During my interview with Brand's Payroll, the seamless communication from Supreme Talent stood out. Sol and his team kept the process moving smoothly, and I received my o er letter in no time.
After a brief stint elsewhere, I returned to Brand's Payroll, thanks to Sol recognizing my fit for the role. Now, as an Implementation Manager, I value the open communication, empowerment, and supportive culture Brand's Payroll provides.
What makes Supreme Talent even more exceptional is their continued support—Sol has kept in touch months after my placement, demonstrating their commitment to lasting success.

EDITOR’S NOTE
“My Responsibility,” one of the stories in the Yom Kippur collection titled “May He Turn His Face to You,” was inadvertently published without permission from the protagonist. Our deepest regrets for this oversight.

SUKKOS
DECORATION
(Pillar of Worlds, Issue 470)
I’m writing in simply to say how much I enjoyed the expanded Sukkos edition. I really appreciated all the Yom Tov’dik content. I love to relax and read, and since there wasn’t much time to do that other than on Yom Tov itself, I really appreciated that the material enhanced the Yom Tov feeling and did not take away from it.
The articles about the Ribnitzer Rebbe, in particular, touched me deeply, and I’m looking forward to davening there when I have the opportunity. I also enjoyed the article about the arba minim, as well as on the Bedouin lifestyle. And although my Sukkah is beautiful in other ways, it was fun to look at the tablescape pictures.
Thank you,
A Reader

(Re: Excursions, Issue 470)
Thank you so much for the Excursions section of the Sukkos magazine. It’s such a great resource for all of us. I had an idea that could enhance it even more: Can you create a section dedicated to toddler-friendly destinations? Or maybe just add icons to the existing listing to indicate which destinations are toddler-friendly.
Thank you for being my weekly source of entertainment!

(Re: May He Turn His Face to You, Issue 469)
Yom Kippur feels like ancient history, but as I don’t read the magazine on Yom Tov (because of the ads) and it’s been so busy otherwise, I just got around to reading the Yom Kippur issue. The stories about the brachos from rebbes were exquisite. They made me cry and moved me to daven. Please consider publishing content like this as a supplement so we can save it and enjoy it for the future.
Thanks,
EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT

(Re: Our Father, Our King, Issue 468)
This is a shoutout to the amazing editors of The Monsey View for the incredible, on-target articles you treat us to in every issue. After enjoying all of your extraordinary Yom Tov editions, I can think of quite a few articles that were so meaningful and relevant, and really impacted this Yom Tov season.
I loved the piece about parenting being a mashal for our relationship with Hashem. The stories were spot-on, especially the piece by Baila Berger, about her daughter “pushing” the water down the drain and “helping” bake the cake. We can laugh, but the joke’s really on us.
As always, Y. Levenstein’s parsha
essays were thought-provoking, and especially appreciated when I don’t have the headspace to open a sefer And T. Gestetner’s collection of our gedolim’s “Yom Kippur moments” was beautiful (and chizuk for this young mother who’s doing more “bein adam lachaveiro” than standing in shul on Yom Kippur).
Of course, I also love the serials, POV, straightforward yet delicious recipes, and the most creative and fun-to-read Bits of Wits. Please keep ‘em coming!!
A grateful reader,
QUESTION CAREFULLY
(Re: The Greatest Gift, Your Say, Issue 467)
I’d like to add my two cents to the discussion about children’s attitude of entitlement that parents inadvertently reinforce.
When you ask your children certain types of opinion questions, you’re basically telling them that they have the right to assess, analyze and rate whatever you’re asking about. For example, when a child comes home on the first day of school and you ask them if they have good teachers, you’re telling the child that their opinion of their teacher is relevant and that their focus should be on their opinions and comfort level. It’s better to ask, “How was the first day of school? Who are your teachers?” You could even make a positive comment about their teachers. That will serve your child well.
Also, it’s fine to give your child a gift from time to time. It doesn’t always have to be about getting a prize. Too many incentives train kids to evaluate every experience in light of what they will get out of it. Better to train children to be givers. Treat them to the privilege of being the one to hand out the cupcakes and make sure that everyone gets one. The satisfying feeling of being a giver will build them into great people.

WHAT’S THE FIRST THING YOU PUT INTO THE CART AT THE GROCERY?
WHAT’S ONE ITEM YOU WOULD BUY IF IT WEREN’T SO EXPENSIVE?
The first products I look for are the sale items. I would buy more ready-to-bake foods from the frozen section if they weren’t so expensive. I have a very large family, ka”h, and I’m always looking for shortcuts. – H.D.
The first things I put into my cart when doing my daily shopping are ingredients I need for that day’s supper. I know buying ahead or in bulk would save money and time, but it just doesn’t work for me. Usually, as I pass various aisles along the way to my must-buys, I’ll toss different items into my cart, whether I think I’m running low on it or to surprise a child with a favorite snack. If cut-up fruit weren’t so expensive, I’d definitely load up on that. As it is, fresh fruit costs a fortune and I think twice before purchasing any. – A Reader
I do my grocery shopping by going up and down the aisles and checking things off my list. Every week is different, but I usually start with bread or chicken/ meat. I would buy spicy cheese or freeze-dried candy if it weren’t so expensive. – A Reader
The first thing I put into my grocery cart is my baby! Once he’s settled in, I head over to the fruits and vegetables. Something I’d get if it weren’t so expensive would be pre-cut fruits and veggies, especially squash. We go through a lot of it, and it would be a real time-saver. – P.D.
Potatoes are usually one of the first items in my cart. I would buy those healthy fruit juices if they’d be less expensive; they look so tempting! – A Reader
The first thing I put into my cart is bread because it’s right at the entrance of the store I shop in most often. I would love to buy more frozen fruit if they weren’t so expensive. – D.G.
Fruits and vegetables are usually near the entrance of the grocery, so those get loaded into my cart first. I’d buy ready sandwiches and salads if they were cheaper. – A Reader
I collect the weekly specials first, based on what I need. I’d buy cured fish and ready cut-up fruits if they were less expensive! –L.K.
Fresh produce is usually the first thing I put into my cart. If frozen fruit weren’t so expensive, I would buy a smoothie maker and include frozen fruit in my regular grocery order. – F.T.
First are always the sale items! When we have a new item in the house, we all know it was on sale that week. While waiting in line at the grocery store, I always eye the expensive sushi rolls, but I save it for special occasions. – A Reader
The first thing I put into my cart is bread because it’s near the entrance of the grocery. I’d buy more ice cream if it were more affordable. – A Reader
The
first thing I put into my wagon is my two-year-old son who loves the grocery store. The second thing would be something for him to eat while I collect my order. I would buy thinsliced cutlets and more meat if they’d be cheaper, as well as more expensive chocolates. – I.R.
The first thing in my cart are sale items or new items placed in the front of the store. (Marketing works!) Cut-up fruit would be in my cart if it weren’t so expensive. – S.D.
I PUT MY TODDLER INTO MY CART FIRST. IF EVERYTHING WOULD BE CLEARLY PRICED, MAYBE I WOULDN’T BUY EVERYTHING I BUY. – S.B.
FRUITS AND VEGGIES COME FIRST! I WOULD LOVE TO PURCHASE ORGANIC PRODUCE IF IT WEREN’T SO PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. – A READER
The first (and most important) item in my cart is J&J Iced Cappuccino. I would love to purchase healthy smoothie drinks, but they cost $12 a bottle! – A Reader
The two items that are on repeat on my grocery list are avocados and eggs. If it weren’t so expensive, I’d probably buy more cut-up fruits and sushi. –A Reader
ELECT ARON WIEDER ASSEMBLY
The first thing I put into my cart is usually organic bananas. If it weren’t so expensive, I would buy a lot more eggs, turkey slices, healthier snacks, cut-up fruits, yogurt pouches and salmon. – R.A.
My grocery shopping usually starts with the specials that are placed in front of the store. – T.R.
I BUY EGGS, POTATOES AND ONIONS FIRST, AND TRY
NOT TO BUY TAKEOUT OR READYMADE FOOD DUE TO THEIR COST. – A READER
The basics come first: bread, eggs and milk. – T.O.
THE FIRST THINGS IN MY CART ARE DEFINITELY THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON SALE, BUT ONLY THOSE THAT I KNOW WILL GET USED, AND DEPENDING ON HOW MY DIET IS TRENDING THAT DAY… I’D TREAT MYSELF TO A SALAD OR SPECIALTY CHEESECAKE IF THEY WOULD BE CHEAPER. – GITTY G.
Magazines and fruits are first. If cheese danishes weren’t so expensive, I would buy it weekly. – A Reader
They make fresh popcorn at the entrance to the local grocery, so that’s the first thing I put into my cart. I would buy more frozen broccoli or frozen strawberries if they were cheaper. – A Reader
Cherry tomatoes and whole-wheat bread go first. All the dark greens like kale, arugula and spinach leaves are expensive, so I usually just turn to romaine lettuce or spring mix when choosing my greens. Occasionally, I treat myself to the pricier ones, because those expensive greens really bring dishes up a notch. – G.F.
I always begin my shopping with my local supermarket’s wonderful fruits and vegetables, which are right where you come in. If cholov Yisroel ice cream would not be so expensive, I would buy a lot of it. However, I am lucky that they always have a couple of varieties of ice cream on sale, so I take advantage of that, and we enjoy whatever is on sale that week. – Chavah
The first thing I put into my cart is coffee yogurt, my daily lunch. – A Reader
The specials displayed in the front of the store are the first things in my cart (yeah, I’m from those people who buy something because it’s on special). I would probably buy more cut-up fruits and cold-pressed juices if they weren’t so pricey. – A Reader
LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES GET LOADED INTO MY CART FIRST. IF THEY’D BE CHEAPER, I WOULD BUY ALL SPELT ITEMS AVAILABLE AS WELL AS FRESH-CUT FRUIT. – A READER
I only sometimes buy the Bamba with hazelnut chocolate inside. If it weren’t that expensive, it would be one of the staples that’s always stocked in my pantry. – Z.W.
THE FIRST THING THAT GOES INTO MY CART ARE BANANAS. THEY’RE NOT EXPENSIVE, SO HEALTHY AND A GREAT QUICK SNACK WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY. WHAT I WOULD BUY IF IT WEREN’T SO EXPENSIVE WOULD BE PRECHOPPED VEGGIES FOR SOUP AND OTHER COOKING. I ALWAYS TAKE A SECOND GLANCE, BUT IT’S JUST NOT WORTH IT IF YOU’RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY. – D.R.
Usually, the first item in my cart is something I find between the specials right at the entrance. There are many things I’d buy if they weren’t so expensive: organic produce, frozen meals, specialty treats for the kids, fish for weekday dinners, better cuts of meat, and the list goes on… – L.K.
MY FIRST THING I PUT INTO MY CART AT THE GROCERY IS CEREAL (BRAN FLAKES). IT’S MY DAILY BREAKFAST. – A READER
USUALLY, I TAKE BANANAS FIRST. I WOULD LOVE TO TREAT MYSELF TO READY SUPPER ONCE A WEEK IF IT WEREN’T SO EXPENSIVE. – HINDY
Whatever’s in the first aisle goes in first. Nova lox is something I would buy in bulk weekly if it were cheaper. – A Reader
The first thing I put into my grocery cart is whole milk. One item I would buy if it weren’t so expensive would be clear plastic plates and cutlery. –M.J.
The first thing that goes in my grocery cart are bananas. If they were less expensive, I’d buy fancy disposable plastics for Shabbos or Yom Tov, and every magazine on the rack. These would definitely add a hefty amount to my bill. A weekly bouquet of roses to grace our Shabbos table would also be lovely. Otherwise, baruch Hashem, I never leave the grocery feeling deprived of an item due to its cost. – A Reader

