(Re: How Awesome Is Anxiety?, Issue 285) Thank you for the article on childhood fears. I believe that our generation is one in which children are constantly being diagnosed as abnormal for normal childhood behaviors. Therefore, I appreciated that the article mentioned that “nothing is ‘wrong’ with children who display less-than-perfect behaviors; they’re not broken and they don’t have to be fixed.” M.N.

(Re: How Awesome Is Anxiety?, Issue 285) I loved this past week’s article on overcoming anxiety. The writer pointed out the positive aspects of an anxious child in such a nice way. I suffer from PTSD, and when others can’t understand how something “so small” was traumatic to me, the reality is similar to what you described in the article; since I’m a very emotional person (and this is true in the positive as well), I therefore get more affected emotionally than others. As an aside, the recipe for the cinnamon coffee was really delicious, and I can’t wait to try it again. Thank you, S.M.

(Re: Issue 285 — Conquering the Crippling Fear) I read with interest the article on anxiety. Rabbi Halpern shares beautiful ways to deal with fears and teach children to cope with them. In addition, from my experience working with clients to heal trauma, I’ve learned that most anxieties and fears result from past traumas and intense emotions that were trapped in the body; when eliminated, the fears and anxieties mostly disappear. (The article on hypnosis so beautifully shared one way of eliminating the trauma.) Perhaps a fear may stem from a time your child was at the scene

If you suspect this might be the case with your child, give them the gift of releasing the trauma at the core, which will then free them up from having to deal with the associated fears and anxieties as they go on in life.

(Re: Week in Review, Issue 283) I am currently visiting my daughter from out of town, and I was reading your publication on Shabbos when the news feature discussing plasma treatment for COVID-19 patients caught my eye. After Shabbos I began feeling under the weather and went to get a rapid antigen test. The results were positive! Remembering the article, I immediately went to the ER at Good Sam and was able to get the MAB infusion treatment. Baruch Hashem, I am feeling okay, with just some mild symptoms, as expected. Everything, of course, is b’hashgacha pratis, but as Chazal say, “M’galgelin zechus al yedei zakai.” So thanks for the timely information that helped preserve my health. A Grateful Reader
MY STORY, TOO (Re: Issue 282 — Going Against the Grain) Thank you for an amazing weekly magazine. The topics you cover always hit home and are so refreshing! The issue you produced on the topic of celiac disease was especially on-target for me. It seemed like somebody had written my own story! Hendy Friedman’s series is teaching me a lot, and the recipes featured in that original issue on celiac disease are really adding delicious flavor to our Shabbos meals. Thank you, M.S.

DIET DIRECTION (Re: Issue 282 — Going Against the Grain) I’d like to extend a thank-you for the gluten-free recipes and for the entire issue on celiac disease.

THE QUEST, CONTINUED (Re: Quest for the Perfect Pan, Issue 176) I’m currently in need of some new kitchenware, and while looking into my options, I remembered reading a
feature in your magazine on the topic of toxic materials used in the production of pots and pans. I’m looking into pans by the Gotham Steel brand now, and I’d like to know whether their ceramic-coated products are safe. Would you be able to help me? A Concerned Cook RUCHY REESE RESPONDS: Another reader asked me about Gotham pans in the past, and I responded with the below (with some updated comments): I did a quick peek into Gotham Steel, and though I can’t tell you much about
the actual safety of their products, I did find the company to be somewhat deceptive by claiming to carry steel pans, when a small disclaimer on the product says: “High-grade aluminum with a stainless steel handle.” Even though the Ti-Cerama (titanium-ceramic) coating should theoretically prevent the aluminum from leaching into the food and should be free of the toxic chemicals referenced in the article, I would be cautious with a brand that won’t be upfront about the makeup of their products. Additionally, I’ve read poor reviews on the company in question.

YOUR VOICE NO ANTIBODIES, NO PROTECTION Dear Neighbor, We are a community known for its chesed, so please consider a chesed that takes little effort and has a large impact. There are many of us in town who have not contracted the virus and/or don’t have antibodies. My friends and I,
for instance, have spent most of the past eleven months at home. We don’t go to simchos or shul. We miss being with our friends, children and grandchildren. And whenever we do get together with our children, it’s with trepidation and unease. Going to the grocery is one of the few necessary outings that I allow myself. Unfortunately, however, it’s difficult to shop local. Thank you to all the stores that insist that both employees and patrons wear masks for setting an example of an atmosphere that is safe and respectful for shoppers. If you are a local shopper, please consider this: When you wear your mask, you enable people like me to shop local and show respect to the medical and emotional needs of other people. By doing so, you’re taking your proud and rightful place among our nation of gomlei chasadim. Tizku l’mitzvos, Your 60+ Neighbor Without Antibodies

PARSHAS MISHPATIM If the Tables Were Turned
When lending money to another Yid, it is forbidden to charge interest, as the pasuk states, “When you lend money to My people, to the poor person who is with you… you shall not impose interest upon him” (Shemos 22:24). The words “he’ani imach – the poor person [who is] with you” seem superfluous. After all, where else should the poor person be when signing off the transaction? Isn’t that selfunderstood?

THE SHIDDUCH MADE HEADLINES. All of Poland was abuzz with the exciting news of the engagement of Reb Nachum’s daughter to Reb Gedalya’s son. This was going to be a wedding to remember. After all, when two of Poland’s most affluent families unite, the entire community follows every detail. The months passed, and the wedding date was soon approaching. It first began as unverified gossip, but before long the rumors were official: Reb Nachum’s business had taken a turn for the worse. Things got so bad that soon Reb Nachum had no more than your typical pauper on the street. It was clear he would not be able to fulfill his end of the financial deal the two mechutanim had agreed upon at the time of the engagement. Reb Gedalya penned a lengthy letter, expressing his heartfelt wishes to his mechutan in regard to his dismal plight, yet making it clear that he had no choice but to call off the shidduch. To his surprise, Reb Nachum rejected the overture, replying that he was an ones and could not be considered liable for the turn of events. The initial sense of pity Reb Gedalya had for his poor mechutan turned to anger. He sent him a second letter, writing in no uncertain terms that the matter was non-negotiable. The shidduch was off. Reb Nachum sent back his terse reply: “The shidduch is min haShamayim. I won’t call it off for matters of money.” With no choice, Reb Gedalya traveled to Reb Nachum’s home and requested that he join him on a trip to Sanz. They
would ask the Rebbe, the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, what to do. But Reb Nachum refused, and Reb Gedalya headed off on his own, intending to have the Rebbe summon Reb Nachum to beis din for a din Torah. It was Friday afternoon when Reb Gedalya arrived. The gabbaim, who would typically not allow anyone in to speak with the Rebbe so close to Shabbos, made an exception for this notable philanthropist. “It’s a mazel you came to me,” the Rebbe said after hearing Reb Gedalya’s tale of woe. “But now isn’t the time for lengthy discussions. After Shabbos, I’ll tell you just what to do.” Shabbos passed calmly. Reb Gedalya was relaxed with the knowledge that the Rebbe was supporting him. After Havdalah, Reb Gedalya was the first to enter the Rebbe’s room. “Don’t wait!” the Rebbe said, “Travel to your mechutan immediately and tell him that since his wheel of fortune turned, you would like to change the conditions of the shidduch contract. The wedding will go on, but you will cover the entire expense on your own.” The room was spinning. Reb Gedalya was too stunned to digest the words his ears heard. Was this for real? But the Rebbe was sitting before him, in all authenticity, a soft smile on his face. It took a few moments for Reb Gedalya to compose himself enough to say, “I am ready to do whatever the Rebbe says, but I don’t understand one thing. What changed over Shabbos? On Friday, the Rebbe assured me that it was a good thing I came. Any other beis din
would surely be on my side…” “Ah,” the Rebbe replied, “it seems you didn’t understand my words on Erev Shabbos. I said that it was a mazel that you came to me – and not your mechutan! Imagine if things would have been different, if your mazel had changed and your mechutan would be standing here before me. How would you feel if you lost your fortune and your mechutan was
begging you to rescind the shidduch? You should be very grateful to Hakadosh Baruch Hu that you are the one standing before me right now.” * * * * * This answers our question according to the Alter of Kelm. When a pauper asks for help, one should visualize how things
would look if the tables were turned. How would you feel if you were that poor person relying upon the help of others? Once you feel the “ani imach,” the sensitivity of the poor person inside of you, your approach to helping him will be that much more compassionate. Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.
Did You Know? Lending money with interest can be compared to the bite of a poisonous snake. The poison is not immediately evident, but soon it overwhelms the person. Much the same way, interest is hardly evident at first, but with time it adds up to an overwhelming sum. GOING ON A DIET WAS NEVER THIS EASY! Program includes: Breakfast • lunch • dinner• 2 snacks

