by kosher skinny shot
Zalmy Landau, Williamsburg, NY | Started Kosher Skinny Shots: July 2024 | Lost: 86 pounds
"Ah Kalmy, what's doing? So good to meet you here!
You don't recognize me, huh? Don't feel bad. I lost so much weight my own cousins don't recognize me...
Yep. Kosher Skinny Shots. I mean their service and support? Out of this world. They help with e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Even when I decided to stay on the shots longer to reach my goals, they supported me every step of the way. Nu, enough about me. Let's dance! Bar Yochai..."

HEAD FIRST
(Re: At the Scene, Issue 497) Thank you for printing the article about helmet safety. Last summer, my husband came home one afternoon very shaken up. He had seen a kid, probably around twelve years old, riding a bike very fast. Suddenly, the tire grazed the curb and threw the bike off balance. The kid went flying forward, directly into a lamppost. His head hit the lamppost full on, and he fell to the ground. Miraculously, he stood up, a little stunned and shaky, but otherwise okay. His helmet, however, was cracked clean in half. If he hadn’t been wearing a helmet… it would have been his head. A Reader

(Re: At the Scene, Issue 497) I really appreciated the article quoting Hatzolah members about the dangers of bikes and the importance of wearing helmets. Just yesterday, I heard the loud honk of a bus in front of my house. I opened the door and found a bus with no driver. Then I noticed the heimishe driver near the bus, where he’d stopped to give a talking-to to a little boy on a Segway (without a helmet). I closed the door, shaken. I know that little boy, and there’d obviously been a near-miss. One of the Hatzolah members put it well: So many nissim happen every day, but we shouldn’t rely on nissim to keep our children safe. May Hashem keep us safe, today and always. N.M.

KOSHER MOTRIN, KOSHER READING
(Re: Give or Take, Issue 496) Thank you so much for your incredible publication. You provide quality, kosher reading material week after week, and we thoroughly enjoy it. I was surprised and disappointed to see a seemingly innocent comment in your beautiful fiction serial, Give or Take. In the story, the character believes that “heimish brand Motrin didn’t work half as well as the non-heimish brand.” Aside from the fact that, in my experience, this is absolutely not true, I believe this comment may border on lashon hara (motzi shem ra), as it could negatively impact this kosher manufacturer. Comments such as these plant silent poison in the minds of readers, subconsciously impacting future decisions. The makers of the heimish brand of ibuprofen (Motrin) get tremendous credit and deserve our immense hakaras hatov for investing so much time, money and resources to ensure we have a product that is both l’chatchilah in terms of kashrus and very effective in keeping our kinderlach comfortable when they’re unwell. Maligning their product is really not right. Additionally, since the message seeps in subconsciously, consumers may find themselves opting for the non-heimish brand, which may be a more bedi’eved choice. What a pity!

PIZZA PERFECT
FREE
(Re: Pining for Pizza, Issue 496) Thank you so much for an entertaining weekly read. I always look forward to Wednesday, when each new issue comes out! When I saw the recipe for the spinach pizza this week, I had to try it. I made it for melaveh malka, and it was divine! I divided the dough into more than three balls because we like a thin crust. I also made one-and-a-half times the spinach mixture so I’d have enough to cover all pieces of dough. Finally, I put in less salt than the recipe called for because it sounded like a lot. Keep recipes like this coming — easy, with a new twist, and just plain good! R.P.

HOPE FOR PARKINSON’S PATIENTS
(Re: Give and Take, Issue 495) I want to inform people suffering from Parkinson’s of a supplement that can help relieve symptoms. It’s called Neuralli. It’s a probiotic that targets the gut and releases dopamine to the brain, thus replacing what Parkinson’s kills. Interested parties may call me for more information. You can reach me through The Monsey View. (I don’t sell this product; I’m just trying to help my fellow Yidden.) Mrs. B.

(Re: POV, Issue 495) I want to thank everyone who sent in tips on baking challah. As a busy mother of little kids, I especially benefited from the idea of cutting your dough into six strips while leaving them connected at one end, instead of rolling out each piece separately. Another useful and effective trick was to put the challah in the oven on 170° for 45 minutes instead of letting it rise. C. Levi

YOUR SAY STREET SMARTS
Last week, I was in my car and approaching the busy intersection of Maple Avenue and Main Street. The light was green, and three young girls on scooters crossed the intersection into oncoming traffic. The crosswalk light was red for them. I was able to stop in time, baruch Hashem, but it was close. The girls actually did look both ways — but then simply proceeded into oncoming traffic. Parents, please teach your children how to cross the street safely. In addition, there are unfortunately many distracted drivers nowadays. It’s imperative that children be taught how to safely cross the street. On the same note, children also sometimes run across driveways behind cars that are backing out. I have also seen five-year-olds playing games in the street, on weekdays, unsupervised. Those are only a few examples of dangerous incidents I’ve witnessed. Children don’t know how to navigate traffic safely unless they are taught. What may seem obvious to us is not obvious to them. Please make sure your children know how to stay safe. May Hashem protect all of our children. Your Neighbor

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO LAG BA’OMER DESTINATION? A bonfire that a cheder lights at the corner of my block. It is kosher entertainment for myself and my kids. They love to watch the singing and dancing around the fire. Yiddishkeit is fun!
Our family’s annual Lag Ba’omer destination is the local shul, where there’s a big hadlakah with music and a choir.
Our destination is the local fire at the neighborhood shul. My kids are just fine with that.
I’ve been taking my family to Monroe the past three years, where the Satmar Rebbe, shlit”a, makes a big hadlakah. Seeing so many Yidden of so many types get together and dance in such a Yiddishe way is the most gorgeous and inspirational sight. It is a pure kiddush Hashem.
A special Lag Ba’omer destination would be the Monroe hadlakah where thousands of people gather to sing and dance while the Rebbe lights the fire.
At Rabi Shimon bar Yochai’s kever in Meron, of course! It’s from the most heilige places in the world. It’s like Simchas Torah outside the mareh and Yom Kippur inside the mareh. Beautiful, heilig and uplifting!
I like to go to Galante Rebbe’s Lag Ba’omer bonfire because of the heimishkeit and warmth that I feel there. The men dance with tremendous simcha and thanks to Hashem; the spirit is truly in the air. The fire is located in Williamsburg in front of the Galante bais midrash.

The Monsey View
My family’s favorite spot to visit on Lag Ba’omer would be my parents’ porch. They live in a corner house next to where the community fire is held, and we have an amazing birds’ eye view.
The barber and a chasunah.
As per my husband’s minhag, we don’t celebrate by going to bonfires. We try to do something special that day like getting the kids a treat. May 14, 2025

The bonfires, of course. There is something special and heartwarming about these fires and the men dancing around them in honor of Rabi Shimon bar Yochai and the Torah! Another destination is the music player in the house.

PARSHAS EMOR
Counting With One Goal, One Soul
Y. Levenstein
In this week’s parsha, we receive the mitzvah of counting the omer. “ U’sefartem
lachem m’macharas haShabbos” ( Vayikra 23:15). Our countdown to Shavuos is a preparation for Matan Torah. We are given this time to work on our middos, with each night of sefirah representing another middah. The chachamim also established that Pirkei Avos — which is full of guidance on how to perfect one’s character — be studied on these Shabbosos, between Pesach and Shavuos. “ Derech eretz kadmah l’Torah” — first we must improve our bein adam l’chaveiro and middos, and only then are we worthy of receiving the Torah.
WITH ANOTHER HOUR to his flight, Berel entered a gift shop, thinking he might find a nice souvenir to bring back home. As he made his way between the aisles, his carry-on hit a shelf. Boom! The sound of shattered glass filled the silence. He looked down to see a glass ashtray, beautiful and whole just moments before, now in shards. One of the salespeople rushed over and began removing the broken pieces. At that moment, the store manager appeared. Seeing Berel, with his obviously Jewish appearance, he grew angry. “What broke?” he demanded. Then he turned to his employee. “Don’t pick it up! The person who dropped it should clean up the mess.” As Berel bent down to pick up the pieces, he heard the manager instruct the worker to check how much the ashtray was selling for. “This man may not leave the shop until he pays for it. In cash!” he said.
A non-Jewish shopper who witnessed the incident was very disturbed. “Is this the way you treat a customer? These things happen sometimes. This is no way to act!” “You’re talking nonsense!” the manager retorted, allowing his true colors to show. “All the money in the world is found by the Jews. What can you do? This is what the Jews are all about.” Berel paled in the face of such blatant antisemitism. He pulled out his wallet and began counting out the cost of the ashtray. One, two, three… He wasn’t traveling with much cash on him. He was short $7. “Here,” he said, stretching out his hand with the money. “This is all I have on me now. Please accept it, along with my apologies. But I need to get going… I have a flight to catch.” The manager wouldn’t agree. “No! Don’t tell me any stories! You can’t leave until you pay it up in full.” Just then, another Yid walked into the store. He noticed the commotion and asked what happened. Then and there, he pulled out the full amount and handed it to the manager. “Take this, and let’s go make our flights.” Berel paled in the face of such blatant What a kiddush Hashem! All at once, everyone present understood just who Am Yisroel is, and antisemitism. He pulled out his wallet and what Yidden are all about. began counting out the cost of the ashtray Two strangers who have never met before,

“Here,” the man replied, stretching out his Visa. “Swipe as much as you need” and likely will never meet again, joined as one. We are all one! And as one united body, the assistance and support we give one another never stops. * * * * *
Mr. Stein pulled up to the gas station and filled up his tank. But when he stuck his hand inside his pocket to pull out his wallet, he found that his pocket was empty. He had left his office for this short trip in such a rush that he accidentally left his wallet on his desk. How would he pay? Just then, he noticed a Jewish car pull up. As the driver refueled, Mr. Stein ran over and shared his predicament. “Would you mind laying out the money for me? I’ll bring you the money this afternoon.” “Here,” the man replied, stretching out his Visa. “Swipe as much as you need, and no need to pay me back. I want to do this chesed all the way.” Mr. Stein was overwhelmed by the kindness. “But I do want to pay. Tell me, what’s your name?” The two spoke for another minute or two, and the benefactor shared that he’s a carpet installer by profession. “Business is slow,” he admitted. “There’s lots of competition and not much work.” “Hey!” Mr. Stein replied. “Maybe I can offer you a contract.” Mr. Stein was in the process of renovating a complete building, and he needed the services of a carpet installer. He handed him a business card. “Let’s be in touch.” This is the hallmark of Klal Yisroel. Yidden do not need to know each other to lend a hand. They may be two strangers, yet they are two parts of one soul. We care for each other like we care for ourselves.

