Worth a trip from anywhere On the way from Monsey to Brooklyn: Brocha, why did you choose to shop at The Peppermill in Brooklyn? We could’ve stayed local.
My friends from Brooklyn - and from Monsey, Lakewood and even out of towners! - can’t stop raving about their Peppermill Kallah shopping experience so I wanted to experience it for myself.
No worries good food coming your way!
MOMMY, THANKS FOR COMING ALL THE WAY HERE. IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. NOW I GET WHAT MY FRIENDS WERE TALKING ABOUT.
THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT IDEA. I’M SO GLAD WE CAME. THE STAFF WAS WAS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND REALLY HELPED US MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES.
They do have extraordinary customer service and really worked with us to stay within our budget. Their 20% Kallah discount is beyond any other. i'm so glad we got you kitchenware that’ll last long after your sheva brachos clothes go out of style!
the recipe cards i picked up make me feel less nervous about the cooking and i subscribed to their emails so i'll keep getting cooking ideas even though I won’t be living in Brooklyn.
Simi, we had such a fabulous day. i thought it would be an overwhelming trip but The Peppermill people made it a breeze. I’m so happy to start Brocha off with quality cookware that’s guaranteed, plus she gets a discount her whole shana rishona. It’s definitely worth a trip from ANYWHERE!
Join our Kallah Club for 20% off your kallah order+shana rishona! 718.871.4022 | 5015 16th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11204 | www.thepeppermillinc.com

M&S SHOE REPAIR
MUMOIN CHECK CASHING
(Inbox, Issue 220) Regarding the need for pedestrians to wear reflectors: A car is a potentially deadly piece of equipment — in fact, statistically, it is the deadliest machine in the United States. Cars kill far more people than guns each year, even though there are far fewer cars in America than guns. It can’t be denied that wearing a reflector is of immense benefit to the pedestrian if it helps the drivers see them. Even if the driver is driving poorly, a pedestrian who is not visible won’t feel in the right when she’s struck at 35mph. Nevertheless, the duty of motorists to drive responsibly can’t be overstated. Are you driving too fast for conditions? A. How far ahead of you do your lights allow you to see something darkly colored? B. In how short a distance could you stop without causing the person behind you to hit you? If the answer to B isn’t shorter than the answer to A, you are going too fast. Bears don’t wear reflectors, nor do deer. Downed trees and garbage cans don’t either. Are you passing another motorist on the right because you are running late? Are you using the shoulder as a passing lane? Are you crossing a double yellow line because you’ve decided your need to pass trumps the law? Are you turning a corner without braking? (Did you signal?) Have you taken into consideration Monsey’s new environment?

There are places in Monsey that housed 16 families ten years ago and now literally house 200. Does your speed reflect an environment with hundreds of small children, where it might be difficult to see whether any of them might be appearing between parked cars? Don’t let impatience and reliance on reflector tape turn you into a murderer. There is no missed appointment, simcha, minyan or anything else worth another person’s life. We are taught that a person who leaves on a trip on Friday that could lead him to be mechallel Shabbos is accounted as a mechallel Shabbos in Heaven, even if he makes the trip just fine. We are also taught that a person who takes a loan without knowing how he’ll repay it is considered by Heaven a thief, even if he, in fact, manages to pay the loan back. You do not want to arrive in the next world to find out that Heaven considers you a mass murderer because you drove dangerously, even though you never happened to collide with anyone. A.F.
A DISCREPANCY? (Re: Remembrance, Issue 218) Thanks for a terrific magazine! In the story “Remembrance,” Basya Moses mentions going to shul to say Yizkor several weeks after the passing of her father. It is a universal minhag that Yizkor is not said in the first year, which makes the reader doubt the details of the story… 120 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 3, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
October 3, 2019 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 121 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
R.K. BASYA MOSES RESPONDS: Thank you for bringing up this point. I am aware that a lot of people have a minhag not to say Yizkor for deceased parents in the first year, but in our chassidus, as well as in many other sects, it is a minhag to recite Yizkor also in the first year. Except for the names of the shuls, every detail of the story was true.

KEEP THE SQUIRRELS AWAY Here’s a tip that I wanted to share with those who have awnings with overhanging trees. In order to avoid awning damage caused by squirrels over the winter, consider placing mothballs to keep the squirrels away. When you roll up your awning, stop about a foot from the end, place several mothballs throughout the width of the awning, and then continue rolling up the fabric. In addition, you can place a mothball into a sock and push it into both ends of the metal pipe. F.B.

(6.) Be righteous. It says in this week’s parsha, “V’Noach matza chein b’einei Hashem. Eileh toldos Noach, Noach ish tzaddik… — But Noach found favor in the eyes of Hashem. These are the generations of Noach; Noach was a tzaddik.” The Sfas Emes explains that Noach had chein because he was a tzaddik.

Be a beautiful you.
(7.) Have yiras Shamayim. The Gemara says that any person who has chein is a yarei Shamayim (Sukkah 49b). In addition to the seven paths toward acquiring chein enumerated by Rav Biderman above, R’ Chaim Shmulevitz, zt”l, in Sichos Mussar (Ma’amar 4) lists two more methods for attaining chein. We can add them to our list: (8.) Be humble. It says in Mishlei (3:34), “And to the humble, He grants chein.” (9.) Learn Torah. In Mishlei (5:19) there is an allusion that Torah inspires chein. I will add a tenth item to our list: (10.) Pursue chesed and emes. It says in Mishlei, “Chesed v’emes al ya’azvucha… um’tza chein v’seichel tov b’einei Elokim v’adam — Kindness and truth shall not leave you. Bind them upon your neck, inscribe them upon the table of your heart, and find chein and good understanding in the eyes of Hashem and man.” (Mishlei 3:3–4) In our tefillos each morning we beseech Hashem to grant us chein, chesed and rachamim in His eyes and in the eyes of all who behold us. So may it be for all of us.

Spring Valley, NY — They stand side by side with military-like precision. The bell rings, the music starts and the GymPros theme song fills the large gymnasium: “Gymnastics has just pros, no cons.... Coordination, dedication, power, strength and speed alike... Fitness, balance, health as well… Let’s all yell, ‘GymPros I like!’” From the viewing area above, the girls warming up all look pretty much alike. Dressed in their gymnastics attire, they move as one and quickly progress from one stretch to another, and from one warmup exercise to the next. But they aren’t even remotely the same; there’s the A-student sharing the floor with an academically challenged girl, the popular class queen rubbing elbows with the shy bookworm, and the dapper kid practicing with the gymnast who rarely cleans her room. Speaking to the assembled parents diligently observing their daughters’ class, you learn that not only are they content with this ar-
rangement, it is actually a primary draw of registering their daughter in Monsey’s premier after-school program. Over the past few decades, parents have moved to an understanding that the scholastic education children receive in a classroom setting is no longer enough to fully prepare them for life ahead. A 2015 Pew Research study on parenting trends showed that over 50 percent of U.S. children participated in dance, music, art or gymnastics lessons over the previous 12 months. This explosion in extracurricular involvement has been brought about by an increased awareness of
the limits of traditional schooling. Parents today want their children to shine, be proud, live healthy and have self-confidence that transcends the test scores on their most recent school exam. Gymnastics provides these benefits in abundance, and this has fueled GymPros’ growth in recent years. There were once two kinds of activities: the ones children begged their parents to do, and those parents implored their children to join. At GymPros, this gap has been brilliantly bridged, and parents find themselves as excited for their daughter’s next class as the children themselves. ONE-TRACK MIND
The world of gymnastics is vast. Some parents see gymnasts doing backflips and think that this sport clearly isn’t for their daughter. But the truth is that gymnastics is a great choice for the majority of girls who want to have fun in a warm and enjoyable environment. GymPros has made it its mission to provide an elite experience for everyone in the community, from beginners getting their first taste of gymnastics to experienced gym-