Chaverim Responds to Record Number of Calls During Monster Snowstorm The havoc created by a 22-inch snowfall was no match for the power of Chaverim of Rockland, with approximately 120 volunteers and 25 dispatchers responding to 2,158 calls during the two-day nor’easter. Yeshiva World News reported that Chaverim worked around the clock as calls from stranded motorists, families making simchos and people in need of medical treatment stormed their phone lines. According to Chaverim coordinator Yossi Margaretten, there was one moment last Monday
when the snow was particularly heavy, with 40 calls for assistance coming in within a single minute. “People needed help,” said Margaretten. “Some were stranded and everyone was nervous. It was definitely a busy time for us.” Even as Monsey reported New York’s highest snowfalls in the area, there were still weddings scheduled at four local halls — Ateres Charna, Ateres Chayei Sura, Vilchovitz and Garden Paradise. Chaverim drove chasanim, kallahs and their family members to and from those Monday night weddings, and they were also on hand for brissim scheduled on Tuesday morning. There were also calls from people who were stuck in their cars and others who needed to get to hospitals, dialysis treatments, and other medical appointments. “On top of all that we still had our daily calls coming in and a few cases of elderly men who were going to shul and fell in the snow and couldn’t get up,” explained Margaretten. Margaretten estimated that he got three hours of sleep during the two-day snowstorm. “My guys were working,” said Margaretten. “How could I sleep?”
New Cell Towers Eliminate PIP Dead Zones Northbound motorists on the Palisades Interstate Parkway heading from Rockland County to Kiryas Joel, the Catskills and beyond can talk to their hearts’ content now that two new cell phone towers have put an end to dropped calls in the Bear Mountain region. State Senator James Skoufis first called for the towers last February along with then-Senator David Carlucci, reported VIN News. Skoufis learned firsthand just how frustrating the lack of service in the area was when his car broke down on the Parkway approximately a year ago, and he had do resort to hitchhiking for the first time in his life since he wasn’t able to call for help. Verizon began construction on the two towers last July, one located at the southern end of the Anthony Wayne Recreation Area on the Palisades, and the other situated at Bear Mountain State Park’s Over-
130 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
look Lodge. Now that the two towers have been activated, Verizon customers will have full coverage in the former dead zone, and other carriers will have the ability to lease space from Verizon and put up their own antennae on the towers to serve their subscribers. Skoufis announced the towers’ completion, writing, “My thanks to Verizon for doing the right thing for our residents and EMS by expediting this project. Thousands of New Yorkers drive through this area, and these improvements will help keep residents and visitors safe, as well as make EMS services more accessible around Bear Mountain.”
As New Data Shows Significantly Underreported Nursing Home Deaths, More Democrats Join Push to Revoke Cuomo’s Emergency Powers Newly released data that shows per-home fatality rates in New York’s nursing homes are casting Albany in a less-thanflattering light, with the state now holding the dubious honor of having the thirteenth-highest nursing home death rate in the United States. Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Department of Health had proudly touted New York’s nursing home death rate as lower than average, with the state having been ranked 35th in the country But after a 76-page report released by Attorney General Letitia James accused the Department of Health of underreporting the number of nursing home–related deaths by nearly 50%, a judge ordered the Department of Health to release all of its records on the matter last week, saying its failure to do so violated state law. The new data offers a grim view of last spring, when Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients. It also includes the number of deaths inside nursing homes as well as those of patients who contracted the virus
in a nursing home but died elsewhere, information that had not been previously reported. The original statistics for Boro Park Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare showed just 32 COVID-19 deaths, but the latest DOH information shows that another 41 of the facility’s patients died in hospitals. Similar data emerged in Monsey, where just four COVID-19 patient deaths had been documented at the Northern Metropolitan Residential Health Care Facility, with the new information reporting that four more patients passed away due to the virus after being transferred out of the home. Sheepshead Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Brooklyn showed the largest change, with only nine in-house deaths reported, but fifty more fatalities now shown by the DOH’s latest data. The DOH had refused to provide the data, which had been requested by the Empire Center for Public Policy under a Freedom of Information Law request for months. Its release last weekend came when state senators Liz Krueger and Alesandra Biaggi, both Democrats, joined a Republican effort in the legislature to revoke emergency powers granted to Cuomo last spring because of the pandemic. According to Hamodia, Biaggi noted that Cuomo had issued 65 executive orders and suspended 250 others during the first six months when he had complete control over the state. In addition to enacting measures to control the spread of COVID-19, such as limiting public gatherings and closing businesses, Cuomo’s executive orders also required bar patrons to order food along with their beverages and waived annual performance reviews for public school teachers, reported WGRZ. “In the beginning it was probably necessary during the pandemic, but the time has come for this control to be rescinded,” said Republican State Senator Edward Rath. The first ten attempts in the legislature to wrest control of the state back from Cuomo came exclusively from Republicans, but an eleventh try in December had seven Democrats crossing the aisle to support the effort. Since the release of James’s scathing report, Assembly Democrats have been holding closed-door meetings, reportedly discussing how best to revoke the governor’s emergency powers.
Lev Teen Center Holds Inaugural Shabbaton With piles of snow outside, Lev Teen Center celebrated a beautiful, warm Shabbaton in Hunter, New York. Lev Teen Center is a local spot for boys in the streets. Their programs include night seder, a game room and job placement. This Shabbos, February 5, was their inaugural Shabbaton. Greene Mountain View Inn was full of good energy and excitement. The davening was beautiful, with exuberant singing and good vibes. The boys enjoyed the meals and program so much that they seemed to never want to end as the seudos extended for hours. The positivity and warmth and fun this Shabbos led to one boy commenting, “Can we do this every week?”

CHAPTER NINETEEN RECAP: Reb
Elazar and his wife spend Shabbos with Aryeh and Bassi’s family in the Galilee. They bring Shlomo and Osher along with them. Osher, in particular, is enthralled with the beautiful nature setting. He bonds with Gadi, whom Osher suspects of having ADHD just like him.
O
ne thing managed to beautify even this dirty patch of yard outside her window: the sunrise. Ariella woke up at 4:30 in the morning, and because she’d gone to bed relatively early, couldn’t fall back asleep. She rose, washed her hands, got dressed and stood near the window. A slow, dark rain was falling, which Ariella assumed would only turn the sand outside her window to mud. Suddenly something cleared up, and despite the cold, she opened the shutter slats and stuck her head outside. The sky was still dark, but ever so slowly, it began to turn lighter and lighter. A wet ray of light bounced off the freshly washed stones of the wall and gave the garden a different look, as if it wasn’t filled with overflowing garbage cans and there wasn’t a cat trying to hide in the shadow of one of them. “I don’t know what to tell you… I just don’t think so.” She jumped. The voice seemed to be coming from right under her window. Who was standing there and talking? “But… I told her already that she could!” “It’s really too bad… I should have known about this. It’s one thing if you want to rent the room out — even though I think you should continue looking for graphic jobs. They bring in more money than a rental every half a year does. But even if we are renting the room out for now, just until you have work, why did you invite her for the meals? You know that I’m exhausted by the time Shabbos comes, and that all I want is my family and my peace and quiet — no

extra people, no guests.” Ariella recoiled as if she’d been stung, and her hand groped for the handle of the shutters. “So what do you want me to do? What should I tell her now?” “Now? You can’t tell her anything now. You invited her already. But please, for next week…” “She won’t be here anymore next week. She’s here for a week, just until next Thursday.” “And maybe I won’t stay for this Shabbos, either,” Ariella whispered to herself behind the closed window. But what should she do now? Knock on Miriam’s door and tell her that in the end she preferred to eat by herself? She didn’t want to continue renting the room, either, if she wasn’t wanted. So what were her options? Could she find a new place? She sat down and forced herself to analyze the situation in a calm frame of mind. Shabbos would be upon them in less than ten hours. There wasn’t enough time to find a room elsewhere… But food — she could manage with that. What would Miriam say? Would she be offended if she heard that Ariella had suddenly changed her plans? Would she realize that Ariella had heard the exchange through the window? She’d need to find a tactful way to do this. An hour later, she locked the door and quickly passed the other door. She didn’t ask Miriam for guidance getting around the city; her natural sense of direction would hopefully be enough, at least until she’d figure out exactly what to tell her hostess. First she found a cute little grocery owned by a frum person. She bought grape juice, challah rolls, three dips, fish in a jar, and a package of “chicken schnitzel with vegetables,” wondering how much chicken was there and how much of the “vegetables” could actually count as real vegetables. Next to the register she added two packages of dark chocolate, and then paid for it all. Outside the grocery, she boarded the first local bus that pulled up to the bus stop. Where it would take her made no difference; for now she needed to become somewhat familiar with Acco. The bus was almost empty, and Ariella sat down with her bags near the back door. She wanted very much to get to know the city so that she could start looking for Osher. The bus was definitely providing what she needed; she quickly realized that it was a long, circuitous route that picked up and dropped off passengers at every bus stop and went into almost every street. The driver, it seemed, had all the time in the world. Excellent. She also had nowhere to hurry to right now. Go back to her quarters? She wanted to push off the conversation with Miriam for as long as possible.
Ariella recoiled as if she’d been stung, and her hand groped for the handle of the shutters.

