’m cooking smells too strongly or if I prepare him clothing that he doesn’t like. And worst of all, if someone comes even close to his space, he becomes completely out of hand. To put it mildly, he definitely has sensory issues.
Should I be concerned?
Concern or no Concern? As a concerned parent, you are bothered by your son’s “weird” behavior. From your letter it seems that there are two major areas of concern. The first is his non-response to questions. The second is his his staring and his lack of perception of social cues. When does this behavior occur? Is it all the time or only in specific situations? Perhaps he is feeling alone or the house is too hectic. He may withdraw in order to cope. You mentioned that he is the fourth and youngest child. It’s possible that he feels stressed by his inability to do things that the other children can. If that is the case, then giving him responsibilities and praise for doing the tasks will help with the social actions. How does he play with other children? Does he get along with them? Does he give these types of responses to them or only to adults? The more specific the area where he engages in responses that concern you, the less likely there is a skilll problem. Instead, it is related to the situation where he makes those responses When we look at a child’s responses to conversation, we generally ask a few questions. The first is: Did he understand the question? Was he responding to one of the words and not the whole context? Was he involved in imaginative play and therefore gave a response related to his play and not the question? Youngest children, especially in a busy household, may become very involved in imaginative play and therefore may give tangential responses. As the child gets into school and is surrounded by other children, the problem should disappear. When we analyze a problem, the questions we must always ask are: When does it occur? Are there better or more difficult periods? Is there a skill lacking that is impacting the response? As you answer these questions, you will know whether the issue is situational and behavioral and can be handled by giving responsibility to the child so he has more opportunities to feel confident — or whether there are skill issues that need remediation.
Should I be concerned? Certainly a child of six years old should be able to tolerate smells and sounds without losing control. We therefore need to figure out why displaying such behavior. Are these isolated occurrences, or are these symptoms pointing to something bigger? Is he doing it for attention? When did these responses and reactions start? Obviously, before making a diagnosis, it’s important to know whether he only recently started exhibiting such extreme behavior, or if he has always reacted this way. Once these variables are determined, it is then possible to figure out what the nature of the difficulty is. If it is entirely sensory, then we’d slowly help him learn to tolerate the sounds of the environment. If he does not know how to regulate his own reactions, then we’d need to teach him methods of self-control and relaxation. If there are issues related to family and attention, then we’d need to work with him on developing better social skills. With a proper evaluation we would be able to determine the right treatment and services that would help your son and your family on a daily basis.

Handpicked Happening’s
Ever since our doors have opened, six months ago, we have received an overwhelming
positive and enthusiastic response by our many guests. Customers can’t believe their good fortune in finding beautiful, unique clothes at unreal prices! While most come to snatch a good find, some enjoy just to browse these stunning pieces, while others just like to relax on our royal couch… And still, there are many who are confused with this new concept and have questions about our interesting new place. As a service to all, we printed the popular questions so you can get the answer, too!
1)Is your store only for millionaires? Well, the brands we carry are usually purchased by people who can afford luxury, but we want to make beautiful clothes available to all! Our prices are 50-90% off the original retail value so you can shop amazing bargains! Outerwear, shoes, and apparel start as low as $45 with magnificent simcha gowns starting as low as $200!
2)Are you sure this isn’t a knock-off? One thousand percent! Every item in our store goes through an authentication process to ensure the authenticity for your purchase protection. We will never sell any fakes, imitations, or knock-offs! That’s our promise to you or your money back.
3)How can you sell designer items so cheap? We curate our beautiful items from luxury department stores like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and even Harrod’s. Some items are overstock, store returns, or past season merchandise, while others have small damages like a snag, missing button, or makeup stain. Highend stores can’t sell these and pass them on to us for bargain bottom prices!
4)How often do you get new arrivals? Every Sunday around the year. And daily during changing seasons.
5)I’m not really into designer brands is there anything you can offer me?
Handpicked is your place if you enjoy wellmade clothes and high-quality materials. It’s the place for you if want something unique instead of the same, same, same found in shops all over New York. And it’s definitely your place if you like a good catch at a great price!
6)You sell used stuff?
Approximately 25% of our items are pre-owned. They were not necessarily used but they were purchased and owned by individuals before it got to us. The condition of each item is very clearly marked on the tag so you know whether you’re buying something that’s new, pre-owned, or vintage.
7)What exactly is vintage?
Vintage items are 20 years or older. The amazing workmanship of these pieces, some by retired talented designers, are hard to find in today’s mass-production era. The detailed designs, high quality and beautiful tailoring make them exceptionally special. Many are deadstock pieces from high-end stores, but some may have been previously owned.
8)I have many designer things; do you want to buy it? We’re sure they’re great items but we only buy from our authenticated suppliers.
Is there anything else you’d like to know? We’ll gladly clarify - walk right in, or contact us.

Sukkos By: Malka Schneps
Sukkos is also known as Zman Simchaseinu. We enter the sukkah full of simcha as we are taken under the wings of the Shechinah. And yet, just a few days before, we were far from Hashem and in need of doing teshuvah. Could it really be that our teshuvah was so quickly accepted that we can go from being far from Hashem to being so very close to Him in such a short time? It says in the Torah, “And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of the hadar tree, branches of date palm trees, a branch of a braided tree, and willow of the brook, and you shall rejoice before Hashem your G-d for a seven-day period… For a seven-day period you shall dwell in sukkahs… In order that your generations should know that I had the Bnei Yisroel live in sukkahs when I took them out of the land of Mitzrayim.” (Vayikra 23:40–43) The Midrash says that the four minim can represent four types of Yidden. The “fruit of the hadar tree,” the esrog, has both taste and fragrance, and represents those in Klal Yisroel who have both Torah and mitzvos (the tzaddikim). Next is “the branches of the date palm.” The date has taste, but no smell, and represents those who have Torah, but no mitzvos. The “branch of a braided tree” is the myrtle, which has fragrance but no taste. This represents those who have mitzvos, but not Torah. Finally, the “willow of the brook” has no fragrance and no taste. It

represents those devoid of both mitzvos and Torah. The Ksav Sofer cites this Midrash to explain how it is that we go so quickly from being far from Hashem to rejoicing under the wings of the Shechinah. The above pesukim reveal that it can indeed happen that quickly. There are three main ideas in the above pesukim: (1) Taking the arba minim (U’lekachtem lachem…); (2) Rejoicing before Hashem (…u’semachtem lifnei Hashem…); and (3) Dwelling in the sukkah (Ba’sukkos teishvu…). The Ksav Sofer explains that the mitzvos of taking the arba minim and dwelling in the sukkah are related. In one hand we hold the esrog, which represents the tzaddik, and in the other hand we hold the remaining three minim, which represent every other type of Yid. Before Yom Kippur and in the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, these four categories would not be in the same place, as one is close to Hashem and the others, to varying degrees, are far. After Yom Kippur, however, these three categories of Yidden become baalei teshuvah, and we know that teshuvah is so powerful that “in the place where the baal teshuvah stands, even a tzaddik cannot stand” (Brachos 34b). And indeed, the three minim corresponding to these three types of Yidden are held in the right hand, illustrating this point. Next, it says, we are to rejoice before Hashem. After doing teshuvah and coming close to Hash-
em, we can all rejoice before Hashem. Finally, we are commanded to dwell in sukkahs for seven days. This mitzvah is given to kol ha’ezrach b’Yisroel — all residents among Bnei Yisroel. Every single Yid is zoche to be in the sukkah and under the wings of the Shechinah. It is hard to fathom how quickly teshuvah is accepted. The Ksav Sofer explains that by commanding us to dwell in sukkahs, we are reminded of how we went from the 49th level of tumah in Mitzrayim to dwelling within the ananei hakavod. If people can go from the 49th level of tumah to dwelling within the ananei hakavod, then surely we can understand that indeed a person can go from a lowly place to dwelling within the sukkah. The Ksav Sofer concludes that this is why the main name of the chag is Sukkos, after the mitzvah of dwelling in sukkahs; by way of this mitzvah, we can believe that we will all rejoice before Hashem with the arba minim, with the three types of Yidden not only included in this mitzvah, but held in the right hand. Through this mitzvah we can see that every one of us, once we do teshuvah, can truly rejoice before Hashem. Indeed, Sukkos is known as Zman Simchaseinu. After moving from Elul through Rosh Hashanah, the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah and Yom Kippur, we have done teshuvah. Through teshuvah, we have come closer to Hashem — and what greater source of simcha can there be?

In Historic Burial, Holocaust Remains Brought to Kever Yisroel in Monsey
PHOTOS: JEFF KARG/HMTCE, MISASKIM, ANDREA WINOGRAD/HMTCE
A steady rain felt like heavenly tears as more than 200 people turned out at the Monsey Jewish Cemetery on September 26 to give kavod acharon to an unknown number of Holocaust victims whose remains were smuggled out of the Chelmno death camp years ago. The remains had been previously donated to the Holocaust Museum and Center for Tolerance and Education in a small box that was believed to contain nothing more than dirt from Chelmno, the first of six Nazi death camps that also included Auschwitz, Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka. Museum curator Julie Golding said that staffers inventorying artifacts this past January sent the dirt for analysis and discovered that it contained ashes and human bone fragments. The museum,
148 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
which recently located to Rockland Community College from its longtime home adjacent to the Finkelstein Memorial Library, consulted with Rav Reuven Feinstein and Rabbi Elchonon Zohn of the National Association of Chevra Kadisha, the Chelmno Holocaust Museum, the Polish general consul in New York, and Poland’s chief rabbi, Rabbi Michael Shudrich, so that it could bring the remains to kever Yisroel without encountering any halachic or legal problems. “They were placed in a full-size aron, something we were told to do by the rabbanim for kavod hameis because we don’t know how many people are in there — it could be five or it could be fifty,” said Golding. “The remains were placed in a tallis, in a full set of tachrichim, with dirt from Eretz Yisroel.” Congregation Sons of Israel in Spring Valley donated an area of land large enough for 35 plots to be used for the burial, and a group of men, women and children representing the full spectrum of Rockland County’s Jewish community braved inclement weather for the