nasts competing at high levels. To that end, the gymnastics center divided the gym programs into three general tracks: RECREATIONAL
These classes are where most students begin, and they are designed to teach fundamental gymnastics skills in a fun and noncompetitive setting. Recreational gymnastics are geared for children of all ages and levels who wish to experience the joy of this wonderful sport while staying active and having a healthy recreational outlet during the school year. No previous skill or experience is necessary to join these classes. STARS
Many girls with athletic ability are in need of an outlet where they can channel their energy in a productive manner. In the Stars program, students participate in weekly two-hour classes, which provide a more structured and demanding training regimen, and that is from where many students try out for a spot on the competitive team. With a stronger focus on conditioning, form and skills from USAG levels 1–3, students benefit from the c om m it me nt and continued growth in this exciting world. TEAM
The Team Track is the pinnacle of Jewish gymnastics. As part of the JGL (Jewish Gymnastics League), teams from Cleveland, Miami, Edison, Baltimore, Far Rockaway, Monsey

and more compete at the highest levels in professional gymnastics meets judged by USAG judges and utilizing USAG routines and scoring methods. Being a part of the GymPros team requires commitment and dedication from both the gymnasts and their parents. Team gymnasts receive rigorous training multiple times per week and demonstrate a continued commit-
ment to excellence. But the reward and sense of accomplishment are sure to follow as they master their skills and medal in front of family, friends and fellow gymnasts. PUTTING THE PARENT IN TRANSPARENCY
As a program that prides itself on providing children with a complete education, GymPros stands
apart from the pack in offering parents unrivaled access and continued communication. Each class has a program manager who stays in contact with parents and updates them on their child’s development. Parents can also reach out to the program manager with any potential concerns. The GymPros parent viewing area is also unique in its convenience and the access that it provides. Every single class is open to mothers and siblings, who can sit comfortably on the bleachers upstairs while being part of everything that happens in the gym below. Aside from making parents
and students more comfortable, this arrangement also creates an atmosphere whereby the mother and daughter can bond over their gymnastics progress. “A GymPros registration is one of the greatest things a mother can do for her young daughter,” says Tehilla G. from Spring Valley. “Since my daughter began taking these lessons, our communication has improved, we have developed a closer relationship, and she is doing better than ever in school!” Many parents split carpool duties with neighbors and friends. One mother candidly shared that there’s a part of her that relishes
her turn to take the children to their classes, as she gets to spend an hour in the cheerful environment of children enjoying themselves in a fun, healthy, positive and Jewish atmosphere. As GymPros kicks off another exciting winter season, it is expected that education-minded parents will continue registering their children and reap the tremendous benefits of this great program. GymPros is centrally located in Spring Valley and hosts classes from Sunday to Thursday. For more info, call 845-GYMPROS or visit their website gym-pros.com

Record Crowds Turn Out for Ribnitzer Rebbe’s Yahrtzeit An estimated 25,000 people from all over the greater New York area flocked to Monsey on Isru Chag to mark the 24th yahrtzeit of the Ribnitzer Rebbe, Rav Chaim Zanvil Abramowitz, zt”l. As in past years, traffic was heavy in the area, with the Ramapo Police Department detouring southbound Route 306 drivers at the beis olam around Mariner Way, while northbound drivers were able to continue straight up the roadway. Brick Church Road was closed to all vehicles except buses from 2 to 10 p.m., with frequent shuttle buses at Ramapo High School and the Viznitz school on Maple Avenue ferrying visitors back and forth to the cemetery. Chaverim of Rockland worked closely with police to manage traffic in the area. Chaverim coordinator Yossi Margaretten said that much like in Meron on

Lag Ba’omer, volunteers inside the beis olam kept things moving smoothly, allowing visitors a brief opportunity to daven at the tzion before ushering them away to give others a turn. New this year was a Brick Church Road entrance to the beis olam for women, with a food tent and a freshly constructed wooden platform channeling visitors to the women’s side of the massive tent, where candles, pushkas, sifrei Tehillim and pens and papers for kvitlach were readily available. As always, multiple tents were erected throughout the beis olam before Sukkos to accommodate the many visitors, including one for Kohanim and others for food and minyanim. A large candle-lighting tent for men housed rows of metal trays filled with tea lights, the heat from the many flames noticeably raising the inside temperature. In addition to heartfelt tefillos, many swapped stories about the Rebbe. One woman, who declined to share her name, said that she had spoken to a visitor whose father had been facing surgery to amputate his leg. Hop-

ing for a yeshuah, the women had come to the Ribnitzer’s tzion several weeks earlier, davening there and picturing doctors telling her at a pre-operative meeting that his situation had improved and that the procedure wouldn’t be necessary after all. “That is exactly what happened the next day when she met with the doctors,” said the woman. “The woman came back today to say Nishmas and to imagine her father walking again, hopeful to see that happen as well.” Esther Chani Dushinsky, a niece of the Ribnitzer Rebbe, recalled a story she had heard of a man who desperately needed $10,000 within 24 hours, and with nowhere to turn, had gone to daven at the Ribnitzer’s tzion. Turning around to leave, he bumped into an old friend and the two spent a few minutes catching up and sharing why they had come to daven at the Ribnitzer Rebbe that day. “The friend looked at him and said, ‘This is crazy. I came today to daven for a specific thing and promised that the first person I would meet who needs $10,000, I am going to give it to them,’” recounted Mrs. Dushinsky. “Over the years people who have come here for something walk away and get a random thought in their head, which turns out to be the answer to their problem.” The number of people flocking to the beis olam continues to grow each year, a phenomenon that seems perfectly logical to members of the Rebbe’s family. “None of us are surprised,” said Mrs. Dushinsky. “Having known him and seeing what he was, it’s not surprising at all.”
TRUST THE DOWN EXPERT
Minor Earthquake Recorded Near Monsey Area It may have been too small to be felt, but an earthquake was recorded last Thursday night behind the Route 59 ShopRite in West Nyack. The 10:41 p.m. quake registered at 1.1 on the Richter scale, taking place 3.1 kilometers below the ground. The earthquake, the only one recorded on the East Coast in the past week, was reported by both the United States Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Program and the Lamont-Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network in Palisades. Typically, an earthquake would have to register at least 2 to 2.5 on the Richter scale to be noticed by people in the area. Earthquakes are rare in our area, with the last one hitting in Hillcrest in May 2018.

Recap: Ulush gives birth to a baby girl. While she is in the hospital, Edo receives a certificate from the Jewish orphanage and leaves to Eretz Yisroel, without Ulush having a chance to say goodbye to him. Janek tells Ulush that Gustav has been found lying in the street, ill with pneumonia, and is in the same hospital as Ulush. Ulush sneaks up to the pediatric ward to try to see him. “That’s right,” the nurse agreed with Ulush. “I wanted to check if you knew what you were talking about, or if you were just disoriented. The child that you are looking for is here, near the window.” Ulush’s eyes turned to the bed the nurse was pointing to. She gazed at Gustav’s white face and his halfclosed eyes. “Yes,” she said, a lump in her throat. “Yes, that’s him.” “What’s his name?” the nurse asked. “Gustav,” Ulush said. She bent over the child. “Gustav? Gustav, it’s Ulush. Do you hear me?” The boy’s eyelids flickered a bit, but didn’t rise. She studied the tiny part of his pupils that she could see. It was hard to figure out what he was looking at, but it certainly wasn’t her. “Gustav?” she whispered a third time. He coughed in response. She turned to the nurse who was standing behind her. “Can he speak?” “Until now he hasn’t said a word.” “And… what is his condition?”
The nurse shrugged. “Not good,” she said, and lowered her voice. “If he comes out of this, it will be a big miracle.” Ulush turned back to the bed, fearfully looking at Gustav’s pale face. “Do you know how worried I was about you, Gustav?” she whispered. “Where did you go? Why didn’t you come home that day? Janek went to look for you, and other people did too… Edo was so sad that you disappeared. Do you know how much he loves you?” She blinked. “Then Edo also left. Do you know where he is? He’s sailing on a ship now to Eretz Yisroel. You will also get well and go to Eretz Yisroel, right? Maybe you will come with us, with me and Janek. And there we will meet Edo and lots of other good Jews. You want to go, don’t you?” The boy coughed again, deeper this time than before. “In Eretz Yisroel there are beautiful houses that glitter, as if they are made of gold. And they have shiny red roofs, like ruby stones. They have big fields with wheat and