With Republicans in Congress aiming to draft a mega budget bill, discussion and debate are heating up around the projected cuts. In order to fund defense spending and cut taxes, Congress has proposed reducing the Medicaid budget by up to $715 billion over the next decade. Changing the Medicaid eligibility rules, introducing a requirement to work, or limiting services available could affect the lives of millions, including the hundreds of thousands of Rockland County residents who rely on Medicaid for their healthcare. Although Congress has already voted to authorize budget cuts, they have not yet officially designated Medicaid as the source for the cuts. Policy proposals are being written right now, in May, and could be voted into law before the end of the month, sending ripples across the United States and affecting this most basic and essential provision of all—medical care. From prenatal care to senior home health care, Medicaid is a lifeline, not a luxury. Cutting back will create hardship and lack for those who need care the most. To preempt these possible changes, Saveourmedicaid has launched a campaign to reach out to our elected representatives who can speak up in Congress and protect our much-needed healthcare programs. With a strong Republican congressman, Mike Lawler, who is a genuine friend of the community, Rockland County is uniquely wellplaced to make a crucial difference to the impact of the budget bill on Medicaid.
“It’s true that we’re not facing specific, drastic cuts right now. But everything related to Medicaid is now up for debate, in order to cut back on spending. Once Congress votes on changes, who knows how far they’ll go? Cutting the budget could go in any direction. Dental care, mental health services, or even vision and eye care could become ineligible for coverage. Why should we wait to lobby desperately then, fighting an expensive battle against damaging legislation? It’s better to throw our weight behind this effort now, to ask Congressman Lawler to use his powerful voice and stand against any cuts to Medicaid. Our community has great ties with Mike Lawler, and he has proven himself as a friend in Congress. Obviously as a congressman, he is inundated with work and many issues land on his desk—doing our part means making sure he is aware of how vital Medicaid is to us.”
“My husband is learning, so if Congress decides to introduce a requirement to work, we won’t be eligible for Medicaid. Any cuts would be likely to affect our family in some way, because we rely on Medicaid for our health and our kids’ needs, from dental appointments to therapies. The monthly cost of health insurance would throw us into a sea of debt. So when I saw the Saveourmedicaid ads, I did my hishtadlus. It wasn’t a big deal. I simply went on the SaveourMedicaid.org site, used the template and wrote my name and details. If enough people add their voices, I’m sure our friend Congressman Lawler will understand the importance of the issue to us. It literally affects a huge proportion of his voters on a daily basis.”
—Duvi Weiss, Airmont
—Mrs. Nechama B., Kaiser Village
—Chayale Wachs, Monsey
“When I hear about possible cuts to Medicaid, I feel anxious and almost nauseous. The cost-of-living crisis has hit our family hard enough. On every trip to the grocery, we’re faced with price increases on basic items, and I have to think twice before putting things into my cart. If Congress cuts Medicaid, our family finances will become an enormous struggle. I can’t imagine having to think twice before taking my toddler to the doctor.”
“We don’t know exactly how this could affect the elderly. I know from my own father and my work with seniors how healthcare becomes one of the most important puzzle pieces in their lives. They need the security of comprehensive coverage and competent care, without carrying the financial burden of insurance. Anyone who cares about the elderly and vulnerable in our community should add their voice, loud and clear. For the sake of our seniors, we have to try and protect Medicaid from cutbacks and changes.” —Chaim P., Monsey

“Large families will suffer the most. Medicaid is not just any government program, it’s what they rely on to lead healthy and dignified lives, to get their children pediatric care and throat cultures. Someone sent me a link with an explanation of what Congress is now debating and how we can make our voices heard to protect Medicaid, and I sent an email to the congressman right away. Then I forwarded the link to whoever I could think of. It’s kind of like a Charidy campaign, but you don’t have to donate any money in order to help these people financially. You can just ask Washington not to pull the rug from under their feet. Our congressman will take notice.”
“Like most people in Monsey, I was excited when I voted for Mike Lawler. We were driven and conscientious about getting out that vote, because we know he’s a true friend. Now that we know we have a listening ear in Congress, we have the opportunity to explain our community’s needs to someone who’s truly listening and happy to help Rockland residents.”

Wherever I look, I see people living beautiful, successful, well-ordered lives. My neighbors all dress their children in adorable, matching clothing, and they keep sparkling, clean homes. My friends are successful in their fields of work, and their children behave beautifully. But my house is always messy, and my kids don’t always look just so. I try my best, but I can never get it perfect. What am I doing wrong? — Chana

Dear Chana,
Sometimes we fall into the trap of using comparisons as a tool. We compare ourselves to others, trying to figure out what we can do to be more like them. But in reality, trying to determine where you stand by comparing yourself to everyone else is not useful in the least, only hurtful. At the cornerstone of meaningful change is self-acceptance. Self-acceptance means acknowledging that you are worthy, that you are foundationally good. Accepting yourself as you are is a reminder you were created in Hashem’s image, and that all of your “parts” are helpful: the parts of you that bring you joy, the parts that help you survive challenges, and the parts that help you grow. Only when you embrace
who you are, and accept who you are, can you begin the journey of self-improvement. When you fully accept yourself, you can begin to live an authentic life. When you’re no longer consumed by the need to be “perfect” or measure up to the people around you, you can focus on aligning your actions with your beliefs and values. There isn’t one standard thing that you need to do or achieve that will make you feel worthy (like your kids behaving well or a house looking perfect). Worthiness is innate within you. The word authenticity comes from the Latin word author. When you’re authentic, you’re the author of your own life. You stop chasing impossible goals or someone else’s standards, and you get to write your own story instead — a story
WHEN YOU’RE AUTHENTIC, YOU’RE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR OWN LIFE. YOU STOP CHASING IMPOSSIBLE GOALS OR SOMEONE ELSE’S STANDARDS, AND YOU GET TO WRITE YOUR OWN STORY INSTEAD 190

in which you have the freedom to choose your priorities, goals and your own personal values. Living authentically requires courage — the courage to really look at yourself and remain committed to living the life you were given. Think about the last time you were driving on a highway. The cars drive parallel to each other, with everyone in their own lane. When drivers forget to focus on their own lane and veer into the next lane, accidents happen. When you compare yourself to others, you’re stepping out of your lane and forgetting about your own journey. The greatest gift we can give ourselves is remaining authentically committed to our own lane, which will lead us each to our own personal success. Accepting yourself doesn’t mean telling yourself that you’re perfect; on the contrary, you recognize that you aren’t perfect, but were never meant to be perfect. Accepting yourself allows you to reflect on your inborn worthiness and personal strengths, and accept that you’re doing the best you can. When you compare the cleanliness of your home, or your children’s wardrobes, to that of your neighbor, friend or cousin, you’re being distracted from yourself. Focus on accepting yourself, and lean into your own inner wisdom. See how your strengths and values are guiding you to live authentically, creating choices that you are proud of. In an era where we are constantly bombarded with messages that we are not enough, a shift toward self-acceptance will help you grow into your best self. When you remain committed to writing your own story, filled with your own personal trials and tribulations, you can evolve into the person you were meant to become all along. Toby R.

dress rocking the otherwise quiet neighborhood. After learning about the issues, Congressman Mike Lawler escalated communal concerns to local and state law enforcement, which led to a significant drug bust at the site, finally bringing an end to the ongoing criminal activity. Following the demolition, a new project is scheduled to be built on the property. “For years we didn’t feel safe living here,” said one Twin Avenue resident. “There were thefts, criminal activity, strange cars at all hours and dangerous dogs. We were trapped in our own homes. Seeing 80 Twin Avenue finally torn down feels like a dark cloud has lifted.”
Latest State Budget Heralds Good News for Yeshivas
Making Waves on Monsey Streets Keen-eyed Monseyites on the road may have noticed enthusiastic readers of The Monsey View celebrating the magazine’s tenth anniversary with car flags. Those cheery flags waving merrily in the breeze made passersby take notice, and perhaps wish the car owners well in the upcoming drawing. “The winning car will win a helicopter ride over Monsey for their entire family,” said a contact at The Monsey View. “After all, what better reward than to get a ‘view’ of Monsey?”
Notorious No More: 80 Twin Slated for Demolition Spring Valley residents are heaving a sigh of relief now that a house that had been a hotbed of crime has been slated for demolition. The last remaining resident of 80 Twin Avenue moved out on May 8, with all utilities shut off in preparation for the house being destroyed in its entirety. The address of 80 Twin Avenue is a familiar one to local law enforcement, with calls coming in constantly regarding criminal activity, drug dealing, harassment, theft, violence and stray dogs. Residents of the Elm Street and Twin Avenue area have lived for years with fear and anxiety, with continuous disturbances at the ad198