I usually put my veggies in first. I would buy sourdough challah if it weren’t so expensive. – H.D.
THE FIRST THING I BUY IS A GOOD, SWEET DRINK THAT IS DISPLAYED RIGHT INSIDE AT THE DOOR. I’D GET READY FISH/SALAD FOR LUNCH IF IT WEREN’T SO EXPENSIVE. – A READER
The first items to go into my cart are the things in the first aisle, for practical purposes… I would love to buy individual ice creams in the summer and nice ready-made soups in the winter, but they are costly. – R.A.
The first thing I do when walking into the grocery is grab some great discount items that I’d wouldn’t buy otherwise. – A Reader

PARSHAS NOACH
Get It Yourself!
Y. Levenstein
After commanding Noach to build the teivah, Hakadosh Baruch Hu tells Noach that pairs of each bird, animal and creeping thing “yavo’u eilecha l’hachayos” — shall come to you to preserve alive. The pasuk continues, “And you, take for yourself of every food that is eaten… and it shall be for you and them to eat” ( Bereishis 6:20–21).
Rashi points out that the animals came on their own to the teivah, without Noach needing to go out to look for them and bring them in. Why didn’t Hashem repeat the same miracle for the food? Why, when it came to the food, was it necessary for Noach to go through the trouble of bringing it to the teivah himself?
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, zt”l, claimed, “There’s no food in the house!” they weren’t referring to a loaded pantry and full fridge that happened not to have the particular snack they were in the mood of. There was, in fact, no food in the house. Not even a slice of black bread.
But Rav Yosef Chaim was content. His only worry was his wife’s angst. He could handle going hungry, but he couldn’t watch his wife suffer. And so, he davened, “Ribbono Shel Olam! I don’t want to accept any gifts from man, and I don’t want to feed my family off another Yid’s loss. Yet I can’t bear to see my wife in pain! Please, help plant in her heart the middah of bitachon so she should not be pained by the lack of food…”
Indeed, Rav Yosef Chaim’s tefillah came to fruition. His wife accepted her lot and never complained about their difficult financial situation.
Until that day. The cries of her hungry children were just impossible to ignore. The rebbetzin’s heart
was filled with pain for her children, and on the spur of the moment, she knocked on a neighbor’s door and asked if she could borrow some bread.
The neighbor willingly shared a loaf. But the rare request piqued the neighbor’s husband’s curiosity, and he decided to follow what would happen on the other side of the thin wall.
Rav Yosef Chaim came home and sat down to eat. Several moments later, the neighbor heard the rebbetzin explain, “The neighbor lent me the bread I just served. You see, the children were so terribly hungry, and I simply could not bear watching them anymore!”
Rav Yosef Chaim trembled. In his life, he had never accepted anything from anyone — not even in the form of a loan!
He quickly finished a kezayis — just enough so he could recite Birchas Hamazon — and stood up. “I never felt the need to invest in extra hishtadlus for parnassah,” he said. “But now that I see the rebbetzin is not on the same page, I must go out and do my hishtadlus.” Rav Yosef Chaim donned his suit and went out to do his part.
Having overheard the exchange, the curious neighbor decided to follow the rav through the city alleyways. When he passed through the gate near Misgav Ladach hospital, the rav bent down and lifted something from the ground. From a distance, the neighbor discerned that it was not one, but two, napoleons. Each gold napoleon was enough to support the rav’s family for quite a while!
At that very moment, Rav Yosef Chaim noticed that someone was watching him. Calmly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, Rav Yosef Chaim said, “Nu… I did my hishtadlus,
Rav Yosef Chaim trembled. In his life, he had never accepted anything from anyone — not even in the form of a loan!
It was not one, but two, napoleons. Each gold napoleon was enough to support the rav’s family for a while!
and baruch Hashem, I now have parnassah. I can go back home.”
When it comes to parnassah, Hakadosh Baruch Hu provides for us. Sustenance comes from Him only, and not through any person, channel, or effort. But with the cheit of Adam Harishon, Hashem decreed that mankind must perform hishtadlus. A person must do his part in order to fulfill the klalah of “b’zei’as apecha tochel lechem.” But the hishtadlus is just a facade. You are just going through the motions with no real result. Once one does hishtadlus, the food comes by way of miracle.
* * * * *
With Noach, this was true as well. Everything involved in the teivah was an open miracle. Before the Mabul, the gentiles wished to break it, yet it remained whole; the animals came on their own; and the teivah — all of 300 amos — was able to hold an entire menagerie of every animal and insect in the world.
Yet when it came to food, Hashem wanted to show Noach — here, in order to receive the miracle, you’ll need to do hishtadlus
Indeed, after Noach did his hishtadlus of bringing in the food, Hashem filled in the rest. As the Vilna Gaon says, Noach did not need to gather food for the various diets of every single animal and man for the entire year. Noach just brought enough for one meal for himself, his family, and each of the animals. Then Hashem made sure that this food was enough to last the year.
The miracle happened regardless, but the means to get to the miracle was through the requirement of hishtadlus that Noach had to undertake in order to be mekayem “b’zei’as apecha tochel lechem.”

