A CHESED A DAY

(Re: All Roads Lead to Chesed, Issue 405)

After reading last week’s issue on chesed, all I can say is, Mi k’amcha Yisroel! Where else would you find a nation so intent on making their brothers’ lives easier in every way, shape and form!

To me, what was especially heartwarming about this issue was the fact that I got to read both about the tzaddikim disguised as regular people who literally go out of their way to transport their brethren — and then about the experiences of a woman on the receiving end.

With the abundance of gemachim and organizations out there to provide help of every kind, it’s sometimes easy to forget about the individuals who make all this happen, and the individuals whose burdens get so significantly eased because of the kindness of their brothers. This issue brought it all into focus again.

Last week, someone wrote that they were at a national chain department store, and at checkout were asked to donate to a charity. They did, and the cashier commented that she was the first religious Jew ever to do so.

I just want to point out that, baruch Hashem, as individuals and as a community, we give tremendous amounts of tzedakah. If you would like to support a non-Jewish charity as well, be careful about whom you choose to donate to. Some “charities” are actually funding non-

BAD TIMING

(Re: A Wake-Up Call, Issue 402)

I’m one of your many fans who anticipate Wednesdays, eager for the new edition of The Monsey View. I was excited to see your contest on Birchas Hashachar since I personally wanted to work on that for a while. I even bought a Birchas Hashachar card to hang on my fridge. But… wrong timing. With the kids home between school and day camp, I missed it too often.

Next time a contest is launched for busy mothers, please take into account our calendars and schedules! I would have loved to participate had the timing worked out better.

NOW OR NEVER

(Re: A Wake-Up Call, Issue 402)

M.L.

I’m a little embarrassed to publicly admit that it took a magazine contest to get me serious about saying Birchas Hashachar in the morning. But as a mother of a few small children (and a few big ones), baruch Hashem, I haven’t been as consistent about it as I would have liked. Since this contest launched, however, I’ve been trying to be more consistent about it.

This is what I found: I have to daven before my kids get up. Once they get up, there isn’t a minute to breathe. I’ve started waking up at six so I can just about get dressed, have a quick coffee, and say brachos. Usually it works; sometimes it doesn’t — but if I don’t manage to daven before they get up, I very rarely find the time at all.

Thanks for the inspiration!

PARSHAS MATOS-MASEI

No Questions Asked

THE MESIRUS NEFESH of the Klausenberger Rebbe, zt”l, during the Holocaust period is indescribable. He was careful to perform mitzvos to the best of his ability even under impossible circumstances. He lost his wife and eleven children, yet remained rock solid in his emunah and bitachon in Hakadosh Baruch Hu. He never questioned, never faltered.

The Rebbe not only strengthened himself; he was mechazek countless other Yidden. In the camps, Gehinnom on this world, the Rebbe infused emunah into the hearts of those around him. Many later testified that had they not been near the Rebbe during those challenging times, they would not have been able to remain faithful to Hashem.

Many years after the war, after establishing Kiryas Sanz in Netanya, the Rebbe addressed his talmidim and chassidim. He said that in all of his years in the camps, he never cried.

“Why should I cry?” the Rebbe asked in rhetorical wonder. “If this is what Hakadosh Boruch Hu wants for me, it is good, and there is no reason for me to cry.

“But once, I did cry,” the Rebbe disclosed.

It happened one Friday night, when the time came for the Shabbos seudah. There was no bread for Hamotzi, and the Rebbe was beside himself. All he wanted was a small piece of Hamotzi to wash on.

“That’s when I burst into tears. I was distraught that Hakadosh Boruch Hu did not give me the ability to perform His will.”

The Rebbe continued to describe the great miracle that happened. “Just then, a person came by and gave me some bread and jam. And that’s how I was able to be mekayem the mitzvah of seudas Shabbos.”

This seemingly minor incident is beyond human compre-

Did You Know?

hension. The only time the Rebbe cried during that dark and frightening period was when he felt he was being prevented from completing a mitzvah for Hashem! He completely submitted his will to the will of Hakadosh Boruch Hu. It was clear that his only desire was what Hashem desired.

We can learn this lesson from the Yidden in the Midbar.

The Ramban explains:

At times, the Ananei Hakavod would linger above the Mishkan for many days. Even if the encampment in this place was not very comfortable, and Bnei Yisroel would prefer to travel further to find an oasis or better place, they would remain put. They followed ratzon Hashem

Other times, Bnei Yisroel would still be exhausted from traveling, having just about settled in a new place, when the Cloud would move on, and they would get up to follow it. Again, they deferred to ratzon Hashem.

As the pasuk says, “Al pi Hashem yachanu, v’al pi Hashem yisa’u — At Hashem’s bidding they would camp, and at Hashem’s bidding they would travel” (Bamidbar 9:23).

Bnei Yisroel asked no questions. They followed Hakadosh Baruch Hu, making His will their own.

This unconditional subservience earned us Hashem’s praise, as we see with the famous words in the Navi: “Koh amar Hashem, zacharti lach chesed ne’urayich… lechtech acharai bamidbar b’eretz lo zeruah — So said Hashem, I remember the loving kindness of your youth… your following Me in the Midbar, in a land not sown” (Yirmiyahu 2:2).

Hashem promises to remember forever how Bnei Yisroel followed His ratzon without any calculations or questions.

The 42 sojourns in the Midbar hint at the challenges of our long journey in Galus. In fact, the first words of the parsha, “ V’eileh masei Bnei Yisroel,” contain an acronym to the four galuyos — Edom, Madai, Bavel and Yavan.

The Shelah Hakadosh writes that just like the generation of the Midbar, every Yid experiences his own travails, his personal 42 journeys in life. Our tafkid is to go through the process with the clear recognition that everything comes from Hashem, and to follow His will throughout. No questions asked.

We see that the Torah ascribes much chashivus to Bnei Yisroel’s travels in the Midbar, describing each of the 42 journeys at length. Year after year, we read through the pesukim . What message do we learn from these details?

PRINTING WITH PRINTIT

A PRINTING EXPERIENCE THAT’S MORE THAN JUST PRINTS

IT STARTED

in a small office in Monsey, on 6 Melnick Drive. Shloimy Zeide was a graphic designer who offered his clients standard graphic design services. As his customer base grew, he began to receive requests to handle not only the design, but also the printing, and he agreed. Why not, after all? It wasn’t a big deal to shoot an email to the printer. Except that it was.

Instead of tapping away at his computer, choosing fonts and colors, Shloimy found himself running around to various printers, pleading with them to please, please have his order ready on time. Busy with the design end of his business, he often had to find others to pick up the ready orders from the print shops. But it wasn’t just that.

Shloimy is blessed with an overload of creativity, a valuable skill for a graphic designer. Yet he needed a printer who understood the underlying concepts of graphic design so his original ideas could be properly implemented.

It occurred to him that he could open his own print shop to fill this need. But he needed someone to help him run the business.

READY, SET, PRINT

Motty Fruchter, a good friend of Shloimy’s, worked in a dry goods store across the street from Shloimy’s office. Every day, the two friends would eat lunch together. Shloimy realized that Motty was a people person, making his customers feel welcome and cared for. And then one day, he had an aha moment: he realized that Motty would be the perfect business partner for this new endeavor.

He broached the idea to Motty. As the two friends talked shop, another cog was in motion, enabling their plans to come to life. The new Town Square mall was curating clients for available space. Shloimy and Motty figured that a printing shop would be a welcome asset.

The friends were right — the mall’s directors were thrilled to open a print shop on its premises.

And so the fledgling store, called Printit, was born.

Printit began with just a few printing machines, and met instant success. Shloimy and Motty’s goal was to satisfy every customer. The focus was not just on prints, but the overall printing experience. They offered their customers speed and efficiency, and a pleasant, positive experience. Customers love Motty’s client-centric focus and his absolute commitment to satisfying their vision. Problems are no problem with his willingness to troubleshoot and think creatively until the customer is satisfied. The client return and referral rate is proof of his success.

Printit also invested in a strong client commu-

nication system. An email is automatically sent to the customer with an order number when an order is placed, and a follow-up email is sent when the job is ready for pickup, eliminating the guessing and waiting that’s so frustrating for clients.

As Printit grew, Shloimy and Motty did everything and anything to get every job done on time. They worked all day and late into the night. There were times when they worked from Thursday morning until right before the zman on Friday, without going home or taking a break, so they could meet deadlines and fulfill client expectations. Eventually, they hired employees and bought more machinery. And the machines kept spitting out more and more prints.

GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND

Today, Printit offers full customer service, a sales team, and a full production team to make sure every customer walks away with the best possible printing experience. In addition to the original Monsey store, a separate location in Suffern, New York boasts a huge production facility with top-of-the-line printers that can print a few thousand pages per hour. Its perfect binder can bind 800 books per hour. When it comes to large-format equipment, Printit offers the largest dimensions available. Banners, for example, are a seamless 16 feet wide by 300 feet long. Printit also has the capacity to print directly on all rigid materials, such as coroplast, foamcore, acrylic, and metal. A specialized CNC cutter produces a precise contour cut for vivid custom shapes. When Printit saw that their clients wanted to print envelopes so they could mail out invitations for simchos and events, they didn’t hesitate to procure the highestquality envelope printer. If it made their clients happy and more relaxed, it was a worthwhile investment.