New York State’s latest budget will hopefully bring welcome news to the yeshiva community, dialing back some substantial equivalency standards that would have likely resulted in an unknown number of schools losing their government funding. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie spearheaded the effort to incorporate a bill into the budget, softening statemandated educational guidelines that would have made subjects taught in public schools mandatory in yeshivas as well. Instead, the legislation will extend the deadline for schools to phase in certain criteria until the 2032–2033 academic year. It will also take a step back on some educational benchmarks that yeshivas would be required to meet, and will tweak proficiency standards to include a variety of standardized tests to assess the quality of the nonpublic school education. Budget talks often incorporate non-financial matters, and

with New York City mayoral elections just six months away, and a gubernatorial race looming in 2026, the changes to educational standards are intended to draw the Jewish vote. Not surprisingly, the New York State Education Department was less than thrilled with the proposed changes. “We remain deeply concerned that the fundamental right to a high-quality education for every child could be compromised as part of political bargaining,” said NYSED spokesman J.P. O’Hare. “Given that implementing the substantial equivalency law carries no fiscal impact, it is troubling that such a critical issue might be decided through the budget process rather than through transparent, public debate. This is not policymaking. This is interference.” The bill is the result of hard work by multiple legislators, including Assembly members Sam Berger, Simcha Eichenstein, Aron Wieder and Kalman Yeger; Senators Zellnor Myrie, Julia Salazar and James Skoufis; and Congressman Pat Ryan. Addressing his colleagues in Albany, Wieder expressed his support for the changes, calling the push for substantialequivalency “the greatest hoax in the State of New York,” noting that the same chasidic institutions that are being threatened continually produce “successful, civically engaged citizens” while receiving the bare minimum of state funding. “This budget is a step forward toward respecting parental rights and protecting educational freedom,” said Wieder.
Busted! Amazon Driver Caught Stealing Newly Delivered Package Home security cameras have once again proven their worth, with a New Square resident discovering that a missing Amazon package had been stolen by the team who had just delivered it. The incident took place on May 2 on Buchanan Road, when a local resident received a notification that a pricey item ordered from Amazon had just arrived. The notification was accompanied by a message showing the item, which had been brought inside the resident’s building. But when the resident

went to retrieve the package, it was nowhere to be found. After reviewing their security footage, the resident saw the same two Amazon employees who had dropped the package off walking outside with the box, placing it in the back of their white minivan and driving away. With online buying becoming increasingly popular, consumers are advised to be on the alert for incoming purchases. Those having trouble with missing Amazon packages are urged to contact the company to report any problems.
Delays and Cancellations Rock Newark, Frustrate Travelers If you’re thinking about flying in or out of Newark Liberty Airport in the near future, you might want to reconsider those plans. Hundreds of Newark flights were cancelled or delayed in recent days in the wake of three separate outages in just under two weeks that had air traffic controllers briefly losing all contact with flights in and out of Newark. Those outages prompted complete ground stops at one of the country’s biggest airports, leaving passengers frustrated, and in some cases, stranded. The first outage occurred on April 28, with the 90-second blackout triggering a tidal wave of delays and cancellations in the days that followed. The incident was a devastating blow to the airport, which was already short one runway because of construction, and had been continually struggling to manage its scheduled arrivals and departures because of a flight controller shortage. But with five air traffic controllers taking trauma leave after the blackout, a move that may keep them off the job for as long as 45 days, the situation escalated rapidly. Over 300 flights in and out of Newark were delayed on May 5 alone, with more than 150 cancelled, and one day later, this writer experienced a nearly four-hour-long delay on a Newark-bound flight. It seemed as if things were improving on May 7 when the FAA released a statement outlining changes to ease the problem, which included updating the technology that relays information to Newark’s air traffic controllers, and assigning nearly two dozen air traffic controllers that are in the training pipeline to Newark operations. United, which has its east coast hub located in Newark, has cut 35 roundtrip Newark flights from its daily schedule in an effort to lessen the impact of the ongoing issues. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has reportedly described the air traffic control facility in Philadelphia that manages Newark’s airspace as chronically understaffed. “It’s now clear… that Newark Airport cannot handle the number of planes that are scheduled to operate there in the weeks and months ahead,” said Kirby. As previously reported in The Monsey View, the air traffic controller shortage has been significantly impacting flights

nationwide. Noting that there are currently 3,000 vacant air traffic controller positions in the country, United States Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has said that plans are in place to attract more people to the high-stress position, which involves years of intensive training. Brief blackouts on May 9 and 11 made it clear that the problems at Newark are far from over. Aviation experts are warning travelers to expect plenty of delays this summer, and that until the country’s air traffic control system undergoes much-needed upgrades, the problems will likely occur at other airports as well. But at least for now, Newark appears to be ground zero, with one air traffic controller telling an MSNBC reporter, “Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.”
Once Again, Lufthansa Harasses Jewish Travelers Less than a year after paying out a record fine for discriminating against visibly Jewish flyers on their way home from a yahrtzeit visit to Kerestir, Lufthansa is in the spotlight once again, with five chasidic men saying that airline employees displayed antisemitic behavior during a stopover in Prague. Dan’s Deals reported that the five men went to Hungary to mark Reb Shayale’s 100th yahrtzeit, which fell on Thursday, May 1. After spending Shabbos in Eretz Yisroel, the men were booked on a Sunday Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, where they were scheduled to fly back to New York on United. Those plans unraveled after a Houthi missile scored a hit on Ben Gurion Airport, prompting Lufthansa to cancel their flight. Instead, the travelers booked a flight to Prague, with a connecting Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. But things quickly went awry in Prague, where the five chasidic flyers were all singled out for “special” treatment, despite the fact that all were traveling separately. Lufthansa agents reportedly called passengers Mayer Tauber and Herman Deutsch to the podium, asking them if they would be willing to sit in an exit row. When both men agreed, they were told they would have to check their carry-on bags because they were oversized. Attempts by the men to demonstrate that their luggage did indeed fit into the airline luggage sizer didn’t end well, with the Lufthansa employee saying the bag needed to fit inside the device completely, without touching any part of the sizer. Requests by the two travelers to remove their tefillin from their carry-ons were also problematic. Tauber was initially told that he couldn’t carry his tefillin on board because the fanny pack he was wearing counted as his personal item, but he successfully argued that he was entitled to both a carry-on and a personal item and was allowed to keep his tefillin. Deutsch didn’t fare as well; he was informed that he couldn’t take anything out of his bag, and that he would be subject to an additional fee if he didn’t check his bag immediately. 202

Next, the Lufthansa agent told three other chasidic men in the gate area to place their bags in the sizer as well, with the same restriction about their bags touching the sides of the device. Two of the men were forced to check their bags, and were warned that if they attempted to remove anything from their carry-ons, they would be removed from the flight. The Lufthansa gate agent threatened to ban one Jewish traveler from the flight after they asked why other passengers were allowed to take larger carry-on bags onto the plane, and airline employees also insisted that all pictures taken of them by one of the Jewish flyers be deleted immediately. While the Jewish passengers were told that their checked carry-on bags were tagged to Newark and would be shifted from their Lufthansa flight to the next leg of their journey on United, not a single one of those bags made it to their final destination, and as of this writing, the men had yet to be reunited with their tefillin. Ironically, Tauber was part of a group that met with Lufthansa’s head of corporate communications in 2022, with the airline promising to provide sensitivity training after the first incident, which had the airline barring over 125 visibly Jewish passengers from a Budapest-bound flight.
End of an Era as Sheraton Crossroads Imploded It was a familiar sight for drivers traveling on Route 17 and Route 287: a 25-story glass hotel that rose majestically against the mountains. But the Sheraton Crossroads lives on now only in the history books. The hotel was taken down in a controlled implosion on the morning of May 10. Onlookers heard more than a dozen loud booms and then saw the property collapse into a heap of debris as smoke rose up from the site. Echoes of the 250-foot building crashing to the ground were heard as far away as Montebello, Airmont and Monsey. Sheraton Crossroads opened for business in October 1987. Located in Mahwah near the Rockland County border, the property had office space on floors two through twelve, and

hotel rooms on floors fourteen to twenty-five. It was the site of multiple yeshiva dinners and simchas but struggled to draw tenants, and the Sheraton closed its doors for good in December 2023. It is unclear at this time what might go up next on the 140acre site. The Mahwah Township Council approved a plan to increase the maximum building square footage on the property from 1.7 million to 4 million square feet, but no development plans have been filed yet for the site.
New Owner Planning Big Changes at Nanuet Shopping Center Luxury housing, a 1.25-mile long walking trail, community festivals, and free event space for local nonprofits are all in the plans at Nanuet Town Centre, formerly known as The Shoppes at Nanuet. The ten-year-old retail complex has struggled to find its niche, with Spring Valley resident Gavriel Alexander acquiring the property for $60 million in late 2024, reported Rockland Business Journal. Nanuet Town Centre’s marketing director Keri Cunningham said that the mall is undergoing a full rebrand, one that will transform it into “a vibrant lifestyle destination” that will include more than just a retail experience. Karako Suits and Golf Lounge 18 are the first new tenants to be joining Nanuet Town Centre, with plans in place to woo tenants with “strong regional and national footprints.” Events that are already scheduled include a late June grand reopening block party, a multi-day summer festival, a weekly summer picnic series with family-friendly entertainment, and a September puppy acrobatic show. The complex will also provide zero-cost space for nonprofits for events, awareness campaigns and fundraisers. Upgrades are already underway at Nanuet Town Centre, with new signs, directories, seating, lighting and landscaping being installed. How many housing units could be built at the site at this time is unclear, and variances are needed to build apartments on what is currently zoned as a commercial site. 204