VOTING: A RIGHT AND A DUTY
CHAYA KOHN
As we approach the upcoming election, our community faces a critical moment—a moment that will determine if we continue to be represented by a leader who has consistently stood up for us, or lose to a radical, out-of-touch liberal candidate. This isn’t just any election; it’s about defending our values, securing our children’s future, ensuring that our needs are understood and met, and making sure our community continues to thrive.
Therefore, voting in this election isn’t just a right; it’s a responsibility and an obligation to cast your vote for a Congressman Like Never Before—Congressman Mike Lawler.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS ELECTION IS THREEFOLD:
For the past:
We must show incredible appreciation to a congressman who has proven time and again that he is deeply committed to supporting our community and fighting for our needs. Mike Lawler has always been a steadfast advocate, standing up for us in Congress, even when it wasn’t easy.
For the future:
We have the obligation to ensure that our children can attend schools that reflect our values. School choice is a defining issue for our community, and Mike Lawler has fought tirelessly to ensure that parents—not bureaucrats—determine the best educational path for their children. With his continued leadership, we can protect our right to make these critical decisions for the next generation.
For Klal Yisroel:
Mike Lawler is not only a congressman for his district but also a true champion for the needs of Klal Yisroel. His advocacy extends beyond his constituency, ensuring that Jewish communities nationwide feel represented and protected. His unwavering fight against antisemitism has made him a crucial ally in today’s political climate.
Mike is Facing Enormous Headwinds
The importance of this election cannot be overstated. Radical liberal forces from across the country—including campaign committees, Super PACs, and powerful unions—have recognized the pivotal nature of this race. They are pouring tens of millions of dollars into our district to attack Mike Lawler. Why? Because Mike has stood strong in defense of parental rights, particularly in education. He believes, as we do, that parents should have the final say in how their children are educated. His opponent, however, is an extreme radical liberal who has consistently voted for farleft legislation that directly opposes our community’s needs and values.
All eyes are on this race, and we must deliver the results we need. A failure to act on Election Day could mean two years –and perhaps many more – of policies that hurt our community. Let us not suffer the consequences of inaction. Let’s ensure Mike Lawler returns to Congress to continue fighting for our values.
A Community United
Mike Lawler has earned the support of every kehillah, all askanim, and every community leader. Whether you’re Modern Orthodox, Chasidish, Litvish, Yeshivish, or Sefardic, there is no opposition to Mike’s candidacy within our community. Why? Because Mike listens to us and understands the unique challenges we face. From advocating for educational autonomy to securing federal funding for our institutions and combating the rise in antisemitism, Mike Lawler has consistently stood by our side. He’s not just another politician—he’s a true friend of our community and a relentless fighter for our future.
Mike’s commitment to our community has been unwavering. He understands that private schools are the lifeblood of our future, and he has taken a firm stance on making school choice the law of the land. This is a defining issue of our time,
as radical liberals seek to strip away parental control and impose one-size-fits-all educational policies that do not serve our children well.
A Proven Record
Throughout his career, Mike Lawler has consistently delivered for our community. He has fought for funding for our schools, local institutions, and families. He has worked tirelessly to make sure our voices are heard in the halls of Congress, standing up for our interests even when it wasn’t politically expedient to do so. Time and again, Mike has demonstrated true leadership and friendship to our community.
In this race, the stakes could not be higher. We cannot afford to lose a champion like Mike Lawler in Congress. His opponent, a far-left radical backed by unions and the fringe elements of the Democratic Party, has consistently supported policies that would weaken our schools, hurt our families, and compromise the safety and security of our district. This opponent has consistently voted against the values we hold dear and is pushing an agenda that is completely out of touch with our needs.
A Tight Race—Every Vote Counts
Polling data shows that this race is incredibly close. One recent poll had Mike Lawler leading by just 1%, with a margin of
error of 3%. That means every single vote is crucial. If we don’t turn out in record numbers, we risk losing everything we have worked so hard to build.
This is not the time for complacency. Every vote matters, and every voice must be heard. The future of our community is at stake, and we cannot take a single vote for granted.
A Historic Moment— Bringing Out 30,000 Votes
In this election, our community has the opportunity to make history. Never before has there been a more critical time to show up in such overwhelming numbers. We must bring out 30,000 votes from our community in this election to send a clear and resounding message of support for Congressman Mike Lawler.
This number isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. The race is too close for comfort, and every single vote counts. That means that every registered voter in the NY-17 District must get out and vote.
We cannot allow complacency to take hold. This is the moment when we must all do our part. If you are registered to vote, it is your duty to show up and make your voice heard. If every member of our community steps up, we will secure the future we want—not just for ourselves but for our children and all of Klal Yisroel. Each vote adds to the strength of our community, and this time, we need everyone to participate. Let’s make history by turning out the full force of our community to reelect Mike Lawler.
If you’re worried about long lines on Election Day, consider voting early. Early voting is already open, and you can head over to any early voting location to cast your vote today. Don’t wait until the last minute!
A National Moment
This election has national implications as well. With Republicans holding the majority in the House and with a real possibility of regaining control of the Senate, we have a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity to see school choice become the law of the land. President Trump has made this a cornerstone of his campaign, and with Mike Lawler in Congress, we can push forward on this issue that is so critical to the future of our private schools. If school choice becomes law, it will be a game-changer for every parent struggling with private school tuition.
But we will only achieve this if we re-elect Mike Lawler. His opponent has made it clear that he will fight against school choice, against parental rights, and against the values we hold dear. This is why the liberal establishment is targeting this race—they know that Mike Lawler stands in the way of their radical agenda.
A Clear Choice
For the good of our children, for the security of our community, for the strength of our district, and for the future of Klal Yisroel, we must do everything in our power to ensure that Mike Lawler is reelected to Congress.
This election is about more than just party politics—it’s about standing up for what’s right. Mike Lawler has proven that he understands our needs and shares our values. He has consistently delivered for our community, fighting for us every step of the way. We cannot afford to lose him now, especially when the stakes are so high.
What You Can Do
We must all do our part. Make sure every registered member of your household gets to the polls. Spread the word—talk to your neighbors, friends, and family about the importance of this election. Every vote matters, and we need every single one.
Let’s show our appreciation for a Congressman who has fought tirelessly for us, by turning out in record numbers to ensure that Mike Lawler is reelected. He’s been there for us, now it’s time for us to be there for him. Let’s secure our future by reelecting a leader who understands, cares for, and delivers for our community.

Avoid Long Poll Lines; Early Voting Now Open
With this year’s presidential election just days away, area residents are being urged to take advantage of early voting, which will give them an extra six days to cast their ballots.
Early voting opened on October 27 in Rockland County and continues through November 3. County residents can choose from seven different polling locations, no matter where they live, with early voting taking place at Ramapo, Clarkstown, Orangetown and Haverstraw town halls, as well as the Pascack Community Center and Stony Point Kirkbride Hall.
County Legislator Aron Wieder urged Monsey-area residents to vote, whether by taking advantage of the convenience of early voting or by heading to their local polling site on Election Day. Wieder is facing off against incumbent John McGowan and Thomas Sullivan in the race for the 97th District’s Assembly seat.
“Each and every one of us has the ability to shape our government by going to the polls and making our voices heard,” Wieder told The Monsey View. “While voting is important in every election, it is even more critical in this year’s extremely significant presidential election. I urge every registered voter in our community to get out and cast their ballots, either during early voting or on Election Day.”
Polls are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 30, November 1 and November 3, and from 12 noon until 8 p.m. on October 31.
Voters who prefer to cast their ballots on Election Day can head to their assigned polling location as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 9
p.m. on November 5.
Early voting is offered in more than 20 states, with Illinois having kicked off this year’s voting on September 26.
According to the Illinois Board of Elections, more than 3.5 million early ballots were cast during the first 20 days of voting.
Lufthansa Hit With Record $4M Fine for Discriminating Against Jewish Passengers
A May 2022 incident that had Lufthansa employees refusing to allow more than one hundred Kerestir-bound passengers onto a plane will have the airline paying out a record fine, with the United States Department of Transportation confirming that the airline was guilty of discrimination by singling out passengers for punitive measures simply because they were Jewish.
As previously reported in The Monsey View, Lufthansa employees in Frankfurt barred 128 Jewish-looking passengers from boarding their connecting flight to Budapest, with airline personnel saying that the action was being taken because several Jewish travelers had not worn face masks on their flight from JFK to Germany. A viral video that circulated after the incident showed a Lufthansa employee saying, “It was the Jewish people who were the mess, who made the problems,” reported the New York Post
The airline was hit with a major lawsuit alleging that tak-

ing action against passengers simply because they were Jewish was discriminatory.
“Despite many of the passengers not knowing each other nor traveling together, passengers interviewed by the Department of Transportation investigators stated that Lufthansa treated them all as if they were a single group,” explained the DOT in its decision.
Lufthansa was hit with a $4 million fine. The airline has already paid out $2 million to the affected passengers, with another $2 million to be issued in the wake of the decision, which had Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg commenting, “No one should face discrimination when they travel, and today’s action sends a clear message to the airline industry that we are prepared to investigate and take action whenever passengers’ civil rights are violated.”

With Jews comprising the vast majority of the first responders at Spring Hill EMS, Rockland Paramedics and William P. Faist EMS, the answer was an unequivocal “no.”
With only Jews available to treat his injuries, the victim left the scene, his alleged injuries no longer a concern.

A stunning audio recording of an incident in the days before Sukkos raised more than a few eyebrows, with emergency personnel calling in from an accident scene asking if it would be possible to accommodate a patient who refused to be treated by a Jew.
According to reports, the incident took place on October 13 when a man said that he had been hit by a car at the intersection of Old Nyack Turnpike and Caville Drive. Details of the accident seemed sketchy to emergency responders who arrived at the scene, leaving them wondering if the man was making up a story in an effort to collect on the driver’s insurance.
Far from being grateful to the volunteers who came to his aid, the accident “victim” began shouting antisemitic slurs and insisted that he did not want any Jews touching him. As the situation deteriorated, the first responders contacted an ambulance en route to the scene, relaying the patient’s insistence that he only be treated by non-Jews. In audio released of the call, one of the medics at the scene is heard saying, “The patient is requesting that no Jewish providers be on the ambulance. Do
Congressman Mike Lawler announced the projects on October 16. The first will have $5 million allocated to the Town of Ramapo for safety measures to benefit pedestrians, including sidewalks, walking paths, traffic signals and turning lanes. Advocating in Congress for the funding, Lawler explained that Ramapo’s many Jewish residents avoid using vehicular transportation on Shabbos and Yom Tov, making pedestrian safety an urgent matter.
Lawler also secured another $4 million in funding for the Village of New Square, which includes improvements to Route 45, widening local roads and completing pavement projects. In addition to enhancing the flow of traffic in and around New Square, the project will also create sidewalks, an important safety measure in a village where many residents walk extensively to get to various destinations throughout their day.
The Ramapo and New Square projects are just two of fifteen projects that were recently announced. The $32 million effort to invest in infrastructure and public safety in the Hudson Valley also includes $7.1 million in funding to the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, a $5 million transit oriented development plan in Nanuet, a $1.5 million sidewalk improvement project in Orangetown, a $1 million reconstruction project on Suffern’s Memorial Drive, a $800,000 plan to upgrade curbs and sidewalks in West Haverstraw and multiple projects that are planned in Westchester County.
Chase Switching to New Benefits Provider Has Many NYers Losing Primary Rental Car Coverage
New York State residents who have relied on their Chase credit cards to cover the cost of an optional damage waiver when renting a car may have to make other arrangements, with a new benefits provider dropping that perk for many cardholders.
Dans Deals reported that as of October 1, Assurant will be taking over for eClaimsLine as Chase’s benefits provider. While the move will hopefully be a positive one for subscribers, Assurant will provide a lower level of collision coverage to New Yorkers using their Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, United Explorer, United Quest, United Club Infinite, JPMorgan Reserve and JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton cards.
Because of the complexity and many nuances of various Chase credit cards, cardholders are advised to review their most recent benefits guide to better understand how this change affects them on future car rentals.
Judge Blocks State Decision to Move
Rockland Elections to Even Years
It was a big win for Rockland on October 10, with a State Supreme Court judge overturning a recently passed law that rescheduled local elections and limited politicians’ terms, saying that it violated the state constitution.
As previously reported in The Monsey View, New York passed a law in June that shifted local elections from odd- to even-numbered years in multiple counties, with supporters contending that the change would boost voter turnout. Officials in the affected counties, however, felt that the state lacked the authority to make decisions that should rightfully be theirs, with nearly all the legislators who voted for the new law living in areas that were unaffected by the change.
In his 26-page decision, Justice Gerard Neri agreed that the Even Year Election Law would have local elections overshadowed by the more high-profile races, creating lengthy ballots that could result in voter confusion. Neri also explained that smaller local elections cannot compete against larger races for media and voter attention, given their drastically smaller advertising budgets. And with the law only affecting smaller counties, Neri questioned the validity of keeping local elections in odd years in more populated areas.
“Are the urbane voters of New York City less likely to be confused by odd year elections than the rubes living in Upstate and Long Island?” wrote Neri, adding, “The purported state interest does not pass the smell test. Voters participate when they are aware, informed, and believe their vote matters.”
Rockland County Executive Ed Day noted that local governments play a vital role in the everyday lives of its citizens and are most responsive to their needs.
“We have a constitutional right to say how our local officials are chosen, and thanks to this victory, that will continue,” said Day.
Also joining Rockland in the suit were Dutchess, Jefferson, Nassau, Oneida, Onondaga and Rensselaer counties.