This is Printit’s modus operandi: they spend literally thousands of hours troubleshooting and figuring out which software will create the best possible experience for their customers. They are constantly updating and up-

grading their equipment, all for the client’s sake.

Printit’s happy customers are its greatest advertisement, as proven by the business’s rapid expansion, all driven by word of mouth. Printit has earned a reputation as a business that goes above and beyond to cater to the needs of the client in all circumstances. All clients need to do is let Printit’s staff know what they want, and Printit makes sure to have it ready in a timely fashion.

High-profile party production companies and event planners know they can send an email to Printit with their signage, brochures, booklets and whatever else they need — and it will all be delivered to the right location, right on time.

Printit works hand in hand with clients, bringing their vision to life. And they are continuing to gratify their clients, one job at a time.

THE LARGEST BANNER EVER PRINTED BY PRINTIT MEASURED 4,720 SQUARE FEET.

THE MOST SPIRALBOUND BOOKS PRINTED BY PRINTIT WAS THE EVERGREEN YOM TOV PLANNER.

THE GREATEST NUMBER OF EMAILS IN A SINGLE DAY CAME IN THREE DAYS BEFORE PURIM.

THE THICKEST BOOK EVER PRINTED HAD OVER 600 PAGES.

Torrential Rains Cause Catastrophic Closures, Snarling Traffic for Catskills Commuters

The usual weekend congestion facing drivers returning home from the Catskills became a nightmare this past Sunday, as torrential downpours closed roadways, washed out roads, submerged cars and left hikers and travelers fearing for their lives.

The heavy rains in the forecast had motorists expecting to have their wipers working overtime as they drove back from a weekend upstate or camp visiting day. Instead, they found themselves facing impassable roads and raging floodwaters, with the New York State Police reporting that they were assisting dozens of stranded motorists and dealing with cars that had been abandoned on the flooded roadways.

The Palisades Interstate Parkway was closed in both directions north of Exit 14 to the Long Mountain Traffic Circle because of heavy flooding, while chunks of Route 6 in the area were washed out by floodwaters. In Monsey, Wesley Chapel Road was closed between Spook Rock Road and Route 202, while Route 9W was closed in Stony Point from Tompkins Cove to Bear Mountain. Yeshiva World News reported that vehicles in West Post and Stony Point were completely submerged, with one state trooper forced to abandon his vehicle due to high waters, according to Hamodia.

Chaverim of Rockland was called in by Rockland EMS to rescue hikers who found themselves trapped on Bear Mountain. Volunteers headed to the scene split up after being contacted by five families who were trapped by floodwaters on Seven Lakes Drive, with additional units brought in to handle the many requests for assistance.

Although multiple agencies were called to the area, most were unable to provide assistance because of the depth of the flooding. Chaverim of Rockland utilized a new, specialized high-water rescue vehicle to bring those stranded to safety.

Hundreds of flights in and out of the New York area were canceled because of the weather, and one woman was killed by floodwaters in Highland Falls, reported ABC News. As of Sunday night, several others were unaccounted for and feared dead.

“Downed wires, major flooding — it looks like the Colorado River running through here,” said Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus.

Meteorologist Craig Ceecee described the devastating weather as “a once-in-a-thousand-year rainfall event,” saying that up to eight inches of rain fell in six hours in the Lower Hudson Valley, with the worst downpours occurring from Peekskill to Woodbury.

Popular Candy Recalled After Choking Incident

A Lakewood boy is lucky to be alive after choking on a novelty item whose lickable rollerball releases a sour liquid candy.

Lakewood Alerts reported that the seven-year-old’s parents called Hatzolah when he accidentally swallowed the white plastic rollerball that was part of the candy’s plastic packaging. Attempts by paramedics to dislodge the rollerball were unsuccessful, leaving them with no choice but to push the ball further down the boy’s throat in order to clear his airway.

The boy, identified only as Dovid Aryeh ben Bracha, was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where a CAT scan showed the rollerball had made its way into his lungs. Doctors performed emergency surgery to remove the ball, leaving the seven year old in stable but critical condition and breathing with the help of a ventilator.

A massive campaign launched by the boy’s family resulted in the manufacturer recalling

the candy. Stores were instructed by the manufacturer to remove the item from their shelves, with a full refund to be provided.

Monsey Firefighters Highlighted in NBC News Story

With fewer people signing up nationwide to become volunteer firefighters, a unique program launched by the Monsey Volunteer Fire Department is drawing new members who are eager to serve the community.

NBC News reported that the Monsey Volunteer Fire Department has grown increasingly reflective of the local community in recent years, with an increase in Orthodox firefighters. That reality is a direct result of a new program created by Yitzi Grunwald four years ago to resolve a challenge for frum firefighters: National fire safety rules prohibit beards for firefighters who go inside buildings, as they can render the seal on an air supply mask ineffective. Grunwald’s program launched an external firefighting program at the Monsey Volunteer Fire Department, allowing those with beards to provide outside support to members who work inside structures that are on fire.

The Monsey Volunteer Fire Department currently has seven external firefighters, including Grunwald,

who said that they provide invaluable support as well as bridging the language gap for Yiddish speakers.

“I would really like to go inside, but I know I won’t be able to due to my religious belief,” said Grunwald. “We can have two or three or four interior guys working on that attack or stretching another line to a different side of the building while they know that the exterior members will already have ladders to the windows and a positive water supply at the hydrant.”

Veteran firefighter Aaron Lerer said that the department had been struggling to attract members.

“We knew we had to get creative to attract and keep new members,” said Lerer, who added that exterior firefighters can do “anything and everything up until going into the building.”

To date, the Monsey Volunteer Fire Department has responded to more calls than any other fire department in Rockland.

Hackers Target SNAP Cards, Leaving Beneficiaries in the Lurch

Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are being advised to change their PIN numbers after a rash of fraudulent activity was reported in recent weeks.

Rockland Daily reported that hackers have accessed SNAP accounts and stolen the benefits. Rabbi Hersh Horowitz, executive director of the Community Outreach Center of Rockland, said that the problem appears to be affecting individuals who have

their SNAP card information saved to their local stores’ computer systems.

“There seems to be a ring of thieves targeting our groceries and possibly accessing the information through store workers who take the card information and spend it at different locations,” said Rabbi Horowitz.

Those who receive SNAP benefits are advised to have their account information deleted from any in-store computer systems, to monitor their account balances, and to change the PIN they use to access their accounts, which can be done online at www.connectebt.com or by calling 888-328-6399. Clients who notice suspicious activity on their accounts or who have lost their benefits to scammers are urged to file a report with their local police departments as soon as possible.

Monsey residents can apply for SNAP benefits through the Community Outreach Council at 845-356-9600.

Latest Postal Hike Takes Effect; Stamp Prices Jump to 66 Cents

Get ready to dig deeper into your pocket next time you put a letter in the mail, with the second postal price hike of the year pushing the price of first-class stamps up to 66 cents.

The three-cent rate increase went into effect on July 9 and comes less than six months after the price of a first-class stamp jumped from 60 to 63 cents. According to CBS News, it is the

fifth postal increase since 2019, when it cost just 50 cents to mail a first-class letter.

According to the United States Postal Service, the rate increase is needed to offset higher operating expenses and to rectify “the effects of a previously defective pricing model.” Postmaster General Louis DeJoy justified the move, describing it as part of the United States Postal Service’s ten-year plan to profitability. Customers have been less than thrilled with the plan, which in addition to raising prices, also sets a six-day delivery goal for mail within the United States, twice as long as the agency’s previous three-day standard for mail delivery.

Also going up in price are postcards, which had been previously priced at 48 cents and are now selling for 51 cents, and international letters, which went up in price from $1.45 to $1.50.

Would-Be Travelers on Edge as Passport Application Process Remains Backed Up Post-COVID

Epic passport delays have become the new status quo in the United States, with the Department of State finding itself unable to keep up with a tidal wave of applications, leaving potential travelers in the lurch.

The Associated Press reported that following the pandemic-induced lull in travel, the demand for passports has far outpaced the abilities of the State Department’s current staff. The State Department expects to issue more than 22 million passports in 2023, but applicants are facing long delays. In addition to grueling wait times, some would-be travelers have been advised to pay extra fees to expedite their applications, while others have been told to fly to other cities to pick up their in-process passports in order to complete the process in time for their trip.

Ginger Collier of Dallas applied for passports for her family’s late-June trip at the beginning of March. She was warned that it could take eight to eleven weeks for their passports to show up, and even when the State Department announced that processing time had been bumped up to thirteen weeks, she still felt confident that their passports would arrive in time. As their departure date loomed, Collier spent hours calling the State Department, trying her luck on the official website and reaching out to her congressional representative, to no avail. One official she spoke with advised her to book her family’s mandatory passport appointments in another state.