rare opportunity to bury the remains of Holocaust survivors in a Jewish cemetery. After opening remarks by Rabbi Yosef Chaim Golding, whose recent book Faith Amid the Flames shared the story of his father-in-law Rabbi Yosef Friedenson’s wartime experiences, those assembled at the newly erected matzeivah heard from Congregation Sons of Israel’s Rabbi Moshe Dick, museum president Paul Galan, and Artscroll/Mesorah Publication’s editor Rabbi Nosson Scherman, who traveled from Brooklyn to attend the levayah. Members of the Monsey chevrah kadisha, Chaverim and Hatzolah were all on hand to lower the aron into the ground, with the Kel Malei Rachamim recited by Chazan Asher Scharf. Tears flowed freely as Kaddish was said by two Monsey residents, Rabbi Moshe Gross and Rabbi Shmuel Gross, childhood survivors of Bergen-Belsen. Rockland County Legislator Aron Wieder, one of several men who lowered the aron into the ground, said that taking part in the levayah was an extremely emotional experience. “I had goose bumps when I was carrying the aron with the ashes,” Wieder told The Monsey View. “It was a tremendous zechus to participate in the funeral, and I encourage people to go to this kever and say a kapitel of Tehillim there.”
Construction on the Nanuet site that had been home to a Pathmark store for years is in its final stages, with a brand-new discount store selling groceries, organic foods and produce opening on October 10. Aldi, a global supermarket chain that has roots in Europe dating back more than 50 years, will have a gala grand opening at 8:30 a.m., with gift cards distributed to the first 100 customers to walk through its doors. Shoppers will also be able to register for a giveaway of a year’s supply of Aldi produce and receive a free environmentally friendly Aldi grocery bag. Regular hours at the store’s 43 East Route 59 location will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The opening of the Aldi comes two weeks after Fairway, another store with a loyal customer following, shuttered its Nanuet location. The Journal News reported that the closing of anchor stores at The Shops at Nanuet had resulted in less foot traffic, causing a significant drop in sales. For the past while, customers had been noticing that the store’s shelves were looking empty, and after weeks of rumors, Fairway closed the Nanuet store on September 25.

Recap: Tzippy reacts to Miri’s nastiness by bursting into tears. Miri feels awful and tells Yaakov about it. In doing so, she realizes that perhaps she is creating a rift between Yaakov and Peretz. “Binyamin?” Shabsi stuck his head into the room just as Binyamin’s balled-up socks landed in the laundry bag. “What?” Binyamin yawned in response as he fluffed up his pillow. “Oh, you’re on the way to bed already? Okay, I’ll find someone else. I came to you because you once asked to join me for these types of jobs, remember?” “Sure!” Binyamin jumped up. “Did they call you?” “You’re not supposed to be so excited,” Shabsi chastised Binyamin, whose hands were now deep in the laundry bag. “I know, after tonight you’ll be able to buy two good shirts, and start saving for a new hat, and maybe you’ll even have enough money left over for a bottle of Coke, but it would be nice to remember where we’re going…” He concluded the sentence with a singsong intonation. “We have to remember that all our lives,” Binyamin agreed, ignoring the tingling at the back of his neck. It was a quarter to twelve at night. True, he was the one who had asked Shabsi if he could join him the next time such an opportunity arose, but that didn’t mean that the first time would be easy. “Oh, well, looks like I’ll need to take fresh socks from my drawer.” They walked together down the street, the streetlights casting macabre shadows of their figures every which way. But Binyamin just stared straight ahead.
“What do I have to know?” he asked. His muscles were tense, and his shoulders felt pinched. “Nothing special. With Tehillim and Mishnayos it’s one rate, and without them it’s another rate. But I always say Tehillim or learn. When it’s two of us we can take shifts, with one of us going out to doze and the other staying in the room.” “Where is it?” Binyamin remembered to ask. “Rashi Street. The levayah is supposed to be tomorrow morning.” “And they leave him in the house like that for all these hours?” “What does ‘like that’ mean? Can you think of something better for him now than having two yeshivah bachurim saying Tehillim at his side all night? So yes, that’s how they leave him.” Shabsi was emphatic as he turned right. Binyamin didn’t know what he expected to see when they arrived, but the building was silent. There was no wailing from inside, and the wall was bare; there were no signs. “We have to tell them to put up a warning sign for Kohanim,” Shabsi said, scanning the gate. “Who is it?” Binyamin asked as they climbed the stairs in the ancient building. “A very old man, a Holocaust survivor. His grandson taught me in yeshivah ketanah, and he was one of the youngest of his grandsons. There are already great-grandchildren in

the family who are married. Do you know a Greenzweig here?” “No,” Binyamin said. The door on the second floor was open. Shabsi knocked lightly, gently, and without waiting, walked inside. Binyamin followed, trying to keep his breathing even. He couldn’t look at the faces of the people who came forward to greet them. Shabsi spoke to them, looking every bit like someone who knew his job well. Then he nudged Binyamin slightly with his arm toward the narrow doorway on the right. They stepped into a room with a high ceiling whose walls were covered in old-fashioned floral wallpaper. For the first minute it was terrifying. The flickering candles on the floor near the tallis, the dim room, the medical devices standing, abandoned and silent, on the side… Then Binyamin’s eyes caught sight of something: a small, black faded hat, hanging on a hook opposite the door. It was a narrow-brimmed hat, clearly purchased 30 or 40 years ago. All those years ago, a hat manufacturer had sat and designed that hat, and then all the bachurim, and perhaps even the married young men, had bought that style hat, because that was “in” at the time. And almost without realizing it, Binyamin raised his hand and touched his own hat. Shabsi was already sitting on the chair near the wall, swaying over a small Tehillim, but Binyamin was still standing at the door and staring at the hat that had remained hanging on the wall. * * * * *

“What do you say about this doctor, Totty?” Elisheva Potolsky asked her father as the two of them walked out of the outpatient clinic at Beilinson Hospital. “He’s good,” he replied. “Yes, baruch Hashem. He gives a professional impression,” Elisheva agreed. “I’m happy we found him. If walking will become easier for you, then coming all the way here will have been worth it.” She stepped up to the curb and flagged a taxi. “To Bnei Brak, Chazon Ish Street,” she said as her father struggled into the front seat. “You need to go to work,” he protested feebly. “You should get off there; I’ll continue to my place by myself.” “I want to talk to the management at the nursing home about the physical therapy that you need,” Elisheva said. “And it’s fine; I’m not losing a day of work. I switched my day off this week.” He murmured something, and she closed the door behind him. Her cell phone rang just as she settled into the back seat. She ignored it at first; she didn’t like speaking on the phone when she was with her father. But it continued ringing over and over again, and she saw the driver glancing at her quizzically through the mirror. She hastily pulled the phone out of her pocketbook, making sure as she did so that her father’s insurance card
was there. Rosenblit’s number was on her phone’s screen. What did the lawyer’s office want now? Hadn’t Eliyahu tied up all the loose ends with them? “Hello?” “Hello, this is Rosenblit. Am I speaking with Mrs. Potolsky?” “Yes. Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Rosenblit?” “Well, your husband isn’t available right now, and I wanted to find out what was going on.” “What do you mean?” she asked warily. Of course Eliyahu wasn’t available now; he was in kollel. But what did Rosenblit want? As far as she knew, they’d had a bit more than 15,000 shekels left in the account after all the wedding expenses, and Eliyahu had wired the money back to the lawyer. “You made a bank transfer to us yesterday for 15,350 shekels.” “That’s right.” “So, what is that money?” “What do you mean? It’s what was left over from what we got from you.” “But the receipts that you sent in show that there was a smaller amount remaining.” “Oh,” she said. “Yes, there were a few small things that my husband felt were not covered by the agreement with Mr. Korman, but they were on the same receipts so the sum was higher. But we returned that money.” “What kind of things did your husband feel were not covered by the agreement?” Elisheva tried to remember. “Like three new shirts for my son, when he only needed one for the wedding. And there was something else there… Oh, right, he had a voucher for a discount on a hat, which he got from yeshivah, so the amount we paid for the hat was less than what the receipt showed. There were a few other clothing items for the family with the same story.”

She didn’t tell him about the shoes she’d bought for Miri when they’d gone to buy Tzippy’s wedding shoes after Miri had remarked several times that she liked a certain pair of weekday shoes. She also didn’t tell him about the new towels she had chosen for herself, as per Eliyahu’s request. When he’d seen the tower of new towels and linens growing in the closet in the girls’ room and on the shelf in their room, he’d asked her to buy something new for herself, for their house. At first, he’d wanted her to buy a good set of linen. “You’re always replacing one shmattah piece with another,” he’d said. “By now the sets aren’t even sets. The pillowcases don’t have matching sheets anymore, and the sheets don’t have matching pillowcases. I want you to also have something nice and new out of all this shopping. We’ll manage with the expense, b’ezras Hashem.” But when she saw the skyhigh prices in the high-end linen store that Tzippy had buoyantly marched into, choosing three sets for herself — well, Elisheva’s heart just didn’t let her follow suit. She sufficed with four goodquality, soft towels, the type she hadn’t allowed herself to buy for more than twenty years, and they had paid for it with a check that included everything. Eliyahu had carefully kept a list of all these additional expenses and had deducted them from the final tally. She wouldn’t be detailing those things to the lawyer. “Those little purchases don’t make a difference to Korman,” Rosenblit said, sounding somewhat impatient. “Actually, he sent me a message this morning that he doesn’t want any of the change.” “What? Which change?” “The change you wired back. If even a small amount like this is transferred back to his account, he could have trouble

from the tax authorities. So he doesn’t want it.” Elisheva recoiled. “What… what does that mean?” she asked, eyes fixed on the red light ahead of them. “I’m sure that you can transfer the money to him somehow.” “This is what he wants,” the lawyer declared resolutely. “And as I told you already when we met, you don’t quibble with millionaires’ idiosyncrasies.” Elisheva wasn’t sure she remembered that statement, and she was even less sure that she agreed with it. “What about the Stockhammers?” she asked. “How did they react to the fact that they didn’t have to return the change?” “They didn’t have any change,” Rosenblit said. “And based on their receipts, they even exceeded the amount that they received by a bit.” Well, Elisheva certainly had no intention of discussing Peretz’s family’s finances with the lawyer. “I’ll speak to my husband,” she said hesitantly. They didn’t need tzedakah money! “I don’t know if we would want to receive money that isn’t included in the agreement. We’ve finished with the wedding expenses.” “So just give it to the young couple as a gift,” the lawyer said, sounding rather disinterested. “And that’s not Korman’s demand; he just said you should keep the money. It’s just my suggestion. Your daughter doesn’t work yet, right? And the kollelim don’t give much. What do they live off?” Whatever all the other young couples in their situation live off, Elisheva wanted to say, but didn’t. Because Tzippy really wasn’t having an easy time right now.