New York State Attorney General Letitia James threw her weight behind the discrimination case against the Sullivan County Town of Forestburgh last week, saying that she supported the United States Attorney’s Office’s involvement in the case. The May 5 letter was written by James to Jay Clayton, interim U.S. attorney for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. In the letter, James noted that the case demonstrates the need for strong enforcement of the federal Fair Housing Act, as well as other anti-discrimination statutes, critical laws that protect American citizens from being subjected to “discriminatory governmental conduct.” As previously reported in The Monsey View, Forestburgh was slapped with a lawsuit alleging that the town used zoning laws to prevent the construction of a large housing development being built for chasidic Jews. Forestburgh’s denial of land-use applications because developers of the parcel, and its likely purchasers, were all Orthodox Jews, is “profoundly disturbing,” observed James. The United States Department of Justice issued a Statement of Interest in March supporting the developers of the 2,627home Lost Lake Resort, saying that town officials had placed multiple impediments in their path in an attempt to shut the project down. One chair of the planning board reportedly sent an email urging colleagues not to be concerned about the “Hasidic threat,” saying, “We’re energized and have the cash to fight and make their lives miserable.” Another email categorized chasidic Jews as nasty people who mistreat their children, and charged that allowing the development to continue could lead to Forestburgh’s “destruction.” “The allegations in this case are not isolated,” observed James in her letter. “They reflect a broader pattern of discriminatory practices that have been observed in various communities across the nation. These actions undermine the fundamental principles of equality and fairness that are enshrined in our laws and create the fabric of our diverse society.” James commended the U.S. Attorney’s Office for its interest in the lawsuit, and its strong support of civil rights. “Your engagement in this matter sends a powerful message that no individual in our community is above the law — and no community is beyond its protection,” wrote James, volunteering to partner with federal authorities in the matter. “Together, we must affirm the principle that government decisions must be based on law and evidence — not bias, fear or bigotry,” added James.

he garishly striped duffel bag and the Louis Vuitton clamshell case both weighed in between 49 and 50 pounds. But that’s where their similarities ended. “Don’t tell me you got that suitcase in China,” Perela said. She watched the Air China agent tag her own bag and load it onto the conveyor belt. Then he did the same to Tziri’s bag. In Perela’s opinion, it was a disgrace to have the two side by side. “Because that’s the first thing on my list — even before we tour a single factory. We’re going to find the exact same thing for me.” And I’m leaving that bag in the hotel garbage can — where it belongs. “What makes you think so?” Tziri asked. “I bought this a couple of years ago. You know, they have this really nice store in the Garden State Mall? Best purchase ever. I bought the carry-on there, too!” “Isn’t that, like, at least five thousand dollars?” Perela blurted. She wanted to kick herself as she watched Tziri’s eyes narrow sympathetically. She’d never cared for these things before. In fact, she’d even had this little sense of pride and elitism about her battered duffel bag — I’m above things like this. Another thing she’d always prided herself on was her ability to read people. But with Tziri, she never knew where she stood. Like, who was Tziri? The devoted mother who cancelled her trip to host a kiddush, or the mother who firmly believed that kids should be raised by babysitters?

Tziri confirmed her guess. “Yeah. The black ones are in the 5K range. But the cost practically pays for itself. I travel a lot, and it’s my go-to.” Well, everyone’s entitled to a go-to, Perela thought cynically. I have chocolate, Tziri has her suitcase. They headed to security, pulling their carry-ons behind them. Where was the relief she’d expected to feel? How many nights had she spent imaging exactly this scene — the sound of her footsteps echoing sharply as she strode across the airport with only her carry-on to care for? “There’s something about an airport that completely disconnects you from your daily life,” Tziri said telepathically. Perela chuckled. “Just had that same thought. At home, I couldn’t imagine ever disconnecting, things were so crazy, but now I totally feel it.” I will not think about home now. Not about last night’s showdown at Mommy’s house, and not about Ezriel’s lost look this morning. The security line snaked onward. Tziri casually tossed her Fiji water bottle and removed her tablet. Perela pulled out her Kirkland bottle. She hoped they wouldn’t take away the two ounces of milk she’d brought along for coffee. “You work too hard,” Tziri said as they waited for the bins containing their personal effects to pass through the scanners. “Like, why was it so hard for you to leave?” Perela blinked. She was not about to share her life with this woman — definitely not shoeless. She stayed quiet. The reality hit her: Tziri’s the only person I know whom I’ll be seeing for the next week. She wasn’t sure how she felt about that. Tziri offered her a chance to explore, to feel, to access a part of herself she’d forgotten about. But she also left

“HASHEM BUILT MY HOUSE. EVERY TIME MY HUSBAND GOT STRESSED, I TOLD HIM, ‘DO YOU THINK HASHEM CAN PROVIDE FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR COVE LIGHTING?” Perela with confusing feelings. Their bins rolled out, and they quickly took their belongings. “We should hurry,” Tziri said. “Boarding is in a couple of minutes.” Perela glanced at her watch. “I would love to have a look at the duty-free shops. We have a half hour, at least, no?” Their flight was scheduled to depart at 10:40, and it wasn’t even 10:00 yet. “Business boards first.” Tziri quickened her step, and Perela followed. “We’re flying business class?” Perela squeaked. She checked her boarding pass, and sure enough, it said so right there. She hadn’t even thought of checking. “Of course. I always fly business. It’s a long flight, plus that stopover in Beijing. We need to be able to move a bit.” “But… isn’t it like double the price? I… I didn’t realize how… profitable this clothing line is…” she trailed off, aware how clueless she sounded. They reached the gate with time to spare. “Let’s sit a bit,” Tziri said. They found two adjacent seats, and Tziri turned to face Perela. “Perela, you have it all wrong,” Tziri said sweetly. “There is no connection between a business class ticket and the profits of the business. It’s not about how profitable the business is. It’s about knowing who the one in charge of your money is.” Tziri looked at her intently. Like she was going to share a great revelation with her. “Hashem. That’s Who. Do you think Hashem gets stuck because I, his daughter, needs a suitcase or wants to travel business class? It’s all about your mindset.” Perela stared. “We do hishtadlus, but we trust Hashem will provide. Generously. He has stockpiles of endless cash.” Tziri patted Perela’s arm. “You
know how I built my house?” Takkeh. How? Perela had never seen anything as gorgeous in her life. She’d worked very hard to keep her jaw from hanging open when she went to Mali’s kiddush. “Hashem!” Tziri answered her own question. “Hashem built my house. Every time my husband got stressed, I told him, ‘Do you think Hashem can provide for everything except for cove lighting? Who does He have money for if not for His children? “And you know what? He did. Plus that Jacuzzi I wanted. Really, everything I wanted. My husband kept saying words like mortgages and loans and payments. And I kept assuring him that Hashem provides, and that Hashem doesn’t get stuck. And you know what? He did provide.” The only thing Perela wished for right now — more than cove lighting — was to have another person — anyone, really — next to her. Someone to pinch or kick and crack up with. There was something so inherently wrong with Tziri’s reasoning, though she couldn’t even explain it herself. “So that’s how it works? You buy whatever you want, and it’s as simple as saying Hashem has the money?” Perela pushed. Tziri nodded. “It’s all about bitachon.” Perela couldn’t help herself. “Wow! It’s an honor to travel with such a baalas bitachon.” Tziri didn’t catch her tone. She just nodded seriously, her diamond studs — bought by Hashem, of course — glinting in the sunlight pouring in from the windows in the lounge. * * * * *
There was something about sharing one square yard with a woman for more than sixteen hours that made all walls come down. After the initial excitement of
“SELF-CARE?” PERELA BURST OUT. “THE MOST SELF-CARE I DO IS BRUSH MY TEETH, LITERALLY. SINCE MY MOTHER FELL, I DIDN’T HAVE A MINUTE TO BREATHE. IT’S NEVER ENDING”
her business class accommodations wore off, Perela realized that it was still a plane, which was basically a suspended bus you couldn’t get off. They ate soggy sandwiches together and they shared the two ounces of milk Perela had brought along. Then Tziri took out her tablet, and they reviewed their packed itinerary. And, of course, Tziri breathed. She took out her pillow and closed her eyes tightly. First the breathing was mostly quiet, but then her breaths became louder and louder like loaded sighs. Then she panted as if she’d run a marathon. “It’s called Breath of Fire and Bellows Breathing,” Tziri informed Perela. “It assists with gut health and mindfulness.” A stewardess came over to ask if she was feeling okay. Perela nudged her to open her eyes. “Sure. Don’t worry about me,” Tziri assured her. “I’m connecting.” After connecting, the lights in the aircraft turned off. Perela reclined her seat, delighting in the fact that it reclined all the way. Sleep was her way of connecting. She awoke a few hours later, disoriented. Was it night or day? And how was this plane still suspended after so many hours? She checked the screen with the flight information. They were apparently an eighth of a centimeter away from their destination. She had really slept undisturbed for five hours! And she had no buses to catch, no responsibilities to attend to. Tziri was busy reapplying lipstick, and she leaned back luxuriously. Who cared if this was a suspended bus? She was on vacation. An hour later, they were finally in Beijing and waiting for their connecting flight to Guangzhou. “I can’t sit for another minute,” Perela said. “How am I ever going to board another flight in one hour and forty minutes?” They headed toward the large windows where the sun was setting over the city. “So let me orient myself. We
boarded on Sunday, and now it’s Monday evening! I literally lost a day and a half. But it’s still yesterday for my kids.” She thought about Yanky, sleeping in a stranger’s crib, and her heart palpitated. Was it fair to him? Did he feel abandoned? In this teeming, Oriental airport, she suddenly wished she could snuggle up with him. “I wish I could call my kids,” Perela said. “I miss them. Sheva’s having a test today, and I hope she studied.” Tziri stared at her. “Perela, you’re not doing anyone a favor by overworking like this. It’s not like you’re on a vacation. It’s a business trip! Self-care is a chiyuv of bishvili nivra ha’olam. It’s a mitzvah.” “Self-care?” Perela burst out. “The most self-care I do is brush my teeth, literally. Since my mother fell, I didn’t have a minute to breathe. It’s never ending.” And maybe because she was groggy from sleeping on the plane, but probably because it was the first time in a long time someone was willing to listen to her, she continued. “My life has been crazy. I don’t think I had a moment where I felt free, like this, in months. And if I did have a free minute, I felt guilty for not doing enough.” Tziri pounced. “Chayecha kodmin. Who says this is what Hashem wants from you? Do you think He wants you to give up your entire life, your sanity, for your mother?” Perela blanched, and her hand shook. “Actually, yes.” Her eyes blazed. Tziri could buy all the Lois Vuittons she wanted. She could not tell her, though, that caring for her mother was wrong. “It might be hard to hear it,” Tziri said softly. “Sometimes the truth hurts. But think about it. Maybe the right thing to do is place her in a nursing home.” TO BE CONTINUE D…