שרה שני
On the other hand… Ariella sighed. She had to tell her hostess that she’d changed her plans. It wasn’t fair to have Miriam continue cooking and preparing for her if Ariella would be canceling. The bus entered a very narrow street, with stores lining both sides. Ariella took out her phone, but didn’t dial yet. Because right near one of the stores she noticed a few boys wearing yarmulkes. They appeared to be in their teens and were wearing black pants and white shirts. Ariella studied the boys. One of them, the one with his back to the road, reminded her of Osher. She bit her lip, wondering if she should press the buzzer and get off at the next stop. But then the boy turned around, and she realized that it was not Osher after all. She looked at her phone again, trying to find Miriam’s number. But she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she couldn’t focus. What if that boy had been Osher? Would the right decision have been to get off the bus and into his range of vision? No way! She didn’t want him to know that she was in town, at least not before she found out what exactly he was up to. She smiled ironically to herself. White shirts, black pants… She could not be sure at all that those were the kind of clothes Osher was wearing this morning. She had a lot of faith in Osher, but to delude herself with foolish dreams was a mistake that wouldn’t get her anywhere. Ariella stuck her hand out and rang the buzzer. By now she’d seen the city by bus, and she needed to walk around a little, especially as the bus was filling up and she wouldn’t be able to speak to Miriam like this anyway. She got off and walked into a quiet, well-tended side street. But before she’d had a chance to look for Miriam’s number again her hostess beat her to it. “Ariella?” “Hi, Miriam, good morning. How are you?”
“Baruch Hashem, fine. I hope I didn’t wake you. I knocked gently but didn’t get any response.” “Oh, I’m not in my room anymore. I went out for a bit,” Ariella replied lightly. “Really? Wow, you’re an early bird! It’s only nine-fifteen!” Ariella smiled. “I guess so…”
you mentioned before, I hope you didn’t get too much done yet.” “What do you mean?” “I hope you didn’t start cooking yet.” “I actually didn’t, besides for the soup that I made last night. Why?” Her hostess’s voice was laced with surprise. “Because I’m really sorry, and maybe we’ll have another opportunity, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to eat the meals with you this Shabbos. I prefer to eat them by myself. Because…” But before she managed to formulate some kind of coherent excuse, Miriam rushed in and said, “It’s all right, Ariella. Don’t worry about it. Maybe it’ll work out another time…” Ariella grinned, barely able to contain her sigh of relief.
“Enough with this nonsense, Gadi!” Aryeh felt that he had to step in and cut this conversation short. “Mommy said no such thing.”
142 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
“I was also pretty good this morning,” Miriam continued. “I like to get up early on Friday to cook. So I’ve actually gotten a few things done that might interest you.” “Yes?” Ariella didn’t know how to answer. She was afraid of Miriam’s accomplishments on the cooking front, and was annoyed with herself for not having knocked on her hostess’s door before she’d left. “The first friend I spoke to knows Sarah Reiness very well!” “Really?” Ariella was taken aback. She hadn’t realized that their search for information was what Miriam had been referring to. “Yes, she took her daughter to Mrs. Reiness’ clinic after an orthodontist recommended that she go for speech therapy to help maintain the work he’d done.” “Hmm…” Ariella tried to keep her thoughts focused. She would listen to what Miriam had to say, and then she’d figure out how to tell her that she would be declining her Shabbos invitation. Or rather, canceling on her. “She’s an excellent therapist, chareidi, and very successful. A really lovely woman.” “Great, I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for finding this out, Miriam!” And before Miriam could say anything else, Ariella resolved to just say her piece and get it over with. “As for the cooking
***** “There is still no eiruv here,” Aryeh warned Shlomo and Osher as they were about to leave the house after the Friday night meal. “So if you have anything in your pockets, take it out. You can only carry in our yard.” Osher checked his pockets. “Nothing here,” he said. After a second, his eyebrows rose in surprise, and his fingers pulled a long object out of his pocket. “Hey, what’s this? Oh, it’s Gadi’s.” He handed it to the boy’s father, who looked at the clear plastic tube filled with an unidentifiable mixture. “What is this?” Aryeh asked. “No idea. In the middle of the meal, Gadi asked me to watch it for him.” “Gadi?” Aryeh called. The boy dashed out of one of the bedrooms, barefoot and clad in pajamas. “What is this that you asked Osher to keep for you?” his father asked. “That? Oh, you can throw it out…” Gadi wrinkled his nose. “What is it?” “It’s the container from the old thermometer that broke. Mommy told me
she doesn’t need it anymore. I wanted to put some food in it for Shlomo.” Shlomo, who was standing near the door and waiting for Osher, turned around to look at the tube. “I think that if Shlomo were still hungry, Mommy would agree to serve him larger portions than this,” Aryeh said with a smile. “What’s in here?” “Some grape juice and challah, and the imitation fish, and corn soup, and kneidlach. Osher, I gave it to you to keep, but my mother doesn’t let me give it to him in the end.” “To keep it for whom?” the sixteen-year-old asked. “You didn’t tell me anything, Gadi.” “For Shlomo; the food is for him. My mother said she doesn’t let me give him food anymore, because she doesn’t want him to be so happy that he’ll want to stay on.” “Enough with this nonsense, Gadi!” Aryeh felt that he had to step in and cut this conversation short. “Mommy said no such thing. You know she loves having guests!” “But not such a guest,” the boy said, clearly sad. “She told me so just before Shabbos. She said she doesn’t want me to get close to Shlomo anymore, and that it would be better if he moved away from our area as quickly as possible.” Aryeh patted Shomo’s shoulder reassuringly. “I’m going to find out what this is all about, because this conversation is getting stranger every second. It’s not possible that my wife would —” The boy with the longish hair shrugged, an I-couldn’tcare-less expression on his face. “Yes, ask her, Tatty, please!” Gadi cried. “And tell her that I’m begging you to let him stay here! He’s not dangerous! Please, Tatty!” Shlomo’s face was getting redder by the minute; by now it was nearing purple. Gadi’s father suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Oh!” he said. “Are you talking about the fox that was wandering around here, Gadi?” “Of course! Who else would I be talking about?” “Oy, Gadi! Don’t you know that Uncle Elazar’s talmid, our guest here, is also named Shlomo?” “Oh, right. I forgot.” Gadi flashed a smile at the guest. “I think it’s a great name for a fox. You’re not angry, Shlomo, are you?” “No,” the boy said. “Couldn’t you find a better name?” Ayreh asked. “Nope. I spoke to Osher about names before Shabbos, and even he couldn’t think of anything better.” “Hmm. We might have to consider a name change anyway,” Aryeh said. “And like Mommy told you, we don’t want you to give the fox food, because it’ll make him want to stay. Besides, it’s assur to feed wild animals on Shabbos — did you know that, Gadi?” “So what’ll happen with him?!” “He’ll manage. Just like Hashem took care of him and all the other creations of his kind before we came to live here, He’ll continue to do so now. Good night, Gadi,” Aryeh said cheerfully. “To bed, please, now!” To be continued…

Congress Passes Key Step for COVID-19 Relief THE PULSE: At about 5:30 early Friday morning, the Senate voted along party lines to adopt a budget resolution allowing for the fast track of President Biden’s COVID-19 relief plan. Vice President Kamala Harris passed the tie-breaking vote. Later in the day, the House voted 219-209 to approve the measure. The resolution makes it possible to move the COVID-19 relief bill through the Senate with a simple majority and avoid a potential filibuster through the process of budget reconciliation. Senate Republicans expressed disappointment that the administration is choosing a partisan approach to the $1.9 trillion relief bill instead of adopting something closer to their $600 billion counteroffer presented to the president last week. The president believes that the Republican offer is not bold enough and that the economy requires a considerable stimulus to avoid stagnation. The administration appears willing to accept one point of the Republican’s proposal, which would target the $1,400 stimulus checks to middle- and low-income families and phase out payments for higher earners. A bipartisan amendment calling for a more targeted stimulus passed the upper chamber 99-1. Biden’s bill also calls for enhanced child tax credits for the upcoming year. Democratic leaders in Congress have drafted legislation that would provide par-
150 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
ents with fully refundable tax credits of $3,600 per child for children under the age of 6 and $3,000 for children ages 6 through 17. The payments will be available in monthly installments beginning in July of this year. Republican Senator Mitt Romney introduced an alternative plan to provide permanent monthly child payments to parents. Romney’s bill is revenue-neutral as it eliminates other government expenditures. THE IMPACT: The lackluster January jobs report released last Friday provided the president with additional ammunition to make the case that the economy needs the extra stimulus. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that she believed that the U.S. could return to full employment by the end of next year if Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus is passed. Yellen cited an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office that without a stimulus package, full employment would not return until 2025. Former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers penned an op-ed in The Washington Post where he argued that a large stimulus is necessary but that the Biden plan is too large. He expressed concern that Biden’s plan might inadvertently trigger inflationary pressures on the U.S. economy and that Biden would use up precious political capital best saved for passing his Build Back Better infrastructure plan. Yellin countered that Summer’s concerns were small compared to the risks of doing too little and that the U.S. has tools to deal with inflation should it arise.