Collier ultimately got her passport four days before her flight, but Miranda Richter wasn’t as lucky. She applied in early February for a passport for a June 6 trip to Croatia with her family, and while her husband and daughter received their passports eleven weeks later, her passport photo was rejected. Richter submitted a new photo via priority mail, paid a $79 rush fee, and spent hours on

the phone reaching out to the national passport line as well as every elected official she could think of, but ultimately had to cancel her trip, taking a loss of over $1,000.

Passport issues for American citizens living in Israel have made headlines in recent months, although wait times have improved, coming down from 360 days at the beginning of June to 90 days at the start of July. Disturbing wait times have been reported elsewhere as well, including 451 days in New Delhi, India, over 600 days in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 750 days in Mexico City and 801 days in Bogota, Colombia.

At a March 23 congressional hearing, elected officials told Secretary of State Antony Blinken that passport delays are the biggest problem being reported by their constituents. Blinken acknowledged that the issue is a real concern, and blamed the problem on COVID, explaining that passport staff was reassigned or dismissed during the pandemic when travel all but ceased. He also noted that the State Department’s online passport renewal system had been taken down temporarily for improvements but has been reinstated, and that new staff was hired and additional passport appointments scheduled. He added that other solutions are being pursued.

Chalav Yisroel Cheese Back on the Menu at New York Schools Through National Lunch Program

Chalav Yisroel cheese will once again be available to yeshivas in New York State through the United States Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch Program.

According to a statement released by Agudath Israel of America, New York yeshivas had been receiving chalav Yisroel cheese through the Kosher Commodities Co-op in 2021, but for the past two years, conflicts between USDA standards and kashrus requirements had cheese eliminated from the program. The issue was resolved through Agudah advocacy, making cheese, with its high protein and calcium levels, again available to yeshiva students.

Rabbi Yehoshua Pinkus, director of Yeshiva Services at the Agudah, credited Gita Deutsch of the Jewish Education Project and Sruly Sherer of World Cheese Co., which produces both Haolam and Migdal cheeses, for their efforts to identify a solution that complied with both USDA and kashrus standards.

“We are very pleased by this significant development, which allows for the availability of chalav Yisroel cheese to yeshivas participating in the National School Lunch Program,” said Rabbi Abba Cohen, Agudath Israel’s vice president for government affairs and Washington director. “This change will allow thousands of children to receive nourishing meals that meet their kashrus requirements.”

THE ALARMING NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS INVOLVING VEHICLES AND CHILDREN DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION BY EVERYONE!

THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!

SLOW DOWN, SAVE LIVES!

PARENTS:

Talk to your little ones repeatedly about road safety. Teach them the importance of looking both ways while crossing roads. Remind them to wear helmets while riding bikes, and insist they stay off the roads at all times.

MOTORISTS::

Exercise Caution, respect the speed limits, comply with all traffic regulations, and remain vigilant while driving especially near intersections and cross walks.

PEDESTRIANS: Wear reflectors at night, and make yourselves visible to those behind the wheel. Use sidewalks whenever possible, and always be cautious when walking near roadways.

Together, let's build a community where children can walk, bike, and enjoy the outdoors without fear or danger.

CHAPTER 14

Recap: Lani witnesses her daughter Malky being shockingly cruel to Chevi. Yaakov lands apprentice work with an experienced architect. Gittel Indig advises Riva to help Lani with her construction troubles.

When it came to the office “weather,” Riva had earned a reputation as a top meteorologist.

She’d called in that morning to say she’d be coming in late. Nobody was home sick or anything; she just wanted two hours to herself, to clean out as many cabinets as possible. Pesach loomed, and she was growing increasingly anxious that she wouldn’t make it.

It was incredible how much more efficient she was during those morning hours in a quiet house. She went from cabinet to cabinet, emptying contents, wiping down shelves, washing out whatever needed to be washed, throwing out little gadgets and containers she’d bought on a whim and hadn’t used even once, and neatly organizing everything and returning it to the shelves. She hummed as she worked, basking in the strange seren-

ity of this domestic activity.

Is this how a life without Kleenup looks?

She was standing on her counter, placing her Pyrex bowls back on the shelf, when she heard her cell phone chirp. She jumped off the counter and went to read the text. It was from her coworker, Miriam. If you aren’t deathly ill, I suggest you come in ASAP. We need you urgently.

There went her cleaning spree. Oh, well, she was happy with whatever she’d managed to get done.

Now, as she opened the door to the office, her weather antenna shot up immediately. Storm brewing, her instinct warned.

All the markers were there. The air was perfectly still, except for someone’s chair wheels rolling in a monotonous pattern, some pecking on keyboards, and a general atmosphere of charged expectancy.

Riva stepped lightly to mute her footsteps, trying to remain unobtru-

sive as she made her way to her seat. Once she was sitting, safely concealed by her two screens, she peeked out to assess the situation.

Adina, Chaya, Miriam and Shoshi were all sitting at their desks, apparently absorbed in their work. But the desk right next to hers, Shuli’s desk, was empty.

She spotted her a moment later, sitting on the other side of Big Boss’s desk.

Hi, Manager.

She was itching to ask Miriam what the story was, why the sudden urgency. But even a quick text to her coworker felt risky. The office felt like a minefield, and one wrong step could spell disaster.

She buckled down to work instead, trying to focus on her QuickBooks tasks. There would be a lot of deposits over the next few days; many people moved during the weeks leading up to Pesach, requiring Kleenup’s services, plus there were many companies who booked cleaning crews for an annual thorough cleaning of their premises.

By the time Shuli returned to her desk, Riva’s mind had shifted from the acute tension in the office to her demanding workload. She turned her head to say a quick hello, but the words froze on her lips as she caught sight of the young new manager.

You couldn’t miss the fact: Shuli looked awful.

Her face was pale, the soft waves of her hair seemingly immobilized, as though their roots had gone cold. Her arms were stiff at her sides, her palms pressing into the vinyl of her chair. She looked afraid to breathe, afraid to move her head.

She looked like she was going to cry.

Riva knew that look. How many times had she returned from a meeting with Mr. G in that state, quaking inside, feeling like she was shrinking, shrinking, shrinking, into a nothing? How many times had she locked herself in the office bathroom to drink air, stifle sobs? A mature adult, a mother of four children, reduced to nothing, worthless.

She knew that look. She knew that feeling. She lived that existence.

But… Shuli.

This was Mr. Gabioff’s prized manager, Miss Charming Know-It-All, G-d’s gift to humanity. What in the world was going on?

Maybe she should have felt triumphant — Serves her right. Who did she think she was, charging in on the company and rising right up to a position of leadership? But Riva felt none of that. All she felt was pity.

It wasn’t until two o’clock, when their boss left the office for Mincha, that she had the opportunity to speak to Shuli. By that time, Shuli seemed to have more or less collected herself, making Riva reconsider approaching her at all.

Riva observed her silently. She did look composed, true, but Riva still sensed a quiver. Enough to propel her to take the risk.

She walked over casually.

“Tough morning,” she said, her tone a mix of statement and question.

Shuli combed fingers through the tips of her hair. She made brief eye contact, so fleeting that Riva could barely judge if it was deliberate or not, then flung her hair back.

“Yeah.”

Safe, just like the question. Riva took off her glasses and wiped them on her sweater, allowing a few seconds to pass in silence. When she put them back on, Shuli had turned fully to face her.

“I have no idea how you survived nine years here.”

“Neither do I,” Riva said. “I’m sorry about that. I thought with you it would be different.”

“Different?” Shuli let out a short, coarse laugh. “If by different you mean worse, then yes, it’s different.”

She turned back to her screen, a sweet smile on her face, the familiar aloof barrier back in place. With slow steps, Riva returned to her desk.

“I have a treat for you, girls,” Miss Katz announced. “If everyone finishes the test early, we can have outdoor recess until the end of the day.”

A buzz of yessssssss erupted in the classroom. The girls exchanged urgent looks with their friends, as though conspiring to make it happen.

It was an open book history test, because the teachers didn’t want to burden the girls with too much homework between Purim and Pesach. So really, it would be easy to get the test done quickly and head outside.

Easy for Fraidy Stroh, at least.

She reviewed her answers one last time, stacked the papers on her desk, and looked around the room. All of her classmates were still hard at work, flipping pages in their history books, frowning at the question sheet, scribbling answers.

Okay, she was used to this. She often finished her tests first. They’d probably all be done soon. The test had been really easy, even if it hadn’t been open book. She headed up to Miss Katz’s desk, put her test down, and headed back to her seat to wait.

As she made her way back between the rows, she felt someone staring at her. She turned to the right, and sure enough, Chevi Eisdorf’s eyes were aimed at her.

For a moment, Fraidy stared back. She didn’t know if her cousin was trying to tell her something, but the familiar prickle spread over her arms, like a million tiny needles dig-

THE OFFICE FELT LIKE A MINEFIELD, AND ONE WRONG STEP COULD SPELL DISASTER.