POWDER COUTURE, NOW CELEBRATING 4 YEARS OF BUSINESS IN MONSEY, IS WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL “MONSEY’S BEST KEPT SECRET”. TUCKED INTO A QUIET DRIVE-IN MALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUSTLE BUSTLE OF ROUTE 59, STEPPING INTO POWDER WILL MAKE YOU REALIZE THIS IS THE PLACE FOR GOWNS IN THE TRI-STATE AREA.
ON DESIGN A powerful design is like a child, loved from the minute it’s been conceived and adored from the second it appears in its finished version.
WE INTERVIEWED LEVANA EIDLISZ, THE DESIGNER, ORIGINALLY FROM FRANCE, AND WITH IMPECCABLE TASTE, TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HER WORK AT POWDER.
THE SECRETS of
FASHION
DID YOU STUDY FASHION DESIGN OR ARE YOU SELF TAUGHT? I studied arts and some fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NY as part of an art minor. However, I must say that most of what I really learned was from working in fashion. I started out as an assistant designer in Manhattan’s fashion district and learned everything about designing a collection, from sketching to fitting. I went on to working as a designer in Montreal, Canada and then opened up Powder, a custom evening wear boutique where I continue learning every day.

would ask me to draw out gowns for them so they could show it to their seamstresses to have made for their siblings’ or other family members’ weddings.
HOW IS WORKING IN FASHION DIFFERENT TODAY THAN FROM WHEN YOU STARTED OUT? Fashion is clouded with many designs created to be commercial and to “sell easy”. The more I work in fashion, the more I realize that to create a powerful and cohesive line, you must dig deep down in yourself. Your likes, your moods, your culture, and principles will greatly affect your vision. A powerful design is like a child, loved from the minute it’s been conceived and adored from the second it appears in its finished version.

Sanders Hospitalized THE PULSE: This past Tuesday, Vermont Senator
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) experienced chest discomfort during a campaign event in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was rushed to an area hospital, where he underwent a procedure for a blocked artery and had two stents inserted. Sanders is currently recuperating in the hospital. His longtime advisor and spokesperson Jeff Weaver said that he is conversing and in good spirits. However, he has canceled his upcoming campaign appearances. It is questionable if he will participate in the next Democratic debate scheduled for October
170 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
15 in Columbus, Ohio. THE IMPACT: Sanders is 78 years old. Many voters
have expressed concern regarding his age and how it can affect his capacity to serve as president. If Sanders is unable to return to the campaign trail quickly, it may prove fatal for his presidential ambitions. Even if he were to return to the trail, this episode would likely hurt his campaign, as it will give voters a reason to question his fitness for office. Sanders attempted to use this incident as a way to plug his support for Medicaid for All. He put out a statement: “None of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. And no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs. Medicare for All!�
Andrew Yang Hauls in $10 Million in Q3 THE PULSE: Democratic presidential candidate and
businessman Andrew Yang brought in a surprising haul of $10 million in campaign donations for the third quarter of this year. Many of these donations were from small-time donors who donated amounts of $200 or less. Yang’s haul is considered impressive because the businessman has limited political experience and contacts. THE ISSUES: Yang’s signature issue is his promise of a so-called Freedom Dividend. It will ensure a universal basic income of $1,000 for every American, independent of an individual’s work status or other factors. Yang also supports Medicare for All and advocates for Human-Centered Capitalism. Yang has focused on the need to address the risk that automation poses to the American worker. THE IMPACT: Raising $10 million puts Yang in the top tier of Democratic candidates. It gives his campaign the ability to spread its message on the national stage. Yang has been very successful in energizing his “Yang Gang” group of core supporters. He will now be able to work to broaden that base. Recent polling puts Yang at about 3 percent, which places him number six in the field of Democratic candidates.
Warren Continues to Surge THE PULSE: Recent polling has indicated that Senator Elizabeth Warren has closed the gap and surpassed Joe Biden as the leader of the Democratic field of candidates. A recent Economist/You Gov poll showed Warren with a six-point lead over Biden. She has also closed the gap or taken the lead in early primary and caucus states. THE IMPACT: To date, Joe Biden has benefited from a fractured progressive base, which is splitting its support among various liberal candidates such as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. How-
ever, as Warren pulls ahead and continues to project strength, she will likely be seen as the most viable progressive candidate. In turn, this may lead liberal Democratic primary voters to coalesce their support around her candidacy. This will make her a compelling candidate. It is sure to create concern among business behemoths and those on Wall Street that she has threatened to take on if elected.
Michael Bennet Criticizes Biden THE PULSE: Democratic presidential candidate and
Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) criticized former Vice President Biden by saying that he would not allow his children to engage in the type of business ventures made by Biden’s son Hunter. Bennet stressed that public servants should focus on serving the public and avoid exploiting their connections for personal gain. THE IMPACT: Bennet has styled himself as a centrist
candidate. In 2013, he was part of the Group of Eight that worked on bipartisan immigration reform. He is one of a handful of Democratic candidates to favor allocating funds for extending the physical barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border, provided that experts recommend it. Currently, Joe Biden is receiving the bulk of centrist Democratic support. Bennet may perceive that a window of opportunity exists should Biden falter or be harmed by the Ukraine saga. He is positioning himself as a centrist alternative to Biden and is seeking to appeal to that base. Bennet’s mother is Jewish, and his grandparents are Holocaust survivors.
Intelligence Community Inspector General Rebuts False Information THE PULSE: On Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claimed that the whistleblower rules were changed shortly before a whistleblower complaint was
October 10, 2019 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 171 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
lodged against President Trump. He intimated that this rule change allowed for secondhand information and hearsay. Senators Chuck Grassley, Mike Lee and Ron Johnson also raised concerns that the whistleblower rules may have been changed. President Trump repeated this claim and put out a statement in all-caps, stating, “WHO CHANGED THE LONG STANDING WHISTLEBLOWER RULES JUST BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF THE FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT? DRAIN THE SWAMP!” However, the office of the Inspector General Mike Atkinson put out a fourpage statement rejecting this argument as false. It stated that firsthand knowledge was never a requirement. Furthermore, the whistleblower process that was used has been on the books for over a year. Lastly, the statement claims that the whistleblower alleges to have firsthand knowledge of events. THE IMPACT: The prompt response of the Inspector General’s office highlights the need for quick and effective communication in today’s fastpaced world. As the impeachment process heats up, there will undoubtedly be mistaken information and misinformation spread by both sides of the debate. Those in the know must get out the facts to the American people as soon as they can. This will help prevent the spread of false theories and arguments so that the electorate can have a real sense of what is transpiring.

It’s fall and there’s a slight chill out. Hashem invites us to spend the week of Sukkos together, ensconced in warmth and togetherness. The changing colors of the trees set a scene that’s striking and dramatic, and the autumn bounty all around us beautifies our yom tov tables. Let the colors and flavors of fall inspire you as you prepare a menu fit for Zman Simchaseinu. The dishes featured here are infused with the tastes and aromas that autumn brings. May this new season herald a flow of shefa and bracha for all of Klal Yisroel. Wishing us all a yom tov that warms and illuminates from the inside out.

SALMON WELLINGTON CIGARS WITH MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE
180 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
I served these with a salad of baby arugula, red onions and rainbow carrot ribbons. The dipping sauce works great doubled as a dressing.
INGREDIENTS 15 oz. semi-rolled sheet of puff pastry, defrosted
1 large onion, finely chopped Oil, for sautĂŠing
1 3-inch slice of fresh salmon, deskinned
8 oz. cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
One egg, beaten
DIRECTIONS 1. Saute onions over medium-high heat until they start to brown. Add mushrooms and saute until onions and mushrooms are nicely browned. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl. 2. To prepare the salmon, season both sides with salt and pepper. Cut into thin 3-inch-long strips. Sear salmon strips on both sides until lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. Set aside. 3. To assemble, preheat oven to 450°. Roll out the puff pastry until quite thin, and cut into 4-inch squares. Place a spoonful of mushrooms in the center of the flaky dough square. Top with a strip of salmon. Roll up tightly. Secure the sides by folding under just a bit. Place seam-side-down on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE INGREDIENTS 2 tsp. mustard
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 T. mayonnaise
2 T. honey
DIRECTIONS Mix all sauce ingredients until smooth.

Salt
1 large butternut squash

Raise the oven temperature to 400°. Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise. Peel turnip and cut in half. Peel pears, cut in half lengthwise and core. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Sprinkle salt on the vegetables. Place squash, turnip and pears on a baking sheet, and roast for 50 minutes. 3. Remove from oven. Scoop out insides of squash and place in a medium-size pot. Add turnip, pears and 5 cups water. Add sage, 1 teaspoon salt and a dash of white pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower and simmer for half an hour. 4. Remove sage. Puree soup with an immersion blender until very smooth. Add coffee whitener and mix to combine.