barley and all of the shivas haminim, and children can run in the shining sun and pick lots and lots of golden apples. Do you know what a golden apple is? “And the sky is so blue… and the wind sings beautiful songs of holiness... Anyone who lives in the Holy Land has to be a tzaddik, because it’s impossible to be in the land of Hakadosh Baruch Hu, near Yerushalayim and Kever Rochel, otherwise.” The boy’s face grew red, as if he was trying to cough again, but couldn’t. The nurse brought over a cup of water, and Ulush fed the water to him, spoonful by spoonful. His eyes remained closed, even tighter perhaps than they’d been before, but he slurped the water thirstily. “And the water there has such a wonderful taste, because it is a blessed land. The bread and the fruit and everything that is there are the most special in the world. You want to get better and come with us to Eretz Yisroel, don’t you, Gustav? To drink the water there, to eat the holy fruits, and to play with our new baby?” In the end, little Edo didn’t come to sail boats on the water with him in the rubble of the destroyed house. Too bad. He had to give him the paper. It said that Edo’s name was really Yosef Ludmir, and that he had uncles in Eretz Yisroel. But now Edo was already on a big ship — a real one, not a paper one — on his way to Eretz Yisroel. How would he find his uncles without that paper? The paper may have gotten terribly wet in the water, because it was in his pocket. He was not sure that anyone could still read what it said.

“Continue with what?” Miri demanded. “It makes no difference. Yaakov, let’s sing something.” “Oh, no, you don’t! Don’t go evading me like that.” Miri stood firm. “And it’s really a shame that the soup is getting cold in the kitchen.” “Miri, you’d be better off hearing about it after you eat,” Yaakov said, with a humorous twinkle in his eye. “You don’t want to ruin your appetite. And I think it would be even better if you heard about it tomorrow morning and not two hours before going to sleep.” She was about to say something, but then she smiled in resignation and went back to the kitchen. She returned a few moments later with the soup bowls arranged on a tray. They didn’t talk about Binyamin’s secret for the rest of the course, and it looked like he was making every effort to have them forget the whole story. “You know something?” he remarked as Miri served some fruit for dessert. “This afternoon, before I came here, I visited Zeidy. He asked me to get him another blanket because he was cold, and one of the staff members sent me to the storage room at the end of the hall. I went into the room, and someone was standing there arranging blankets on shelves. Suddenly, on a table on the side I saw these two furry stuffed animals that looked like dogs. I asked the man if I could have a blanket, and as I spoke, I thought I saw one of the toy dogs moving! “The man answered me, and the animal stopped moving. And as we are talking about which kind of blanket Zeidy wanted, and

Suddenly, as the man found me the right blanket and handed it to me, this ‘stuffed animal’ gave a little bark and jumped onto him! It really was a dog! I never saw such a tiny dog in my whole life! And then the second dog woke up…” “I also saw those dogs when I visited Zeidy last week!” Miri
REALITIES OF LIFE? DEATH? WHAT HAD BINYAMIN FOUND TO DO WITH HIS NIGHTS? exclaimed as she cut an orange segment into three pieces. “It’s so strange that they let those animals into the nursing home, isn’t it?” “I don’t know… And the guy explained to me that they are actually quite aggressive creatures, since they feel like they have to constantly be on the defensive because of their size.” “Or lack thereof,” Yaakov said with a chuckle. “Right. And they only act normally if they’re given the right training from early on. But I think Zeidy likes the guy. I heard them talking when the man came to give him the blanket. He’s a good person, I think.” “That’s the main thing,” Miri concluded. “Or is the main thing that you managed to change the subject from your mysterious new job? Although based on what I heard from before, I think I don’t mind dropping that conversation for now…” To be continued...

ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi Killed in Special Operations Raid THE PULSE: The leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed by U.S. forces in a raid in Idlib, a province in northern Syria. The strike was conducted by U.S. Special Forces using eight helicopters to attack the al-Baghdadi compound. The attack also included the use of drones and jets. Recognizing that he was cor-
88 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 30, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
nered, al-Baghdadi detonated an explosive vest, killing himself and those around him. There were no U.S. casualties in the strike. Syria, Russia, Turkey, Iraq and the Kurds all assisted in the successful operation. THE IMPACT: The death of al-Baghdadi is a blow to
jihadists around the world. It is a significant victory against the forces of terror. It is a testament to the resolve of the American government and its armed forces to bring to justice those responsible for terror. Al-Baghdadi’s death weakens ISIS, but the threat posed by the terrorist group remains. The fear that ISIS fighters may regroup is still real. POLITICAL IMPACT: President Trump oversaw and
ordered the raid. As commander and chief of the armed forces, he will receive credit for this successful operation. It will provide a muchneeded boost for Trump, as he has received much criticism for his decision to remove U.S. troops from Syria. However, the raid also highlights the importance of a continued U.S. presence in Syria, which is at odds with Trump’s stated policy. Such a presence is necessary for the military to continue to conduct targeted operations against ISIS and other terror groups. Furthermore, the Kurdish forces in the region provided valuable assistance with this operation. Former Republican Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee, noted that there was no way that the raid could have been carried out without the assistance of the Kurds. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper echoed the sentiments, and President Trump explicitly recognized and thanked the Kurds for their help. Many perceive Trump’s Syria policy as a tacit abandonment of the Kurds to Turkish forces. This successful raid may result in renewed calls for protection for America’s Kurdish allies.
Tim Ryan Ends His Presidential Campaign THE PULSE: Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) withdrew from the Democratic presidential race. Ryan billed himself as a centrist candidate who would be able to win back Midwestern Democratic support that was lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Ryan qualified for the first two Democratic debates, but failed to be eligible for the third. THE IMPACT: Ryan’s departure cedes the field to other
Midwestern and Western candidates such as Montana Governor Steve Bullock, Senator Amy Klobuchar (DMN), and Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), who are all attempting to appeal to the same demographic of the centrist blue-collar Democrat who may have voted for Trump in the last election. Ryan’s departure allows him to focus on running his campaign for reelection in Ohio’s 13th district.
Sondland Testifies to Existence of Quid Pro Quo THE PULSE: According to media reports, U.S. ambas-
sador to the EU Gordon Sondland told the House committees investigating President Trump that Trump’s de-
mand that Ukraine investigate Burisma Holdings and alleged 2016 election interference was a condition for a White House meeting between President Zelensky and President Trump. THE IMPACT: Sondland’s testimony appears to corrob-
orate the earlier testimony of Ambassador Bill Taylor, who said that Trump conditioned the delivery of U.S. aid to Ukraine on the investigation of Burisma Holdings and Hunter Biden. Trump and his supporters have repeatedly denied any quid pro quo, and Sondland’s testimony may further complicate their line of defense.
Warren and Buttigieg Express Openness to Conditioning Aid to Israel THE PULSE: On the campaign trail, both Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg were asked to comment on the policies of the Netanyahu government. Senator Warren stated that “Netanyahu says that he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements. That does not move us toward a two-state solution,” and “It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table.” She was asked by a reporter if that would include freezing U.S. aid to Israel, and she responded: “Everything is on the table.” At a campaign event in Chicago, Buttigieg expressed a similar sentiment. He said: “The aid is leverage to guide Israel in the right direction, and if, for example, there is follow-through to these threats on annexation, I am committed to ensuring that the U.S. is not footing the bill for that.” THE IMPACT: The comments of Warren and Buttigieg received widespread condemnation from mainstream pro-Israel groups who insisted that U.S. aid to Israel is beneficial to the security of both countries and should not be conditioned upon the Palestinian situation. The responses of Senator Warren and Mayor Buttigieg will likely strengthen the narrative of those who wish to portray Democrats as soft on their support for Israel and who therefore claim that bipartisan support for Israel can no longer be taken for granted. The comments of Warren and Buttigieg are worrisome and cause for concern. They may be indicative of the clout of those in the Democratic party that are openly critical of Israel. However, it should be noted that Democratic candidate Amy Klobuchar recently came out forcefully in defense of Israel’s security when she publicly condemned the administration’s Syria policy as harmful to Israel’s security.