Music has been called the universal language. But how could music be universal when every culture has its own style of music and its own standards of beauty? What is considered beautiful music to the Chinese population could easily sound grating to a person from across the globe. How, then, can music be considered universal?
THE UNIQUE MUSIC OF REB SHLOMO YAAKOV WEBER After talking to Reb Shlomo Yaakov Weber, a son of legendary composer and badchan Reb Pinky Weber, I finally understood the missing component: the heart. It’s the heart that speaks the universal language, and when one speaks or sings straight from the heart, then it opens a conduit straight to the listener’s heart. And when one heart speaks to another, the message is universally understood.
When it comes to the language of the heart, Shlomo Yaakov Weber is a master, with a uniquely special style of badchanus, both at chuppahs and mitzvah tantzen. “I once had two Israeli young men coming over to me. They were in the process of growing closer to Yiddishkeit, and they did not speak a word of Yiddish, only Hebrew. But they told me that one of the main things that inspired them to embrace Yiddishkeit was watching me gram at a chuppah. The entire grammen was in Yiddish, yet they felt that they understood every word, since it came straight from my heart. They said, ‘Stop whatever else you’re doing, and make more of these. The world needs it!’”
The old-world inspiration of badchanus in Yiddish has the power to cross barriers. As a matter of fact, Reb Shlomo Yaakov is currently collaborating with Simcha Leiner, who caters to the litvish world. “He told me that he was so inspired after watching one of my chuppahs. Even though it was in Yiddish, the varemkeit of a Yiddishe niggun comes through and has the power to inspire every Yiddishe hartz.” Over the last few years, the concept of a short, inspirational grammen at the chuppah has become popular, and Reb Shlomo Yaakov has become the go-to badchan for chuppahs. “It’s not a new concept, and I don’t like the idea of having ‘invented’ such a minhag. The first Skulener Rebbe, zt”l, would say a few words of hisorerus before a chuppah to inspire the chasan and kallah, and, going all the way back, the Targum Yonasan ben Uziel also mentions such a minhag.”
Keeping the Peace
A gifted badchan can put the entire family in the right frame of mind by weaving words of Torah together. This inspires 236
The Monsey View
May 14, 2025
www.themonseyview.com · 845.600.8484
the chasan and kallah as they embark on the most important chapter of their lives together. The process is not an easy one. It involves hours of research and dozens of phone calls until the badchan could rest assured that the information about the family is just right. “Sometimes I have to walk between the raindrops in order to ensure that there will be shalom, and that everyone leaves happy. For example, sometimes I get the feeling that one family member isn’t so popular, and some members of the family might have hard feelings toward him. I will then have to figure out a way to talk to others in the family who might have a more neutral perspective, because I don’t want anyone to be treated differently, or walk away from the simcha feeling slighted in any way.” Prioritizing shalom and people’s happiness always pays off. Reb Shlomo Yaakov once was the badchan for a family where one set of parents was divorced. He paid special attention to ensure that both parents would be honored in a way that would be appealing to the entire audience. “After the grammen,” Reb Shlomo Yaakov says, “the father came over to me and gave me a $500 tip because he was so moved. After that, someone from the mother’s side came over to me and also handed me a large tip! But the point wasn’t the money. What was so deeply rewarding was the fact that I was able to make the best of the situation in a way that made everyone happy.”

Another challenge is often lacking the full picture of the family dynamics. “Sometimes I have to say things in a way that is not too specific,” Reb Shlomo Yaakov says, “so that I don’t get anything wrong. For example, I once badchaned at a wedding where the grandmother was very ill, and on the day of the wedding, her situation was critical. When I got up to start the grammen, I suddenly realized that no one had updated me on her situation! I did not know if she was alive or if, chas v’shalom, she had passed away. I ended up paying tribute to her by enumerating her many special qualities, but without saying anything about her situation, such as saying that she was surely reaping loads of nachas from her family. The grammen went off without a hitch, and I later heard that she passed away the day after the wedding.”
The Highs and Lows
Being a public figure and putting yourself out there can also have its pitfalls. “After one chuppah,” Reb Shlomo Yaakov shares, “a guest decided that he didn’t like the way I’d grammed. He started yelling at me in public, blaming me for everything that was wrong with the Jewish music world today. It was embarrassing, but I took it in stride. I wasn’t going to make a fuss about it, because such things happen. When it was finally over, I turned around, and there was a long line of people waiting to speak to me. After seeing me publicly humiliated, they all wanted a bracha!” As the son of a world-renowned singer, composer and badchan, people sometimes assume that Reb Shlomo Yaakov is a younger copy of his father, but the truth is more nuanced than that. “Growing up, we did not have your typi238

cal ‘musical’ upbringing at all. My father’s focus has always been Torah, and he never brought the musical world into the house. We were just a normal family, and if we wanted to make our father happy, it was by sharing a good vort, not by singing. I feel that with both my father and I, having that strong background in learning is what gives our music its ko’ach to penetrate people’s hearts. It’s not just about making the end of every line rhyme; it’s coming from a deeper place of connecting to the Ribbono Shel Olam and bringing Him
nachas.” Reb Shlomo Yaakov doesn’t pay too much attention to current musical trends, but he does remain mindful of the need to appeal to the hearts and minds of today’s audiences. He believes that people are inspired by his music because he can be that bridge — bringing forth the chein of the older, traditional songs and styles, while being relevant to the younger generation. So is Reb Shlomo Yaakov “Pinky 2.0”? He laughs for a minute, and then stops to think. “I think people like my style because they know they’re going to get a little bit of my father’s ‘gefiel,’ and a lot that is uniquely my own. For my father, it’s his biggest nachas. There is no competition between fathers and sons.” He credits his father’s chinuch for helping him stay balanced by making sure that ruchnius was the priority, and not “making it” in the music world. At this point in his career, his reputation precedes him, and he has been called to perform badchanus all over the world. “The most interesting wedding I ever performed at was held in Cancun,

239
Mexico.” Cancun hardly sounds like the place for a chassidish wedding, but the wedding was held at the height of the COVID pandemic. At that point, there were too many restrictions to make a comfortable wedding in New York, so the family, an ordinary, chassidish family from Brooklyn, moved the whole wedding to Mexico. “The entire hotel was kashered, the guests all flew in, and it was one of the nicest, most erlich chasunahs I’ve ever attended.” It is a particular honor to be badchan at a rebbishe wedding, but every kehillah has its own minhagim and requests. For example, some kehillos call up the kallah’s side first, as opposed to the chasan’s side. In Stolin, the minhag is not to have any grammen at the mitzvah tantz, so only the mechutanim have grammen. Nonetheless, serving as the badchan at a rebbishe chasunah is an exceptional privilege.
“I had the great zechus of performing the grammen at a chasunah in America that Reb Leibish from Antwerp attended. What made it extra special to me was seeing that the Rebbe enjoyed it. I also had the zechus to be a badchan for Rabbi Moshe Green, zt”l, which was a tremendous honor, since he was my own rosh yeshivah.”
The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
Change affects everything, and the world of badchanus is no different. For the weddings of the first generation after the Holocaust, the mitzvah tanz was often the highlight of the entire wedding. It was a chance to remember and honor a vanished world, while expressing hope for the new generation the chasan and kallah were building. It was commonplace for weddings to end at 4 or 5 a.m. As the years went by, weddings became more and more frequent, not the rare, special
Crafting Grammen
While being a badchan can be tremendously rewarding, it also involves a lot of hard work. The material always has to be fresh and relevant, and the family has to feel that it was composed especially for them, not recycled from a previous wedding. How does Reb Shlomo Yaakov deal with “writer’s block”? “It happens to everyone. Every creative person has periods of time where it just doesn’t flow. My advice? Don’t fight it. Just put it away, and get back to it the next day. You will often find that forgetting about it for a little while helps you recharge your creative juices.” He also shares advice for young people who enjoy creating grammen and are thinking of turning it into a career: “Don’t hold back. Put yourself out there. Believe in yourself. If you never get started because you’re afraid that you’re not good enough, then you won’t be creating a vessel to hold the bracha from Hashem.”