SANGRIA
184 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Most sangria recipes call for some brandy in addition to the wine. I chose to skip the brandy for a sweeter, lighter sangria.
INGREDIENTS ¼ cup water
2 cups apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
1 Honeycrisp apple, chopped
¼ cup maple syrup
1 green pear, chopped
1 bottle of light Spanish wine; I used Casato ½ an orange, chopped
DIRECTIONS 1. Place water and cinnamon stick in a small pan. Simmer for five minutes. Add maple syrup and cook an additional two minutes. 2. Cool slightly, and then add to a pitcher along with the rest of sangria ingredients. Allow to chill. The longer it gets steeped, the more flavorful it becomes!

B’YOM SIMCHASCHEM Think Sukkos, and visions of crisp fall temperatures and warm fur capes come to mind. In contrast to the outdoor chill, we want to create a sukkah that’s an oasis of warmth and coziness. This sukkah scene is meant to portray exactly that. From the golden warmth of the elegant chairs to the vibrant flowers, guests will feel nestled in an aura that defies the outdoor chill. Coordinating tables and chairs can really enhance the ambiance. The chairs featured are available for rent at HS Events. The gold-accented dishes complete the look and are available at Auction Mart.

FLOWER PANEL
The literal meaning of hiddur mitzvah is the beautification of a mitzvah. Those are actions that glorify our yomim tovim and add pep to our step as we channel our creativity toward designing splendid sukkah decor. This flower panel can be customized to your size and taste. You can switch it up and create a horizontal border around the entire sukkah, or even a panel for each wall!
October 10, 2019 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 187 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
STEP 2
YOU WILL NEED:
If your grids come folded, flatten them with a heavy object so they’re easier to work with.
4 23”x16” flower grids Approximately 112 flowers — it’s best to buy them in bunches Glue gun and glue sticks
STEP 1 It all starts with gorgeous flowers. You can choose to use one type or mix and match. Choosing my flowers was a joy thanks to the vast selection at Jubilee Party. I went for a combo of lavender peonies and a splash of fuchsia daisies to add interest. Select a color combo that will complement your sukkah decor, your tablescape or both. But ultimately this flower panel is all about art. No need to be specific or follow rules in terms of which flowers you must use or where to place them.
STEP 3 Remove the stem of the flowers until only the part with the small opening remains, as shown.
STEP 4
STEP 5
Plug the flower heads into the protruding caps on the grid.
Spread out the flower petals to increase surface area, and secure with glue gun. Don’t leave too many gaps, or the wall will look sparse. Continue with the remaining flowers. I prefer to use the leaves mainly at the edges, but you can also use them to fill in empty spaces if necessary.
188 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
STEP 6 Continue affixing flowers to remaining grids until you have enough filled grids to form your panel.
STEP 7
STEP 8 Hang the panel in your sukkah, and step back to survey your beautiful work!
Choose fresh flowers for your yom tov table to complement your wall art. I chose a vibrant bunch of fuschia daisies from Blossoms Floral Bar.

On Sukkos, it is a mitzvah to partake in the joy of Simchas Beis Hasho’eivah, as a remembrance of the celebrations during the time of the Beis Hamikdash. Let’s take a peek at the wondrous festivities that accompanied the water-drawing during the glorious days when the Beis Hamikdash stood tall in sheer splendor. 196 / THE MONSEY VIEW
Our Feet Stand in Your Gates, Yerushalayim! The sound of lively, joyous singing gets louder as the throngs draw near. From all sides of the mountain, streaming masses of Yidden make their way up to the heart of the world, the Beis Hamikdash, in honor of the upcoming yom tov. Dressed in their finest, they bask in the majestic aura of the holiest of cities. The pomp and ceremony reveal the deep excitement felt by each and every Yid. It is an excitement for the opportunity to bestow honor upon Hakadosh Baruch Hu in this visit to His Abode, and excitement for the opportunity to soak in the kedushah and inspiration. What a privilege to savor trickles of overflowing bracha that the Beis Hamikdash, the source of all shefa, showers upon us Yidden. They come from as far as Bavel, Alexandria and Athens, and of course, all parts of Eretz Yisroel. Entering the holiest city brings smiles to their faces, and nearing the Makom
Hamikdash is exhilarating. Young and old, rich and poor, the learned and the ignorant — the large variety of Yidden from all walks of life converge upon the “Ir shechubrah lah yachdav,” the city that joins together all Yidden (Tehillim 122:3). Coming at once to our Father’s Dwelling causes everyone to feel true kinship with one another, regardless of the varying backgrounds or modes of dress. As the Gemara Yerushalmi terms it, “a city wherein all Yidden become friends” (Yerushalmi Chagigah 3:6). Here, at this most sanctified spot in the entire world, every Yid wishes to replenish his spiritual nourishment. The Beis Hamikdash towers majestically over the city. Even the nations of the world feast their eyes on its splendor. The structure’s bluish-green marble is reminiscent of ocean waves and generates a feeling of calm. The gates are coated in gold. Adorned by

Songs of Ascents Why did Dovid Hamelech compose the fifteen Shir Hamaalos? When excavations at the spot of the mizbe’ach began, the waters that lay deep under the earth began to surge upward, threatening to flood the entire world. Dovid Hamelech inscribed Hashem’s name on a piece of earthenware and threw it into the water. The water immediately began to subside and receded sixteen levels. When Dovid realized that this would cause trouble for the world’s irrigational needs, he composed the fifteen “Songs of Ascents,” increasing the water level with each one until it reached a safe level.
thousands of golden candelabras, flowers and knobs, the décor sparkles in magnificence. The Beis Hamikdash shimmers in an ethereal light. No other structure in the world can compete with its beauty. But what truly makes the Beis Hamikdash stand out in its glory is the kedushah, the love between Hashem and His children that fills up the very air. It is the “Beis Habechirah,” Hashem’s Chosen House. Each time the Yidden are oleh regel, they have the zechus to take part in the avodah in the Beis Hamikdash. The general public stands in the Ezras Yisroel, adjacent to the Ezras Kohanim where the Kohanim offer the korbanos, and the Levi’im praise Hashem with music and song. On the first day of Sukkos, thirteen parim, thirteen bulls, are brought as korbanos, in addition to two rams and fourteen lambs. Every day, the number of bulls is decreased by one. A total of seventy parim are sacrificed, corre-

Yerushalayim, a Built-Up City Even before the guests piled in to be oleh regel, Yerushalayim was already brimming with astounding multitudes of Yidden. The Midrash Eichah Rabbah describes that Yerushalayim during the times of the Beis Hamikdash was comprised of 24 central neighborhoods. Every neighborhood had 24 large streets, each of which had 24 smaller streets, and each of these encompassed 24 even smaller streets. Every one of the smallest streets had 24 courtyards, and each courtyard housed 24 “batei av” — large extended families. Computing these numbers boggles the mind — to think of how many Yidden took up residence in Yerushalayim! Eretz Yisroel is an “eretz tzvi,” like the skin of a deer. As long as its skin is on its flesh, the deerskin fits. Once removed, however, the skin tightens and cannot be put back on. So it is with Eretz Yisroel. Yerushalayim, in particular, was a city that seemed to stretch. Somehow, the vast amount of residents still managed to make room for the multitudes of Yidden who converged upon the city three times a year to be oleh regel! Logistically, it seems impossible, but the Chasam Sofer explains on the words, “Velo amar adam l’chaveiro tzar li hamakom she’alin b’Yerushalayim” (Avos 5:5), that in their deep love of Hashem and joy at being able to be oleh regel, no one complained — despite the lack of space. And, so too, in the Beis Hamikdash, the Yidden “stood crowded and bowed down spaciously” (ibid.). Yes, it was truly an event that stretched beyond nature.