Chickpeas has its roots deeply grounded in Jewish cuisine, with minhagim and stories of mesiras nefesh involving this legume going back hundreds of years. The most commonly accepted minhag is to serve chickpeas — “bebelach” or “arbis” in Yiddish — to welcome a newborn baby boy at the shalom zachor on his first Friday night. Indeed, many actually refer to chickpeas as “zachor bundlach.” According to the sefer Otzar Hachaim, the reason for this minhag is that in ancient times, beans were a food of mourning, and when a baby is born, there’s the aveilus over the loss of the Torah learning that the child was forced to forget before coming down to this world. The Klausenberger Rebbe, zt”l, brings in Sefer Shefa Chaim that when one eats a food, he should internalize its intended kavanah. When consuming “arbes” at a shalom zachor, one should have in mind “V’harbah arbeh es zaracha.” The sefer Sipirei Shel Tzaddikim relates the following fascinating story: R’ Yechiel Yaakov M’Koznitz was once visiting a small town and stepped into the local shul. A childless couple lived adjacent to the beis midrash, and the woman, who had already passed childbearing age, was out in the field picking beans. Seeing this, the Rebbe asked, “Nu, will there be a shalom zachor?” and although she was past the prime of her life, she was miraculously blessed with a son.

OF MINHAGIM AND MESIRAS NEFESH On Friday night, many have the minhag to serve chickpeas along with the soup. One of the reasons also refers to aveilus — these beans are served in remembrance of the mourning of Moshe Rabbeinu, who was niftar on Shabbos. According to the Shulchan Aruch, it’s customary to serve chickpeas on Purim in remembrance of Queen Esther who subsisted on mostly beans in the palace of Achashveirosh. Interestingly, at the Seudas Esther, which took place on the second day of Pesach, Esther didn’t want to transgress the laws of Pesach by serving chometz, so she creatively served beans to Achashveirosh and Haman as well. (Those were the days before the custom of refraining from kitniyos on Pesach was observed.) Another historical incident involving chickpeas is detailed in Sefer Daniel. When
Daniel, along with Chananya, Mishael and Azarye, were forced into exile and held captive to serve King Nevuchadnezer in his royal palace in Bavel, they were fed according to the king’s orders. The royal meal referred to as “pas bag bamelech” was, according to the Zohar, a hearty dish consisting of meat and milk. Daniel begged the king’s servants to bring them water and some beans so that they should not contaminate their holy souls with this forbidden food, but the royal soldiers refused. They feared that the king would notice on the boys a pallor that would indicate they were malnourished, and that they’d be punished for disobeying the king’s command. Daniel, however, persisted in asking for water and beans and requested a ten-day trial in which they would be allowed to try subsisting on this meager diet. Miraculously, after this trial period, the four lads from Yerushalayim appeared robust and healthy, and their minds were totally alert, so much so that the king observed that their understanding and clear judgment were ten times sharper than those of his greatest minds and even his men of sorcery. This was all despite their poor diet.
CHICKPEAS FOR THE BALABUSTA As of late, chickpeas have increased in popularity and become a healthy staple in our diets. They are readily available in refrigerated containers, cans and vacuum-packed pouches, but nothing comes close to the homemade variety, cooked to perfection. I always cook extra and freeze them in snack-size Ziploc bags for a healthy lunch or snack. As to which brand of chickpeas to cook, it’s a quite controversial issue for the dis-

Following are three methods of preparing chickpeas, each one tried and true, using very different cooking methods. All beans should be soaked for a minimum of 8 hours prior to cooking. For easier digestion, soak for 24 hours.

Pot-Boiled Chickpeas It is difficult to give exact cooking directions, as cooking time is unpredictable. If beans are very dry, they will take more time to soften.
INGREDIENTS 3 packages chickpeas
Oven-Baked Chickpeas
Instant Pot Chickpeas
This new method, which is gaining popularity in our extended family, was graciously shared by my sister-in-law. It is a sweeter version, so adjust sugar according to your family’s preferences.
This method uses an instant pot, which is an electric contraption that merges the functions of a pressure cooker and a slow cooker. It is a fairly new gadget on the market and is gaining popularity at an amazing speed.
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS 2 lb. chickpeas
1 package chickpeas
1 tsp. baking soda
4 cups boiling water
3–4 T. salt
1½ T. sugar
½ T. sugar
1½–2 T. salt
½ T. paprika
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. black pepper
Black pepper, paprika and crushed pepper to taste
½ tsp. crushed red pepper
DIRECTIONS DIRECTIONS 1. Soak beans for a minimum of 12 hours. 2. Preheat oven to 350°. 3. Place checked beans into a parchment-lined 9x13 pan. Pour 4 cups of boiling water over beans and add rest of ingredients. 4. Cover lightly, and bake for 2 hours.
1. Soak beans in water with baking soda for 8 to 12 hours. 2. Check beans carefully. Rinse well and place in pot. 3. Cover with a generous amount of water, making sure you don’t exceed the fill line. Add salt, sugar and spices. 4. Cook on “bean” or “multi-grain” setting for 60 to 70 minutes. If your pot doesn’t have a bean setting, refer to the manual and follow instructions. Do not attempt to open the pot until it has cooled down.
2 T. baking soda Salt, paprika and black pepper, to taste Crushed red pepper and cayenne pepper, optional Scant amount of sugar
DIRECTIONS 1. Soak beans for 8 to 24 hours in water with baking soda. If soaking for a longer period of time, it is advisable to change the water once in between. 2. Drain beans and place into an 8-quart pot. Cover beans with water and bring to boil. Reduce flame to low-medium setting and cook for 2 hours. 3. Add salt, paprika, black pepper and sugar (for a hotter variety, add crushed pepper and cayenne pepper as well). Taste water and adjust seasoning; water should be oversalted and well-spiced for beans to be flavorful. 4. Cook for another 10 minutes. 5. Remove three chickpeas and place in freezer for 5 minutes to cool. Taste. If skins are soft, beans are ready. If not, cook for longer, checking every 20 to 30 minutes. 6. Shut flame when done and drain water very well.