Recap: Kaily’s son gets engaged, but her sister Perela cannot make it to the l’chaim.
Kaily’s heels kept getting tangled in the ribbons. Three oversized helium balloons — a green wine bottle, a pink mazel tov square, and a huge diamond ring — with trailing ribbon ate up most of the space in the room.
Just this morning, Leah had gushed, “Levi and I can’t wait to use the basement for the l’chaim! Imagine! Separate entrances for men and women! Levi is so excited about that.” The Czinners had just finished building this house, and they felt like they were living in a mansion, but Brooklynites didn’t know what space looked like. And
they obviously didn’t remember how large engagement balloons were Or maybe she was the oversized one? In this room filled with miniscule Czinners, Kaily towered above most of the guests. The ceilings couldn’t be higher than seven feet, and if she stretched her arms, she could probably dust the spotlights. Her mother’s first comment, when she’d seen the chasan and kallah, had been, “A broom and a shovel.”
“Kaily!” Leah Czinner, now her mechuteniste, walked over to her. “We’re ready to drink l’chaim.”
She linked arms with Kaily and pulled her toward the dining room. Bina and Sruly were standing, beaming,
CHANIE SPIRA
waiting for her.
Levi filled the shot glasses and shared a glance with Leah as they raised their cups.
“Mazel tov, mazel tov!” he announced.
Sruly and Bina sipped and smiled. Levi and Leah sipped and smiled. Kaily drank.
To keep her hands busy, she removed the bracelet from her bag and gently draped it onto Bina’s wrist.
“Wow!” Bina whispered reverently. “It’s gorgeous!”
and strong presence, his ability to make her live in the moment and feel the simcha.
But now her mother’s eyes were heavy, and her fingers trembled as she held the shot glass. She was so tired, though she’d arrived only half an hour ago.
Where was Perele?
For the millionth time, Kaily looked toward the doorway. “Ma? Did you hear anything from Perele?” She placed the shot glass on the nearby window ledge.
“It’s fine, Kaily. She’ll come to the vort.”
IN MONSEY & NEW SQUARE
MONSEY & NEW SQUARE
Kaily’s fingers trembled as she fiddled with the clasp. She wished this would take all night, so at least she’d have something to do.
“Wear it gezunterheit,” she said.
It was a laden bracha. She closed her eyes briefly and silently davened that Sruly and Bina enjoy this bliss until one hundred and twenty. Let both of them find warmth and comfort in their home and fulfill their dreams.
SRULY AND BINA SIPPED AND SMILED. LEVI AND LEAH SIPPED AND SMILED. KAILY DRANK
How many dreams had she had when she’d married Naftali? How had they all withered and died in the five short years of their marriage? How had she gone from a glowing kallah to a floundering wife struggling just to breathe in the face of Naftali’s issues?
But she wouldn’t go there now. She would only think about the happiness of the moment.
Where was her mother?
My only relative at this simcha, and I forgot to bring her to the doorway to drink l’chaim. Guilt flooded her. Still holding the shot glass, she elbowed her way past a gaggle of girls gushing over Bina’s bracelet.
She found her mother sitting on a chair in the other corner.
“Mommy, how’re you holding up?” “Good, good. The kallah is so sweet.”
Kaily nodded. “Baruch Hashem Come, let’s drink a l’chaim.”
It was not like her mother to sit in the corner like this. When Chaim and Yossi got engaged, she’d been right next to Kaily, supporting her throughout the simcha. Tatty had done the same at the men’s side.
Her eyes misted. She missed her father so much. She missed his quiet
But how was it fine? How was it fine that she didn’t know a soul at her own son’s l’chaim? How was it fine to feel like she was in everyone’s way in this tiny room?
Esti, Yiddy’s wife, breezed in close to eleven. “Mazel tov!” She air-kissed Kaily and her mother.
Kaily had never been so glad to see her sister-in-law.
“Thanks for coming!” she said genuinely.
“How are you, shvigger ?” Esti asked without waiting for an answer, and with a cool, “We’re leaving to the country tomorrow! See you at the vort. The kallah is so beautiful,” she disappeared in a cloud of diamonds and perfume.
Why had she told Chaim and Gedalya that they didn’t have to come? That it was a tiny event and they should wait for the vort ? Why had she believed Leah when she said it was literally only for local, immediate family? The place was crammed with Czinners.
She looked around, only to see Levi Czinner calling Leah to the corner to accept a mazel tov from the rav.
Where was Perele? Perele would know how to navigate the crowd, make her feel like the mechuteniste instead of a clumsy woman standing too tall in this low, low basement.

“Kaily?” her mother called from behind her. “I’m not feeling so well. Can we go home?”
She hurried toward her mother, but her heel caught the ribbons again, and she stumbled, narrowly missing a pole.
She held onto the pole to stabilize herself and to keep herself grounded. Her mother wanted to go home, but Sruly was the chasan. She couldn’t leave him. But then again, she couldn’t stay.
“Kaily!” a woman screeched.
“Mira!” Kaily stared at her friend. Mira encircled her in a hug. She patted her shoulder softly.
“Mazel tov! You look gorgeous!”
“Mira! I can’t believe you came!” Kaily’s voice caught. Her simcha was important to someone.
“I was in Brooklyn anyway, and I didn’t want to miss this!”
Kaily looked at her suspiciously. “Brooklyn? Tonight?”
Mira ignored her question. Instead she said brightly, “Oh! I see the kallah!” She pulled Kaily toward Bina.
“Your mother looks exhausted,” Mira whispered. “How is she going home? Maybe I can take her?”
“You’re a lifesaver!” Kaily almost cried with relief. “I was almost going to abandon Sruly to take her home.”
“Chas v’shalom! ” Mira said.
While Kaily got her mother ready to leave, Mira made sure to tell every single guest just how special and talented and fun Kaily is, and how lucky they were to have her as the mechuteniste. Her floral scarf was bright enough to light up the room, and she flitted from person to person with the ease and color of a parakeet.
When her mother was ready, Kaily and Mira walked her to the car and helped her inside.
“Don’t mind the mess.” Mira waved her free hand. With the other hand, she held on to Mrs. Handler as Kaily cleared the front passenger seat.
“Not that I’m nosy or anything, but you?” Kaily moved a pair of heels and an open tube of lipstick to the backseat. Mira in heels was like saying Miami in Antarctica.
Mira laughed airily. “Yup! Midlife crisis. Your mother’s cold. Let’s get settled.”
She didn’t buy it, and she wouldn’t let Mira get away with it.
“Mira, tell me the truth.”
“Ma! Mazel tov! Don’t tell me we missed the party.”
Kaily turned around. Her two sons were there, beaming.
“You came?!” Kaily exclaimed. She looked at Chaim, whose wife had given birth just a few weeks earlier, and at Gedalya, who tutored all evening.
“What? You really thought we would miss this?” Chaim said playfully.
And just like that, the simcha welled up inside of her.
She turned to wave to her mother, only to see Mira cruising down the street.
Oh well, she’d grill her tomorrow.
* * * * *
Roiza Handler breathed deeply. If she walked sideways and dragged her right foot without picking it up between steps, she could make it to the fridge reasonably quickly. She could even put up the breaded eggplant and sauteed vegetables that Sruly loved.
The dicing and breading would be okay. Once she had all the ingredients at the table, she could work sitting down, and put everything straight into the correct pot. Of course, that meant more trips across the kitchen to get the pots, but she could do it.
It would take all morning, and she was tired from last night. But she wanted to make something special for supper to celebrate the Sruly’s simcha Besides, Eli dropped in often to grab a bite, and Kaily would be exhausted from the simcha and work.
She had a crowd to please.
Drag, move, hold the wall, grab the fridge handle. Repeat.
She hadn’t even noticed it becoming a habit, until Kaily had come home early from work last week and seen this strange dance.
“Ma! What’re you doing? When did this happen?” she’d screeched.
She quickly called Roiza’s family doctor — if a one-woman household was still called a family — and consulted with him over the phone.
Hence, tomorrow morning’s appointment with a Dr. Rein in Manhattan.
Roiza took the knife and a pepper and started dicing. See? She could still dice vegetables. She could feed her
daughter and take care of her like she had for so many years.
Her right hand started its own little dance. Tremble, dice, tremble, dice. Repeat. At least Kaily hadn’t noticed this. Yet. She didn’t know if her hands trembled because, well, they trembled, or because she was so scared of seeing a neurologist.
She brought the pots to the table, filled them with the neatly diced vegetables, and at noon, she finally put them on the fire.
Veggies done. If she finished this in another hour, she’d make mashed potatoes as a side and use the cutlets from the freezer as the main.
She managed to get to the fridge and grab the eggplant. It was the most enormous, misshapen excuse for an eggplant — the downside of placing a phone order instead of picking the vegetables herself. The crowd in the grocery was overwhelming, and there wasn’t always enough wall space for her to grip.
It wasn’t so simple to drag herself to the table with this bizarrely shaped vegetable. Her shoulders arched forward and she teetered dangerously. The eggplant fell to the floor, and Roizy bent to pick it up.
She didn’t see the single cube of pepper that must’ve landed on the floor while she diced; her eyes were cloudy like that. Her bad foot neatly slid across the floor. Her body arched forward, and in slow motion, she landed on the floor in a twisted mess of limbs and agony.
SHE DIDN’T KNOW IF HER HANDS TREMBLED BECAUSE, WELL, THEY TREMBLED, OR BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SCARED OF SEEING A NEUROLOGIST
She closed her eyes and concentrated on breathing, in and out, in and out. Riding on waves of pain, she finally identified her right hip as the eye of the storm.
No! Not my hip. Please, Hashem! I’ll go to the doctor tomorrow and take care of my health. Not my hip.
She gently pressed her palm on the spot radiating the most pain and screamed. The pain shooting from her right hip to her thigh and up her body was intolerable.
She needed help. But she’d left the phone on the kitchen table after speaking to Shalom.
If she could only move a few feet, she could shake the table leg, and maybe the phone would fall off. With all her strength, she tried moving. She screamed, and just lay there, her hip throbbing and her body on fire.
She closed her eyes and tried breathing through the pain. Breathing felt good. A relief from the shooting stabs.
She inhaled the scent of… No! The vegetables. How could she have forgotten? Kaily wouldn’t be home from work for another two hours!
The clock moved steadily, and the kitchen slowly filled with the smell of oily peppers and onions.
As Roiza allowed soft cotton balls to take the place of her thoughts, she vaguely smelled the first hint of vegetables burning. TO BE CONTINUED…