sponding with the seventy nations of the world. The times of aliyah l’regel also pose an opportunity for the Sanhedrin, situated in the Lishkas Hagazis, to publicize decisions and rulings for all of Klal Yisroel to hear. Once every seven years, the mitzvah of Hakhel is performed on Sukkos. The king reads from the Torah, and the entire nation — men, women and children — gather to listen. Then comes the highlight of the Sukkos pilgrimage to the Beis Hamikdash: the Simchas Beis Hasho’eivah. It is the climax of such intense joy, that if someone would say “chag” without specifying which one, it would be self-understood that he is referring to Sukkos.
ושאבתם מים בששון ממעיני הישועה All eyes are on the young Kohanim as they nimbly inch up the four ladders that rest against the candelabras standing at a height of 50 amos. They carry jugs large enough to hold 24 lug of oil (roughly 2.2 to 3.8 gallons), which they pour into four golden bowls at the top. Large, strong wicks made of worn-out linen pants and belts previously worn by Kohanim are placed inside the bowls of oil. The Kohanim light the candelabras, and all of Yerushalayim is bathed in a dazzling bright light that makes it seem as if it is in the middle of the day. There isn’t a courtyard in all of Yerushalayim that does not reflect the brightness. If a woman would stand outside her home, she could even check her grain by its light. As the brightness casts its glow upon the assembled, the crowds mirror its intensity, erupting in lively song led by the Levi’im. PREPARATIONS for the grand Simchas Beis Hasho’eivah in the Beis Hamikdash begin at nightfall, as the first day of Sukkos comes to a close. A flurry of activity in the Ezras Nashim accompanies the renovations. Large metal struts are attached to specific spots alongside the walls, expressly designated for this purpose. Wooden boards are laid upon the beams, creating elaborate balconies for the women alongside the southern, eastern and northern sides of the courtyard. The men stand on the floor of the azarah below. Miraculously, despite its modest size of 187 amos by 135 amos (approximately 294 by 212 feet), tens of thousands of enthusiastic Yidden fit inside. Anticipation mounts. Everyone waits for just this moment, having made the trek from near and far to take part in these once-a-year festivities. Finally, the Levi’im burst into a symphony of lively, heartfelt song, playing harps, violins, lyres, cymbals, trumpets, as well as other instruments. It is a band that resounds in joyous unison. As they stand on the
fifteen wide, rounded steps that correspond to the fifteen Shir Hamaalos, they sing those songs of praise and joy. Chassidim v’anshei maaseh dance spiritedly, holding burning torches and joining in the songs of praise. Talmidei chachamim express their intense joy by juggling and performing impressive acrobatic feats. Roshei yeshivah and members of the Sanhedrin clap and sing, displaying pure, unadulterated ecstasy. The nasi Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel used to juggle eight burning torches with one hand. He tossed one and caught one, in quick succession, and not once did one torch touch another. Only the chachamim and distinguished Yidden are worthy of dancing; the general populace watches in awe. And even as the hour gets late, they are still glued to the sights, taking it all in. The visual impact of the Simchas Beis Hasho’eivah is inspiring; the urge to take part in the rejoicing is irresistible. It isn’t for nothing that the Gemara specifically says, “Mi shelo ra’ah simchas beis hasho’eivah, lo ra’ah simchah miyamav” (Sukkah 51). Seeing the joy is the very highest form of experiencing it. The celebrations continue throughout the night, gathering momentum as morning approaches. Two Kohanim stand at the Upper Gate, the Shaar Nikanor, atop the fifteen steps, silver trumpets in their hands. As dawn breaks, they blow — tekiah, teruah, tekiah — and begin to descend. At the tenth step, they pause and blow again. At the bottom, they sound the trumpets once more. They continue until they reach the gate that leads out to the east. Here, they turn around and face the Beis Hamikdash, sound twelve blasts, and call out, “We belong to Hashem, and our eyes are turned toward Hashem!” A large procession follows the Kohanim out to the Shiloach Spring, in the valley south of the Har Habayis.
ADORNED BY THOUSANDS OF GOLDEN CANDELABRAS, FLOWERS AND KNOBS, THE DÉCOR SPARKLES IN MAGNIFICENCE. THE BEIS HAMIKDASH SHIMMERS IN AN ETHEREAL LIGHT. The Kohanim fill a golden pitcher with three lug (roughly 4.4 to 7.6 cups) of fresh water from the spring, and this water will be poured onto the mizbe’ach after the daily Korban Tamid of Shacharis. Drawing the water awakens such extreme awareness of Hakadosh Baruch Hu that the people draw Ruach Hakodesh along with the water. This transforms the occasion into the epitome of simcha. Yonah Hanavi is one of those who attained levels of Ruach Hakodesh and nevuah merely from taking part in the spirit of joy surrounding the drawing of the water. The waters of the Shiloach Spring are known as “mayanei ha’yeshuah,” waters of salvation, for they are used to anoint the kings of Malchus Beis David. The procession turns around and retraces its steps back to the Beis Hamikdash. As they arrive at the Shaar Hamayim — a special gate opened only once a year, for this occasion — the Kohanim blast again — tekiah, teruah, tekiah! One Kohen ascends the ramp of the mizbe’ach and turns to his left, where two silver bowls lie. Each one has a hole at the bottom for the liquid to flow through. The bowl with the wider hole is intended for wine, which trickles more slowly, and the bowl with the narrower opening is used for the water. This way, both bowls can empty at the same speed. Throughout the year, every kor-
ban is accompanied by libations of wine. On Sukkos, water is poured as well, in the unique mitzvah of Nisuch Hamayim. The Korban Tamid is offered, and then the wine and water are poured. The celebrations last about fifteen and a half hours straight, and everyone remains spellbound throughout. Men, women and children are all so entranced by the sights that they don’t feel the hours passing. On each consecutive day of Sukkos, the celebrations are repeated, aside from on Shabbos (and the first day of yom tov, when the Nisuch Hamayim is not accompanied by music and song). Instead, the waters are prepared prior to Shabbos and stored in a golden vessel in the Beis Hamikdash. Reb Yehoshua ben Chananya described how during all the days of the water-drawing, “Our eyes saw no sleep.” Between wakeful nights of song and dance; the korbanos, Torah and tefillah; a short break for food; and then celebrations once again, there is simply no time to sleep! Bnei beischa k’vatchilah... How we yearn for the time when the Kohanim will return to their avodah, the Levi’im to their song, and all of Klal Yisroel will be granted the opportunity to bow down to You, three times a year, in Your chosen spot.

The Schlesinger brothers and their arba When minim is a partnership that goes way back conversin time. Growing up, their family lived ing with Rabacross the street from two arba minim bi Schlesinger, dealers. Before Sukkos, lines of people would stand at their door to partner in the Achim ask their father sheilos about their Schlesinger esrogim arba minim, and they imbibed the business, it's easy to realchavivas hamitzvah all throughout ize that dealing in esrogim is their childhood. Naturally, they a labor of love. “With esrogim, gravitated to this field years later. there's a special chavivus hamAchim Schlesinger started itzvah, a geshmak,” he says to exout humbly about twenty years plain why Yidden will spend lots ago. As a yungerman, one of the of money and effort to find that brothers was unsuccessful in perfect esrog. I ask him for his searching for an esrog one Erev Sukkos, until he asked an esrog take, as an esrog dealer, on this dealer to help him find one. He nationwide fondness of this mitzsoon got involved in this man's vah. “Maybe it's because of the store, helping him manage it, deep remazim associated with this and then finally took over the mitzvah — the arba minim repreoperation when the man left the field. Today, the Schlesinger sent the different parts of the brothers run arba minim stores in person, and the esrog, above every major community in New all, is compared to the York — Boro Park, Williamsburg, heart.” Monsey and Monroe — as well as a small store in Lakewood.

THE DIFFERENT ESROG TYPES Like a proud father showing off his sons, Rabbi Schlesinger speaks passionately about the different types of esrogim available and their unique characteristics. There are seven main types of esrogim on the market, he explains. The first is the Moroccan esrog that hails from Morocco, of course, and was famously favored by the Satmar Rav. The Williamsburg Satmar community almost exclusively uses this esrog. It is generally expensive, as the costs involved in traveling to Morocco and finding proper accommodations are steep. A Moroccan esrog can easily cost $2,000, and on more than one occasion, has sold for $5,000! The second is known as the Yaneve esrog from Italy. This esrog is used by the general chassidish crowd, and it is also usually an expensive esrog. Then there is the famous Chazon Ish esrog. These esrogim are from trees grown from the original esrog used by the Chazon Ish. This esrog gained its status
as extra-mehudar by the Litvish community as it derives from an esrog that the Chazon Ish himself used for a bracha, which was surely completely kosher and not murkav — from mixed breed — which is halachically prohibited. This esrog also carries a special nevuah and promise of the Chazon Ish that it is not murkav. The original Chazon Ish esrog was replanted by two talmidim in his garden, which has led to the naming of the two strains of the Chazon Ish esrog: Rav Yehudah Lefkowitz and Rav Halpern. Rabbi Schlesinger explains why obtaining non-murkav esrogim is a real challenge. Breeding a mix of fruits produces more handsome fruit and is therefore a popular agricultural choice. Esrogim, which may not be of mixed breed, require a hechsher, as without supervision it may well be from a murkav breed. The fourth category is called Esrogei Eretz Yisroel. Eretz Yisroel's fruits have always been prized, so this bears no introduction. This esrog is popularly used in the Belz and Viznitz communities. This esrog sells at an average of $100 to $200. The fifth type is the Teimani
October 10, 2019 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 207 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
(Yemenite) esrog, which originated in Yemen and was then replanted in Eretz Yisroel. It is believed that the Brisker Rav made a bracha on the Teimani esrog. This was his favored esrog as it derived from wild, untamed orchards in Yemen, which could seemingly not have
Lubavitch Israeli community of Kfar Chabad. It is a nice breed and used by other chassidim as well. The seventh esrog is the Maharil Diskin esrog. This esrog, originally used by the Maharil Diskin of Yerushalayim, was also replanted by two talmidim, Rav Braverman and Rav Kivelevitz.
REAPING THE FRUITS Now we know a little about the fruit — but what about the labor? The arba minim business rolls into motion in midsummer. It is then that the Schlesinger brothers spend several weeks in Eretz Yisroel, where they visit orchards run by heimishe Yidden and order several thousand esrogim. The Schlesinger brothers primarily sell Teimani, Chazon Ish and Eretz Yisroel esrogim, which bear the hechsherim of Badatz Yerushalayim, the Belzer beis din, Rav Wosner or Rav Nissim Karelitz. The order arrives to the U.S. roughly one week before Selichos.
ONE FRUIT, DIFFERENT FLAVORS
been murkav. However, anyone in the know is also aware that the Brisker Rav, in true Brisker fashion, actually purchased a variety of esrogim for the bracha, in hopes that at least one of them was completely kosher. The sixth type of esrog is the Kfar Chabad esrog. This esrog originated in Italy and was replanted in the

What makes an esrog beautiful? There are various parameters for an esrog's beauty, depending on where you come from and what you prize. Often, the Litvish community will consider a clean and unblemished esrog the prime choice, while there are many who are particular about straight, symmetrical edges. While an esrog should halachically be yellow, it is often green when purchased and turns yellow by the beginning of yom tov. The arba minim famously represent four different kinds of Yidden, as well as the different parts of the human body. The esrog is an apt metaphor for the human heart, but perhaps it is also representative of the different strains and flavors in the Jewish world. The variety and diverse preferences of esrogim is a microcosm of our diverse, eclectic nation. All of its groups are beautiful in their unique way. But the esrog also highlights the place where Yidden all meet: in our love for mitzvos. The geshmak for the mitzvah of arba minim and the search for the perfect esrog are expressions of a Yid’s love for Hashem and His commands. It is here — in that search for our esrog, different as it may be — that we are really all the same. Here we all unite, and our differences fall away. And that is certainly beautiful.