The birth of a baby boy is a source of true joy for Klal Yisroel, for another servant of the Master has joined the ranks. All preparations for the peak display of this simcha, the bris, are carried out with much happiness, as the Gemara in Shabbos states, “Every mitzvah that the Yidden accepted b’simcha, like milah, continues to be carried out happily.” The many customs associated with this special time are laden with an extra dose of joy and true love for the mitzvah. Here’s a close look at some of the minhagim integral to this transformational life cycle event. 112 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 30, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
SHALOM ZACHOR Frightened and distressed, a man came to Reb Aharon of Belz, zy”a, for a bracha. “My child is dangerously sick,” he said. “When was the child born?” the Rebbe asked. “In 5708 (1948),” the father replied. The Rebbe asked if there had been a shalom zachor on the first Friday night after the child’s birth. Indeed, it turned out that this minhag had not been performed. War had raged in Eretz Yisroel in 1948, and people had remained in their homes for shelter; no one had ventured out on the streets unnecessarily. “Your child is missing brachos!” the Rebbe resolved. The shalom zachor affords a special opportunity for family and friends to wish the new father the zechus to raise
his son to Torah, chuppah and maasim tovim. These brachos accompany the newborn as he embarks on his journey in this world, safeguarding him with a special shemirah. The Belzer Rav instructed the father to request that the mispallelim in his shul make up for the lost blessings so the child could merit a speedy recovery. THE SHALOM ZACHOR is a simcha. It is a display of gratitude for the miracle of another Yiddishe baby boy lighting up this world. At the same time, the shalom zachor is indicative of a level of mourning, and with their participation, the guests provide a measure of consolation to the pure neshamah of the brand-new baby. Just a few days or hours earlier, the neshamah had reveled in the upper spheres, close to Hashem, enjoying a special state of peace and comfort. Suddenly, at birth, the neshamah was thrust into a human physique, into a world full of negativity and impurity. Transitioning from a reality of authentic purity to our challenging world, where good and bad are intertwined, is perhaps the greatest trauma a neshamah ever endures. The neshamah’s lost learning is another matter requiring nechamah. Before he was born, a malach learned the entire Torah with the baby, but with a flick above his mouth at birth, the baby forgets all he has learned. We eat chickpeas at the shalom zachor for, as food traditionally served to aveilim, it reminds us of the newborn’s sorrow. Their round shape symbolizes the cycle of life. Like a ball rolling round and round, the neshamah originates in Shamayim and returns to Shamayim. It has no “mouth,” leaving the mourner without a “mouth” to speak in his deep grief. Chickpeas are also known as “arbis,” reminiscent of Hakadosh Baruch Hu’s promise to Avraham Avinu, “V’harbah arbeh es zaracha... — I will multiply your seed like the stars in Heaven and sand on the seashore” (Bereishis 22:17). Beer is often served, perhaps due to the symbolic round shape of the barley it is made from, much like the beans. The shalom zachor also marks the significance of the baby experiencing a Shabbos. Before the baby can be brought to his bris, he readies himself by living through this holy day. This can be compared to a king who only offers an audience to his guests once they’ve met his queen. Eight days is the minimum span of time that unquestionably includes a Shabbos. This day brings the newborn closer to the great act of bris milah — another cause for the celebration. Gladdening the father of the newborn by partaking in the shalom zachor shows the new baby the difference in this world — it is a place where one can do good. Whereas in the upper realms, the neshamah may be closer to Hashem, only in this world can it perfect itself through actions, even one as slight as the kindness of bringing joy to another.
VACH NACHT Standing at the threshold of the great day when the baby will join the ranks of Klal Yisroel, it is customary to prepare a seudah. This demonstrates our deep love for the upcoming mitzvah of milah.

Many have the custom of repeating this legendary story of the Baal Shem Tov during the vach nacht. In one village, there was a priest who used to employ sorcery to take the lives of Yiddishe infants before they reached their bris. A Yid in that village had a baby boy, and the Baal Shem Tov saw that the priest was preparing to kill the child. The Baal Shem Tov hurried over on the night before the bris and told the Yid to lock the door, and not leave any space open at all. “Prepare large, heavy sticks,” the Baal Shem Tov instructed, “and when I tell you to strike, smack with all your might.” At night, there was a knock at the door. It was the priest. The Yid didn’t open, as the Rebbe had instructed. Through witchcraft, the priest took on the figure of a cat and began digging up the earth underneath the house. In this way, he managed to poke his way inside the home. The Rebbe signaled, and the Yid began hitting with force. Wounded and with broken bones, the priest returned home. The following morning, the bris milah took place, amid great joy. The priest was duly upset. He convinced the leaders to set up a debate between himself and the Baal Shem Tov. The priest was first in establishing himself against his opponent, but try as he might, he could not muster his powers of witchcraft to fully accomplish his tricks. Then it was the Baal Shem Tov’s turn. “I won’t do anything; I will just call all the little children whom you killed,” the Rebbe said, “and they will take revenge on you.” Immediately, a large group of little children gathered around the priest, and they didn’t leave even a single bone in the priest’s body whole. The Klausenberger Rebbe, zt”l, once repeated at a vach nacht that it is a segulah not only to tell this story, but to repeat any story about tzaddikim, because this influences their merits and holiness upon the newborn.

It is an auspicious night for the newborn, a night when stores of kedushah hang in abundance, ready to be drawn for the child. Our targeted tefillos at this time outfit the child with the power to combat his yetzer hara and lead a life of holiness. It is a time to daven that the child grow up to be righteous, wise and a yarei Shamayim. This night is aptly called the “vach nacht” — the leil shimurim. Sefardim call this night “bris Yitzchak.” The father of the newborn remains awake all night, or at least until chatzos, learning Torah and topics related to the bris, and of course, davening for the child. Many have the minhag to read from the Zohar on Parshas Lech Lecha, which discusses the significance of bris milah. The merit of bris milah is great, and the Satan is aware of it. He is ready to do anything in his power to prevent this special mitzvah from taking place. Learning and davening at the baby’s side swathes the baby in an extra layer of protection against all external forces as the big day arrives. BEFORE A CHILD IS BROUGHT to his milah, he must first accept upon himself the ol Malchus Shamayim. The newborn himself lacks sufficient intellect, so we do it for him. We say Shema at the side of his crib, bearing in mind that our words are helping the child accept the yoke of Heaven. Young children who are free of sin, like malachim, come to say Shema. Their pure lips utter the age-old words, hoping to influence the child to remain pure and free of sin his entire life. Since young children cannot possibly evoke the deeper intentions of saying Shema on behalf of the newborn, adults also recite it in the baby’s presence.
WELCOMING ELIYAHU HANAVI
A chair designated for Eliyahu Hanavi graces every bris, signifying his guest attendance. Being in the presence of Eliyahu Hanavi makes participating in a bris that much more special. But why does he come, and what gained him the title “Eliyahu Malach Habris?” King Achav, who ruled over the Aseres Hashevatim, established harsh decrees against keeping the Torah and mitzvos, including a ban on the mitzvah of milah. This distressed Eliyahu Hanavi, awakening his zealousness. He asked Hashem to bring all rain and dew to a standstill until the Yidden would do teshuvah. Queen Izevel was enraged, and she had Eliyahu sentenced to death. Eliyahu davened, and Hashem appeared to him and promised that because he had ap-