occasion that they once were. Families started requesting a shorter mitzvah tantz, and the onus was on the badchan to remember all the family members and say something nice about each one, all while not making the audience feel as if it was a “rush job.” Reb Shlomo Yaakov believes that the trend is currently moving somewhere toward the middle. “People have started expressing a desire for a longer, more toichen-filled mitzvah tantz. It is a moment of tremendous hisorerus, and a person can accomplish and daven so much in that uplifting time. It is a privilege to be the catalyst for that heilige moment for the family, where they connect with their parents and grandparents and daven for the new couple.” Interestingly, the concept of a mitzvah tantz has recently started to cross cultural borders. “I’ve started getting requests for a mitzvah tantz from people who have never had one,” Reb Shlomo Yaakov shares, “whether they’re what’s called ‘heimish’ or even litvish! There is something uniquely inspiring about bringing the immediate members of the family together, and hearing about their quali-

A Special Shlichus
ties. And, of course, there are the divrei hisorerus that are uniquely special to the young couple getting married.” Such weddings present their own challenges, since many members of those families might not speak or understand Yiddish, which is mainly how Reb Shlomo Yaakov “gramms.” “I try to do a little bit of both, using the unique chein of Yiddish, with enough English thrown in so that nobody feels left out.”
Reb Shlomo Yaakov has a unique perspective on the difficulties inherent in his job. “If you look at it as a mission, a shlichus from Hashem, that perspective helps you overcome the difficult parts, such as the late nights. However, I never embark on a job without putting $5 in a Rebbi Meir Baal Hannes pushkah. When a person is on a heavenly mission, amazing things can happen. One demographic is very dear to Reb Shlomo Yaakov: chasanim or kallahs who have struggled in their teens. Many times, even though these young people aren’t following the exact same path as their parents, they still want the same thing: to connect to the deepest parts of themselves and their Yiddishe neshamos. They, too, yearn for the special varemkeit of a mitzvah tantz with the full Yiddishe taam. “One of the most moving mitzvah tantzen I’ve performed at was for a chasan who admitted to me that he had serious struggles as a bochur. He told me that at a certain particularly low point, he wasn’t putting on tefillin at all. But he wanted to have an authentic mitzvah tantz because he wanted to be inspired to daven for his future children, so that they would never have to struggle the way he did.” A Yiddishe simcha is the culmination of all the joys and struggles of parenthood, where the parents enjoy the incredible nachas of seeing their children embark on creating new branches of the great tree of Klal Yisroel. It is also a time of heightened emotion, and tears often flow freely. But that is part of the joy of a Yiddishe simcha. “The biggest simcha brings one to shed a few pure tears,” says Reb Shlomo Yaakov. “It’s a sign of heightened emotion, and that’s what a Yiddishe wedding is all about.”

Outfitted in Shabbos finery, exuding an innocent purity, they hold on tightly. On the brink of boyhood, these toddlers grasp their fathers’ hands as they balance on their shoulders. Toting flags or signs displaying the alefbeis, they proudly bob up and down as their fathers joyously whir around. Some wear their fathers’ shtreimels on their heads; others sport white knitted yarmulkes. T .
G E S T E T N E R
Warm chords of clarinet pulse nonstop as Yidden from all walks of life link arms and sing along. There’s liquor and homemade cakes, brought along to mark the special occasion: Another little yingele is turning three. From the balconies above, mothers and grandmothers shower the little ones with candy and clap along. Elderly Sefardi women hum along exuberantly, their hap-
py tears mingling with the music below. At the center of the circle, the venerated kabbalist of Yerushalayim, Rav Asher Zelig Margulies (1893–1969), swirls around in an uplifting dance. Dangling from his neck is a shiny pair of scissors on a golden chain. He will soon use these scissors to cut the hair of the little boys, and leave them with the distinctive look of another soldier in Hashem’s army. It is early twentieth-century Meron. Bringing three-year-old boys to receive their first haircut in the court of Rabi Shimon is not a new concept at all. It’s a minhag dating as far back as the Arizal and perhaps before, and it’s one celebrated amongst diverse circles in Klal Yisroel to this very day.
Chalakah: The Simcha and the Significance Streaming up the mountain are a colorful mix of families — both Ashkenazim and Sefardim, from all circles — with their three-year-olds. These adorable little boys arrive wearing yarmulkes clipped to their hair — and go home freshly shorn, wearing the appearance of a Torah-true Jew. The day of the upsherin is a day worthy of celebration, much like the day of a baby boy’s bris, as Rav Yaakov Sapir Halevi (1822–1885) says. Giving our children a distinct Yiddishe look signifies purity and the onset of kedusha. It’s a spiritual renewal, similar to that of a nazir whose hair is not cut during the period of his nezirus. The first haircut, typically called an “upsherin” in these parts, is commonly referred to as a “chalakah” in Eretz Yisroel. The word originates from Arabic, meaning “to cut.” Yaakov Avinu is quoted as saying, “V’anochi ish chalak — And I am a smooth man” (Bereishis 27:11). Yaakov Avinu was a yoshev ohalim, one who sat in the tent of Torah all his days. Now, as we bring a toddler into the world of Torah, we introduce him to the world of Yaakov Avinu, a world where Torah and
mitzvos are the primary focus. That’s why the upsherin is more than an external display of festivity and fanfare. At age three, our sons begin to learn the alef-beis and embark on the journey of limud haTorah. Thus, the upsherin is an internal demonstration of spirituality, the beginning of a child’s journey as he leaves babyhood behind and enters a period of chinuch and connection to Yiddishkeit.
When To Cut Lag Ba’omer is an auspicious day for the upsherin. Ashkenazim typically cut both on the night and day of Lag Ba’omer. The Kaf Hachaim mentions waiting for the 34th day of the omer — the day after Lag Ba’omer — to cut. This was also an old minhag in Tzfas. By far, the most popular minhag is to shear a child at age three, reminiscent of the mitzvah of orlah. Just as the fruit of a tree are off-limits for the first three years, so, too, do we not cut a boy’s hair for the first three years of his life. In some circles, however, a boy customarily receives his first haircut at age two. This is common among Skvere chassidim, as well as Yemenite Jewry. The Steipler cut his own son’s hair at age
two, as well. In contrast, some Sefardim used to wait until age four or five. In Morocco, on the other hand, a baby boy’s hair is traditionally shorn at the age of nine months.
What To Do With the Hair As mentioned, Moroccans cut their sons’ hair at nine months. The women collect the shorn locks and place them inside the baby’s pillow, demonstrating their love for the mitzvah of peyos. Yidden in the Old Yishuv of Yerushalayim used to stow away the first hair, which was cut l’shem Shamayim. Some treated the hair the way one treats sheimos, in accordance with what the sefer Minhagei Yeshurun says. The Kaf Hachaim warns not to burn the hair, as Tosafos in Niddah says that anything that comes from the body and is burned can cause the person harm. The minhag of some Ashkenazim does differ. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l, maintained that the main thing is not to dispose of the hair in a disgraceful manner. It is said that Rav Aharon of Belz, zt”l, instructed that the shorn-off hair be weighed, and its value in gold be given

to tzedakah. This has been a common practice in many chassidish courts and is said to be a segulah for yiras Shamayim, knowledge in Torah and long life. The Ridvaz suggested donating the weight of the hair for the maintenance needs of Kever Shmuel Hanavi, such as oil and wax to kindle lights. The Ridvaz also said that some of the money should be given to the poor or toward communal funds.
The Nesivos Shalom then gave the boy a slice of cake and a dollar bill, ensuring he would leave with a happy memory of this significant milestone
Significance Shown by Gedolim
Chaim used to say, “Lag Ba’omer is the Yom Tov of chalakah children. They take precedence over adults!” And the toddlers would indeed enter first. After each snip, Rav Chaim would hand the child a candy and remind him to say a bracha. World-famous photographer Shuki Lehrer was proud to snap an expressive picture that shouts Rav Chaim’s essence: Between cuts, in the few moments it took for the next child to be brought to his table, Rav Chaim engrossed himself in his sefer — scissors still clutched in his hand. Not a moment lost!
The minhag of upsherin has been held sacred throughout the generations, as our gedolim from across the spectrum of Yiddishkeit have demonstrated. Practically every day of the year, barring Rosh Chodesh, the Three Weeks, and sefirah, fathers used to bring their three-year-olds to the famous address on Rechov Rashbam to have the gadol hador, Rav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l, snip their sons’ hair. On Lag Ba’omer, an especially large crowd would arrive. Rav
One year, a father brought his three-year-old to the Nesivos Shalom of Slonim, zt”l, during the Lag Ba’omer tisch so the Rebbe could cut his hair. The crowded room frightened the little boy, and he began to cry. The Rebbe put down the scissors and beckoned for the crowd to sing another few niggunim. Only once the child calmed down did he once again lift the scissors and cut some hair. The Rebbe then gave the boy a slice of cake and a dollar bill, ensuring he would leave with a happy memory of this significant milestone. Rav Gershon Edelstein, zt”l, Rosh Ye-

shiva of Ponovezh, exhibited similar concern for the chalakah boy’s state of mind. A little boy who was brought to his home for a cut appeared anxious with the goings-on. The Rosh Yeshiva stroked his hand warmly, speaking softly to the child all the while. When the child relaxed, he snipped off some hair. Noticing that the father was holding a camera, the Rosh Yeshiva asked, “Nu, did the picture come out okay?” The father stammered, almost ashamed, but Rav Gershon lifted the scissors and repeated the process. “It’s important for the boy to have a good picture and memory of his momentous chalakah!” he said. A similar story took place in the home of Rav Elyashiv, zt”l. After cutting a curl from a little boy’s head, Rav Elyashiv noticed the father looked a bit disappointed, and guessed that he had missed capturing the moment on his camera. He took the scissors in hand and cut again. “Nu, is everything good now?” the gadol asked. A father who brought his son to Rav Nosson Wachtfogel, zt”l, for his first haircut turned to the mashgiach after the cut and asked for chinuch advice at this important juncture in his child’s life.