INFLAMMATION

Hopefully our younger readers barely recognize the word “inflammation,” but seniors are almost certainly familiar with the problem. As a person starts to age they begin to feel various aches and pains in different parts of the body, and often the cause of these discomforts is inflammation.

Painful inflammation can be the result of swelling, injury or infection. In fact, sometimes the inflammation is the only sign that there is an infection going on. Inflammations are divided into two general categories, acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is a quick response to a cut or bruise. It shows that the body is responding and has begun the healing process. Usually the pain from acute inflammation subsides after a few days. Chronic inflammation is ongoing discomfort, even when there has been no injury or apparent infection. It is caused by internal problems and can occur in various parts of the body such as the brain, muscles, veins or bones.

their gut health is good. In particular it is important to be very rich in probiotics.

There are several common causes of inflammation. One is stress, as expressed by the saying that “stress and inflammation are best friends.” Smoking, too little sleep, too much alcohol and exercising too long at a time can also lead to inflammation. You need to give your bones and muscles a chance to rest from the strain of heavy exercising. Not exercising enough can be another cause of inflammation.

What can you take to reduce inflammation? Fatty fish such as salmon or sardines can be helpful, as are green vegetables like spinach and kale. Grapes, strawberries and blueberries can also reduce inflammation (check with your rabbi for kashrus guidance), as can olive oil, avocado and tomatoes. Some spices that are high in antioxidants can also have anti-inflammatory properties, such as turmeric, cayenne, ginger and rosemary.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, cons ectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

One common type of inflammation is arthritis, which is inflammation of the bone joints (where two bones meet). Aside from being very painful, this inflammation can damage the joints. Experts say that any kind of inflammation can lead to chronic health issues such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. It weakens the metabolism and leaves the person feeling hungry.

The Rambam – renowned in his time as a leading physician – famously wrote (Deos 4) that problems with the digestive tract leads to all sorts of diseases. That’s why someone who suffers from inflammation should make sure that

ging into her skin.

She turned her head away and sat in her seat. She pulled a blank sheet of paper out of her briefcase and absently started drawing a maze. Line, line, twist, curve, split it off, path A, path B, split it again, four paths now, lock one up, extend another, split, sub-split, lock.

Girls started handing in their test papers. Shevy Schwartz, Sari Bauer, Racheli Gluckstein. Fraidy glanced from her maze to Miss Katz’s desk and then briefly around the room. Most girls were done now. She drew a few more lines on her maze, then packed up her briefcase. Chevi handed in her test paper, and Fraidy saw her look around the room to check who wasn’t done yet. She seemed relieved to see a few girls still writing.

There are some foods you should avoid to help you feel better: Fried foods, especially fast foods like hot dogs and hamburgers. Foods containing transfats, sugar and white bread may also contribute to inflammation.

At the Vitamin Desk by Maple we have a large selection of supplements that can help reduce inflammation, including Vitamins A, C and D; turmeric; zinc; fish oil and more. Visit the desk and we will gladly help you choose what works best for you.

The class made it. When the last test paper was handed in, Miss Katz told the girls to pack up quickly and line up at the door.

“Let’s play Belts!” Shaindy Oberman shouted.

“No, we always play Belts,” Chevi said. “We didn’t play jump rope in aaaaages.”

“Yeah!” Tziporah said. Of course, she said yeah to everything Chevi suggested.

Chevi turned to Dassi Guttman. “Do you still have your rope in school, Dassi?”

“Uch, I don’t want to play jump rope,” Brachi protested. “I always get out in the first round. It’s so boring.”

“It’s so not boring,” Chevi huffed. “You can turn the rope if you don’t want to jump.”

“Hey, Fraidy, what do you want to play?” Brachi asked.

Fraidy didn’t want to join the debate. A while ago, she would’ve shared her opinion, said which sport she preferred, but not these days. These days, it felt safer to just stay quiet and do whatever everyone else decided. Especially when her preference wasn’t the same as Chevi’s.

But Brachi was waiting for an answer. “Hmm?” she prodded.

“I-i-i-t doesn’t matter,” Fraidy said. “Wh-wh-wh-atever you ch-

ch-oose.” She didn’t know why, but the words came out all broken up, like it was impossible to connect the sounds.

“We ch-ch-ch-ch-ooooooooose jump rope,” Chevi said.

Heat rose on Fraidy’s cheeks. She heard a few girls giggle, and tugged at the bottom of her sweater, afraid to meet anyone’s eyes.

The class agreed on jump rope, and of course, Chevi got to be first. Fraidy joined the end of the line reluctantly.

The game wasn’t so bad. The line moved quickly, as most girls moved right along without getting “out.” When they did, the line grew shorter, and the game got faster and more intense.

Eventually, there were five girls left in the game: Tziporah, Shevy, Racheli, Fraidy and Chevi.

Shaindy Oberman and Brachi Fried were turning the rope. Their faces were red, but they kept going. The girls in line bounced in place, zipped through the turning rope, jumped twice, zipped out, ran around the “turners,” and got back

in line again.

Fraidy was getting out of breath, but she kept going. It was fun; she actually enjoyed jump rope.

Then Chevi got out.

“It was Fraidy’s fault!” she shouted. “She was standing too close to me, I couldn’t run in properly.”

Shaindy and Brachi dropped the rope ends, shaking their arms to relieve the exertion.

“Cheater!” Chevi continued yelling. “Because you think you have to win every game. It’s not called winning, it’s called cheating. You’re such a baby.”

Fraidy’s face was hot, but it wasn’t from jumping. She had not stood too closely. She was right on line where she was supposed to be, gearing up for her turn to jump.

Surely everyone had seen that?

There were four girls still “in,” but somehow, with Chevi “out,” the game ended. Fraidy kicked the abandoned jump rope, keeping her eyes on the ground. She didn’t trust herself to face anyone.

Chevi walked right past her and crouched down to her briefcase. She took out a lollipop, a jumbo, colorful one that Fraidy knew tasted gross.

“Heeeey, can I have a lick?” Tziporah begged.

Chevi gave a long suck. “Sure,” she laughed. “If you’re okay with taking germs.”

“Umm…”

Brachi stuffed her jacket into her briefcase and hitched her briefcase on her shoulder. “If you’re looking to share,” she said, “you could share with Fraidy Stroh. You’re cousins, so it isn’t really germs, right?”

Fraidy gripped her briefcase strap. She didn’t turn her head to face Chevi, but she heard her every word.

“Huh? Fraidy? I would never share with her. She has stinky yellow teeth, because she never brushes them.”

Before her words had a chance to sink in, she marched over to Fraidy and punched her on the back.

TRANSFORMING MINERALS INTO ART

BENTZION YEHOSHUA

I first experienced the allure of the jewelry and gem trade at a young age. My father opened a jewelry store and repair shop a few years before I was born, and my first job was inspecting jewelry in my father’s store to see if any pieces needed touch ups or repairs. I remember the way my eyes popped and my jaw dropped the first time I held a parcel of diamonds and then a bar of gold, and was told how much it was worth.

Creating a piece of jewelry is not only about drawing a pretty picture and gluing “stones” to metal. Over the years I took professional courses on how to create, repair and design jewelry.

So, what does a jeweler actually do every day?

By definition, a “jeweler” is a person or company that makes or sells jewelry. In the trade, though, the term “jeweler” is usually used to refer to the person who actually puts together or repairs jewelry. Besides the jeweler, there are many other specialists who may be involved in the process of creating or repairing jewelry. For example, the designer conceives the style of the piece, and the CAD designer takes the description or sketch and transforms it into a digital file that is then 3D printed and later transformed into metal by the caster. The setter then prepares the metal mounting and sets the gem into the metal.

Other specialists may be involved, depending on the complexity of the job, and within each category there are varying levels of expertise and skill. In general, you typically get a level of quality in accordance with how much you paid; the cheapest possible item will have lower quality materials and workmanship.

What differences of quality can there possibly be in gold and diamonds?

A diamond is essentially a crystalized chunk of carbon atoms; the actual internal structure is referred to as the “crystal lattice.” Think of it like an interconnected tower of glass Legos. Remember building structures as a kid that were rock-solid and impossible to break, because of how the Lego bricks were connected? Now take that concept down to the atomic level and you will understand that diamond is one of the hardest things on the planet because of its densely linked structure. In fact, the only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. Within this crystalized structure there can be different types of what the industry calls “inclusions”: imperfections within the crystal structure that may appear black or white, in the shape of specks, feathers, or needles. The presence and quantity of these inclusions is rated as the “clarity” of the stone. Stones with the fewest inclusions and highest clarity are considered more desirable and thus more expensive.

What can I do if I am sensitive to gold?

We’ve helped people who get infections while wearing certain earrings determine why they were reacting to those earrings, and which metal they are allergic to — and then remedied it by replacing the posts with a more hypo-allergenic metal. The most common sensitivities we see are to nickel and to silver. We determine this by using a machine called an “XRF scanner,” which is kind of like an X-ray that detects the contents of the metal, broken down

into elements and sorted from greatest to lowest presence in the piece. Just like with diamond-checking tools, the best results come from the highest quality tools (which most jewelers do not have on hand).