Biden Faces Hurdles on Iran Policy THE PULSE: President Biden said that the U.S. would not lift sanctions against Iran until Iran first stopped enriching uranium. Biden responded to comments by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who stated that Iran would not return to compliance with the nuclear deal until the U.S. lifted sanctions. Over the past year, Iran has increased its uranium production at its Fordo facility and significantly cut its nuclear breakout time. Last month it expressed its intention to begin research into uranium metal, a step that would bring them closer to bomb-making capacity. The Biden administration has expressed willingness to rejoin the JCPOA, but only once Iran comes back into full compliance. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told a Senate committee that “if Iran comes back into full compliance with its obligations under the [deal], the United States would do the same.” Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan lauded Biden’s response and said, “I think it is a very, very positive sign.” However, Erdan stressed that the Israeli government remains opposed to America rejoining the Iranian nuclear deal. Still, he expressed hope that American and Israeli national security officials would reach common ground on the matter.
THE IMPACT: Biden is committed to reengaging with in-
ternational bodies and engaging in diplomacy. However, the ICC controversy shows that Biden’s commitment to diplomacy has its limits. America remains opposed to the International Criminal Court’s overreach because it believes it will wrongly target American and Israeli citizens.
Biden Rescinds Trump’s Immigration Orders THE PULSE: President Biden issued multiple executive orders aimed at undoing much of Trump’s strict immigration policies. Biden ordered a review of Trump’s “public charge” rule, which would place limits on the immigration of those who would likely need to make use of government assistance programs. He also established a task force aimed at reuniting the 545 children who were separated from their parents at the border. Additionally, Biden signed an order that would prevent taxpayer money from paying to complete the border wall. He said that “building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution. It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security.” Biden also proposed a pathway to citizenship to millions of dreamers who arrived in the country illegally as children.
THE IMPACT: The Biden administration is in the process of
forming its Iran policy team. The Biden administration tapped Rob Malley, a former lead negotiator on the Iran Nuclear Deal as a special Iran envoy. Malley’s appointment received criticism from many in the pro-Israel camp who believe that he is too soft on Iran and not sufficiently receptive to Isreal’s security concerns. However, Barak Ravid of Axios reported that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken instructed Malley to form an Iran team with diverse views. According to multiple sources, Blinken asked Malley to include people “more hawkish” on Iran. Blinken is committed to forming a team with a range of opinions to avoid the trap of groupthink on this pressing issue.
THE IMPACT: Biden is charting an approach distinct from Trump regarding illegal migrants crossing at the southern border. The Trump administration stressed strict compliance and enforcement, which would deter border crossers from attempting to enter illegally. Biden believes that it is best to address the root cause that drives migrants to make the journey in the first place. The administration is committed to focusing on the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Biden plans to funnel aid to these countries to combat gang violence, strengthen democracy and boost the economy.
Biden Administration Opposes ICC Decision on Israel
Trump’s Second Impeachment Trial Set to Begin
THE PULSE: The International Criminal Court announced its decision to investigate Israeli actions in the West Bank and Gaza. Israel is not a signatory of the Rome Statute of the ICC, and as such, the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Israeli actions. The ICC is claiming jurisdiction on the basis that the Palestinian territories are Palestinian land, and that therefore, the court has jurisdiction over acts committed in those areas. The Trump administration strongly opposed the ICC’s actions and placed sanctions on several ICC members. The Biden administration has committed to reviewing those sanctions but has not removed them. In response to the ICC decision to proceed with the investigation, State Department spokesman Ned Price said, “Israel is not a State Party to the Rome Statute. We will continue to uphold President Biden’s strong commitment to Israel and its security, including opposing actions that seek to target Israel unfairly.”
THE PULSE: The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is set to begin this week. The trial is likely to be hasty as it is improbable that Democrats can reach the two-thirds majority required for conviction. A lengthy trial is not in the interests of Republicans who want to put the events of January 6 behind them and Democrats who want to move on to Biden’s ambitious policy agenda. President Trump’s lead lawyer David Schoen asked the Senate to suspend the trial from sundown on Friday through Saturday to accommodate his Shabbos observance. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who often refers to himself as the “shomer” of Brooklyn, acceded to the request. Should the trial last past 5:24 on Friday afternoon, it will be suspended until 6:25 p.m. on Saturday and likely resume Sunday afternoon. Schoen also wrote that he would not “want to in any way interfere with anyone’s religious observance on Sunday, (but) perhaps since the proceedings do not commence
152 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
TRUST THE DOWN EXPERT
each day until the afternoon, Sunday proceedings will not affect anyone else’s religious practice.” This is not the first time that Shabbos observance has conflicted with an impeachment trial. During the 1999 impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman would walk four miles from his Georgetown apartment to the Senate chamber and avoid the use of elevators on Shabbos.

Cheney Keeps Leadership Role, Taylor Greene Loses Committee Appointments
THE IMPACT: The controversy surrounding Liz Cheney and Majorie Taylor Greene highlights the growing rift between pro- and anti-Trump forces in the GOP. While a significant portion of the Republican base remains avid supporters of the former president, a defiant Cheney told Fox News that the former president “does not have a role as a leader of our party going forward.” A point of importance is that Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) believed that they had gained enough support to remove Cheney. Last week, anti-Cheney elements claimed that they had secured the support of 115 Republican House members who were committed to removing Cheney from her post. However, in the secret ballot, only 61 Republicans voted in favor of her removal. This appears to bear out the argument that what Republican representatives say in public is different from what they believe in private. Apparently, many Republicans fear the backlash of Trump supporters and do not want to face pro-Trump primary challengers. However, in private, they are willing to support those who oppose the former president.

THE PULSE: In a secret vote, Republican House members voted against removing Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position over her vote to impeach President Trump. The vote was a lopsided 145-61 in Cheney’s favor. However, the Wyoming Republican Party voted to censure Cheney for her actions. Cheney was defiant in her response. She said that “The oath that I took to the Constitution compelled me to vote for impeachment, and it doesn’t bend to partisanship. It doesn’t bend to political pressure.” In the other hot button House controversy, House Republicans refused to remove Majorie Taylor Greene from her committee appointments. In response, House Democrats took the unusual step of bringing a resolution to strip her of her assignments to the House floor for a vote. The vote passed the House 230-199. Eleven Republicans joined with Democrats to remove her. Supporters of the resolution claimed that the extreme action was warranted due to Taylor Greene’s past support for comments deemed anti-Semitic and for her past expressions of support for comments calling for the execution of Nancy Pelosi.

Until recently, most of us hardly paid any attention to our sense of smell. Our olfactory nerves were just there, doing their job, enhancing life in so many ways. Sometimes our ability to smell was temporarily compromised, but we could usually rely on our noses to scout out our surroundings for us and let us know what’s cooking and what needs to be eliminated from the environment. And then COVID-19 hit, and so many with astute senses were suddenly befuddled when foods started to taste like cardboard and smell like — sniff, sniff — nothing. First in a trickle, and then in waves, the world at large was introduced to anosmia, smell blindness, and its crony ageusia (loss of taste), and we suddenly realized how much richness and function these senses add to the experience of life. “It’s temporary,” we were told. Two weeks, three weeks, tops four weeks, and then we’ll be reclaiming our senses. And most did. But months passed, and for some, smell disturbances still stubbornly cling.
Loss of smell and/or taste is one of the cardinal signs of the coronavirus, often the only symptom in otherwise asymptomatic individuals. As of January it was reported that some 86% of people with mild COVID-19 cases had smell disturbances, and many also had taste disturbances. In most cases the sense of smell had returned by 21 days, but about 5% have not yet recovered olfactory function.

“What I miss most? Coffee!” The chief complaint among adults still suffering the lingering gustative effects of the coronavirus is that they can’t enjoy the bitter brew like they used to. Alterations in the taste of this beloved energy-giving beverage leave many frustrated, and in an attempt to make it more palatable, some have cut the sweetener; others mask the bitter taste with a cube of milk chocolate in the mouth; and still others have resorted to drinking caffeinated tea or have given up on caffeine altogether. Gitty: At first I thought my percolator was the issue — chemicals seemed to be leaching into the water. When I replaced my urn and the problem persisted, I bought a new jar of coffee thinking that perhaps there’d been an issue with production. Only later did it dawn on me that it was my taste buds. It’s been months since I’ve drank a coffee cup for pleasure — I now do so for functional purposes only! I do find, though, that iced coffees and cap-
Alphabet Soup puccinos taste quite good (and familiar), so I often treat myself to those. Another greatly altered culinary experience for those afflicted with these issues is fish. Some with smell alterations cannot stand the smell of cooking fish and resort to only purchased seafood. Others cannot eat them at all. Similar complaints were heard from people finding raw chicken hard to prepare. Gavriel: I had my wife try a new salmon recipe because her fish suddenly began tasting and smelling so very fishy. I then purchased the salmon slices at a different fish store, until I realized the issue was in the way my brain now perceives the smell and taste of fish. What I found to be helpful is to eat only baked fish, which to me tastes much better. (And I’m the guy who would turn my nose at baked fish, always preferring traditional cooked salmon.) Some avoid garlic, others onions. Every person with compromised smell and taste will tell you their own version of what they can’t smell, what they can’t taste, and what they avoid at all costs.
There are various ways smell disturbances manifest. While there are those with anosmia — their sense of smell is completely “blind,” so to speak — others have hyposmia, which is a partial loss of smell. Hardest still is dysosmia, where there is a perception of smell but it’s completely distorted, mostly in very unpleasant ways; this manifests as either parosmia, where pleasant smells are perceived as much more intense or unpleasant, or phantosmia, where phantom whiffs of unpleasant odors, like cigarette smoke or burnt wood, are randomly perceived. In the gustative department is dysgeusia (disruption of taste) or ageusia (loss of taste). Additionally seen are changes in chemesthesis, which is different from taste in that it’s detecting chemical irritants in foods like hot chili and mint.