Chapter 16
Recap: The Ukranians are liquidating the ghetto. Kayla and Rachel decide they must leave their hiding place.
The night sky was moonless, and even though there was snow on the ground, Rachel and Kayla took off their boots to muffle their steps as they walked.
They darted behind house after house until they came to the edge of the ghetto, heading for the cemetery. Then they put on their boots. Their socks and feet were soaking wet and freezing, but no one had noticed them. That’s what counted. They held hands and walked out of the ghetto and into the cemetery.
Suddenly, a Ukrainian policeman materialized in front of them.
“Stop!” he commanded. “Where are you going?”
“Home,” Rachel replied.
He gave them a look but let them go, and they walked on through the cemetery.
“There’s a non-Jewish woman I know who lives near here,” Rachel told Kayla. “My father used to pay her to help us do our laundry. I know where her house is. She has a daughter my age. Maybe she will have pity on us.”
They arrived at the house and knocked on the door. The
woman immediately recognized Rachel and invited her in, and even started a fire to warm them up.
“It’s very generous of you to keep us,” Rachel said.
“It’s very dangerous for me to keep you,” the woman replied. “And I have barely enough food for myself and my daughter.”
Silence.
“You can stay with us for a while,” the woman told Rachel, “but I can’t keep both of you.”
Kayla looked at Rachel, and then at the woman.
“Where can I go?” Kayla asked.
“There are Jewish partisans in the forest. I can tell you how to find them.”
Kayla succeeded in finding her way to the partisans. Even the best partisans were very violent people. They had to be. And they didn’t tolerate people who could not help, to say nothing of a person who got sick; that would be the end of them. When they asked Kayla what she could do,

she told them she could cook, clean clothes and keep watch. They allowed her to stay.
Maria Roluk listened with horror as her neighbor talked.
“One of the Nazis, I think his name was Wassterheide, organized a kidnapping operation to send Poles to Germany for forced labor. And who was helping him? Jews. Can you believe it? Jews helping Nazis kidnap Poles.”
“Can’t be,” another woman said. “Why would the Nazis let Jews do anything?”

“I don’t know if they’re doing it or not doing it,” Mrs. Roluk chimed in, “but if they are, it’s because they’re forcing the Jews to do it.”
“Why would they do that?”her neighbor asked.
“To make us hate them more. To make us seek revenge.”
“But why?”
“So we inform on the Jews hiding in and around Ludmir.”
The women were quiet.
“How do you know this?” one of them asked.
“I don’t, but it makes sense.”
Another woman added, “It’s true that more Poles are turning in Jews these days. I just heard of a farmer, a Ukrainian, who informed on another farmer who was hiding Jews.”
“What happened?”
“They threw them into a well. That’s where they’re buried.”
“The Jews?”
“Yes.”

“The farmer confessed to the priest. He confessed to the priest because he felt guilty. Now he tells everyone about it and how he is absolved.”
“What happened to the farmer hiding those Jews?”
“The Nazis killed him.” * * * * *
Rachel and Karina had known each other before the war. After Rachel’s mother died, Mr. Blum was forced to hire help around the house. Karina’s mother had been their help, and she helped the Blums with their laundry. Since she often brought Karina with her to the Blum house, she and Rachel got to know each other. The two built a friendship despite the cultural and religious barriers, and despite the fact — or perhaps because of the fact — that the war had taken away both of their childhoods.
One day, Rachel convinced Karina to go for a walk with her. They had already agreed on the alibi: If anyone asked who Rachel was, they would say she was Karina’s niece from
They had already agreed on the alibi: If anyone asked who Rachel was, they would say she was Karina’s niece from a faraway town
a faraway town who was staying in Ludmir while her parents dealt with the difficulties of the war.
It was especially good for Rachel to get out. Perhaps they would be able to find some food.
It was late in the afternoon when they strolled near the ghetto where Rachel had lived. Suddenly, two policemen appeared and approached them. One was German, the other Ukrainian.
“Where are you going?” the Ukrainian asked.
“We’re just walking.”
“Why aren’t you in school?”
“We have no school.”
“What are you doing here?”
“We’re just walking. Then we’re going home.”
The German asked the Ukrainian, “Are they Jews?”
The Ukrainian looked at the girls and translated. “He just asked me if you are Jews.”
Rachel was terrified but tried not to show it.
“Listen,” she told the Ukrainian firmly, “I am just like your sister. If you shoot us, it’s as if you are shooting your sisters.” Then she started to cry.
“Let them go,” the German said to the Ukrainian.
They let them go, but Rachel was suspicious of the Ukrainian. She suspected that he would follow them. She convinced Karina to go home through the Jewish ghetto — the “death ghetto” that she knew so well — and slip into a building that she remembered. There was a tall cabinet against a wall, concealing a curtain. Rachel pulled back the curtain to reveal a small hiding place.
“Let’s hide in here,” Rachel said to Karina.
They crawled into the small space. Not a moment later, there was a noise. Through the cracks in the wall, they
saw that the Ukrainian had followed them. He was inside the building, not far from their hiding spot. With his rifle, he poked around in some debris lying about.
The room had two doors, one in the front and one in the back. He exited through the back, probably assuming that the girls had gone out that way.
They waited and waited and waited. When they were sure the coast was clear, they left and made a beeline for home.
That day, Rachel decided that from then on, she would never go out unless she absolutely had to.
* * * * *
Rachel had been hiding with Karina and her mother for about a month. One day, while Karina and her mother were out, Rachel stayed home, washing clothes. Suddenly, a man appeared at the window and looked in. It was that Ukrainian guard who had stopped her and Karina!
Rachel scampered into the bedroom and hid under the bed, but she knew she had been seen.
When Karina’s mother came home, she found Rachel hiding under the bed.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
Rachel told her about the man who had peeked into the window.
“That one’s a real Jew hater,” she told Rachel. “It is no longer safe to stay here. You can stay tonight, but in the morning, you will have to go.”
“Go? Where?”
“Anywhere. After a week or two of hiding, come back, and I’ll take you in again.”
Rachel was terrified. Where could she go? How would she survive?