What advice would you give people about the day-to-day wearing of their jewelry?

TELL ME QUICK:

NAME: Bentzion Yehoshua

BUSINESS NAME: Motek Jewelry

YEARS IN BUSINESS: 3

MY MOTTO: Quality first

Just like your car needs oil changes and new filters in order to keep it running properly, your jewelry could greatly benefit from an occasional deep-clean and regular preventative maintenance. This is especially true with pieces you wear daily. Electroplating rubs off and needs to be renewed every nine to fifteen months, metal gets micro scratches and goes from polished to dullish, and structural components such as prongs and joints (jump rings, links, etc.) wear down over time. A monthly or bi-monthly cleaning and inspection can save you thousands of dollars over time. You can easily prevent the need to replace a missing diamond by simply re-tipping the heads of worndown prongs.

What’s all this I’ve been hearing about lab grown diamonds?

WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW: You get what you pay for.

MOST COMMON REQUEST:

To explain what a lab-grown diamond is… and then to design a custom lab-grown diamond piece.

They’re the latest craze! Stay tuned — we’ll be talking about that next.

Bentzion Yehoshua founded Motek Jewelry together with his wife Nomi, MS, RDN, where they support clients in creating or discovering the greatest piece of jewelry they’ve ever worn, all while staying within budget.

GROUND CHICKEN GOALS

MIRIAM PESSY WERCBERGER

Offering a lean, protein-packed alternative to ground beef, ground chicken is often overlooked but can make a wonderful addition to your dinner rotation.

ASIAN CHICKEN EGG ROLLS

These tasty and filling egg rolls make for a complete meal with a salad or rice. You can freeze the assembled egg rolls raw, then fry them at your convenience.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground chicken

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 cubes frozen ginger

8 oz. shredded cabbage and carrots (coleslaw mix)

3 scallions, white parts only, chopped

1 T. sesame oil

Pinch of cinnamon

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. sugar

12–15 eggroll wrappers

Oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring to break up the chicken, until it is crumbly and no longer pink.

2. Drain the excess liquid, and return the chicken mixture to the heat.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, and continue cooking for several more minutes, until the cabbage and carrots are somewhat tender.

4. Remove this filling from the heat, and allow it to cool slightly.

5. Place about two tablespoons of the chicken-vegetable mixture on the center of an eggroll wrapper.

6. Brush the wrapper’s edges with water or beaten egg.

7. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling. Bring the other two corners slightly over to the center, then roll the entire eggroll to seal it closed.

8. Repeat the above steps with the remaining egg rolls.

9. Fry the egg rolls in hot oil until golden.

Thank you for such an amazing program! I had 12 stubborn pounds and whatever I tried just didn't help...now just with few little changes I'm simply in awe, I bH reached my goal of 12 lbs! Thanx for making it so doable I just love this lifestyle and feel super energized!

SAVORY CHICKEN PIZZA

There’s nothing quite like a good homemade pizza dough paired with seriously savory meat toppings. This recipe yields two pies.

I find that using half high-gluten flour and half white whole-wheat flour makes for the tastiest combination. The whole-wheat flour isn’t a must; the main thing is to use at least half high-gluten flour, because that’s where the crispiness comes from.

INGREDIENTS

1¼ cups warm water

2 T. sugar

2 tsp. active dry yeast

2 T. olive oil

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. garlic powder

½ tsp. oregano or basil

1.5 cups Wondermills challah (high-gluten) flour

1.5 cups Wondermills white whole-wheat flour

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, mix together the water, sugar and yeast. Cover this with cling wrap, and let stand until the mixture is frothy.

2. Add oil and mix.

3. Mix the salt and spices into the flour, then slowly add this to the bowl.

4. Knead this together until a dough forms. The dough should be sticky but manageable. Add more flour if necessary.

5. Once the dough is formed, grease the bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.

6. Punch down the dough and divide it in two. To freeze a portion of the dough for later use, freeze it as soon as it has finished rising. When you’re ready to use the dough, thaw it in the refrigerator, then bring it to room temperature for one hour before baking.

TOPPING

INGREDIENTS

2 T. olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 pinches salt, divided

4 cloves garlic

1 lb. ground chicken

6 oz. smoked turkey cold cuts, cubed

½ lb. of your favorite pizza sauce

Honey and black pepper, to sprinkle on top

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions along with a pinch of salt. Saute for a few minutes until the edges turn golden.

2. Add the crushed garlic, and saute for an additional minute.

3. Add the ground chicken along with another pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently to break up the meat, until it is no longer pink.

4. Add the cold cuts and mix to incorporate. Remove from heat.

5. Take half the dough, and roll it out into an 11” circle, the size of your pizza maker. Resist the urge to use a parchment paper when baking; you will be rewarded with a perfect crispy pizza crust (the dough doesn’t leave much mess in the pizza maker anyway).

6. Add the dough to the pizza maker, and pre-bake it for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottom of the dough is nicely browned.

7. Add pizza sauce and half of the meat topping, and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Top the pizza with a drizzle of honey and freshly ground black pepper, or a drizzle of garlic aioli.

BREADED CHICKEN BURGERS

There’s something super kid-friendly about a breaded chicken burger. Prepare a batch and freeze some raw to fuel those active summer afternoons.

INGREDIENTS

1½ lb. ground chicken

1½ cups breadcrumbs, divided

½ cup seltzer

1 egg

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. parsley flakes

½ tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. black pepper Oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all burger ingredients, using only 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. (Reserve the rest for the coating.) Form this mixture into patties.

2. Place 1 cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Coat the patties in breadcrumbs, then fry the patties in oil until they’re golden on both sides and cooked through.

Along for the Ride

How to Survive a Road Trip with Kids

My aunt once mentioned that she and her husband had driven from New York to Florida with all of their kids. More than once.

I stared at her in profound shock. Like, imagine being related to a superhero. I simply could not wrap my brain around it.

Oh, I’ve done road trips. Back in the day. Before I had kids, when I could put the seat back and conk out if I wanted and wake up hours later. Hello, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts.

But traveling with kids is an avodah of the body, mind and heart. And ears. Oy, the ears!

CHANA GLUCK

To start the season of travel smoothly, I curated some travel tips to make your quest for rejuvenation easier. And from the comfort of my home, where snacks and freeze-pops are but an arm’s reach away, I cheer you on as you embark on your journey.

A Tip on Tips

Do you sometimes get dizzy from lists of top-tens and must-remembers? Same. It’s an era of information and we’re inundated. So know this: Sometimes, all it takes is one great tip to really improve your experience. Consider my tips a display on a shelf. Happy picking and choosing!

Packing Them Up

Okay, deep breath. Because I live in the moment and lists give me hives, my MO is we’ll-figure-itout. If I’m not the queen of winging it, I’m her lady-in-waiting. But! There are packing tips I’ve utilized successfully and, coming from me, they’re extra special because it means they’re super-heavy-duty and also geared for people — like myself — with ADHD tendencies.

In a nutshell: Think about each item you pack: When will I use this? Items to be used at your destination go only in the suitcase or in the car trunk. Items kids will use in the car go in their respective bags. And items you’ll use to clean up car messes go in the glove compartment. Your emergency chocolate stash will need to find a new home.

Suitcases

You’ll be jamming tons of stuff into a small space, so every inch is at a premium. Also, you’ll want to pack and unpack easily. This is why I’ve been loving the bag-per-kid method of packing. Thank you, bungled anti-plastic-bag law, for the surplus of non-woven numbers that live under my sink. I pack the stuff for one kid at a time into a large bag, with accessories and underwear in smaller bags inside. Line up all the bags in the suitcase. Arrive at destination and remove all bags from suitcase. Line them up neatly in a corner; stow suitcase until it’s time to go home.

No rummaging through everyone’s stuff when the kids change in and out of clothes, and if a kid gets dirty and needs to change, the whole suitcase doesn’t need to be reorganized. Checks all around!

Family Car Bag

Here’s where you’ll store anything that’s beyond the pretty little heads of junior passengers to worry about.

• Change of clothes for all

• Motion-sickness bags

• Paper towels for lighter messes

• Wipes (Yes, you’ll have these in the glove compartment, the trunk and the kids’ bags. You can never have enough.)

• Towel, for heavy-duty disasters

• Extra garbage bags

• Sunblock/insect repellent

• Ball or frisbee to unwind with at a rest stop

Individual Car Bags

Whether you’ll be using shopping bags, backpacks, or getting all fancy with personalized organizers, every kid needs their own bag in the car. Unless your armlength rivals Basya’s and you love pretzeling your neck.

Here’s a list of what’s handy in each:

• Snacks

• Water bottle

• Small prize/activity

• Tissues/wipes

Tip: Alternatively, use shower caddies for the kids’ activities and snacks. These are extremely handy and also put welcome space between He Looked at Me and She Started First.