SMELL THERAPY While various therapies exist to help those affected regain their sense of smell, the most common smell therapy is based on the research of Professor Thomas Hummel. Hummel conducted a twelve-week study in 2009 on people with anosmia to determine whether an intensive smelling regimen can have a positive effect on the condition. The subjects of the study — people who’d lost their sense of smell due to head injuries, severe upper respiratory infections, as well as other unaccountable reasons — were divided into two groups. The first group smelled four different essential oils (rose, eucalyptus, lemon and clove) each morning and evening, while the other group did not participate in this therapy. Through “smell tests” conducted at the onset and culmination of this study, it was determined that a large percentage of the group undergoing the smell training had an improved sense of smell. AbScent, a charity in the UK that helps people suffering from anosmia, was the first to sell specialized smell training kits, which include four amber jars, each one with a a fragrant disc saturated with one of the four fragrances: rose, eucalyptus, lemon and clove. If you can’t find the oils to make the specific kit below, keep in mind the advice of AbScent founder Chrissi Kelly, who says that any strong smell kits, like those including shoe polish, coffee or other spices, can be used for the same results. “You just need to get people to really focus and concentrate on what they’re smelling for it to work,” Kelly told Business Insider. Medisense, another company selling smell training kits, has three types of kits — one including the oils in Professor Hummel’s study; another one with mint, jasmin, thyme and mandarin; and a third comprising green tea, rosemary, bergamot and gardenia.
What You Need • Clove oil • Lemon oil • Rose oil • Eucalyptus oil
Instructions: • Smell each essential oil for fifteen seconds (and no longer) three times a day. • Continue the training for several months.

Peshy: When I heard about this method from a doctor (through a family member) who shared that it’s medically proven to stimulate the olfactory system, I was game! I purchased the four bottles of essential oils and smelled them three times a day for fifteen seconds each. For the first two days, I didn’t smell a thing, but dutifully stuck to the regimen. (I knew that the oils smelled pleasant, though, because my little ones all came flocking to partake in the smelling ceremony every time they saw me reaching for the bottles.) After two days, I realized my sense of smell was starting to kick in when I detected a faint smell of eucalyptus! As the strongest of the four oils, that’s what I smelled first. Over the days that followed, I began to gradually regain my sense of smell, one smell at a time. I continued the regimen for two weeks straight. Baruch Hashem, by now my sense of taste is fully back and my smell is 90% back. The most vexing smell disturbance is that freshly laundered clothes do not smell as good as they used to.
Journey to Smelling Rifki: I used to have a very astute sense of smell; I’d pass by the closed garbage can and immediately know which flavor yogurt my children had dropped in there. The smells were so powerful to me that I’d seal banana peels in a bag before placing them in the can, and I’d take out the garbage several times a day. My home was always cleaned and deodorized to perfection. It’s been almost ten months now where I can’t smell a thing! I always feel uneasy that my house doesn’t smell fresh enough, and I don’t even know when I need to change my baby, which is very frustrating. (There’s one thing I smelled throughout, though, and that’s garlic.) Not being able to smell affects me in many ways, but what I miss most is the smell of fresh laundry and the scent of my kids’ shampooed hair after their baths. After hearing about Fraidy’s experience with the essential oils, I decided to give it a try. It seemed simple enough. I called the health food store and on Thursday night, I received four bubble-wrapped bottles delivered right to my door. They were out of rose oil, so they sent lavender oil instead. Day 1:
As I head downstairs, I am aware of a slight whiff of the cholent I put up last night. Hurray! I began to do some hishtadlus, and already something is awakening in my olfactory system. Once I’m downstairs, I unwrap the four bottles. I start with the clove oil, inhaling deeply for fifteen seconds. Some kind of strong scent registers, but it smells nothing like clove. I then smell the eucalyptus, also perceiving some-

thing herbal that opens my airways, but it’s not the real scent. The same thing happens when I smell the lemon and lavender oils. My brain picks up on something, but none of them smell like I remember them to smell. It’s Erev Shabbos, and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to do this aromatherapy on Shabbos, so I perform the smelling ritual four times over the course of Erev Shabbos (I’ve always been an overachiever) and then put away the bottles for over Shabbos. We ask Rabbi Yechezkel Elias whether this smell therapy is allowed on Shabbos. He responds that the answer largely hinges on whether this is viewed specifically as an act of healing, similar to taking medicine, or if it’s akin to any benign act of enjoying a fragrance. He researches the matter, and it seems the essential oils are of definite medicinal connotation yet of debatable medicinal value, leaving a bit of a question as to their halachic classification. Additionally, aromas are something everyone can appreciate, and not necessarily for therapeutic reasons, yet most people don’t go around smelling random scents... It appears this issue seems to lack a clear parallel among the poskim. (As Rabbi Elias mentions, COVID-19 has brought us a whole slew of heretofore untouched halachic questions, from porch-to-porch minyanim to eating maror when one has no sense of taste, to many more previously unheard-of situations.) Rabbi Elias maintains that the therapy would be permissible on Shabbos — though specifically when using pleasant aromas that most people would appreciate. As well, he limits this allowance to smelling the oils absorbed into “paper discs,” as opposed to in the original marked bottle. Nonetheless, in light of the novelty of the question, he advises each person to consult with their rav. Day 2:
I head out to an aufruf on Shabbos morning, and when I get home I detect a smell in my house. The smell
178 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
isn’t very pleasant — it’s weird — but it makes me happy to know that my sense of smell is reawakening. As soon as Shabbos is over and I’ve said Baruch Hamavdil, I head over to the essential oils and smell them. When my husband makes Havdalah, I actually smell the besamim for the first time since I’d had the coronavirus! Reciting a bracha on besamim when one can’t smell is not so simple, and we asked Rabbi Yechezkel Elias to explain the halachic ramifications: One who completely lacks the ability to smell may not make a bracha on any fragrance. As such, when reciting Havdalah, one should say the initial portion as well as the bracha of Hagefen on the wine, omit the bracha on besamim, and proceed to the bracha on the fire as well as the remainder of Havdalah. Even if one is reciting Havdalah for others, as well, he is not permitted to make the bracha on their behalf. In such a situation, after reciting the bracha of Hagefen, he should pause and allow the others to make their own bracha on the besamim. Alternatively, one of the participants who has the ability to smell can make this bracha on behalf of all those participating. After they smell the fragrance, the one reciting Havdalah can then continue with the remainder. If a person lacking the ability to smell did erroneously make the bracha of besamim, it is a bracha l’vatalah, an invalid bracha that carries no credence. Furthermore, having spoken words that have no value, he has created a hefsek, a break between the earlier and later portions of Havdalah. Being that the brachos of Havdalah must necessarily be recited as one composite unit, such a hefsek will in turn render the earlier bracha of Hagefen invalid as well. In such a scenario, one must go back and repeat the Hagefen bracha, allow for others to make a bracha on the besamim, and then continue with the bracha of Me’orei Ha’eish and the remainder of Havdalah. (There is one exception whereby one
who cannot smell would nonetheless be allowed to make the bracha for others, that being when one is doing so for children to educate them in how to properly make this bracha. However, this is limited to children who are unable to correctly verbalize the bracha themselves. Furthermore, as this bracha is for instructional purposes only, it does not carry the weight of a full-fledged bracha and will not be sufficient for any older children or adults who are present. As well, lacking the status of a full-fledged bracha, it should not be recited during Havdalah, only after the conclusion.) Rabbi Elias also pointed out that if one is unsure whether or not they can smell, they can take a small “test sniff” (without making a bracha) to determine their ability. If they can, in fact, smell, they would then be allowed to make the bracha and smell the besamim during Havdalah. Day 3:
I continue smelling the oils every so often. I prepare some noodle soup, and what do you think? I actually can smell it somewhat! It used to be so overpowering in the past, but for months now even noodle soup had smelled like nothing. Encouraged, I try to smell a bottle of perfume, but I don’t smell anything. Day 4 :
As I use Goof Off to get some stubborn stain off, I find that I can actually smell it! I become hopeful that I will finally enjoy the heady scents of cleaning detergents, shampoos and laundry detergents. I smell a bottle of Tresemme shampoo, and then Pantene, and then baby shampoo, but I still smell nothing. I move on to a bottle of Tide, I sniff, but no, I can’t smell these yet. I continue my smell therapy, perhaps doing it more often
than I should, but I want to do something to regain more of this wonderful sense I’ve been missing. Day 5:
I smell the oils, and though the scent is faint, I realize they are starting to smell a bit more like their true scent. I get a eucalyptus dot on my nose in my enthusiasm to smell it well enough, and a faint eucalyptus smell follows me around all day, reminding me that my sense of smell is reawakening. My coffee — it smells and tastes a bit off, like it has all along. And as I’m going about my business at home, the aroma of the chicken baking in the oven travels to my nose, to my brain, and it smells so good! However, the cauliflower, which I always found to have a distinctly strong smell that I really disliked, does not register at all in my brain. My kids are complaining about the smell, but all I smell is the baked chicken. Day 6:
My sense of smell is definitely improving bit by bit, though I still have a long way to go. I’ve regained many smells, but I still can’t smell shampoos or detergents. I plan to stick to the regimen. For the first time I peruse the bottles, and I see that Eucalyptus boosts focus, Lavender induces calm, and the Lemon boasts “joyful.” Ah, so those were the stirrings of positivity I’ve been feeling over the past few days! I’d like to think that these oils are making me not only a better smeller, but enhancing my overall mood as well. Most of all, I’ve gained the gift of hope. I was starting to get discouraged and worry that my anosmia will be permanent, and now that I see that my brain is relearning to smell, I hope to be able to make use of this wonderful gift in its full form very soon.