ad I met the tall, muscular fellow in the street back home, I would have simply crossed the street and walked away without a backward glance, but now I couldn’t do that. First, he was talking enthusiastically before I had even registered his presence. And second, there was no other side of the street! We were standing on a quiet country road in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. I had snatched a few minutes in the busy pre-camp days to take a stroll with my two teenage sons. Our expectations weren’t grand; all we sought was some quiet time in the green embrace of nature. As it turned out, we got a lot more than we bargained for! “So, guys, are you here for my exhibit?” the man asked, his roiling French accent evident in every syllable. My two yeshivah boys, who had never before been called “guys” and didn’t quite know what to do with the unfamiliar nametag, simply shrugged and smiled. But the man — who introduced himself as Pierre — had no issue speaking for all three of them. “Good to see you! Just follow me for the tour of a lifetime!”
214 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 10, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Mendy quirked an eyebrow in my direction, waiting for permission. Chezky, my mischievous son who could never turn down a chance for adventure, was already following Pierre into a gated enclosure. It looked tantalizing and altogether mysterious, but I was on the alert. As I waved Mendy on, I quickly called my husband for emergency backup. I was grateful when he picked up on the first ring. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Dovid asked, trying to decipher my jumbled words. “The boys followed someone — a tall stranger wearing a straw hat — into his house?!” “Yes, just come!” I replied, peeking through the slats of the white gate. “I mean, no. No! They didn’t go into his house. They just went into
his — his — um, exhibit. Just a fiveminute walk from our colony.” Dovid swung over in our newly leased car (for a quick getaway, he said) and confidently strode onto the man’s property. And what a sight it was! The courtyard was enclosed by decorative white fences that let the sunlight in, yet managed to create an oasis of solitude. Inside, there was a tremendous expanse of cobblestone walkways, winding their way alongside an exhibit of the most fascinating clay sculptures. “Clay?” Pierre laughed when I said something to that effect. His straw hat jiggled from the force of his amusement. “That’s a good one! You call this clay, huh?” I was too polite to reiterate my opinion, but Chezky seemed per-
N I E D RI LE Y T S START YOUR CAR FROM THE COMFORT OF ANYWHERE. #yourcarpersonalgiveitapersonaltouch
fectly at ease as he insisted, “It’s clay, just like the Play-Doh that my sisters use all summer long.” That comment elicited a fresh burst of laughter, which culminated in Pierre vehemently explaining that these sculptures and “things” were created from the finest of materials, which could withstand rain, sun, sleet and hail. “It’s strong and durable,” he said. “Take any of these sculptures, and heat them in the Sahara or freeze them in Antarctica… and they won’t crack. Do you know what people are ready to pay for my creations?” I didn’t know. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the fine details etched into each artistic piece. There were lifelike replicas of birds and flowers, and there was a tall structure that looked remarkably like the Eiffel Tower — which Pierre proudly confirmed was a precise reproduction, true to scale. “I live in France,” he explained. Chezky laughed. “Looks like you’re right here, sir. Deep in the New York Catskills.” Pierre gently nudged the Eiffel Tower back into place and then clapped Chezky on his shoulder. “I live there. Always have, probably always will. I travel to New York for the summer season to display my sculptures. These exhibits bring in a pretty penny, and I’ve already made an impressive number of sales this season.” “So you come for business?” Mendy asked. “Well,” drawled the broad-shouldered Frenchman. “Can’t say that would be fully accurate. I mean, back home I earn more than double than I do here. I’m a commissioned artist, you know.” We didn’t know, but we weren’t about to wear our ignorance on our sleeves! So we all just nodded and smiled as if we met “commissioned artists” on a regular basis. “I come specifically here because I — uh — I like the people in this place,” he said, looking suddenly uncomfortable. The straw hat did a little dance in his hands as he twirled it this way and that. “You like the people,” Chezky repeated with a glint in his eye that told me something good was coming. “People like me, right?” Pierre didn’t laugh, as I thought he would. He merely nodded and said, “Exactly. I like people like you. You remind me of myself. “You know, my father — may he rest in peace — he was a good man,” Pierre said. “A very good man. I respected him more than you can imagine. He always had the right thing to say to people with questions, people who were looking for the truth. We lived way out in a small French village, but there were great things happening in our home.” Pierre sighed. It was disconcerting to see this big, successful artist getting lost in a sea of childhood nostalgia. “I don’t know how they all discovered our ad-

dress. Jews from every corner of the country landed at our doorstep, and my father knew how to reach their hearts. Their pure neshamah, as he called it.” “Your parents were religious Jews?” Dovid asked. Pierre looked down. His artsy clogs, probably glorified with a French name and price tag to match, tapped the cobblestones to the tune of his memories. He couldn’t — or wouldn’t — meet Dovid’s eyes. “It’s a long story,” Pierre finally said. “A painful story. I — I made mistakes, a whole lot of them. I was young and headstrong, and I thought I knew better than everyone else. Fool that I was…” Mendy started backing away. He was always very uncomfortable with displays of emotion — positive or otherwise. Chezky, on the other hand, seemed to come alive at the challenge that big, brawny Pierre presented. “I’m sure your father would be happy to hear you

say that,” Chezky said, smiling encouragingly at him. Pierre clenched his fists. “He is,” he said. “He is happy.” This put a different spin on things. Pierre wasn’t just talking the talk — he was actually walking the walk, or so it seemed. “That’s great!” Chezky enthused as only a 14-year-old boy can. “I mean, it’s wonderful that you’re making your father happy now, after that whole long story you don’t want to share with us.” Pierre laughed despite himself. “No tricks, young man. If I tell you the story won’t be told, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s staying right here, where it belongs.” He thumped his chest for emphasis. “But my Tatte is happy. Yep. I know that now, when he’s way up there, he can hear every word I’m saying.” Ouch. There was a joint intake of breath as we realized that our visions of happy reunions and rosy family ties would forever remain just that — wispy visions. “It’s been a few months since he passed on,” Pierre continued. “A few long, hard months. I never thought it would come to this. That — that — I…” His eyes glinted with unshed tears, and Pierre swiped at them in a futile attempt to keep them hidden. “It’s just… too late. Too late. You know how awful these words are? They hit me in the face every morning when I wake up to face a new day. They
whisper in my ears every night when I contemplate what a fool I’ve been…” Too late. Too late. The words bounced around in the magnificent, sun-dappled courtyard. Dovid grabbed them by their stinging tails and forcefully crushed them to bits. “There’s no such thing,” he said quietly, yet ever so confidently. “As Yidden, we know that the concept of ‘too late’ does not exist.” “He’s gone,” Pierre said flatly. “Gone! I had so many plans. I knew that one day — one day, I would come back. I would make him proud! He was — is — my Tatte. Do you know how he cried when I left? You have no idea. Those words — oh, those words...” Mendy and Chezky stared silently. I felt uncomfortable and surreptitiously edged away, standing at a generous distance as Pierre gingerly lifted the curtain of his past. “He told me, ‘Pinchas! Du vest eibig zein mein kind!’ You hear?! That’s what he said. He said that I will always be his child. Now, no matter how far I’ve wandered, I know that I am Tatte’s son. I am his child. But I thought I would come back someday. Now… now it’s too late.” Those words again! Dovid didn’t let them linger in the air. “Pierre — Pinchas — it’s not too late. Your Tatte is up there, and he’s listening to your every word. He’s waiting for you!” Pierre’s face had shuttered. He was moving away… away from the young Pinchas who had a father and a mother. Away from the little boy who knew that his Tatte would always be waiting for him to come home. Swiftly, before the moment fizzled into nothingness, Dovid took out his pocket siddur and thumbed through the pages. “Here,” he said. “For your Tatte.” Pierre was taken aback. “You want to test my Hebrew reading?”
he asked, half in jest. “This is something you can do for him,” Dovid persisted. “You’re an only son, I assume?” Pierre nodded. “So no one else in the entire world can give your father this gift,” my husband continued. “Only you. Your Tatte has been waiting these past few months for someone to say Kaddish for his neshamah. You can do that, Pierre.” I held my breath. It seemed that all of creation was holding its breath as the man with the straw hat took the little siddur and brought it close to his face. He squinted, and then cleared his throat. This wasn’t going
day, but not before begging Dovid to visit Pierre and nudge him along. “Tell him there’s a minyan at our colony every morning,” Chezky urged. “He can borrow your tefillin and say Kaddish every day.” “Invite him for Shabbos,” Mendy suggested. “I’m sure he’ll want to come.” But Pierre didn’t take us up on our repeated invitations. He promised to come to shul… and didn’t show up. Every Shabbos there was a different “important festival” that he simply “had to attend.” It was only the last week of the summer, when we were already packing our summer experience into cardboard boxes, that Pierre resurfaced. Dovid dropped by for a final visit, and it was obvious that Pierre had been waiting for him. “Oh, there you are,” he called out with his distinct French accent. “I have something for you.” Dovid heard him dragging something heavy along the cobblestone path, bumping it gently step by step. “Here you go,” Pierre said finally, propping up the tremendous sculpture for my startled husband to admire. The lifelike replica of the arba minim was breathtaking. Pierre had painted it carefully, with shaded greens and yellows, to create the perfect look. They were both silent, listening to torrents of words that would forever remain unspoken. At last, Pierre said, “Give it to your sons. The yeshivah boys. Tell them that… that I’m going back to France, but part of me will be sitting with them in your sukkah. I remember learning that the sukkah protected us in the desert, right?” Dovid nodded, not trusting himself to speak. “I’m still stuck in my personal desert, but part of me… is in your sukkah,” he said quietly. “You’re a great host.”
“Pierre – Pinchas – it’s not too late. Your Tatte is up there, and he’s listening to your every word. He’s waiting for you!”

to be easy. When those first few words wafted through the silent courtyard, it was simultaneously uplifting and heart-wrenching. Chezky was uncharacteristically silent as he closed his eyes and let the heilige words wash over him. I peeked at Mendy who was leaning against the fence, his mouth set in a hard line as he clamped down on his whirling emotions. There wasn’t much to say as Pierre choked out the last few words. Solemnly, Dovid and the boys shook his hand in wordless acknowledgment of his courage and strength. He had taken his first step in the right direction. There were murmured promises of “we’ll be back to visit” and “can’t wait to see you again.” Pierre stood at the entrance to his courtyard exhibit, looking after us as we walked back to our bungalow colony, so blessedly alive with the sounds and sights of Yiddishkeit. The boys left to camp the next