Tip: If I could ban one thing from cars, it would be family packs. Of anything. My neck hurts in warning as I type this and beg you to harness the awesome power of single-serve. Yogurts, fruit puree, snacks, junk. And if you eschew single servings because they’re more expensive, by all means, buy in bulk and individualize at home.

Packing It In

Putting everything in the car is a major reality check, almost like turning theory to practice. For the question of what goes where and how to minimize clutter, use the above-mentioned mindset of thinking what you’ll use when.

The Glove Compartment

Will have things you really need at hand.

• Siddur/Tehillim

• Sunglasses (Once, when my kids were young and naive and misbehaving in the backseat, my husband and I simultaneously donned sunglasses and turned around. All delinquents froze in shock.)

• Wipes (Yes, even if you have some in the back.)

• Emergency bribes

• First-aid kit

• Motion-sickness bags

The Trunk

• Family car bag (see above)

• Extra blanket

• Outerwear

Keeping It Clean

This is key. A car can become a zoo in the space of five seconds if you don’t have safeguards in place. Go crazy with those wipes. Hang shopping bags between each row of seats, or get a car garbage can. Best is to make that plural for easiest trashing and the tidiest effect.

Keeping Them Happy

This is huge, and there isn’t an exact formula for it. Putting all organizing theory aside, this is what’ll make or break your trip: happy kids. And the secret is in the advance planning. If there’s a single magic word to remember here, it’s proactivity. Don’t wait for your kids to get into trouble (because they will; it’s inevitable), but actively think about how to keep them busy. Which translates into calm and happy. The stuff golden memories are made of!

For short car trips, I have my kids choose an item or two from their respective prize boxes. (Heaven knows they have only the haziest clue as to what’s in there, so let them use their trinkets at least once in a while!)

Longer trips are your opportunity to buy out the local dollar store. Those are packed with gems for road trips — all manner of party favors and travel-sized entertainment. You can use colored paper bags to pre-prep activity kits for each day of travel.

Emergency

Trunk Stash

• First-aid kit

• Working flashlight with batteries

• Phone charger

• Map and compass

• Blanket

• Drinking water and nonperishable foods

• Reflective cloth and vest

• Duct tape

• Seatbelt cutter

• Inflated spare tire, wheel wrench and tripod jack

• Fire extinguisher

• Jumper cables

Here is an enticing list of potential entertainment:

• Fidget toys/brainy mazes

• Travel-sized games

• Colored pencil roll

• Crayola Color Wonder markers and papers, a fantabulous invention by everyone’s favorite factory that precludes junior art enthusiasts from coloring on anything but the Color Wonder paper. The markers simply won’t work on anything else.

• Boogie boards — an inexpensive digital writing pad, reusable with the touch of a button

• Coloring books/word games

And for games to play:

• License plate search: See how many license plates you can find from different states.

• Counting cars: Have each kid choose a different car color, and count how many pass in the opposite direction.

Tip: Make the most of your car mirror when talking to your kids, rather than dizzying neck-twisting. Make eye-contact, waggle your eyebrows and wave to show them you’re present and listening.

Tip: Designate pockets of quiet time in the car to give everyone a breather. Discuss the rules of quiet time beforehand to make sure everyone’s clear on what they can/cannot do then. (Yes, you can do a quiet activity then. You can even sleep then. No, you cannot tell a story then. No, you cannot fight then.) Reward good behavior during quiet time when you exit this entrancing trance.

Sensory Struggles

For some unfortunates among us, simple snacking or humming can lead to feeling… overstimulated would be too kind a term. The enclosed-ness of a car can raise the anxiety to a fevered pitch. How to keep tempers even while triggers abound? The first few suggestions are ways of dealing with it; the last few, emergency cop-outs. But desperate times, right?

Join the fun. Seriously, grab a bag of super-snacks, and crunch along if eating noises make you crazy. It helps. Let loose and chew loudly for once. It’s liberating. Breathe. Do so deeply, in and out, to calm your body.

Brain talk. Tell this to that gray spongy organ in a state of emergency: It’s not dangerous. Listen to the crunching/ humming/slurping, and see what happens. Nothing. Tell that to your brain to hamper the fight-or-flight.

Music. Turn on your favorite melody, and let it take you far away.

Plug. A discreet pair of earplugs may be your answer, if all else fails.

The Way Back

If there’s one thing that’s easy to overlook, it’s the way back, when all the excitement of travel has fizzled out. When every adult is desperate for quiet and the kids are cranky and overstimulated and heartbroken that their fun has come to an end. Be one of those who prep for it. A small investment of time before the trip will yield huge dividends in terms of calm, content and a family-wide processing of the fun times had.

Grab some pointers:

TRAVEL JOURNAL: Younger kids can draw and decorate; older kids can decorate and write. Have each kid keep a little notebook just for family trips. Hand them out on the way back, along with pens, crayons and some stickers so they’ll be excited to put down their impressions and keep the fun going, instead of feeling miserable that the good times are over.

FAMILY SHARE: Give each family member a turn to share their general impressions or favorite parts of the trip.

NEW ACTIVITY: Stash away some small prizes/activities for the way back. Break them out to bring a dash of excitement into an otherwise exhausting return journey. You can do the same with a special snack for the way home.

Here’s to hoping that your trip will bring you a boatload of fun moments and treasured memories. And remember: Mishaps handled well build family muscle!

Bon voyage!

For any issues such as:

• Garbage pickup issues

• Street light outages

• Construction concerns

• Unauthorized road closures

Trays to Go

Sponsored by: Rockland Kosher

Packing individual meals on trays and wrapping them tightly with Cling Wrap makes for convenient on-the-go meals with minimal mess.

Once they’re wrapped tightly, trays can be stored in any direction and piled one on top of the other in a bag, box or cooler.

This type of packing is also great for picnic suppers, due to the trays’ transportability and the sturdy surface they provide for eating.

Note: While cafeteria trays were used here, you can use disposable foam or plastic trays for convenience.

How to Survive a Road Trip with Kids

Small bags on the tray encourage instant aftermeal cleanup.

Breakfast

Slice rolls in half so they’re ready to be spread. Prepare younger children’s sandwiches in advance.

How to Survive a Road Trip with Kids

When it comes to slushy drinks, freeze and then pack. It will take a while until the ice thaws completely.

Lunch

Place several baby wipes in a sealed bag to wipe sticky hands, faces, and the tray as soon as the meal is over.

How to Survive a Road Trip with Kids

To keep things in place after the tray is wrapped, you can tie the napkin and cutlery together with a small piece of raffia or twine.

Supper

To prevent sogginess, place only the cold cuts into the sandwich, and package dressings and vegetables separately.

How to Survive a Road Trip with Kids

These are perfect for avoiding any form of liquid.

Packing little bags of cappuccino or hot cocoa mix means you can have your favorite chalav Yisroel caffeine boost in the skies or on the road. All you need is a cup of hot water. (You can also use coffee packets and milk powder from Baker’s Choice.)

Airplane

Cut vegetables into chunky pieces to keep them crisp longer, and avoid tomatoes. Add salt right before eating.

A few hours’ drive from the standard New York stomping grounds is an enchanting place of extreme beauty. There, water rushes over chiseled rock, and boats sail gently across placid lakes. Grapevines creep across the countryside, and the air is crisp and invigorating. Welcome to the Finger Lake region, so named for the eleven lakes that, when viewed from above, somewhat resemble a human hand. You can certainly see the Hand of Hashem within their beauty.

CAYUGA and SENECA

lakes are two of the deepest lakes in the United States. Seneca is nearly one-eighth of a mile deep, while Cayuga is just a bit shallower at 435 feet deep. Both of the lakes are named after the Iroquois tribes who originally inhabited the area.

CONESUS LAKE is a bit quieter than her popular sisters, but even then, it’s quite the destination for swimming, boating and fishing during warmer months. Icefishing and snowmobiling have become popular pastimes in the winter.

KEUKA LAKE, colloquially called “the crooked lake,” is a Y-shaped lake that has the honor of being the only lake in America that flows both north and south at the same time.

Each of the eleven lakes are great places to explore the great outdoors, but HEMLOCK and CANADICE are for those who really want to rough it. Kayaking down either of these leave you in your own bubble of tranquility, for these two lakes are the only ones in the Finger Lake region that have undeveloped shorelines. Here, it’s nature at its best.

CANADICE LAKE

A half-century ago, the AMERICAN BALD EAGLE was a rarity in New York State, with only one known pair of eagles nesting. Due to DDT poisoning, eagle eggshells became unnaturally weak, causing them to break, killing the young inside. At that point, a solitary pair of New York nesting eagles managed to successfully hatch their young in the Hemlock Lake area. Fortunately, over the last 50 years, the eagle population has grown to almost 400 nesting eagles, giving these birds a lovely chance of survival in New York. If you’re lucky, you might just catch a glimpse of a Bald Eagle couple and their crew.