USING COFFEE FOR BESAMIM As each Shabbos wanes and we prepare to go forth to the new week, we bid Shabbos farewell by dwelling on the great divide between Shabbos and the weekdays, as well as the divide between all things holy and the mundane, with the recital of Havdalah. Though not of particular conceptual relevance to Havdalah, we are instructed to incorporate as well the partaking of a pleasant fragrance, along with the recital of the requisite bracha, that of Borei Minei Besamim. Why is this so? We are taught that with the dawning of Shabbos, every Yid is imbued with a supplementary measure of spirituality, an “extra dose of neshamah.” As Shabbos departs, though, so does the neshamah yeseirah. How do we deal with this loss? The Torah alludes1 repeatedly to a direct connection between the neshamah and a person’s nasal passageway, as well as one’s sense of smell — which is a topic deserving attention in its own right. Of relevance to this discussion is that we are taught that by virtue of enjoying a pleasant smell, we can bring a measure of solace to our neshamah on this loss. While we are instructed to partake of a pleasant smell, we are given wide latitude in choosing which fragrance to use to satisfy this requirement. Broadly, any natural fruit,
186 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
plant, vegetable or herb that emits a strong, pleasant aroma may be used.2 As for synthetically created aromas, it is highly questionable if they warrant a bracha,3 and as such, should not be used for besamim. Which brings us to the question: Can one simply pick up a jar of coffee and make a bracha on its aroma? Not so simple. The Mishnah Berurah clearly rules4 that one may make a bracha on the fragrance of coffee. He does, however, add the important caveat that the coffee must be hot. Though the reasoning is not elaborated upon, it seems the Mishnah Berurah, as well as the sources he cites, maintained that the coffee bean alone is not sufficiently fragrant to warrant a bracha. Only through heat will aromas of sufficient strength be released. It is not clear if the heat the Mishnah Berurah refers to is the heat present when roasting the beans, or when adding hot water to create a cup of coffee. Regardless, it seems the ruling would apply equally in both cases. At this point, it would seem one could generally go ahead and make a cup of coffee and recite a bracha over the aromas (preferably prior to the addition of milk5). However, while this generality would hold true in the days of the Mishnah Berurah and previous eras, in today’s ever-advancing world of coffee production, things are a bit more complicated. To simplify matters, it is necessary to provide a bit of background on the parameters of Birchas Harei’ach. Though there are many methods of creating most wonderful smells, not all forms are equal, and many are considered insignificant in halacha, whereby no bracha may be recited. The key here is a concept called “rei’ach sheyesh bo ikar,” loosely translated as an aroma emanating from a clear and tangible source. An aroma lacking this criterion may smell quite pungent — but lacking source, it would be deemed insignificant.
SOME EXAMPLES: REI’ACH SHEYESH BO IKAR (BRACHA REQUIRED) —
For example, cloves, cinnamon sticks, hadassim (when sufficiently fresh and fragrant), spices, and so on. In these instances, the source of the aroma is readily apparent. This category includes oils and perfumes, where the smell was created by natural (not synthetic) means and the spices, herbs and so on are still present in the mixture. REI’ACH SHE’EIN BO IKAR (NO BRACHA) — For example, aromas absorbed
into clothing. Although one working in a spice factory might have quite a distinctive scent absorbed into his clothing, simply smelling his clothing would not warrant a bracha, as there is no direct connection to the source of the aroma. An additional scenario in this category would be that of smelling
a completely empty spice container. The container may well be suffused with the distinctive scent of the original contents. Nonetheless, as the scent in the container is at present not connected to the spices, it is an odor alone, a rei’ach she’ein bo ikar, and no bracha may be recited.6 REI’ACH SHEHAYAH BO IKAR — This category refers
to an aromatic mixture that did in fact contain the requisite “ikar” at one point, but where the source substance was later strained out or otherwise removed from the mixture. An example would be a perfume or fragrance that was created with various spices that were later filtered out, leaving the aromatic liquid alone. This category falls between the two aforementioned categories and is subject to debate, creating a safek brachos conundrum. (This is a situation where one might be obligated to recite the bracha, yet may not do so out of fear that if in fact no bracha was warranted, the bracha recited would be in vain, a transgression in its own right.) The Shulchan Aruch states7 that as such it would be appropriate to avoid smelling such substances. The Mishnah Berurah, however, rules8 in line with many Acharonim that one who does not wish to be stringent in this regard is certainly allowed to partake of these fragrances l’chatchilah and to recite a bracha.
SO HOW DOES THIS ALL PERTAIN TO COFFEE? “TURKISH” COFFEE — This style and similar variants
refer to a powder of ground beans mixed with hot water. The ground beans are not soluble, leaving a thick, murky mixture near the bottom of the cup and much perceptible sediment throughout. Here, the source of the aroma, the ground beans, is readily apparent, and this would certainly qualify for a bracha, included in the first category above. It is this form of coffee that was prevalent in the times of the Mishnah Berurah. BREWED COFFEE — Be
it coffee brewed in a traditional coffee maker, a French press coffee maker, podstyle Keurig, Nespresso, or
188 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
other similar product, most brewed coffee today involves pouring hot water over beans and then having the mixture filtered, leaving particle-free coffee. Although the beans were present in the mixture, once they are removed, the status of the coffee shifts to shehaya bo ikar, the third category. One can certainly make a bracha on smelling this form of coffee, although it would not be as ideal as using something within the first category. COLD BREW — As with standard brewed coffee,
cold-brew coffee is created using water and coffee beans. However, the process of creating the coffee, as is evident in the name, involves no heat whatsoever. In this case, the simple technique is merely to place the beans into a pitcher of cold water and leave this refrigerated for anywhere between 18 and 20 hours. The coffee flavor is extracted by marination, kavush. As stated previously, the Mishnah Berurah rules that only the aroma of coffee created via heat has sufficient strength to warrant a bracha. Hence, no bracha may be recited, and this may not be used for besamim. INSTANT COFFEE — A standard container of instant
coffee contains no beans or bean particles whatsoever. The process of producing instant coffee runs basically as follows: Hot water is mixed with beans to create coffee quite similar to every cup of brewed coffee. The difference, of course, is that this is done on a scale several thousand times the size of the coffee one brews at home. As with brewed coffee, the beans are removed from the mixture, leaving only an enormous volume of brewed coffee. This liquid is subsequently “dried out” into little granules by removing the water content from the coffee. This is generally done by either spray drying or freeze drying the mixture. The remaining particles are not beans at all – they are simply what remains after you dehydrate a cup of coffee. At this point, there would be room to debate the status of aromas emanating from these particles. Is this a case of a smell lacking a tangible source, or could this be equated to this very same coffee prior to dehydration where, as stated above, it would fall into the third category of rei’ach shehayah bo ikar? In truth, however, this question remains aca-

demic and not of practical relevance. In actuality, the instant granules offer not much fragrance at all. That delicious aroma wafting up when you peel off the covering of a new container? That’s the fragrance of a spray that is sprayed onto the particles to boost their appeal, not the smell of the coffee particles themselves. In fairness to the coffee companies, this spray is generally not some random synthetic concoction, but rather is taken from the evaporated liquids created during the spray-drying process, allowing the companies to argue they are doing nothing more than “spraying the coffee with the coffee itself.” Regardless, as far as halacha is concerned, the infusion of these fumes into coffee particles carries no more significance than the absorption of spice fragrances into a worker’s clothing. This is a clear case of ein bo ikar, where there is no tangible connection to the source of the aroma, and no bracha may be recited. STARBUCKS VIA, NESCAFE GOLD, AND INSTANT WITH MICROGROUND — Of late, the
constant evolution of coffee production has resulted in a number of new innovations, including many designed to improve the flavor of instant coffee. The specific intent, in this regard, is an attempt to bring the flavor as close as possible to that of a freshly brewed coffee while maintaining the practicality of instant coffee. To this end, a number of companies — including Starbucks, Nescafe and others — have introduced high-end lines of instant coffee created by a mixture of both traditional instant coffee as well as microground beans. Essentially, these companies have created a process of grinding roasted beans to an extremely fine degree, thus making them soluble. The result is a cup of coffee containing the actual bean, yet where all particles dissolve, leaving little or no sediment. As this coffee contains the actual beans, it would qualify as rei’ach sheyesh bo ikar, and thus perfectly ideal for our purposes. AN IMPORTANT NOTE: The flip side of having real beans present is the creation of a serious concern about the permissibility of using these coffees on Shabbos. A rav should be consulted before Shabbos use.9