It’s Sunday afternoon — and a rainy one at that.
All the kids are home, and some neighbors have joined the fun.
Interestingly, it’s Sunday, the day after a late Motzei Shabbos following a weekend with lots of guests, that knocks me out.
Remnants from Shabbos are all over the house. The havdalah set is on the dining
FRAIDA WEINER
room table, and so is the candelabra. One sink still has plenty of dirty dishes. Breakfast remains litter the kitchen surfaces. All the activities that have been keeping the little ones busy since too-early o’clock are scattered about. More toys come out. Pieces of cut paper rain on the floor. And as the mess piles ever higher, and as the noise level rises along with it, the room starts to spin.
I need to get this place in order before I lose my grip on it entirely, but I feel frozen and overwhelmed and dizzy, and all I wish is to escape the chaos and have a few little elves turn the disaster into order.
But even more than I am crippled by the mess, I am crippled by the internal voice chastising me. I’m so full of shame.
I left dishes in the sink overnight. Surely, no self-respecting housewife does that.
The Shabbos tablecloth is still on the table and the silver is still out, whereas in most homes, the linens are neatly folded in the closet, the silver polished and stored away. Industrious balabustas are starting to see the bottom of the hamper, while pajamas and Shabbos laundry are still strewn across the hallway.
I’m so, so tired. I feel beaten.
THE SHAME OF STRUGGLING
There are women out there who excel at housekeeping; their homes are spic and span. They are a step ahead of the clutter and the laundry. The mess monster doesn’t pounce on them every time they close their eyes to “just relax for a few minutes,” only to get rudely brought back to reality by the honking of the bus.
There are women out there who are energetic and have endless winds of energy to put their homes in order multiple times a day. They clean as they go and no mess stays unattended for long. Clutter doesn’t pile up in their homes.
There are women out there who are excellent at delegating duties, whether it’s cleaning help that deals with a chunk of the work, a spouse who is available to share the responsibilities, or an able teenager who is great at pitching in.
There are also women out there to whom housekeeping doesn’t come easily or naturally. There are women who struggle to keep up with the constant demands running a home, cooking, cleaning, laundering, and then cooking
again entails. There are also women who are adept housewives, but find themselves in a situation of overwhelm: too many demands, too little energy; too much work, too little time.
Those who fall into that category usually beat themselves up about it. They feel like failures. They feel ashamed that their homes are not always in the best shape. They hope they will never be discovered.
As a society, it’s clear that we tend to align our values with the state of our homes.
NOT A MORAL ISSUE
KC Davis struggled with juggling her parenting and housekeeping duties after her first baby was born. When her second child came around, she decided to do it differently. She hired cleaning help. She planned for meal-cooking help and for her mother to stay with them and help her out as she was adjusting
laundry, the work she wasn’t getting to, the dishes that were piling up.
This experience led her to spend time looking into the phenomenon that is called housekeeping. Her goal was discovering why some people struggle while others don’t, and developing systems that are helpful for anyone whose house is a force they cannot reckon with.
But most importantly, her first idea addressed the shame associated with housekeeping: Not having a perfectly kept home is not a moral failure
The level of cleanliness in your house is not a reflection of your worthiness as a person.
Unfolded laundry doesn’t make you any less of a good person, and a home that isn’t in tip-top shape doesn’t make you a lazy person.
Maybe you’re just wired differently than those who ace their housework. Maybe your strengths lie in other areas. Maybe you just have a lot on your plate. Maybe you are simply shouldering a lot of work alone. Maybe you are dealing with a crisis.
THE LEVEL OF CLEANLINESS IN YOUR HOUSE IS NOT A REFLECTION OF YOUR WORTHINESS AS A PERSON
to parenting two children.
But then Covid hijacked the world, and all of her plans fell apart. She was left home alone, in quarantine, for hours on end with two demanding tiny children, while her husband worked long hours to support their family.
She was working herself to the bone taking care of everyone’s needs, and she could just not keep up with the work in the house. She was in a constant state of overwhelm and exhaustion, but even more devastating was the shame (what is wrong with me?) and the blame she got when she tried to share her struggles with others.
Lazy, is what people called her, turning their noses up when they heard about the state of her
As long as we see the state of our homes as a reflection of our personal value, those who have a harder time keeping up with the demands of work that is never quite done approach their housework with a sense of guilt. We beat ourselves up to get going. And you know what else? Whatever we do is never enough.
WHAT WORKS FOR ME?
And so, on this Sunday afternoon, I stop the tirade in my brain and tell myself, “This is not a moral issue. A messy house is not a reflection of laziness on my part, nor of anything else bad about me.”
It’s my house. It’s not me.
THE FIVE- (OR SIX-) THING RULE
An interesting thing happens when we realize that.
We get to switch from guilting ourselves into cleaning up and feeling wrong no matter what we accomplish, to realizing this: We want our space to serve us. We want it to be a space where we can function. We want our systems and our homes to work for us.
It’s not about having that magazine-worthy house where everything looks perfect. It’s about doing the work in our house in a way that will provide ease in our days, general peace of mind, and the allowance to take the shortcuts when we need to, because we only have that much energy.
Sitting and taking in the mess on that Sunday, I acknowledge that this is just about me and my life. Not about how I’m ruining my kids by not providing them a perfectly orderly home to grow up in. Not about what the neighbors would say or how horrified my sister-inlaw would be to walk in on this scene.
It’s about wanting my space to work for myself and my family.
And since the clutter isn’t serving me and I am feeling overwhelmed, I want to do something to tackle the mess.
This idea results in a huge paradigm shift.
I clean my home and do my housework, not because a clean and orderly house means that I am a success. No, I take care of my house in a way that works for me, that helps me function in a way that works with my energy level and my resources, and that works with my strengths as well as my weaknesses.
Surveying a mess and not knowing what to do with it is more common than many of us want to think. If you’re anything like me, you might start to pick up a random object in one room, go to another room to put it away, get stuck in that room, and then find yourself 30 minutes later (if you lasted that long) having transferred items from place to place without making a dent on the state of your home.
If you can categorize the mess, everything becomes more manageable and systematic. Every mess is made up of just five types of things, says Davis, and once we see it that way, dealing with it becomes quite a bit more doable. (And yes, sometimes even that can be too much!)
Back to my Sunday afternoon mess, I survey a disaster of items strewn about, but really it can be categorized in five:
(For myself, I add a sixth category: perishable food.) This list is effective because it not only breaks a huge mess into doable steps, but because it also lists the items to tackle in order of importance. Therefore, if you have
“IF YOU REALLY CareD ABOUT ME, YOU WOULD...”

a limited amount of time or a limited amount of energy, tackling just one or two categories gets you somewhere. It leads you toward more function for that day, or for that period of time.
You start with trash, probably the easiest thing to eliminate from the area you’re cleaning, and also the most important. Take a garbage bag, and fill it up with everything that belongs there. Take it out.
Next, food. Put away all perishable food, leftovers and ingredients. (I placed this as second on the list.)
Dishes. Collect all dirty dishes, and put them in the sink. Don’t wash them now.
Collect all items that have a place, and put them in one spot. Don’t put them away yet.
Collect all items that
When dealing with items that have a place, I always deal with the toys first, because that’s a category that there’s a lot of, all over, and I can easily get them all out of sight and into the toy area.
don’t have a place, and put them in another spot. Don’t worry about them now.
The mess is now under control. The surfaces are clear. Sweep the floor, and now you can function in the space.
Obviously, the work isn’t done. You may want to wash the dishes. Or you might want to rinse them today because you’re falling on your nose from exhaustion and wash them tomorrow. You might want to load the dishwasher, if you have one.
If you’re up to completing the job, you may want to take all the items that have a place and go from room to room and put them away.
If you’re feeling ambitious, you might want to think about the items that don’t have a place. Do you need them? Do you want to create a place for them? Do you want to just designate a specific area for the items that have no homes?
You may not be up to making it through this list. If you took care of the trash and the dishes (and the food), your area is now sanitary. Sometimes, in the throes of juggling so many roles and tasks, this might be all you can do. And it’s okay. Sometimes it’s more important to get some sleep.
IF YOU’RE FEELING AMBITIOUS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE ITEMS THAT DON’T HAVE
A PLACE. DO YOU NEED THEM? DO YOU WANT TO CREATE A PLACE FOR THEM? DO YOU WANT TO
JUST DESIGNATE A SPECIFIC AREA FOR THE ITEMS THAT HAVE NO HOMES?
THOUGHT-CHANGERS FOR OVERWHELMING TIMES
The majority of us are perfectionists. However, we can’t afford to be perfectionists all the time. Here are some mindset shifts that really help differentiate perfectionistic self-talk from function.
I have mountains of unwashed laundry. It’s a disgrace! Does everyone have clean clothing for tomorrow?
My home looks so cluttered and messy. Is this space functioning for me and my family?
My home must be immaculate before I go to sleep. What must be done for me to have a functional morning?
I haven’t cooked a meal all week. Is my family getting fed with well-balanced nutrition?
I feel like we live in a sty. Is the space germ-free and hygienic? (Clorox wipes, disposable toilet wands, and paper towels were created for this purpose.)
Which normal home has laundry on the playroom floor? Maybe it’s a good idea to keep a hamper in the living area.
FOCUSING ON FUNCTION
Sometimes you need to choose where to use your energy and where to trim ends.
It may mean loading dirty dishes into a dishwasher full of clean dishes and running the cycle again.
It may mean only washing the bottles you will need for the baby and leaving everything else for tomorrow.
It may mean leaving unfolded laundry in each child’s room for their taking.
It may mean putting all the clothing in the dryer.
It may mean having fewer clothes per kid for less clutter.
It may mean having more clothes per kid so laundry doesn’t have to be done that often.
Because the truth is that nobody can do it all.
Some people have been blessed with a lot of energy.
Some people have excellent housekeeping skills.
Some people are creative.
Some people are great listeners.
Some people are fun and flexible parents.
Some people are relaxed and calm and parent that way.
Some people are excellent housekeepers, in fact, yet choose to prioritize different things.
Not excelling at housekeeping is not a moral failure.
WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO
Remember Mary Kondo? The one who gave housewives so much pressure to live with less and be perfectly tidy and clean? The tidiness guru actually wrote those ideas before she had a family. Then she had children, and she was asked if she implements her methods and whether she still keeps her home perfectly tidy.
She said, “I have kind of given up on that, in a good way for me. Now I realize that what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home.”