“It’s important for the boy to have a good picture and memory of his momentous chalakah!”
Rav Nosson replied, “Reishis chachmah yiras Hashem.” Then, he emphatically lifted his hands upward and called out passionately, “M’darf nur tuhn ein treisel faren Borei Olam! All we must do is one tiny move for the Creator of the world!” He told the little boy to raise his hands and repeat the words after him. Years later, when this child — today an adult — would be asked what he remembers of his upsherin, he’d lift his hands and repeat: “M’darf nur tuhn ein treisel faren Borei Olam!”
Why Meron? For centuries, families with little boys turning three have been making the trip to Meron — the place for chalakahs. Perhaps the earliest recorded instance is of the Arizal, who brought
his son from Tzfas to Har Meron on Lag Ba’omer for his upsherin, but the custom seems to date even farther back. One reason boys receive their first haircut at Rabi Shimon’s gravesite is discussed in the Gemara (Meilah 17). The kingdom of Rome once issued gezeiros against Klal Yisroel. The Yidden sent a representative, Rabbi Reuven Isterobeli, to try and get the decrees annulled. Thinking that he would be more successful if he were not distinguishable as a Yid, Rabbi Reuven cut his hair in the manner of the Romans. Ultimately, his efforts were not met with success. Next, the Yidden sent Rabi Shimon bar Yochai, who was known for working miracles. He went, fully garbed in Jewish attire. Baruch Hashem, he accomplished the goal, and the gezeiros were nullified. This miracle was largely attributed to the fact that Reb Shimon had gone with complete gaavah d’kedusha, with his appearance clearly defining his status as a Yid. When our sons are in peyos for the very first time, we are essentially giving them that Yiddishe look so everyone they meet could tell that they are a Torah-true Jew. Therefore, it is fitting to do so at the tzion of Rabi Shimon. Rav Yehuda Leib of Faltishan recorded his impressions of Lag Ba’omer in Meron, decades ago. “When I was in Meron, there were about seventy little ones — both Sefardim and Ashkenazim… Each man joyously held his young child on his shoulders… and they all danced together, the Sefardim and Ashkenazim, and musicians played along on their

musical instruments. That the children should sit this way on their fathers’ shoulders isn’t natural; only those with a streak of inspiration could tell that it is completely the power of the tzaddik, Rashbi…” The sefer Mishnas Chassidim explains that it is a mitzvah to rejoice in celebration of Rabi Shimon bar Yochai. What an incredible way to celebrate — through performing the mitzvah of cutting a child’s hair for the first time right there in Meron!
Yamlitz Tov Ba’adeinu Many couples have seen their dream of building a family fulfilled in the zechus of the Tanna, and they come to fulfill their vow to do their son’s first haircut in Meron, as brought down in the sefer Taamei Haminhagim.

after eight years of marriage to beg for a yeshuah on this auspicious day. In the same convoy sat a family that was taking their son to Reb Shimon for his chalakah. When they arrived at the maarah, the childless woman stationed herself beside the tzion and tearfully recited all of Tehillim. She pleaded that in the zechus of Reb Shimon, she should merit a son. On the other side of the mechitzah, the men were whirling around joyously. The father they had met on their journey was dancing with his son on his
shoulders. When he noticed the childless man join the circle, he immediately pulled him over to the side and honored him with snipping a curl of his son’s hair. The little boy was impatient, and begged to go back to the dancing, but his father cajoled him to give a bracha to the man, telling him what to say word for word. Exactly four years later, on Lag Ba’omer, this couple — now a family — brought their son to Reb Shimon for his upsherin. They’d come full circle, all the way back to Meron.

Before I turned 30, I’d never been to Meron. I’d never experienced the thrill, the breathlessness, the joy and tears combined to form a path straight to Shamayim. I didn’t even know I was missing anything as I watched a small group of men semi-dancing near a tiny bonfire in front of our neighborhood shul every year. Lag Ba’omer, I thought, was a boys’ day. And since I had been blessed with a houseful of girls, the day wasn’t really mine to celebrate. The music was nice, and most years I had a cousin’s wedding on Lag Ba’omer, but the heiligkeit of the day sort of ended with that. Despite our houseful of girls, my husband and I wanted a son. Our days passed in a happy blur of dresses and skirts, loafers and hair accessories, and yet, and yet… we yearned for a little boy. It was petty, really. Silly, almost. We were so blessed and lucky. Other people would have been on top of the world if they had what we had. Five beautiful, healthy daughters. We were so grateful. But my husband wanted a son. My grandmother would ask me if I had a Kaddish’l yet, in her frank manner, and my defenses would drop. No, I didn’t. And I wanted one, so, so badly. We davened. We performed the well-known segulos, and even some that were not well-known. And we waited. And waited. And waited.

AND THEN WE PLANNED a trip to Meron for Lag Ba’omer. Well-meaning friends hinted that I should promise “a name,” but those who knew my family understood that I couldn’t. My husband’s name was Shimon, so there was no way I could name a baby that. “Maybe we should promise that if we have a boy, we will name him Elazar, for Rabi Shimon’s son?” I asked my husband as the plane started its descent. My husband shook his head. “I don’t think that’s a thing. Do you know anyone who did it? I don’t know; it sounds so strange.” I didn’t press the point. He was right. I didn’t even know where the thought had come from. Our trip was surreal. The singing, the dancing, the fires, the music… it all pierced my soul. I davened, my Tehillim sweaty in my palms. I had so much to ask for, so much to thank for. How had I never known about this Yom Tov? How had I whiled away this heilige day with supper and a CD player? Lag Ba’omer in Meron became my new highlight of the year.

My heart thudded, and my mind shifted feverishly. Was this my sign from Heaven?
My birthdays passed, each one bringing the blur of my life into focus for an extra minute. Yom Tov. Shabbos. Yom Tov. Pesach. Then Lag Ba’omer arrived again. We traveled to Meron again, and again I mentioned the possibility of promising to give the name Elazar. My husband laughed at my naivete and shook his head. No, he didn’t think so. Then I turned 32. On a mazel’dige day, we called our children at home with the good news. Mazel tov! My older children held their breath hopefully. Was it a boy? No, it was a darling sixth daughter. She was born two weeks before Lag Ba’omer, after a long, eventful and complicated medical journey. I had been stuck in the hospital for a couple of weeks before she was born, and the sight of my beautiful little girl melted my heart. She was adorable, and I kissed her tiny face a million times, crazy over her mini toes. I was older, smarter than I’d been in the past, and knew that each child was a miracle, no matter the gender. Except that it mattered. My husband greeted the well-wishers at the kiddush good-naturedly. Six girls! The pink ruffles smiled at me, and I grinned right back at the headbands. A healthy child. But still, in the dark of the night, I also wanted a son. “We should promise to give the name Elazar,” I told my husband again one night. I couldn’t see his face in the dark, but I could feel his reaction. He wasn’t ready to make such a promise. WHEN MY DAUGHTER was two years old, I was at the pediatrician’s office, making small talk with an acquaintance. Mrs. Kanner had taught my older daughter when she was in second grade, and we were always happy to see each other when our paths crossed. “Elazar, come here,” she called to her little boy who was running after a tiny spider in the corner of the room. The little boy obediently came to see what his mother wanted, and my curiosity was piqued. Elazar, the name that kept crawling into my consciousness. “Who is he named after?” I asked Mrs. Kanner conversationally. She laughed easily and answered.

“Believe it or not, for Rabi Shimon bar Yochai’s son, Reb Elazar.” My heart thudded, and my mind shifted feverishly. Was this my sign from Heaven? I pushed for details. “How come?” “I had three girls, and we wanted a boy. I couldn’t give the name Shimon, because my father-in-law’s middle name is Shimon, so we promised we’d give Elazer if we had a boy.” That evening, I could barely wait until my husband had taken a couple of spoons of his soup before launching into my story. “It’s hashgacha pratis,” I told him. “Of all the people in the waiting room together with me. Of all the names in the world. It means something!” My husband looked up. “I guess so,” he said hesitantly. “I mean, we don’t know where our life will go. We’re not getting any younger. Maybe this is the message we were meant to hear.” Together, we verbally committed to naming our son Elazar, if Hashem would listen to our tefillos and grant us a son. And we kept going to Meron every year, feeling the kedusha, thanking and begging.