THE FIVE BRACHOS ON FRAGRANCES BY: RABBI BENZION KARMEL 1. Borei Atzei Besamim (or, more correctly, vesamim) is made on any nice-smelling inedible substance that grows on trees. 2. Borei Isbei Besamim (or vesamim) is made on any nice-smelling inedible substance that grows on the ground. 3. Borei Minei Besamim (or vesamim) is intended for nice-smelling substances that don’t grow on trees or the ground. It also serves as a “catch-all” bracha for all mixtures, sefeikos (hence the minhag Ashkenaz to always use this bracha for Havdalah) and covers all mistakes. 4. Borei Shemen Areiv is a special bracha for balsam and balsam oil. As it grows abundantly in Eretz Yisroel, it has a chashivus (preference) over all other smells, giving it its own bracha. 5. Hanosein Rei’ach Tov Bapeiros is a special bracha for foods that grow on trees or the ground, smell nice, and are taken with intent to smell. These brachos are only said when an action is done to access the smell, and so one would have to enter the florist or coffee shops to make a bracha.

Note: While these guidelines are in effect during the majority of the week, at the recital of Havdalah on Motzei Shabbos, the prevailing halacha for Ashkenazim, as per the ruling of the Mishnah Berurah, is to recite Borei Minei Besamim regardless of which species is used. Many Sefardic communities, however, will use these guidelines even at Havdalah.

SARA SCHENIRER HOSTING A UNIQUE VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE FOR PARENTS Shira Perlstein With thousands of seminary students in Israel under lockdown, educating them on their future degree options is more difficult than ever. “Students need this information, and they need it now,” explains Mrs. Batsheva Shonek, director of Sara Schenirer. “Many of them will be looking for jobs for next year when they return home for Pesach, and a lot depends on which degree program they will join. Under normal circumstances, we would travel to Israel to host open houses and visit seminaries, but this year, that has proven impossible.” Students. however, are not the only ones reaching out for help. Parents are also making phone calls, sending emails, and chatting with advisors, seeking to understand their daughters’ options. “With so many undergraduate options such as psychology, business,
196 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
accounting, and social work, parents and seminary students need personal guidance, and we’re committed to providing it,” shares Mrs. Shonek. To help parents understand their options and prepare their daughters for the coming year, Sara Schenirer will be hosting a unique Virtual Open House for parents only on Monday, February 15 th at 8:00 PM. The one-hour program will cover topics such as financial aid, credit transfers, student support, academic integrity, and a review of available degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The program is free and will be online via Zoom Webinar, but preregistration is mandatory. To register, please visit sarasch.com or email openhouse@sarasch. com.
Some nightmares do happen. I never feared getting sprayed by a skunk, sort of the same way I wasn’t concerned about having my bike stolen or getting stuck on a roller coaster — you know, the stuff that happens to “other kids.” But one black-andwhite creature had different plans for me, and on that fateful night, there he was, waiting silently for his unassuming victim: me. It was a muggy night in the summer of 2006 when I came home from yeshivah to an empty house. The rest of the family was away at a simcha, and after grabbing something to eat, I figured I’d be a good boy and take out the garbage. That turned out to be a big mistake. I went out, opened the lid to the large garbage bin and mindlessly dropped in two bags — and was immediately overcome by a powerful, pungent chemical substance that left me choking and gasping for air. I let out the loudest shriek I could and instinctively started running away, toward the street. As I realized that I had just been the victim of a surprise skunk attack, and that all of myself, in addition to my clothing, was probably toxic enough to be in violation of a half-dozen Geneva Convention rules, my predicament slowly began to dawn on me. I had to get out of these clothes and wash down — but how could I get back into the house when my new mortal enemy was still lurking in supposed friendly territory? The only safe way back was by crawling up the side of our front porch and hopping over the gate — no simple feat, even when you haven’t just gotten maced and are not utterly disgusted by your own existence.
hindsight, I think I just wanted to get even with him (or her, I guess). Then I thought the better of it and stayed inside. As I stood there weighing my options, a burst of wisdom washed over me, and I figured it out: Let me call Chaverim! Whether I needed to be hosed down at a fire hydrant or soak in tomatoes for days, I figured they could probably make it happen for me. The helpful operator seemed to be fighting back a chuckle (or maybe when you’re covered in skunk spray, you just think everyone is laughing at you) and said he would get back to me. A short while later Chaverim returned my call and told me to take a sponge bath with, if I recall correctly, lemon juice, peroxide, baking soda and dishwashing soap. It worked! At least I think I did. But for a young chassidish bachur, their other bit of advice was tougher to swallow: “Take all the clothes you were wearing and get rid of them.” There went my nice G&G suit, belt, shirt and other garments. When they were wrapped tightly in a garbage bag, we parted ways, forever. The next day at yeshivah, everyone gathered to hear my story. One tough kid called me “smelly,” but all I smelled was his obvious jealousy that I was the center of attention. My maggid shiur soon found a way to try and take a valuable lesson out of what happened, but the positive effects were gone quicker than I got rid of that awful smell. To this day, whenever I tell my friends this story, they say, “Yeah, we still smell it.” I think this probably says more about my choice in friends than it does about my hygiene, but I do think some scars remain forever. I’ve read that some people actually have skunks as pets, with their scent-emitting glands removed. Personally, I would quicker adopt a hippopotamus or that old homeless guy who never stops talking, but I guess only tomato juice can ever fully wash off this trauma. It’s been about 15 years since that dark night, and somehow, these kind of weird stories keep happening to me (I’ll leave the others for another time). But it is ironic that my most colorful story comes from a little black-and-white animal who continues to haunt my dreams. I sometimes wonder what happened to the skunk and if he knows that he played such a large role in someone’s life. Would it mean a lot to him if he knew? Also, are there others who’ve also felt his wrath, and do I need to invite him to my simchos? I don’t know the answers to these questions but I gotta go — I have a pot of tomato soup cooking. Hey, that reminds me of the time I… Oh, there it is again!
Whether I needed to be hosed down at a fire hydrant or soak in tomatoes for days, I figured they could probably make it happen for me. If that wasn’t enough, teenage me was still under the misguided belief that a tomato-juice bath was my only hope (spoiler alert: it’s a myth), and I was trying to figure out how to get to a grocery store, buy three cases of tomato juice and crawl back up into the house with the heavy cartons. I could not continue to just stand there, so I mustered up the energy to get to the front door. Once inside the house, I tried calling my parents but couldn’t get through. I didn’t know what to do, and with my adversary having already exhausted his last line of defense (what’s he going to do? Spray me again?), I contemplated going back out and fighting him off. I told myself that I was going out to make sure he doesn’t attack my unsuspecting family on their return home, but in

Part Five
Last week I promised to tell you about life after gluten. And yes, there is life after gluten. For real. I can practically feel the skepticism some of you are exhibiting right now, but bear with me. At first, going gluten-free was a huge adjustment. For one thing, at that stage in my life, my cooking was completely traditional (read: Hungarian). Chicken cutlets got breaded; vegetables could be served only if they were modestly wrapped in some sort of dough, at least most of the time; and bread was a staple at meals. Shabbos wasn’t complete without homemade challah; gefilte fish; chicken soup loaded with lokshen, croutons and kneidlach; farfel; cholent with barley and kishke; onion and lokshen kugels; and of course, cake for dessert and Shabbos afternoon snacking. Obviously, there was also the requisite weekly Shabbos treats, often consisting of goodies like baked goods, wheat snacks and licorice… Are you starting to sense a pattern here? Yup, you got it! Gluten wasn’t just present in my home; it ruled! At first, I kept my mindset about what food was supposed to look like and attempted to replace all gluten options with similar gluten-free equivalents. For those