CHANA GLUCK
Being a balabusta can be a tough job, with no off-days and many an enemy in every dusty corner. That’s why every balabusta needs that ally in her corner, that friend to team up with and say, “We got this!”
Every housewife has her secrets. A beloved broom. A trusted mop. A Swiffer sworn to secrecy on how the house can be pulled together in so short a time. I set out to uncover them by asking women this highly personal question: Who’s your best friend when you keep house?
CHAYA, A DYNAMIC STAY-AT-HOME MOTHER OF MANY, LOVES HER TIMER.
I have a timer on my wrist. It’s rosecolored and looks like a regular watch, except that I can’t imagine life without it. I’ve been using it since I was a teenager, and it simply gets me through my day. It has a side button that you press once for one minute, twice for three minutes, and so on for five, ten, fifteen, twenty and thirty minutes.
I use it to remind my kids about things, to time turns for sharing, time the last ten minutes until bedtime, remind me about tasks in the middle of doing other tasks, and to remember random things that pop into my head. Taking care of the baby and need to make a phone call? I’ll set the timer for three minutes. Told someone I’ll call them back in ten minutes? I’ll hang up the phone and set the timer.
The only issue is that sometimes I’ll forget what I set the timer for…
MIRIAM, OUTRAGEOUSLY CREATIVE WORK-FROM-HOME MOTHER , CAN’T IMAGINE MANAGING WITHOUT HER TINECO WET DRY VAC.
When I first got my Tineco, I was ob sessed with it. I found things to do with it all day. Then it started acting up: deciding the dirty water tank was full when it wasn’t, or vice versa, insist ing the water tank was empty when it was full. Each issue called for its own troubleshooting, but the company was extremely helpful.
Still, I love the thing. It is an everpresent extra pair of hands, and if it weren’t so temperamental, it would be too good to be true. My mother calls hers her cleaning lady.
RELLY, THE BEST NEIGHBOR A WOMAN COULD ASK FOR ADORES BOTH HER IRONING MAT AND ROBO VAC.
It’s a toss-up between the two! Both of these make life so much easier.
My robo vac takes work to get properly operational, but my husband does that. The machine itself needs to be cleaned often and he takes care of that as well. I change the shmattes weekly. But with my robo, my floors are clean 90% of the time. I don’t even have to wash my floors after Shabbos! Of course, they’re not as clean as I myself could get them, but I don’t mind, because it really makes a difference in the overall maintenance of my house.
My ironing mat is on the large side; it’s bigger than a shirt. I’ll use it on a bed or counter, and when I’m done, roll my iron and Niagara into it, and stow the whole thing in the laundry room. I iron shirts buttoned. Today I ironed five shirts in five minutes!

My house isn’t clean if I don’t use it. Some people can’t stand the smell of bleach, but for me, inhaling it (I know…) is a sign that my house is getting clean and sparkling, be it bathrooms, floors or counters. And let’s not talk about the amounts I use on Erev Pesach!

It’s personal, there to remind me that the lady of the house deserves to have her jewelry cleaned, too. The entire spiel is a little can of cleaning solution with a little basket inside to put my jewelry into. I let it sit a few minutes, rinse, pat dry and voila — sparkling pieces to wear l’kavod Shabbos!
CHANA SURY, MOM OF LITTLE ONES WHO DREAMS ABOUT A CLEAN HOUSE, WOULD LOVE A SELF-CLEANING BROOM.
Can I talk about a cleaning gadget on my wish-list? My mother-in-law has a selfcleaning broom that I’m gaga over. It has a deep, walled dustpan with a set of teeth that you park the broom in once you’re done using it. When you take the broom out again, its bristles run through the teeth and get cleaned automatically. On the question of why I’m not dreaming of a robo vac, you obviously don’t know my kids and how much long hairs my pre-1A princess sheds. The only solution is to sweep multiple times a day, and I plan to do it in style.

My magic sponge is my frequent rescuer. I use it on my walls (use with caution on walls; it doesn’t agree with all paint types), doors, foodcoloring or marker stains on my table, and even on the white soles of my kids’ summer shoes. It did a gorgeous job on a stainless-steel fridge that I thought I’d never get clean again, and it does wonders on my counters and cabinets.
Obviously, we’re all on the quest to get our work done, and fast.
And now let me tell you about my own bestie: It’s short and stout, made of glass, has a handle for me to hold on to so I can get a handle on my affairs, and I am downright Low Batt without it. It is my coffee mug.

The hardest part of interviewing women who work full time (besides feeling totally inadequate) is finding a time when they can talk. During the day they’re working. Right after work, they’re busy with their families. During the evening, after the homework-bath-bed routine is finally over, they’re outracing the laundry monster and getting the house ready for another busy day.
These mothers manage kids and households and Shabbos cooking all while spending the bulk of their waking weekday hours at work. Do they have some secret superpower? A magic potion? An extra six hours in the day?
How do these women actually make it work?
Chaya Leah Lamm
works in an office Monday through Friday and has a houseful of children all under the age of 10.
Malky Klein
is the logistics manager for an import company and is out of the house from Monday through Friday. Her children range in age from infant to lower elementary.
MORNING ROUTINE
Esther Segal
is a business owner with a home office that keeps her occupied full time, all week. She has tots and teens and in betweens.
Getting all children dressed, fed, packed and shepherded out the door and onto their respective buses on time is not for the faint of heart. Between missing shoes, unexpected tantrums and forgotten homework, every morning has its fair share of adventure and no small amount of miracles. How does a mother juggle getting all of her children out when she needs to be ready to go too?
“My schedule this year is great,” Chaya Leah tells me, “because all of my children except for the youngest one is out the door before I need to leave the house.”
Nevertheless, her husband is there in the morning to wait for the children’s buses and to do carpool and drop-offs.
“Nobody can do everything,” Chaya Leah says.
Esther has her morning routine down to a science.
“From when my children are old enough to tell time, it’s their responsibility to make their bus, not mine,” she says.
Each child is equipped with their personal alarm clock that’s set to their preferred wake-up time. Esther also created a morning chart for each kid listing everything that needs to happen from wake-up until they leave the house, including making their bed and putting away their pajamas. This way, instead of badgering and reminding children to brush their teeth and pack their snack, all she has to ask is, “Did you finish your list?”
Malky’s older children are out early enough that she still has some morning left before she needs to leave.
“Once I come inside from the buses, it’s a marathon. I get myself and my baby ready, pack up some food for the day, make all the beds, and fly out the door. Making beds is non-negotiable for me. If I walk into my house after a full day of work and the beds are not made, my day is doomed.”
Esther aims to wake up before her children so that she has time to daven before they might need help making their peyos or buttoning their shirts. However, if for whatever reason she did not have a restful night, she’ll daven at any time before she starts her work day. Her children are mostly self-sufficient in the mornings, and if a younger child does need assistance and she’s unavailable, they’ll know to ask an older sibling for a helping hand.
WHAT’S COOKING?
The primary issue with supper is that it has to be served every — single — night. Preferably, it should contain foods that classify as (somewhat) nutritious and will be eaten by at least a majority of the family members. How do women who are out of the house all day put a hot meal on the table in the evening?
Chaya Leah explains that supper is “the hardest part of working full time.” First she makes sure that her house is stocked with groceries at all times. (Now I understand why every time I call her, she’s in the store.)
“There are no three-course dinners in our home. I make simple, easy food, like cutlets with rice or pasta, or anything that comes together quickly right when I get home.”
The challenge is that she has just a tiny window of time to give her little ones attention before she starts cooking.
Malky says that she makes something quick and easy every day, usually cutlets since they’re quick to cook through and there are so many ways to prepare them. On Thursdays, when she bakes chicken bottoms for supper and for Shabbos, she’ll try to put it in the oven in the morning on a timer. That way she returns to a welcoming, comforting smell when she walks through the door.
ON VACATION… NOT
Esther’s motto is, “The longer it takes to prepare, the fewer eaters I will have.” She uses the Betty Crocker often. Since her office is located in her house, she has the flexibility of putting up a soup or sides during her lunch break.
It’s never easy having the kids home from school, especially during the longer breaks that can hit two weeks (real feel, two years). How do mothers manage when their kids are home, but they’re at work?
Chaya Leah says that kids’ vacation days are extremely challenging. Between camp and school, she’ll send her children to an “in-between camp” in her neighborhood. The office where she’s employed pays for these camps as a perk, to help make it work for mothers of young children. On other days, such as Erev Yom Tov or on Chanukah vacation, the kids will either be entertained by Tatty, or, on rare occasions, she’ll bring some of her kids to work with her for the day, which brings its own set of challenges right along with it.
Malky will often send her children to one of her sisters for the day as an extended play-date when they are off from school. Sometimes she takes her kids along with her to work. Several times, she’s taken along a slightly older cousin to help entertain her younger children so that she could actually work. Her office has a conference room that the children can use, which makes this arrangement doable for her.
When Esther’s older children were young, vacation days were a huge hassle. At that point, she was still working out of the house.
“I don’t like to have my children parked in other people’s houses for too long,” Esther explains. “So either I would have them play at a friend or relative’s house, but not for more than three to four hours, or I would try to find friends to come over to my house. My husband would be home to supervise, and with company, they would entertain themselves pretty well.”
Now, since she works at home and she has teenagers who can supervise their younger siblings, vacation days are no longer an issue.
“If anything, it’s a bonus to be working on those days. When things get too noisy or rowdy, I can escape to my office. Everyone knows not to bother me there!”
ON HELP AND CUTTING CORNERS
A balabusta is judged by the quality of her cleaning help. — Hungarian proverb
What supports do working women rely on, and what corners do they cut, to enable them to spend so much time at work?
Every day, when Chaya Leah walks in after a full day of work with several kids in tow, her cleaning lady follows her inside. This way, she can make supper and tend to the kids without having to worry about messes and dishes and unfolded laundry.
“Also, I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without my husband’s help,” Chaya Leah adds. He fills in on days when their kids are sick, takes them to the dentist, and does carpool in the morning. That’s the only way she can physically be at work.
Chaya Leah admits that she had to let a lot of her perfectionist standards go. “I can’t have a perfectly immaculate home and be a calm mother. I learned to be okay with a house that isn’t spic and span. I can no longer claim that I never leave dishes in the sink. I choose to be calm instead.”
Malky utilizes a lot of disposables to accommodate her hectic lifestyle.
“I use a ton of disposable pans. I even mix stuff in them instead of using bowls. I also use Ziploc bags to toss cutlets or mix batter. During Covid, I stopped using real dishes and switched to disposables for everything. I never went back.”
Malky also saves lots of time by placing phone orders for dry goods and other basics. She prefers doing her grocery shopping in person, but will resort to phone orders when necessary.
Esther hires cleaning help to do the bulk of her family’s laundry, and her teenagers help with the rest.
“I’m not superhuman,” she keeps reminding me.
She says that since she’s occupied so many hours in her day, her husband’s schedule ends up revolving a lot around hers. He takes the kids to their appointments and brings his chavrusa home if a child is sick. All of this makes her work schedule possible for her family.
Something that Esther needed to sacrifice for her work schedule is her social life. It’s not feasible to spend this many hours a week busy with work while still maintaining relationships with others out of her immediate family.
COOKING FOR SHABBOS
Creating mouthwatering multi-course meals in honor of Shabbos is no easy feat — yet Yiddishe mammas do it every week. We could all use some hints and shortcuts, and who to ask if not a busy mother?
Chaya Leah works from home on Friday, and that’s a gamechanger for her. If she’s baking challah that week, she’ll be up at the crack of dawn to make the dough so that by 9:30, it’s already rising and needs minimal attention from her. She’ll cook soup in bulk and freeze it so that she doesn’t have to make a fresh pot every week, and the rest she’ll squeeze in on her busy Friday.
Malky says that her Thursday afternoons are super hectic because that’s when she does the bulk of her Shabbos cooking.
“It’s a cooking marathon from when I come home from work,” she says.
But having the cleaning lady right afterward really makes things easier. Friday morning she’ll put up her cholent so that by the time she comes home in the afternoon, her cooking is done.
Esther will not sacrifice her weekly challah baking for anything.
“It’s one of our three special mitzvos. I’ll give up other things, but not my challos.”
Friday morning, before starting her workday, she’ll post a paper on the fridge that says, “I Need Help.” Beneath that, she’ll list the different jobs that need to happen before Shabbos, such as making kugel or farfel, unloading the dishwasher, or other odds and ends. When a child does anything on the checklist, she’ll sign her name.
“These are not jobs,” Esther clarifies. “They’re my children’s way of helping me.”
Talking to these three incredible women gave me lots of food for thought and practical tips. I didn’t discover any magic potion or secret superpower that would change my life, just three women’s commitment to their responsibilities and dedication to their families — despite the many hours they spend away from them. This, apparently, is the secret formula to making it work.