The FINGER LAKE REGION is so much more than lakes! Deep green foliage, naturally chiseled stone, and gorgeous gorges make for many magnificent hikes. The WATKINS GLEN STATE PARK is outstanding for its somewhat jungle-like environment, in which you can wind your way along the gorge trail, which is paved with stone. On this hike you’ll see not one, but an astounding nineteen waterfalls!

Move over, Niagara!

It’s TAUGHANNOCK

FALLS STATE PARK that hosts the tallest free-falling waterfall this side of the Mississippi. This 215foot waterfall is three stories higher than Niagara Falls, and it’s definitely worth a visit! Hiking to the falls isn’t too strenuous either, as it’s located only three-quarters of a mile from the trailhead.

Though the falls at the ROBERT H. TREMAN STATE PARK may not be able to compete with Taughannock, the beauty of the area makes up for it.

The Finger Lake region is the perfect climate for grape growing, and OVER ONE HUNDRED VINEYARDS dot the region. Though most of them aren’t kosher, there’s one that must be mentioned: The Manischewitz Winery, which is the largest producer of kosher wine in the world.

While in the Finger Lakes region, you’ll want to swing by the SONNENBERG GARDENS and its QUEEN ANNE Victorian-style mansion boasting 40 rooms. It’s breathtakingly beautiful, and the perfect prescription for a relaxing day.

You don’t really have to travel to see the breathtaking handiwork of Hashem; you can find it in your own backyard or city streets. His stamp is on the flowers and trees, and on the smallest of ants that scurry down the sidewalk. But everyday miracles often mask His majestic fingerprints, – and when that happens, it might just be worthwhile to get away, to see His Hand upon the Finger Lakes.

Other Attractions

ROSE HILL MANSION AND FARM

Experience a taste of nineteenth-century life when you visit Rose Hill Mansion in the beautiful Finger Lakes. Once a working farm, the house and surrounding grounds are now open seasonally for guided tours. Built in 1839, the Greek Revival house was the center of a busy and productive farm. The tour focuses on the Swan family, who lived in the house from 1850 to 1890. Through letters, photographs and diaries, one can explore the family’s joys and sorrows, along with their interactions with neighbors and the many workers required to keep the large house and farm in working order. Discover how Robert Swan, a New York City transplant, used scientific innovations like drain tile to make his farm more productive and profitable. See twenty rooms restored and furnished in the Empire style, popular from the 1820s to 1850s. Enjoy the magnificent view of Seneca Lake from the front porch, and the vista of nearby farmlands.

SENECA TRIBE MUSEUM

A museum exploring the history of the Seneca tribe in over 17,000 square feet of space.

CORNING GLASS MUSEUM

Flameworking demos, modern glass art gallery, and courses on glass in history. Kids under seventeen visit free!

SEWARD HOUSE MUSEUM

The mission of the Seward House Museum is to inspire curiosity and foster learning about 19th-century America through the lens of William H. Seward’s family by providing engaging and unique experiences. To that end, the museum welcomes students of all ages through its doors to learn about history. A visit to the Seward House combines an incredible collection of original artifacts with the rich tapestry of stories behind them. The experience is immersive, leaving students feeling connected to the Seward family and their place in American history.

Boston The Birthplace of America

Boston is a fantastic all-around trip destination. It’s a city that is rich in American history, nature and additional attractions. Boston also has kosher food and minyanim.

We visited for a two-day trip one fall and managed to do a lot in Boston. At only a bit over a three-hour drive from Monsey, it’s a very worthwhile trip. There’s also the option of taking an Amtrak train to get there.

Harbor Walk

The Harbor Walk starts at the Atlantic Wharf across the street from the Tea Party Ship and Museum and continues alongside the beautiful harbor. The walkway passes through Rowe’s Wharf, the New England Aquarium, Christopher Columbus Park and Sergeant’s Wharf, and ends all the way at Battery Wharf.

When we visited Boston, we stayed right at the harbor. We walked along the Harbor Walk at night, enjoying the fresh air and the sights of the docked boats and the twinkling lights of the building.

There are a lot of activities in the area. The Tea Party Ship and Museum is fascinating, and there are inexpensive Hubway bike rentals, where bikes can be picked up and dropped off in various stations all over the city. There are also ferries and water taxis, parks, and the New England Aquarium along the Harbor walk. It’s definitely a busy and beautiful area to visit.

ADDRESS: Atlantic Wharf-Battery Wharf, Boston, MA 02210

PRICE: Free

The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

After strolling along the Harbor walk at night, we crossed over the Christopher Columbus Park to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a series of parks that led back down to our destination on Atlantic Avenue.

We entered the Greenway right near the Greenway Carousel and continued to the beautiful Ring Fountain, then through Mother’s Walk. In the Harbor Fog Fountain area, the foggy fountain sprayed us with mist and caught us by surprise. We exited the Greenway at the Fort Point Channel Park, although the Greenway continues to the Dewey Square Park and then to the Chinatown Park.

I was amazed at how each section of the park has its own unique character and is extremely well maintained. I kept thinking that the parks would end, but the Greenway continued to lead to more and more areas.

ADDRESS: Mostly on Atlantic Avenue, parallel with the Harborwalk

Boston Duck Tour

Riding a bus into the water (you read correctly; the bus is driven directly into the water) is an experience that’s hard to forget.

The idea of “duck boats” was actually conceived during World War II. They were used by the military as a convenient mode of transport — trucks that didn’t need to be unloaded onto boats; boats with no need to dock. Now the Duck Boats are used as a fun way to explore and get to know the city of Boston.

The tours leave from three popular tourist sites: the Boston Science Museum, The Prudential Center and the New England Aquarium. Discounts available when those attractions are bought in conjunction with the Duck Tour tickets. Duck Tour visitors can also access parking at a reduced rate.

The conDUCKtors narrate the 80-minute tour, 60 minutes on land and 20 minutes on the beautiful Charles River. During the ride, the conDucktor explains about the three F’s you’ll encounter in Boston: The city represents Freedom, it’s the city of Firsts, and of course, it’s a Fun place to be. Some of the famous landmarks seen on the tour are the golden-domed State House, the Bunker Hill Monument, Boston Common, Copley Square, the Big Dig, the Boston Public Library, the Prudential Tower and, of course,

The Boston Common

The 50-acre Boston Common is the oldest park in America, dating back to 1634. The pentagon-shaped park borders on Tremont, Park, Beacon, Charles, and Boylston streets. The Common has witnessed many events of history and protests throughout the years. The historic 2.5-mile Freedom Trail, with many historic sites along the way, starts from the Common. In addition to the large grassy fields found on the Common, there are tennis courts, an exciting Tadpole Playground, a carousel, and the Frog Pond in which children can splash in the spray pool. In the winter, the Frog Pond becomes a skating rink. Originally, there were three ponds in the common. The Frog Pond is the only one left.

the magnificent Boston and Cambridge skyline, seen from the Charles River.

When we were on the tour, our entertaining and engaging tour guide taught us about the history of Boston and the wicked way of talking in Boston. He even allowed us to take turns steering the Duck on the river.

Prudential Center Skywalk Observatory

The Skywalk Observatory in Boston is located on the 50th floor of the Prudential Shopping Center in Boston. I hadn’t expected the Observatory to be all that interesting, but I was pleasantly surprised. Since Boston is a beautiful city, with the Charles River running alongside it and mountains completing the pretty picture from afar, the Skywalk Observatory, with its 360-degree views of Boston, was actually very enjoyable.

Boston Public Garden

The Boston Public Garden is a formal garden located across the street from the Boston Common. The garden is beautifully kept by caring citizens through the Friends of the Public Garden Association. The garden was the first public botanical garden in America, dating back to 1838. It’s masterfully designed, with trees planted from countries all around the world. The trees have name tags with relevant information hanging from them.

There is a majestic statue of George Washington on a horse at the Arlington Street entrance. The Duckling Sculpture at the corner of Beacon and Charles is also extremely popular. The statue is based on Robert McCloskey’s 1941 children’s bestseller Make Way for Ducklings ; the bronze figures represent Mrs. Mallard and her eight ducklings.

From early April to late September, the original Swan Boats are open for visitors. The Swan Boats were first designed in 1877 and have been gliding along the lagoon ever since. The boats move along at two miles an hour, circle the island, and go under the bridge. A trip on the Swan Boat adds excitement to a visit to the beautiful garden.

Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum

Before we entered the Tea Party Ship and Museum, I told my husband, “I really don’t want to spend much time here. Max a half hour. Let’s look around quickly and then continue. Don’t read everything…”

But I was taken by surprise when we began the tour. The guides were all dressed in clothing from the period prior to the Revolution and reenacted the meetings and the actual throwing of the tea into the sea. Everything was presented so interestingly, you wouldn’t know you were learning history.

Each visitor on the tour was given an identity of one of the men who took part in the Boston Tea Party, with some personal details about him. After meeting to discuss the major tax issues, we headed out to the ship to dump the tea off the authentically restored ship into the sea.

The tour then continued to the museum (no photos al-

lowed in the museum) where you can view the only surviving tea chest from the Boston Tea Party, a 3D holographic exhibit and an award-winning multi-sensory film that takes you through time until America became its own independent country.