There are lots of choices that come along with the birth of a little boy. Many of them, like the decor at the vach nacht or the design of his nursery, won’t have lifelong bearing. Yet there is one decision that will follow the child for the rest of his life: his name. Not merely some random set of syllables for him to introduce himself by, nor an easy handle for others to refer to him, the name parents choose for their child provides him with an identity. In fact, according to the Ari, zt”l, a name is the person’s very essence.
NAME-GIVING IN ANTIQUITY Names are as old as man itself, and there was a certain simplicity and authenticity to the process in our early history. Adam was so named because he was created from the earth. Chava’s name identified her as the mother of all life. As each subsequent human entered the world, they were given an identification, a name that was distinctly theirs. The name choice was inspired by either the circumstances surrounding the person’s birth or the hopes for his future, like when Avraham and Sarah named their son Yitzchak, referring to

their laughter at the good tidings of his upcoming birth. As we commence Sefer Bereishis, we’ll notice one constant: There are no repeating names. Noach ish tzaddik, yet no one thought to name their child after him. Avraham Avinu was the father of our entire nation, and yet none of his descendants bore his name. The same held true for Moshe Rabbeinu, Hashem’s chosen one, venerated and depended upon by all of Klal Yisroel. This pattern extended all the way through Nach. Of the 21 kings in Malchus Yehudah, there was just one Dovid Hamelech, only one Shlomo. Esteemed as they were, and with all the kings of the same familial dynasty, the concept of repeated names just didn’t exist. This practice of naming the child as an expression of the emotions surrounding the birth continued for millennia, with fresh names custom-coined for each newborn. Once names started to repeat, they were more likely due to a lack of ideas than intentionally adopting someone else’s name.
NAMING AFTER… The minhag of naming a child after a deceased relative seems to have begun in the time of the Chashmonaim, though the practice was limited to the royal family and aristocracy. Gradually, the custom spread. Nowadays, among Ashkenazim in particular, the minhag is very enforced. This keeps the name and memory alive and forms a metaphysical bond between the baby and the one who passed. According to the Noam Elimelech (Bamidbar), this custom brings great honor to the deceased, because it allows his neshamah even greater elevation, based on the maasim tovim of his namesake. For the child, meanwhile, it can serve as a connection to the past, a reminder that he’s a precious link in a golden chain, and he can be inspired by the positive qualities of the special person he’s named after. Sefardi Jews, though, do name children after relatives who are still alive, taking their source directly from Gemara (Shabbos
T
122 / THE MONSEY VIEW
134a), which records a child named after Reb Natan while he was still alive. The choice of how to name a child was, and still is, entirely within the purview of his parents, and there are few rules surrounding the event. But in Maseches Yoma (83b) the Gemara does caution against the use of the name of a wicked person. Surprisingly, this dictum was somewhat overlooked, as we see that there were Kohanim Gedolim and Tannaim who bore the name Yishmael. The name Menachem was also very popular with the Tannaim and Amoraim, and is certainly common today, even though the first Menachem was a king whose behavior did not find favor in the eyes of Hashem. Inexplicably, while that name survived and has gained popularity, other names of tzaddikim, like the names of our nevi’im Chavakuk and Malachi, have completely disappeared.
NEW NAMES The precise onset of the practice of repeating names is difficult to ascertain, but by the time of the first Churban, there were definitely popular names that were often being used. In fact, the practice was so prevalent at that point that it is easy to realize that it must have begun a lot earlier. The first recorded repeated names were clearly from the Torah, with specific names, including Yehudah, Eliezer, Yosef, Binyamin, Shimon and others, being favored. There were other names gaining popularity at the time as well, and while clearly Lashon Hakodesh, they were new compositions, not derived from names in Tanach. By the time of Churban Bayis Rishon, we start to see names that are reflective of the surrounding culture. Along with all of our troubles, it was beside the rivers of Bavel that another element of our galus, the struggle against assimilation, truly began. There were those who longed to return and proudly gave their children Jewish names, as well as those who gave new names denoting their sentiments of bitachon and consolation. These include Nechemia, Chasa-

diah, Pediah and so on. But it was also at that time that the Aramaic influence was first felt, with names receiving an ai ending — which partly means “the devotee of.” This was often a deviation from an original Lashon Hakodesh name (like Shammai, from Shemaiah, and Piltai from Pilatiah). Then there were Jewish names with a Persian influence (like Shabsai, named for the Shabbos) and fully Persian names (like Mordechai). From there on, it only got worse. By the time of the Chashmonaim, the Hellenistic culture dominated, and the names started to reflect that. Even aristocracy began using Greek names; the first Tanna in the Mishnah was Antignos ish Socho, a definitively Greek name. He wasn’t alone — and it didn’t stop there. Many names currently assumed to be distinctly “Yiddish” are in fact of Greek origin. We know that the Gemara is littered with names like Reb Chanina ben Dosa, Nakdimon, Elazar ben Harkanos, Rav Pappa, Reb Tarfon and so on. While those definitely sound Greek, they’re not exactly popular today. But then there’s Theodorus and Phoebus. While they may not sound familiar, some may be more likely to recognize the “Yiddish” Todros and Feivish. As a matter of fact, there is a reason why Feivel is often paired with Uri or Shraga: Phoebus is Greek for “light,” which is what Shraga means in Aramaic and Uri in Lashon Hakodesh.
SECULAR NAMES Going back to the growing usage of secular names, foreign influence started with a tepid Babylonian impact, a very strong Greek influence, and finally we find that the Roman conquest affected that era’s Jewish names as well. Perhaps not as extensively as the Greeks, but in Talmud Yerushalmi we encounter names like Drusus, Yustus (Justus), Romanus, and most surprising of all, the name Reb Yehudah ben Titus, which is mentioned twice in Gemara (Shabbos 14, 14c;
G
124 / THE MONSEY VIEW
Bikkurim 3, 65d). The use of secular names alongside one’s Jewish one was common practice throughout this time too. Hadassah went by Esther, Daniel was Belshatzer, and Chananya, Mishael and Azariah were also called Shedrach, Mishech and Abed Nego. Although the practice definitely started with the Misyavnim, it soon spread to even the frum Chashmonaim. There were ehrliche Kohanim Gedolim of Chashmonean descent that had dual names, the second clearly Greek: Alexander Yannai, Yehudah Arisobolos and Yochanan Horkanos. Evidently, some were just known by their secular names, but others still made sure that their non-Jewish names were used only in interactions with non-Jews. In those cases, one’s Latin name was a direct translation of their Lashon Hakodesh given name. For example, Tzadok became the Latin Justus, while Nesanel picked up the Greek Theodorus. Sadly, after some time, the secular name became the more prominent, and then the only, name given.
THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES Fast-forward to the early Middle Ages, the name-giving process was a fast and loose one. The concept of minting fresh names had never really disappeared, and so there were names like Emunah and Nissim, in recognition of circumstances; there were names like Shabsai, Pesach and Nissen, for children born at specific times; and there is even a record in the Middle Ages of a boy named Chanukah! It was also at this time that names unseen for over 800 years began to make their reappearance. In the time of the Geonim we find the first Avraham — Rav Avraham Gaon — but the trend hadn’t yet shifted fully, and there was still an Aramaic sounding Rav Paltai Gaon. As often happens when adopting the new while preserving the old, many combined a Jewish name with a cultural name. That’s how names like Rav Saadiah Gaon

Under Rabbinical Guidance
MORE SECULAR INFLUENCES As the Ashkenazim started moving further out, their names were clearly affected by evermore religious and cultural influences. At the time of the Second Crusade, for instance, there was a Baal Tosafos in France, one of the Rishonim in Sefer Mordechai, by the name of Rav Peter! The prevalence of secular names in 12th century Jewry had the rabbanim issue a clear directive: At his bris, every baby boy must be given a recognizably Jewish name by which he would be called up to the Torah. This directive included many names that were of Greek or Aramaic origin that were at that point recognized as Jewish by constant use within the community. Soon migration extended further, and Jews started settling beyond France and the Spanish territories, moving on to England, Poland, Germany and Russia. It was around that time that a new language surfaced. Approximately 1,100 year ago, Yiddish was conceived. It was likely unintentional, probably caused by Jewish parents’ garbled pronunciations of the local language as well as their penchant for nicknames, but with the new language, an entire slew of new names arose. Ostensibly they were “Jewish names,” or at least they were Jewish-sounding. One interesting name in that category is the name Zindel. As it turns out, the name was originally Alexander, which has been accepted too, but more commonly in the form of Sender.

came to be; the Aramaic Saad, which means helper, with the yud-kei suffix now meant Helper to G-d. Since Babylonia was then under Islamic rule, there were even purely Arabic names used. We even find that the famous Babylonian Reish Gelusa (or exilarch) was named Yosi alHassan. Other names made their return around the time of the Rishonim. Rashi was Reb Shlomo Yitzchaki, the Rambam and Ramban were both Moshe, and the Rabbeinu Tam’s name was Yaakov. It was also in this generation that names like Dovid, Elchanan and Baruch resurfaced. Some dug deep — and went all the way back to Noach.