of you interested in psychology, this was something akin to Piaget’s concept of assimilation, where new information is made to fit preexisting ideas, rather than accommodation, where new information leads to the growth of a new, enhanced understanding. This is a bit embarrassing to confess, but these attempts were met with varying degrees of success, most of them admittedly falling on the abysmal end of the scale. I am a fantastic cook and pride myself on preparing foods that look and taste perfect, but I’m not a magician. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make gluten-free challah taste like the mouthwatering loaves I used to produce. This led to the next stage in my life, where I began moving toward accommodation. I became adept at the replacements that worked, like potato or tapioca starch in place of flour to thicken sauces and soups, and at cooking rice pastas perfectly. I stopped trying to replace everything with a gluten-free alternative; instead, I started becoming more creative and diverse in my food preparations. I’m basically a nonconformist and hate following recipes unless I absolutely must, so I began experimenting with my own glutenfree recipes. Soon I discovered that food has so much more potential than I had previously known. Hashem, in His Infinite kindness, created a world filled with foods of every color, shape, texture and flavor. It’s like an artist’s palette of untouched paints and other mediums, just waiting to be transformed into masterpieces of lasting beauty. I must tell you, my fingers practically itched to play with it all, to make magnificent offerings out of so many choices of raw material, and that desire to create new delicacies in my kitchen has never faded. To this day, or at least up until the pandemic began, I regularly cooked gourmet meals for my family, extended family, friends, and our frequent Shabbos and yom tov guests. The food was, and still is, all gluten-free and absolutely delicious, if I may say so myself. Those of you who have been the lucky beneficiaries of my largesse are nodding as you read this, and quite possibly salivating. No false humility here, I am that good of a cook. Lest you think going gluten-free has been an easy stroll through the park on a path scattered with rose petals, let me be the first to assure you that this wasn’t the case at all. Not even a little bit. There were many inevitable pitfalls. To all the pessimists and realists reading this, you can now breathe easier. What follows here will definitely be more your style.
For starters, forget about buying takeout. Ever. Okay, there are some notable exceptions, but I’m talking as a rule here. Most people who work the takeout counters don’t really know what gluten is, and which foods contain it. True story: I ask the guy behind the counter if their gefilte fish has flour and explain that I’m allergic to gluten. He assures me that it doesn’t. When I ask him what they use as a starch, to hold it together, he explains that they use matzah meal. So no flour. Right. Here’s another true story. I’ve learned that most upscale restaurants are very accommodating when I make specific requests. Not that I can afford them that often, but it’s still good to know, right? Now, you may not know this, but soy sauce, as a general rule, contains wheat. So there I was, in a new restaurant I hadn’t tried before, ordering a Chinese stir-fry. I made sure to specify that they needed to use clean pans and utensils and that the food couldn’t contain flour or soy sauce. They eagerly reassured me that it was no problem, and I ordered the food to go. My children enjoyed their dinner immensely, but I had only eaten a few bites when I started feeling nausea and severe abdominal cramps. As soon as I was able to, I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the chef, and he assured me that he had only used a little bit of soy sauce. The manager apologized profusely and proceeded to send us another dinner, on the house, this one without soy sauce. But it was too late. I was no longer in any condition to eat anything, and in any case, wouldn’t have felt safe eating anything else from that restaurant. Silver lining? My kids enjoyed their second bonus dinner immensely! Then there was the time my father was in the hospital, and having little time to make Shabbos, I bought a container of clear chicken soup at a take-out. They assured me that they didn’t use any soup mixes or flavor enhancers. Yes, many of those contain gluten too. Again, I was doubled over with stomach pain. Further investigation revealed that they were catering a simcha that Friday night, and had cooked the lokshen for the soup in a mesh bag inserted into the chicken soup. Who woulda thunk?

DID YOU KNOW? While that loud honk may jerk you out of your sleep, a strong or even unpleasant smell will never wake you. That’s because in contrast to the other senses, the sense of smell goes to sleep when you do.
THE SEVEN SCENTS Just like there are five primary tastes, scientists have identified seven primary smells: Floral: soft and light (think rose and orange blossoms) Musky: heavy and sweet (think the smell of an old book) Pungent: strong and sharp (think a smell that makes your eyes tear) Camphoraceous: strong and medicinal (think eucalyptus and sage)
Not only does every person have a unique scent; the uniqueness carries over to our sense of smell as well! We each pick up certain notes in smells while missing others, which means the end olfactory experience may be individual to each person. It’s not only the landscaper and bike man that are busy in the summer; your olfactory sense, too, is on a roll when the moisture in the air during spring and summer helps it to identify many more scents and notes. Is that why fresh grass smells so lovely?
Women have a stronger sense of smell than men do. But seeing as it’s often the woman who is doing the cooking and laundering the clothes and noting when the trash belongs out the door, that’s a very good thing!
Ethereal: sweet and pungent (think cleaning solutions) Minty: cool and fresh (think any mint) Putrid: malodorous (think any unpleasant smell)
210 / THE MONSEY VIEW / February 10, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Interestingly, our sense of smell has a very long memory. We can remember scents way longer than we could sights, sounds, tastes and feelings.
While some may insist that “food makes the mood,” there is evidence to suggest that it’s a pleasant smell that leaves us feeling uplifted and happy. Bring on the scented candles!
By: Hadassah Steinman
POTPOURRI The word potpourri is a combination of the French words pot (which means pot) and pourri (which means rotten). Potpourri: the pot of rotten botanicals. Enticing, eh? Even as far back as the Middle Ages, little cloth bags filled with aromatic dried flowers and herbs were cleverly placed in homes to create a pleasant-smelling environment. Tucked between linens and in closets, it was an old-fashioned attempt at getting the house to smell nice and fresh. Herbs, especially, were hung in bunches around the house, both for their aromatic benefits and for their medicinal uses, and they were also strewn across the straw floor to freshen it up. Stepping on the tiny herb leaves would release their essential oils, which filled the house with their fragrance. In seventeenth century France, dried flowers and herbs were repeatedly layered with coarse salt throughout the spring and summer until the entire mixture was dried and preserved. In the fall, additional oils and florals were added to the somewhat unpleasant mixture, and this sweet-smelling potpourri would be placed in pretty pots or vases around the house.
CAN YOU PUT A PRICE ON YOUR NOSE? I know you appreciate your sense of smell, but there was a perfumer out there who valued his olfactory skills so much that he had the distinction of owning the most expensive nose in the world! Insured at $1 million, Jean Charles had one pricey face... Remarkably, even after he lost his sense of smell toward the end of his life, this master of perfumes still managed to produce some highly acclaimed scents.
THE WORLD’S NOSES LESS THAN 500 INDIVIDUALS WORLDWIDE ARE CHARGED WITH CREATING THE SCENTS OF THE WORLD. THESE PERFUMERS — OR NOSES, AS THEY’RE CALLED — CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPOUNDS AND IDENTIFY COMPLEX OLFACTORY COMBINATIONS USING ONLY THEIR NOSE. WITH BOTH A HIGH LEVEL OF SKILLS AND FOUNTS OF CREATIVITY, THESE PERFUMERS CAN CREATE THE SCENTS USED SIMPLY AS FINE FRAGRANCES, OR AS FUNCTIONAL FRAGRANCES IN SOAPS, CANDLES, DIFFUSERS, DETERGENTS AND SO ON.
As time went on, the dried florals, now in prettier hues and with more consistently pleasant scents, were available for purchase in shops all over. Combinations would soon fill vases, sachet and bowls, adding fragrance and decor to homes all over the world.

פרשת משפטים
Who are you?
I hope this innkeeper will be willing to host me. Here, in this village, I’ll be able to print my sefer.
I’d like to print my sefer of chiddushim here, at Yechiel HaLevi’s publishing house. I need a place to stay for three months.
Uhhhh…
Would you be so kind and host me for these months?
Oh, he wants to stay here for free. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be begging like that.
A guest.
Oh, a guest! A most esteemed guest! Come on in — we’ll get your room ready in no time.
Wait, wait... I have a question.
I’m sorry, but I am unable to host you. This inn is small, No way! and I won’t have room for other guests if you’re here for that long. Please look for some other place to stay.
What will I do? Will I not be able to print the sefer after all? No, Hashem will help me.
212 / THE MONSEY VIEW
I must invite him to my home. A talmid chacham should not have to go around looking for a place to stay!
Reb Yid!
Three months later: This sefer has been published in our village, at Yechiel HaLevi’s shop. Would you believe it?
The author is one of the great talmidei chachamim of our time. He stayed in our village for three whole months!
May you be blessed with all of the zechusim of the Yidden who will learn my sefer! Thank you, thank you!
You’re invited to stay at my home. You can stay at my house as long as you need!
Really? Who is it?
In another short while you’ll know! He’ll soon be back to print a second edition!
Wow…
He’ll be my guest!
Shalom aleichem, kavod harav! The Rav is invited to stay at my home!
But if so, why didn’t you host me the first time I came?
Here! Here’s the Rav’s carriage! He’s coming!
Why did you turn me away then?
Oh, such generous townspeople!
At mine!
At mine!
At mine!
WHAT DOES THIS TELL US? “And they said, all that Hashem said, we will do and we will listen” (24:7). At the end of days, when everyone will see the great reward that Torah-observant Yidden will observe, the goyim will all come and say that they want to accept the Torah too. Hashem will answer them: If you so much want the Torah, why didn’t you “host” me when I came the first time around and asked if you wanted my Torah? Why did you turn Me down then? Only the Yidden “hosted” my Torah. Only one nation answered, “Naaseh v’nishma.” Only the nation that invited me without knowing the tremendous reward in store for those who keep the Torah, without knowing what the future held — only they are My nation, and My Torah is theirs! (The Dubno Maggid)