The Interior of Design A space-planning adventure
In design — in any area of life, really — sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it right. That’s what it was like for me when I launched my career. Growing up, I was always aware of colors and lighting, details and the big picture, and how things come together to complement each other and create an experience. So it made sense that I was drawn to a field that utilized those strengths. I started out in graphic design, but I was better at managing the projects than designing the graphics. Then, after dabbling in a construction-based project, I figured out where I wanted to go next: interior design.
The leap was a big one, but I never looked back. Managing projects while using my knowledge of design was an amalgamation of my two greatest strengths, and the result has been a thrilling ride.
At some point along the way, I was fortunate enough to found my own design firm. At GLI Designers, we employ a team of dedicated designers who share my vision. Over the next four weeks, we’ll be sharing some experiences we’ve had and customers we’ve encountered along our design journey. They’re stories of success and of seamless cooperation, because where you find one, you’ll be sure to find the other.
CHAPTER 1 OF 4
Nine Days to Fabulous
Picture this: A restaurant with great food, but a space that’s just meh.
That’s where designers come in, and that was the Peppercrust challenge. Their dining room was tired and needed a facelift to turn it into a showcase for their signature dishes. And we had just nine days to do it.
No pressure, right?
The owners of Peppercrust were a little desperate. They needed the revamp, but they couldn’t close their business to do it. So they wanted the entire project completed during their annual summer closure for the Nine Days. This meant that we had just over a week to turn a place with the atmosphere of a high school lunch room into something worthy of a five-star review.
“We need a private corner for every guest,” they said, “but we want to maximize the space so we can seat as many people as possible. And while we have great food, we need a space that shows people we’re more than just what’s on the plate.”
The first time I walked into Peppercrust, I saw what they meant. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good, either. Bland lighting, uninspired walls, and seating that kind of whispered
Booths taking shape
please don’t stay long. The vibe didn’t say “delicious night out” or “birthday celebration.” It screamed “quick pit stop” — the kind of place you go to because your original plans fell through.
Challenge accepted.
THE PLAN
In the months that followed, we focused on two big things: the entrance and the seating. The entrance — well, it wasn’t much of one. It was more like walking straight into a room without any drama. So we built a wine display and curtain wall to give the place a proper “hello.” This added just the right touch of elegance, plus a bit of an “ooh, fancy wine” vibe.
Then we worked on the seating problem: privacy for the guests while still seating as many as possible. We designed plush, cozy booths that felt like mini sanctuaries. Rich colors, soft lighting, and the perfect amount of “this is my space, but I still want to feel the restaurant’s buzz” all came together to create that perfect dinner setting.
As for the main dining room, we went with custom dividers that weren’t only practical, they were flexible. They could be moved around depending on the night’s crowd. Small gathering? No problem. Big party? Open it up! The dividers could do it all and still look good.
Still, we’d have to actually renovate in just nine days. I knew we could only do it if we planned every details in advance. We brought in a talented contractor with a reputation for keeping things on track, along with a masterful trimmer and furniture manufacturer who totally understood our vision. They pre-manufactured everything in their shops, so when it was time for installation, all the pieces were ready to slide into place like a perfectly choreographed dance.
Framing the bar area
Design Dilemma
Q: I’m thinking about building an addition to my home, but I want it to feel cohesive with the existing space. How can we make that happen?
A: When building an addition to your house, don’t be afraid to think of it as an upgrade. This is your chance to give your home a facelift!
Instead of feeling constrained by the size and shape of existing windows or other features, embrace the opportunity to create something fresh and exciting. Consider larger windows to bring in more light, or unique architectural details that can add character. Even if you choose not to update your original home, your addition can enhance the overall aesthetic of your space, making it feel more cohesive and modern while still respecting the original structure. So go ahead, and be bold with your design choices!
SHOWTIME
On day one, we kicked off the project with a whirlwind of demolition, which included tearing out the old bar and removing any clutter that was in the way. A day later, we dove into the beginnings of electrical work as well as some structural framing, which would be supporting the new wine display and focal point of the new entrance. As the framework took shape, we added a unique grill structure to the ceiling, which would soon be ready to cradle the lush greenery we envisioned hanging later on.
The crews were like a well-oiled machine, working tirelessly, day and night, in a mad rush to finish everything in time for the reopening.
Shabbos gave us all a chance to catch our collective breath, but by Sunday we were right back at it. This was the third day of work, and trimmers were working on the
walls, replacing the dull wood panels with a beautiful bespoke design that completely transformed the space. They also began working on the bar, the focal wall shelving behind the bar, as well as the framing for the banquettestyle seating areas, all of which took us into day four.
On day five, the actual banquette benches arrived – a beautiful, rich velvet. These were installed, and the remaining framing work was completed. On day six, we covered all raw framing and patched up whatever walls were damaged during the construction process.
Day seven found us installing all the lighting and light fixtures, and otherwise getting the place ready for showtime.
Our team stayed deeply involved in the ongoing construction, with one hand on the pulse of progress and the other ready to tackle any questions or hiccups that arose. Our mission was clear: Support the construction process and avoid delays at all costs.
THE REST OF THE STORY
Once the Nine Days were up, Peppercrust was unrecognizable — in all the best ways. The remodeled entrance made guests feel special before they even sat down, and the spindle-style seating dividers gave everyone their own cozy corner while still keeping the room lively.
We didn’t just renovate a restaurant; we gave it a personality. And yes, we did it in just over a week.
Design isn’t just about making things pretty; it’s about solving problems and creating spaces that reflect both style and purpose. Peppercrust finally became the restaurant it was always meant to be, with a space that matched the quality of its food and invited guests to stay and savor the experience.
The nine-day challenge has a sequel. Peppercrust was so thrilled by what we accomplished that they asked us to design an exclusive private space where guests could book events and business meetings. And we did… and got it all done during their nine-day closure the following year.
I’M SORRY ABOUT YOUR SON. BUT IT’S TIME TO MAKE PEACE WITH THE TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE FOR ME.
HOWEVER…
I MUST GO NOW. IT’S TIME TO RETURN TO MY FAMILY!
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HOUSE? WHY DIDN’T THEY REBUILD IT?!
WE WERE SURE YOU WERE KILLED IN THE POGROM! WHERE WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME?!
IT’S A LONG STORY. BARUCH HASHEM, I WAS SAVED. BUT… WHERE’S MY FAMILY?
WHAT?! THEY MOVED TO ARGENTINA?! HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO GET THERE?!
ALEX… I’M SORRY. YOU’RE NOT ALEX.
OH, ZUSHA… THEY LEFT TO…
ZUSHA?! YOU’RE ALIVE?!
RECAP: A POGROM DEVASTATES THE SMALL JEWISH TOWN OF VALIORCA. ONE YEAR LATER, ZUSHA — WHO HAD BEEN SAVED BY A LOCAL NON-JEWISH VILLAGER — SUDDENLY RECALLS HIS TRUE IDENTITY.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE VOSSER, A SHIP FROM RUSSIA, DOCKS AT THE PORT IN BUENOS AIRES. JEWISH IMMIGRANTS DISEMBARK.
EVER SINCE ZUSHA’S DEATH, MISHA TOOK ON THE ROLE OF “BIG BROTHER.”
GRANDFATHER! COME HERE! LOOK, THEY’RE GETTING OFF THE SHIP!
THEY’RE HERE!
MICHAEL, IF YOU KEEP JUMPING AROUND LIKE THAT YOU’LL FALL INTO THE WATER!
MISHA STARTED ACTING LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO MICHAEL AND MATISYAHU, TOO.
GRANDFATHER! GRANDFATHER!
CAREFUL!!!
WHO… WHAT? WHAT DID…
OH, MY. THANK YOU, MISHA. I WAS SO ENGROSSED IN THIS DIARY THAT I DIDN’T SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT IT SAYS HERE…
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE CONTRACT’S BEEN CANCELED?!