Yosef became Yosel; Yaakov became Yekel, Yankel, Kopel or even Kopelman (from Jakob); and Yitzchak became Eizik (Isaac), Itzik, Itzl and even Zekl. Following the Rabbinic order of ensuring a Jewish name for every Jewish child, the names could now loosely be grouped into three categories: 1. As people opted to add a “matching” Lashon Hakodesh name to their existing secular name, some failed to see that their current name wasn’t exactly secular. And so, because they were unaware, we got combinations like Yitzchok Isaac, Yaakov Kopel and Shlomo Zalman. (That final one stumps many, but the Anglicized version of Shlomo is Solomon. Now give that a Yiddish twang… and there you go!) In the last generation (over the past 70 to 100 years or so), we’ve come to recognize the obvious Lashon Hakodesh “root names,” which is why many have reverted to only giving the main name at the bris, while sometimes still calling the child by the “nickname.” 2. For the second category, we find that as people were adopting Jewish names to go alongside their secular names, they attempted to match it as best as possible by definition or alliteration. Recently, we’re being met with the erroneous assumption that these names are inherently Yiddish. For the most part, though, these names have no Jewish origin and are, in fact, etymologically Germanic. Even so, the language similarities are so great that our present generation “recognizes” these names as Yiddish. Distinctly German names like Behr, Hersch and Volf, became Dov Ber (or Duber), Tzvi Hersh, and because of the bracha of Yaakov Avinu to Binyamin, that name was paired with Volf. Which nowadays has changed to the complete name of Binyamin Zev. These are the names we “recognize,” and so, nowadays, some have dropped the “Yiddish” name and just say the Lashon Hakodesh name at the bris, but here, too, they commonly use the Yiddish-sounding name for everyday use. 3. The third category are names that we don’t recognize. They certainly don’t ap-
126 / THE MONSEY VIEW
pear to be of secular origin, and so we assume that they are Yiddish. (To be clear, they are not.) In most of these cases, both names are said clearly at the bris. The names in this category are Bendit, Getzel, Gottlieb, Hertz and Feish/Feitel that we’ve happily accepted as “Yiddish” names, when in fact they have no Yiddish roots at all. For a clearer understanding of what these names originated from, let’s look at the names they were paired with: Baruch Bendit (Benedict), Elyakim Getzel (was the German Goetzl, a nickname for Gottfried), Yedidiah Gottlieb, Naftali Hertzke (Hertz/Hart, for the deer that Naftali was compared to), Chaim Feish or Chaim Feitel (Vital, direct Italian translation) and the aforementioned Shraga Feivish (Phoebus). For simple alliterations, you find that German names like Anschel (originally Anselm) became Asher Anschel; Mendel and Manis (both from the old German name Mann) became popularly Menachem Mendel and Menachem Manis. There is also Bunim (from the French term of endearment bon homme, good man), and because they sound so smooth together, we got the name Binyamin Bunim. Years later, when having a Jewish name was entirely the norm, some felt that it was unfitting to use a name that contained an appellation of Hashem for everyday interactions. Names that contained the yud-kei or alef-lamed, therefore, received an added name for daily use: Yehoshua became Yehoshua Heschel (later mistakenly assumed to be Yehoshua Hershel), and similarly, there was Yechiel Michel, Shmuel Zavil (Zangvill/ Old German), Yecheskel Shraga, Arye Leib, and perhaps more interestingly, Yekesiel Zalman and Yehudah Leib, which explain the mystery of why Yekesiel Yehudahs are nowadays so often called Zalman Leib! SEFER HAGILGULIM WRITES that the naming of a child is on some level ruach hakodesh on the part of the parents, with Hashem planting the name of the newborn into the mouths of the father and mother. It’s a Divine partnership that all who merit children are privileged to participate in. Naming the newly born life is an integral part of setting up his identity and ascertaining his future.

They start out so small and grow so fast. You turn and suddenly — they’re not infants anymore but little people and you wonder — where did that newborn fuzz go? And then when all you do is run after them picking up their messes and thinking how “they’re so big!” you have the memory of those first few delicate days
of the peachy fuzz you buried your nose in
of the tiny toes you loved to tickle
of their tiny bodies so warm and fragile.
And you melt all over again.

Newborns are irresistible. With their soft, smooth skin; their tiny, curly lashes; and their flaky fingers and toes, it’s no wonder everyone wants to photograph them all the time. Getting your newborn professionally photographed is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself as a new mother. But the fun never ends... So here are some tips for photographing your brand-new baby by yourself, at home. 132 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 30, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
KEEP IT SAFE
Keep a constant safety check.
The most important thing when it comes to photographing a baby is to keep the session safe. Babies are live, delicate and fragile, and you should never, ever put a baby in an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous position for the sake of “getting the shot.” Here’s what I do to keep babies safe in my studio: Before you start:
1. Sterilize all blankets, bonnets, wraps and props. 2. Keep things hygienic with good old hand-washing and lots of Purell. If it seems impossible, it probably is.
1
You know those shots where the baby is sitting with their elbows in front of their feet and their chin in their palms? I’d bet you’ve always wondered how photographers get the baby to hold the pose. Well, here’s the secret — we don’t. It’s Photoshopped. Every time I shoot an image like that, there’s someone holding the newborn’s hands and head, supporting them and making sure they don’t get hurt. Then we combine the images digitally. I was horrified one day when I saw a photo that an ametuer photographer took while trying to copy that pose — without knowing it was a composite! The baby’s hands were too deep under his chin, more like under his neck. His head was hanging down a little, and his fingers looked a bit blue. A pose like that can decrease circulation to little limbs and can make it hard for a baby to breathe. Don’t try this at home! Remember — if a pose seems impossible, it probably is. Same situation with this image 2 — it only looks like the mother is holding the baby up high. In reality, the baby was never lifted off the beanbag. The trick is adjusting the direction of the light and shooting from above, so the angle makes it seem as if the baby is upright. I do the same thing with hammocks. I know there are people who actually put the baby into a real, hanging hammock, and that can be really dangerous. If the baby looks uncomfortable, skip it.
3
Not all poses are meant for every baby. Some babies like to curl up more than others. Others like to be on their tummies, and yet others on their backs. In my studio, I always let the baby lead the session. If the baby looks uncomfortable or isn’t settling into a specific pose, I’ll skip it and find a pose they’re comfortable in. Have a spotter nearby.