“It’ll be totally redundant — I’ll toil to create a seven-layer dessert, and then Chaya Sury will arrive with a fifteen-layer masterpiece.” Sukkos is around the corner, and I’m brainstorming for an idea of something that will blow my mother-in-law away. My husband strokes his newly purchased esrog while acting as my sounding board. “You can probably get away with something small. Shanah rishonah, ich veis.” He’d prefer to save himself this huge headache, I know. But I really must come up with something. We always joke that creativity is one of the things my motherin-law looks for in a daughterin-law; each of her son’s wives is extremely talented and possesses real artistic flair. My mother-in-law herself was a grand event planner until it was impossible to keep up with running a household and being on the run 24/7. Come yom tov, however, her tablescape rivals a magazine centerfold. From flowers to dishes and food presentation, whatever she touches turns to gold. And because she is so into the decor, all of her daughters-in-law do their
224 / THE MONSEY VIEW
utmost to impress her by bringing their talent to the table, too. Observing the dynamics as a newcomer to the family, I believe that beneath the veneer of perfection and the it’s-no-bigdeal attitude, what all of us are really aiming for is to outdo one another. Chaya Sury always brings the latest trends in the baking industry. And that’s no surprise; she runs her own patisserie. Rivky sews her children’s clothes and jackets — and nobody competes with her. Gitty takes care of the annual yom tov gift and wraps it magnificently, and Minky is always appreciated for setting everyone’s sheitlach. That leaves me with an uber-strong desire to prove myself too. My husband looks up from caressing his new baby, his flawless esrog. “You’re so creative and gifted with your hands. Why don’t you do something along those lines? It doesn’t have to be food.” He carefully wraps the esrog in its foam and returns it to a high shelf in the curio chest. He’s right. As a kallah I designed a beautiful wall hanging to be hung in my in-law’s foyer.
It wasn’t the ready-made, follow-the-instructions kind of kit. From start to finish, I designed the tapestry myself. Metallic threads and strands in shades of blue juxtaposed to create a breathtaking ocean scenery. The water seemed to shimmer with lapping waves. Clouds that one could almost touch hovered lazily over the ocean. It was magnificent. And I knew then that I’d aced it, because had my mother-in-law not loved it, she would never have displayed it in her entranceway as prominently as she did. She would’ve found a very polite way to rave about how it’s “absolutely perfect for the basement guestroom,” much like she did when the Brauns, her Israeli guests, presented her with a shivas haminim painting. “I know what I’m going to do,” I suddenly exclaim, “a chandelier! I’ve seen many DIY tutorials, and I can so see your mother appreciating something like that!” “We’ve only got a few days before yom tov,” my husband cautions, “but if you think it’s doable, then I’m all for it.” Knowing that the creation will involve an all-nighter, I
sketch a pattern right away. With a few strokes, I design an intricate chandelier with a rounded open body and six golden branches extending from its center. To soften the effect, I add tiny metallic leaves that appear to be sprouting from each branch and complete my sketch with sockets where I’d place incandescent vintage bulbs. I put my pencil down and marvel at the outline. Dreamlike. Pleased, I compile a list of everything I need from The Home Depot. The next morning, I leave home early and stop at The Home Depot before work. I feel out of place, like I walked into the men’s side of a simcha. The store is packed with bachurim and men buying sukkah-building paraphernalia. Up and down the aisles I go, my cart quickly filling up. The only thing I haven’t located yet is the glue. Elmer’s won’t do the trick here. An orange-clad employee, with “More Saving. More Doing.” emblazoned in white on his apron, asks if I need help. “Where can I find a glue with a strong-enough hold for glitter?” I ask. He leads me to the back of the store where big buckets of glue are displayed. If not for the type of store I am in, they could easily be mistaken for milk bottles. “This is it, miss. It’s strong and dries fast — like Krazy Glue!” The price is exorbitant, but I have no intention of skimping on what will account for the most important part of my artwork. I thank the employee and head to the self-checkout. That very night I get to work. Employing materials and colors that are aesthetically appropriate for my in-law’s gorgeous sukkah, I start creating the actual fixture. First I form the
body of the chandelier. Then I twist wires I dipped in highquality glitter tightly around the branches. Hours pass as I meticulously glue and perfect, twist and measure. The night is over by the time the tiny gold leaves are strategically added for a final touch. I step back to admire my work. Mess notwithstanding, it is breathtaking. And despite my husband’s quasi-disapproving glance at the clock when he wakes up to daven k’vasikin, ev-
My hopes and expectations are not dashed. As soon as I walk into the house, a circle of admirers surrounds me. I’ve never seen my mother-in-law beam like this. As per her instructions, my handy brother-in-law gets a ladder, and before I know it, my spectacular creation is hanging above the splendidly set table. Every few minutes, I spy my mother-in-law staring upward. Before I know it, yom tov is here and the extended family is seated around the sukkah table. We bask in each others’ company, huddling together cozily in the beautiful sukkah. I catch a glimpse of my mother-in-law’s face. She’s glowing. A lot. I look at her again and see it’s more than the nachas-glow of having her children around her. Uneasily, I look up. My qualms are confirmed. Yes, my handmade beautiful chandelier is softly showering us with a glittery rainfall. Soon the men’s and women’s headgear are coated with a fine dusting of glitter. The tablecloth casts a gold shimmer, too. Not knowing where to look, I look down, embarrassed, but it does not help at all — glitter is swarming dizzily in my bowl of soup. Suddenly, Chaya Sury jabs me in my ribs. “Don’t feel bad. It only enhances the experience.” Oh my. It must be that obvious. She flicks some glitter off her index finger. “You think this is bad? I got engaged a few days before Sukkos and worked for days on petit fours for Ari’s ushpizin. When I brought it over on Erev Sukkos, I discovered that
I feel out of place, like I walked into the men’s side of a simcha. The store is packed with bachurim and men buying sukkahbuilding paraphernalia. erything is superb. I can barely wait to see my mother-in-law’s reaction. My creation, I am positive, will be the talk of the town. Being that our humble abode doesn’t boast space for a sukkah, a few days later finds my husband and myself packing up to move in with my in-laws for yom tov. Transporting the contraption is no picnic. It doesn’t even fit into a car in one piece, and there’s no way I’m offering to disassemble it. The fun starts when we hoof it to my in-laws, balancing the chandelier atop our suitcases and bags for the full 30-minute walk. Heads turn at the walking chandelier, but I venture on, knowing that the look of admiration on my mother-in-law’s face will make it worth the while.

his name is Aryeh, and not Aharon — ” “And do you remember when I set the shvigger’s sheitel for the first time?” Minky adds. “I must’ve used static guard instead of hairspray or something, because the wig looked like a pancake right after she bentched licht. I remember begging her to change into something else! And guess what? She trusted me with her wig again! We all have our mistakes and flops. Welcome to the club!” Rivky and Gitty also share their stories. My mother-in-law turns around. “None of us are spared. You girls [that’s what she calls us] weren’t yet part of the family at that point, but when I did a massive Shabbos sheva brachos for the wealthy Reiners, I put all my energy into the floral centerpieces. They were gorgeous! But in my busyness I completely forgot to add water to the vases. You can only imagine how sad the flowers were at the Shabbos morning meal!” Everyone has their gaffes to share. It was comforting. Sorrow shared is indeed sorrow halved. Just a bit of empathy, and I was already feeling a whole lot better. And that’s when I realize that it’s not about outdoing or proving ourselves to a perceived competition. Our joy in creating is, in essence, in the opportunity to do what we enjoy, just because we enjoy it — and appreciating each others’ creations too. Because nothing comes close to the camaraderie and warmth of family in a charmingly decorated sukkah, especially when the warmth emanates from the heart.