A DIY sukkah decoration series

Chava Schwartz

It’s summertime, the perfect season to take on a fun and creative project. This painting project will teach you many painting skills while showing you how to create beautiful artwork for your sukkah.

Over these eight weeks, we will guide you on how to complete a beautiful, hand-painted shivas haminim sukkah decoration. Each of the shivas haminim will get a separate painting as part of this series, and the last week of instructions will be reserved for writing the names of the shivas haminim onto the completed paintings.

The paintings will be taught in a step-bystep manner so everyone can join and enjoy. You do not need to be an artist to create this masterpiece.

Happy painting!

WEEK 3

Gefen | Grapes

For the third painting of this series, we’ll be painting a vineyard. In this picture, the grapes are visible through the large leaves on the vines, and the center path creates the perfect setting for an imaginary walk through the vineyard where you can almost touch, smell and feel the richness of the grapes. Have fun painting!

THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO PAINT! EACH PERSON’S PAINTING WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. REMEMBER TO ENJOY THE PROCESS INSTEAD OF BEING FOCUSED ON THE RESULTS.

PHOTO BY MOSHE GRUNFELD PHOTOGRAPHY

STEP 1

Mix blue and white to get light blue, and paint the top half of the canvas. Next, mix yellow ocher and white to get a light sand color, and use this to paint the bottom half.

STEP 2

Mix sage green with some white. Paint the two sides and top of the yellow ocher with this green, leaving out the center in a zigzag manner.

STEP 3

Mix yellow ocher with a bit of magenta. Fill the space left between the green with this darker color to create the path.

STEP 4

Using some more sage green paint, add globs of darker green to the light green areas on both sides of the canvas, to create the effect of leaves.

STEP 5

Using brown paint, add some small vertical lines to the center edge of the greenery on the right side of the canvas. Add some more lines between the leaves.

STEP 6

Mix violet and some magenta to create a deep grape color. Paint clusters of dots to create bunches of grapes along the path on both sides of the vineyard. Note that the left side of the vineyard features some larger bunches of grapes.

STEP 7

Proudly sign your painting!

Hey, I’m Yossi. Owner of Adtrak Media

Geeker constantly saves my employees from technical trouble

Here’s a recent example.

My employee, Rachel, kept getting control panel errors while dealing with heavy graphic files, including disc management and storage consumption

She was unable to perform any work due to the overload.

However, the source of all this trouble could not be identified. Our magic formula when feeling technically stuck?

Instinctively contact Geeker.

David, her geek, was incredibly patient! He stuck with her until the issues were completely resolved.

Now, the computer is back to normal and we could not be more appreciative of his time and attention!

The best part?

•Pay as you go.

•On-demand assistance. 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

•My shops run smoothly. Technical glitches aside.

I am the owner of a well-run business. And a Geeker fan.

Rising Above Status

Shauli, an accomplished and sophisticated man in his mid-thirties, first came to me burdened with feelings of self-doubt and inferiority. Despite his evident competence and talent at his job, he wrestled with an uneasy feeling of inadequacy, particularly in dealing with his more socially or professionally ‘superior’ colleagues. The belief that high status implied superiority had grown so deeply rooted in his mind that he’d lost sight of his own value.

As we began working together, it was imperative to first assure Shauli that these feelings were not uncommon; many experience intimidation or self-deprecation around high-status individuals. Reassuring him that we could arm ourselves with tools to grapple with this, we embarked on our journey of recognizing and affirming his inherent self-worth.

Feelings of inferiority often stem from societal dynamics that mistakenly associate status—a concept linked to professional stature, wealth, power, or public recognition—with virtue and self-worth. However, these external markers of perceived ‘success’ or ‘high status’ rarely reflect one’s character or unique capabilities, nor do they authentically gauge personal achievements.

Societal norms and expectations can veer us off the path of self-acceptance, convincing us of a distorted sense of self-worth based on comparison. This unceasing comparison with others can often exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. Therefore, the journey to self-con-

tentment begins with realizing that true self-worth arises not from external validation or comparison but from internal acceptance.

This inherent belief implores us to appreciate our distinctive traits and abilities, take pride in our personal growth, and dissolve the external factors affecting our contentment. Fostering self-acceptance does not mean embracing complacency; it signifies appreciation for individual strengths, acceptance of flaws, and celebration of personal milestones- regardless of how they compare to others’.

We are each a unique tapestry of experiences, passions, strengths, and values. This intrinsic assortment illuminates our inherent value, and fostering a belief in this inherent self-worth can build resilience against feelings of inadequacy and minimize unhealthy soci-

The belief that high status implied superiority had grown so deeply rooted in his mind that he’d lost sight of his own value.

A journey of revelation toward intrinsic selfworth amidst feelings of inferiority.

etal comparisons.

Shauli’s journey to embrace his self-worth required the cultivation of self-compassion: Recognizing the inherent value of our imperfections as human beings and viewing challenges not as symbols of inadequacy but as common threads in the fabric of our shared humanity.

Crucial for Shauli was the ability to engage in healthy inner dialogue. By speaking kindly to himself, he could replace self-deprecating thoughts with encouraging, constructive beliefs. He began regularly practicing self-affirmations, reinforcing the reality of his inherent worth and value.

As Shauli delved deeper into self-contentment and unraveled his intrinsic worth, he slowly shed the shrouds of his perceived inferiority. He learned to value himself for who he was, secure in his own brilliance and value, regardless of the status of those around him. By appreciating his worth, Shauli realized he belonged everywhere he went, not because of a secure status but because of a secure self-perception.

Shauli’s journey stands as a poignant reminder that basing our self-worth on external factors or status is a futile exercise. Our worth is deeply rooted in our authenticity and the contentment we find in just being ourselves. It is a journey of discovery that liberates us, empowering us to navigate life with newfound confidence, resilience, and unshaken self-belief.

In conclusion, focusing our self-worth on outward symbols of status is a trapped perception. Our worth is instead rooted in our authentic selves, in the contentment we feel with ourselves as we are. Recognizing this is liberating — it empowers us to navigate life with renewed confidence, resilience, and grace.

Societal norms and expectations can veer us off the path of self-acceptance, convincing us of a distorted sense of selfworth based on comparison.

LAKE: a large body of water surrounded by land

Paint Some Polka Dots

When you picture a lake, what comes to mind? A beautiful expanse of blue water? Well, not Lake Khiluk in British Columbia, Canada. If you visit this lake in the summer, you’ll see large pools of green, blue, and yellow that give the lake a polka-dotted look. How does this happen? The lake has a large concentration of minerals. In the summer, a lot of the water evaporates in the heat, so the minerals are less diluted. The minerals give the water its color.

POND: a small body of water surrounded by land

Monet’s Pond

This might be the most famous pond worldwide. It’s located in Giverny, France, and was bought by the famous painter Claude Monet in 1893. One of his reasons for buying the property containing this body of water was for the purpose of painting pictures of it. Monet painted no fewer than eighteen views of his pond with the bridge over it. The pond is full of pretty water lilies, so these paintings are appropriately called Water Lily. People still visit this pond today, to see the subject of those famous paintings.

RIVER: a large, flowing body of water that empties into a sea or ocean

Way Up There

You may have gone whitewater rafting on the Delaware River, but how about floating down the highest river in the world? The Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, China, has an average elevation of 4,000 meters. It’s called the Everest of Rivers because it is so high up.

OCEANS AND SEAS: bodies of saltwater

Drinking Seawater: Desalination

With most of Planet Earth covered in water, we Earthlings should never be lacking drinking water, right? Well, almost. Since the vast oceans and seas are made of saltwater, which humans can’t drink, we can still run out of drinkable water. Unless you can figure out a way to make the saltwater drinkable. That’s where desalination comes in. This process has been used for hundreds of years, especially on ships, to get freshwater from the ocean. The simplest way to desalinate the water, or remove the salt, copies the water cycle. First, you turn the water into water vapor, which separates the salt from the water. Then you condense the vapor back into water in another container. Voila! There’s your fresh water.

New Ocean on the Block

Can you name your oceans? Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic. Right — except that lately another ocean has been named: the Antarctic. It’s the body of water along the southern tip of the globe near Antarctica.

Some Ocean Facts

ARCTIC: the smallest, shallowest and coldest ocean

The Liquid Rainbow

This one might make your eyes pop. There’s a river called Cano Cristales in South America that has thick stripes of five different colors: red, yellow, green, blue and black. Each color is created by a different element. The red comes from a plant, the green from algae, yellow from the sand, blue from clear water and black from rocks. It’s definitely a sight to see!

PACIFIC: the largest and calmest ocean. Magellan, a sixteenth-century explorer, gave it the name from the word pacify, or peaceful.

ATLANTIC: busiest ocean

INDIAN: warmest and most dangerous ocean. Because a large part of the Indian Ocean is located along the equator, its waters are very warm. This creates the perfect conditions for dangerous storms like tsunamis, monsoons and cyclones, making it the roughest of the oceans.