Every time I pose a baby on a beanbag or in a basket, I keep a spotter nearby. The spotter’s job is to hover over the baby while I take the photographs, and support them in case they move. Newborn babies are too weak, fragile and wobbly to hold themselves, and they can easily roll over in a way that can hurt them. Don’t rely on getting them yourself — you might be too far or too slow while you’re shooting.
134 / THE MONSEY VIEW / October 30, 2019 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Throughout newborn sessions, I constantly check for these three things: 1. Is the temperature right? The baby should be warm enough, but not too hot. I like to set the temperature to 80 degrees. If you’re using a portable heater, make sure it’s not too close or blowing directly at the baby. 2. Does the baby’s circulation look good? Do all the limbs look nice and pink? Sometimes, in certain poses, little limbs can get pinched by the rest of the baby’s weight. So watch out for those fingers and toes; if anything looks bluish, change the pose. 3. I like using fuzzy textures 5 and furry blankets, so I constantly make sure there’s no stray hair of fur getting wrapped around the baby’s fingers or toes. One little hair tangled around a toe can cause the baby lots of discomfort, so I’m always extra careful with that.
EASY POSES FOR AT-HOME SESSIONS Wrap the baby with a long, narrow piece of fabric 6 — you can get thin knit jerseys or stretchy cheesecloths from Walmart. I like to use only stretchy fabrics so that they wrap neatly, without bumps and wrinkles. Use something about 12 inches wide and between 3 and 5 feet long. Start at one end and gently wrap the baby, tucking the legs in. The wrap should be snug, but not too tight. (Make sure you can stick two fingers in and that the baby can breathe easily.) If the baby is relaxed and in a deep sleep, try leaving the hands or fingers out — it’s super cute. Lay the baby on a flat surface, like a bed. You can use a plain white blanket for a lifestyle look, or buy more of the same stretchy fabric (you’ll need a very large piece for this) and use that as the backdrop — drape the far side over the headboard and then pull gently to eliminate any creases or wrinkles. For a seamless look, the background should be gently rounded — and not creased — where the headboard meets the bed. Try something cute like this 7 with a teeny-tiny doll or teddy. Place the blanket under the baby, then drape over the legs and tuck under the chin. You can take the image from the top or sides. Another idea 8 is to take a close-up of your sleeping baby’s face. Babies are exquisitely beautiful. No props needed. Then take a closeup of the baby in Mommy’s arms. If Mommy’s looking down at the baby, take it from the top so you see Mommy’s profile in the side of the frame, but the focus should be on the baby. There’s nothing that portrays the wonderful connection between mother and baby quite like this pose.

LIGHTING AND ANGLES 7
Lighting and angles make all the difference in any image. Here’s a quick lighting and angle tip for newborn photography: Light down, shoot down. With newborn photography, you want the light to be coming from the side of the baby’s head, 9 and the shadows going down under the baby’s nose and chin. Lighting it the opposite way is called ghoul lighting, and it’s never very flattering. In regard to the angle, 10 shoot down the baby’s head. The baby’s head should always be closer to you than the rest of the body — it’s a lot more flattering for the baby. Whatever is closest to your camera looks the largest, and with babies it’s always cuter and more proportional to have the head front and center. Also, I’d much rather look down a cute little nose than up into it! Fraidy Shimon is a photographer who enters the magical world that children live in to photograph them.

As one might imagine, the Johnson & Johnson company was founded by brothers — but there were three brothers, and not two. Seems like Johnson & Johnson & Johnson would’ve been overkill… In 1886, after listening to a speech delivered by an antiseptics advocate, Robert Johnson decided to start a company that would manufacture surgical dressings. Together with his two brothers, he established the Johnson & Johnson company. Robert was a fantastic leader and served as the company’s first president. The second brother, James, was a gifted inventor and served as the brain behind the company’s products. The third brother, Edward Mead, was a natural at marketing and is credited with the company’s early successes and expansion. When the company opened its doors, it boasted one building and fourteen employees. Nowadays, Johnson & Johnson has offices in 60 countries all over the world and employs over 130,000 people.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS Robert inadvertently provided the company with its logo by signing their first joint check in his neat script with the double “Johnson & Johnson,” along with his trademark way of looping directly from the ampersand to the second Johnson. By the following year, this iconic signature was already on the packaging of their earliest products. According to their in-house historian, this logo is one of the longest-used in the world.
Another one of Robert Johnson’s contributions to the company came to be because he was sitting next to the right guy while on vacation in Colorado. Johnson was riding on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad when he found himself sitting next to the railroad’s chief surgeon. They got talking, and soon The company’s first check, with their iconic Johnson & Johnson signature the chief surgeon mentioned that due to the nature of their work, many railroad workers got seriously injured on the job. And even worse, since they were often based far from urban areas, many of them died simply because it took too long for their injuries to be treated.

ONCE UPON A BAND-AID Earl Dickson started out as a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, but then a cool idea of his propelled him up the ladder until he was vice president of the company, and eventually, on the board of directors. And a half-century after his death, he even made it to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. His invention? The humble Band-Aid. He first thought of this nifty little thing after hearing his wife complain about the nicks and small cuts she got in the kitchen. It was 1920 at the time, and there were no practical and hygienic bandage solutions around. But then Dickson had a great idea! He brought
home some of Johnson & Johnson’s antiseptic gauze and surgical tape, cut a strip of tape that was 18 inches long and 3 inches wide, stuck a strip of gauze down its middle — and voilà! He’d produced the world’s first bandage. He covered the entire thing with crinoline so it wouldn’t stick to itself, rolled it up, and from then on, all his wife had to do when she had a small injury was snip off a piece of the BandAid and apply it on the wound. Dickson’s supervisor very much liked this new product, and he told a very impressed Robert Johnson all about it. A year later, these Band-Aid’s hit the shelf, still in their original, longer form.
This was a lightbulb moment for Johnson, and he immediately thought: What if they could sell ready kits stocked with first-aid supplies? This was a novel idea at the time, and the product immediately took off. Soon the company produced two versions of this first-aid kit, one for railroad workers and another for the general population. The kit included sterile dressings, surgical tape and sutures, and very soon it was saving lives.
In 1898, when the Spanish-American War broke out, Robert Johnson, as company president, instituted a policy that was very rare at the time. If an employee would be joining the military, he announced, then his position would be waiting for him upon his return from war. Furthermore, Johnson & Johnson would continue paying their salaries while they were at the front.
Nowadays, the company still provides their employees with the same benefits, and even offers some paid time off after their return home so they can more easily acclimate to civilian life.

BRANDS YOU KNOW The following are all brands owned by Johnson & Johnson — and this is but a small sampling: Acuvue | Aveeno | Band-Aid | Benadryl | Bengay | Johnson’s Baby | Lactaid | Listerine Lubriderm | Motrin | Mylanta | Neutrogena | Reach | Tylenol
IN THE NEWS THE TYLENOL MURDERS
1,4-dioxane, two very harmful substances.
In 1982, seven individuals in Chicago suddenly died after swallowing Extra Strength Tylenol. Police quickly intervened, and they discovered that each of the victims owned bottles of Tylenol whose capsules had been covered in cyanide, a fatal poison. Within a week, Johnson & Johnson announced a nationwide recall, and 31 million bottles of Tylenol were pulled off the shelves. The company’s quick response was highly praised.
Under the growing pressure of an angry public, the company announced that formaldehyde gets released when one eats an apple, as well, and that 1,4-dioxane was present in such trace amounts that there was no way it could be harmful. However, at the same time, they would be putting approximately two hundred scientists to work to create the identical product — but without the harmful ingredients. This process would take two years, but Johnson & Johson was committed to seeing this project through all the way to the end, and they did. Because as the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics says, “When in doubt, take it out.”
This string of Tylenol murders, as they were called, led to reforms being implemented in regard to the safe packaging of medications and the use of seals to prevent tampering.
While the Tylenol murders were not the fault of Johnson & Johnson, there were many times in the history of the company that they came under the scrutiny of consumers, environmental groups and watchdog groups like the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics due to questionable ingredients included in their products.
More recently, Johnson & Johnson took much flak after consumers learned that their popular No More Tears baby shampoo contained formaldehyde, which was released over time by a preservative named quaternium-15, and

Just a few days ago, on October 18, Johnson & Johnson voluntarily issued a recall on all 22-ounce bottles of their famed baby powder after the FDA found trace amounts of asbestos in a bottle purchased online. This was the first time asbestos was detected in Johnson’s baby powder. According to Fox News, Johnson’s other baby powder products and bottles of other sizes were not affected. While Johnson & Johnson has issued a statement saying that this product is not dangerous, the pharmaceutical company faces thousands of pending lawsuits filed by consumers who claim that the brand’s baby powder causes cancer.