AN EXPLOSION OF CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN BUSINESSES AND THE MARKETING COMMUNITY IS COMING TO BROOKLYN.
It’s that time of year again, when summer’s blazes begin to relent and grudgingly make way for autumn’s hesitant first breezes. The unique sounds of Tishrei are everywhere. Hammers bang, chickens squawk, shops are packed, babies cry, and the traffic — oh, the traffic! There’s honking, beeping and shouting. Sirens blare, and school buses and trucks compete for insufficient road space. Riding on the heels of summer, two months of relative quiet, the noise seems deafening. Boro Park’s avenues swarm with people. The stores are selling back-to-school items alongside metallic sukkah decorations. Music booms. Tables laden with esrogin and lulavim are spread out all over the avenue and manned by an eclectic mix of vendors. From somewhere, I don’t know from where, shofar blasts are heard — loud, unrelenting, whining sounds. People are lugging huge pieces of wood, blue tarps and whatnot for their sukkahs. This is 13th Avenue’s finest hour. I turn the corner and walk down the quieter side streets. I observe sukkah after sukkah being put up, many of them with relative ease. A smile springs up on my face as I remember the sukkah of my childhood: the difficulties, the happy moments and the comical situations that building our almostimpossible-to-construct sukkah involved.
230 / THE MONSEY VIEW
Every year, as Sukkos slowly drew near, and then suddenly — almost unexpectedly — made her grand entrance right behind the awe of Rosh Hashanah and the solemnity of Yom Kippur, the discussions in our home centered around one topic: The Sukkah. My brothers, young bachurim, would sit and discuss sukkah-building strategies, as if they were taking apart a blatt Gemara. New ideas were chewed over, expounded upon, debated and then tossed away for their utter impracticality. There was no easy way to build our sukkah. There was only one way — the very hard way. As yom tov approached, my mother would become anxious. “If women were to build the sukkah,” she paraphrased her friend, “it would have long been in the freezer!” Her practical nature could not understand the mysterious, baffling methods that building our sukkah entailed. “This year, we’ll build a large porch off the back bedroom for our sukkah!” she’d suggest every year again. (The porch never happened.) Or, “This year, we’ll go to a hotel for Sukkos.” (We never went.) My father always wanted to be home. His precious sukkah was (and still is) a sparkling slice of Gan Eden for him. And we happily stayed home. And Sukkos in our beloved sukkah was beautiful. We built our sukkah in our crooked city backyard. A hulking wooden shed called “the garage” leaned against the back gate that separated our yard from the neighbors’ like a stuffed muddy elephant, frozen in time. The rest of the backyard was a jumble of overgrown weeds and soil peeking through jagged rocks. The boys spent many hours sweating in the sun, adjusting the floorboards to the unpredictable backyard surface. The sukkah floor was tailor-made with great precision to fit every
bulge and crevice of the floor like interlocking puzzle pieces. And woe if the sukkah had to be moved! Our sukkah (measuring 8 feet by 20 feet) was placed in the middle of the backyard, with no support on either side. The winds would blow without pity, and the very wide walls would sway precariously like tree branches in a storm. We’d hold our breaths, but our walls would hold up with dignity and grace. Our wall panels were a colorful patchwork of neighbors’ and relatives’ donations. They were worn, spent and ridden with holes. Upon building the sukkah, we had to come up with creative ways to attach the panels to one another. There was no space left in them to drill new holes! But our sukkah panels, they stood tall and straight, showing no signs of fatigue or exhaustion — only pride and pleasure at fulfilling their duty as the support of our distinguished abode. And the shlock! Our poor shlock had its share of mishaps and misfortunes over the years. Erecting our shlock took more time and effort than building the entire sukkah. For several years, we tried everything, from manually rolling up the tarp (with two people on two different ladders getting up on either side
to partly roll it up, and then getting down and back up again...), to putting up triangular frames for the shlock to rest on (but the shlock ripped on yom tov, pouring buckets of rain into our sukkah), to no shlock at all (yes, everything got wet). Our sophisticated ideas often caused more trouble than not. Years earlier, it was very different. Sukkah-building was that much more challenging for lack of manpower (most of the boys were not even born yet). I recall the year I stayed home from school to help my father build the sukkah. (Being the oldest has its privileges.) It was one happy little girl who stood in the backyard, thrilled at the chance to spend some time alone with her tatty, and even more thrilled to be home from school. Did I mention that I am not very handy? Did I mention that I inherited my father’s genes? All was quiet that morning; there was no banging or drilling from the neighbors. I was holding two weathered white panels next to each other, and my father drilled them together as I held on tight. We were so proud. The first wall of our sukkah was already in a vertical position. We could do this! Sukkah-building was a cinch!
There was no easy way to build our sukkah. There was only one way — the very hard way.
October 10, 2019 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 231 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a strong gust of wind blew over and slammed the upright sukkah wall onto the floor, pinning us to the ground under the weight of the oversized panels. We did not know what hit us (quite literally). It was hilarious. Tall, lanky Tatty and small, little me crouched under the collapsed white wall. We laughed and laughed. And laughed some more as we extricated ourselves from the mess. We brushed ourselves off. The panels were left in the backyard, we went back inside, and my father returned to what he does best: learning Torah. Cousin Shimon came over that night and tried to help my father get the sukkah up. They stood and spoke divrei Torah for hours. We children had a grand time running around and playing games under the dark sky. Not much sukkah-building got done that night, but fret not. Even in those years, before the boys grew up, we always had a sukkah; sometimes it was built earlier, sometimes later, and sometimes even later. Our sukkah was so beloved. Unlike the easy-to-assemble sukkahs of today, we put in hours of work and made do with less-thanfavorable circumstances and materials. We gave much thought and time to our sukkah and took great pride in our work. And then, at last, when everything was done — the shlock, the decorations, the lights, the Shabbos clocks! (let’s not get started…), the tables, the chairs, the tablecloths, the dishes, the beds (who’s sleeping here, who’s sleeping in Uncle Meir’s sukkah, and who’s sleeping in married Chaim’s sukkah?); when we finally slowed down, relaxed and made Kiddush in our beloved sukkah, we sensed what our father knew, that we were sitting in a miniature Gan Eden. The sukkah’s loving embrace made us feel cherished and secure. We breathed in the heady scents of my mother’s delicious, lovingly cooked food and listened to the enjoyable mingling of various nischaos and zemiros from our neighbors. Our eyes turned upward to gaze through the s’chach at the starry sky, and we happily, sincerely and so gratefully whispered a heartfelt, “Shehecheyanu.” Postscript: My parents recently moved to a new apartment. It’s smaller than their previous apartment, but it has one overwhelming advantage: a driveway with a leveled cement floor!
We’d hold our breaths, but our walls would hold up with dignity and grace.

Musical Families The five commonly recognized families of instruments are brass, string, woodwind, percussion and keyboard.
Hitting the Highest Note The most expensive grand piano really is quite grand, to say the least! This transparent masterpiece, made up entirely of crystal and manufactured by Heintzman & Co., was played just once before it was retired. After all, no player wants to risk cracking this delicate $3.22 million piece!
The world’s most expensive violin, the Vieuxtemps Guarneri, is even older than the good ol’ U.S. of A. Originally manufactured in 1741, it has been played by the most preeminent violinists since then. It recently sold for a price in the $18 million range, though the exact number is undisclosed as is the identity of the buyer. Its anonymous owner has given it on lifetime loan to a famous violinist so the rest of the world can enjoy the unbelievable gamut of sound it is capable of producing.
Whether the Macdonald Stradivarius Viola is considered more expensive is up to you to decide. This prized violin, crafted by the king of strings, Antonio Stradivari, was up for auction in 2014 with a minimum bid of $45 million. No buyer was forthcoming, though.
Another Strad valued at a price above $18 million is the Duport Stradivarius Cello, with a $20 million value tag notwithstanding the dent it bears. Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have asked its first owner, Duport, if he could play the instrument, and then left a dent from his boots on the violin’s body when he mishandled it.

A Modern Stradivarius? The Stradivarius is the most prized violin in the world. What is its secret? The wood that famous violin maker Antonio Stradivari used had grown during the cold period that lasted between 1650 and the early 17th century. These trees had lower density and higher elasticity than other woods and an overall superb tonal quality, since they’d slowly matured during cool summers and long, freezing winters. In recent years, Swiss wood researcher Professor Francis Schwarze discovered two fungi species that decay Norway spruce and sycamore (the two woods used in violin making) to that perfect extent for it to attain amazing tonal quality, resulting in a modern, affordable violin that mimics the sound of the typical Strad. So similar are the sounds, that four fungally treated wood were played in a blind behind-the-curtain test versus a genuine Stradivarius from 1711, and both the jury of experts and the audience at large could not differentiate which was the actual Stradivarius. In fact, the winner for tonal quality was Opus 58 — a treated violin — and the genuine Stradivarius came in second place.
Some Musical Notes
To Play or Not to Play?
A piano has thousands of working parts (8,000 on average), and if even one of them isn’t fully functional, the music is compromised.
The most commonly played instrument is the piano or keyboard. Approximately 21 million Americans have mastered the art.
The harmonica is the best-selling musical instrument across the world.
After the piano, the most commonly played instruments are the guitar, violin, drums and the saxophone.
Harps are generally between 25 and 76 inches tall and have between 15 and 47 strings.
The piano covers the full spectrum of all musical instrument sounds, from below the lowest note of the double bassoon, to above the top note of the piccolo.
About 54 percent of American homes have at least one musical instrument, and 48 percent of American families have at least one member who plays an instrument.
The easiest instrument to master is the ukulele, a four-stringed instrument that is strummed with the fingers. Other instruments that can more easily be mastered (and often learned on one’s own) are the six-stringed guitar, the recorder, piano and the harmonica. Even though the hardest instrument to ace is the violin, also known as fiddle, there are some mighty tricky wind instruments: the french horn, oboe and bagpipe. Then there’s one in the keyboard family, the organ, that also makes it onto the list of the top five toughies
Tehillim’s Background Music We know that Dovid Hamelech played the kinor, strumming a tune as he composed the hallowed words of Tehillim. But what exactly is a kinor? While the exact translation was lost along the way, authorities agree that the modern-day equivalent is a string instrument in the harp and lyre family.

HIKING SAFETY A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT BY COMMUNITY SEARCH AND RESCUE COMMSAR’S DIVISION OF OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
Preparation is just as important as the hike itself. When you’re properly prepared, you’re less likely to run into problems. Before you hike: • Plan your exact route. This involves understanding the trails, how to read a trail map and knowing which route you will be taking. • Predetermine where you ought to be at certain points of the day. • Create an itinerary and share it with someone outside of your group. •Always have a fully charged cellphone. Ideally, you should only hike with a trail map, and a GPS device or GPS equipped phone. • Make sure to have plenty of food and water, wear hiking shoes, and dress appropriately for the weather. Bring along a first aid kit, map and compass or GPS, flashlight, insulation (jacket/raincoat), matches or a lighter, and whistle. • Bring along at least one person. • Add COMMSAR’s number to your contacts
Trail Map Gemach
On the trail: • Always follow official trail markers and do not wander from the trail. • Don’t split your up group • Make sure you have more than enough time to get back before sunset. • For trailside map support and other questions, call 845/833 I-AM-LOST (4265678) If you are lost: • If you find yourself lost stay put. (If you don’t have cell coverage, you can explore the immediate area to try to find a signal.) • Call for help first. Speaking to emergency services and search and rescue comes before family. Preserve your phone battery. • No cellphone coverage? Try SMS in poor reception areas. If it’s nearing night, get warm. Put on extra layers. Build a campfire. If it’s raining, build a makeshift shelter. Stay calm, help is on the way.
New! For your safety, we now have a Trail Map Gemach where you can buy or borrow official NY-NJ Trail Conference maps. Call 845-426-5678 and dial 8. Don’t go into the woods without a map!