I had gotten an answer; Hashem had sent us a wonderful gift in the form of a little boy
WHEN I WAS 36 YEARS OLD, and my youngest daughter was four, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy just a week before Lag Ba’omer. His bris was celebrated with much fanfare. There was gratitude, and plenty of teary eyes as well. It was a neis, a miracle baby, in more ways than one. And it was a boy. “Elazar.” I whispered the name as I changed little light blue stretchies and reached for slate-grey bibs. “Elazar, my tzaddik.” I tickled my tiny baby’s fingers, watching them curl around my big ones. I had a little boy! It was hard to believe. My Bubby wasn’t around anymore, but she would have been so excited about my Kaddish’l. The year after Elazar was born, I wasn’t ready for the trip to Meron yet, so I let my husband go on his own to thank Hashem for this wonderful gift that He had bestowed upon us. It was hard for me, because I really wanted to be there. I recalled all the years of begging, all the tefillos of the past. I had gotten an answer; Hashem had sent us a wonderful gift in the form of a little boy. My husband will be my shaliach, I thought as I helped him pack his suitcase. A day later, I listened to my husband’s excited voice as he described the scene approaching the kever. In my mind, I was there, too. The sound of the clarinet in the background pulled at my heartstrings as I said Tehillim in my house, a true tefillas hoda’ah. Next year, I thought to myself. Next year, I’d also be in Meron. The year Elazar turned two, Meron was locked down. COVID was raging, and there was no way we could go. On Lag Ba’omer of that year, I thought of Meron longingly as we joined a neighborhood bonfire once again. The piano was nice, but it didn’t compare to Lag Ba’omer with Rabi Shimon. SOON AFTER SUKKOS, we started planning and dreaming. Then came another wave of COVID, and Eretz Yisroel was floating in and out of lockdowns. By Lag Ba’omer, I figured, things will have settled down. I wanted to cut my Elazar’s hair in Meron. I just needed the tzaddik to invite me there.

As Adar bled into Nissan, we tried to make sense of all the contradictory information coming from Eretz Yisroel. We would need permits to go to Meron, but they weren’t giving permits to Americans. Then one day we heard that they were, and the next, they weren’t. It was so confusing. Eventually, we heard that seminary students and yeshiva bochurim were able to procure a permit to travel to Eretz Yisroel — but what about a couple with a child? We asked around, trying to nail down a conclusive answer. I had wanted to bring the entire family to Meron, of course, and do the actual haircut there, as I’d seen so many other Yidden do. But if that couldn’t happen, then at least my husband and I should go, with Elazar. I couldn’t wait to see Elazar on my husband’s shoulders, with his long hair swinging down his back. I could already envision the background music, the cute little upsherin outfit and cap, the joyous singing and dancing. My husband was more practical than I was. “Who says it has to be in Meron?” he asked me one day, when I tried calling travel agents to see if they could help us get permits. “I don’t know if Elazr will cooperate. It’s so hot and stuffy there, with millions of people. What if he needs the bathroom? What if he falls and starts cry-

ing? He’s a coddled, spoiled, adorable three-year-old. Does he need all that commotion? Why don’t we just do his upsherin at home?” I didn’t have the words to explain how much I wanted this big splash by Rabi Shimon. So we agreed to wait and see. We would make the final plans after Pesach. If Rabi Shimon would invite us, we would listen to the tzaddik’s call. As we cleaned for Pesach that year, my girls kept pestering me about our plans. “We’ll see,” I told them. “If we’ll be zoche, we will be in Meron. And if not, then we won’t.” The days passed slowly. We inquired about tickets, but the permits weren’t working out. Many other little details worked against us as well. “Why?” I cried into my pillow. “Why can’t I make the beautiful chalakah I keep envisioning?” Then, approximately two weeks before Lag Ba’omer, I had a dream. It was vivid and disturbing, and I woke up frantic. “We’re not going,” I told my husband with strong conviction in my voice. “I had a dream that something terrible happened. Something involv-

ing Meron, and our son. I don’t want to be there. I don’t want to go.” My husband was more than happy with my decision, and I got busy renting tablecloths and baking miniatures for Elazar’s local, Lag Ba’omer upsherin. But my heart still longed for Meron. I didn’t want to make do with some tiny bonfire across the street. When I heard through the grapevine that the hadlakah in Monroe was the “Meron B’America,” I submitted my son’s name to the list of children who would have the privilege of having the Satmar Rebbe cut his hair, a meaningful privilege. It was on the way to Monroe that we heard the sad news. Disbelief turned to horror as my husband and I stared at each other with teary eyes. The crowd, the crush, the tragedy. Kedoshim, all of them, heilige neshamos. We knew the area, we knew Meron. Had we been in Eretz Yisroel, my husband and I would have been at the Toldos Aharon hadlakah, possibly right there, leaving early with our little boy. Had we gone… What if we’d gone? But miraculously, we were home. We were home with my six beautiful girls, and my little ben zekinim, my miracle boy. Elazar.

MY L AG BA’OMER MIRACLE IN MERON It feels funny telling people that Lag Ba’omer is my favorite Yom Tov. I mean, officially it’s not even a Yom Tov at all. It has no halachos other than not saying Tachanun, and it doesn’t even have any traditional foods that give the Yomim Tovim so much flavor. But what can I say? There’s just something about the day that seems to lift me higher than any other. It hasn’t always been this way. For many years, I let the day pass, if not unnoticed, then certainly uninspired. In fact, during the short time that we lived in Tzfas, a mere hop, skip and jump from Meron and the kever of the holy Rabi Shimon bar Yochai, I hardly ever visited the place and would even (I’m ashamed to admit) suffice with a little wave across the valley to the gathering throngs 278

on that special day. It was only years later, when traveling to Meron for Lag Ba’omer became a half-day, rather than half-hour, venture, did I get bitten by the Lag Ba’omer bug. My conversion could have something to do with the miracle I experienced there, namely, that I didn’t lose my glasses. Now, before you scoff, let me explain. If any of you have ever been to
Meron on Lag Ba’omer (especially before COVID and subsequent events that have toned things down), you’ll know that if a dictionary needed to illustrate the definition of “meandering, festive mob,” it would simply include a snapshot of an aerial view of Meron on this day. That year, I’d been loosely tagging along with a chassidish group that had rented one of those ubiquitous, off-the-side-of-the-path, chainlink-fenced enclaves as a home base. Me being me, I broke away from the scheduled, fenced-in activities early on to make my way toward the tziyun on my own. I’ll spare you the gory — er, glorious — details of my march, but l’maaseh, I made it there and back in one piece. Returning to the all-men’s camp
בס"ד
from where I’d come, I reached to pull my glasses out of my jacket pocket, where I’d tucked them in what seemed like a spiritually wise move. (Back in those hoary days, there was no gender-separated “derech mehadrin” men’s path to the tziyun.) The only problem was that my pocket was empty. After frantically searching every possible hiding place in my wardrobe and side pack, I came to the inescapable conclusion that they had fallen (or more likely been jostled) out somewhere along the way. Now, besides the financial loss — which for me would be considerable — you have to understand that I’ve been blessed with wonderful 20/20 vision… for anything within a foot of my face. After that, as they say, it all becomes a blur.
Left with little choice, I made a desperate one: I would simply retrace my steps and look for my glasses So, left with little choice, I made a desperate one: I would simply retrace my steps and look for my glasses. Yeah, right. Truth be told, this was not peak hour on the mountain, and you could still move along the paved trail with some modicum of personal space, or at least what would pass for such in downtown Calcutta. So, I set off on my myopic mystery tour, filled less with hope than hubris and only fortified by the knowledge that I had, after all, originally doffed my glasses in an attempt to serve Hashem. Eventually, I reached the charming rest area where I had detoured the first time around. Now considering this a likely drop-off point, I searched the area but came up empty. A more rational sort would have simply given up at this point, groped his way back down to home base, and sat out the rest of the day with his face in a sefer. But by now I was too invested in my quest to back down. Estimating where I’d gone after that detour, I took about a dozen steps down a side trail and said to myself, wistfully, but with strange conviction, “You know, my glasses could have fallen out right here.” Squatting down, as I couldn’t scan ground level from my towering 5-foot, 9-inch perch, I gingerly grazed my hand over the grassy curb… and found, or rather felt, pay dirt. My glasses were right there. So, yes, my glasses and I made it back down from Meron that year, intact and reunited. Not a miracle for the record books, maybe, but it’s my Lag Ba’omer story, and I’m sticking to it. In a crowd of thousands, the perfect placement of people and things works just as mysteriously as everything else up on that mountain.

MAJOR FUNDING VICTORIES Let's start with some good news. In July 2024, my office hosted a public forum at Rockland Community College to address the broken foundation aid funding formula that has shortchanged our schools for years. We gathered community input and submitted powerful testimonies to the Rockefeller Institute. As a direct result of our advocacy, the Legislature adopted key changes, delivering an additional $40 million in state funding to schools in my district, including $20 million for East Ramapo schools this year and every year going forward. This funding increase is a major win, and I'm proud to have fought for it. But let me be clear: I'm not done. I will continue fighting to ensure East Ramapo receives its fair share!
MEANINGFUL PROGRESS ON PROTECTING PARENTAL RIGHTS Albany Democrats are experts at creating problems and then pretending to solve them. Their favorite target? Private school education. Several years ago, Albany Democrats revived a "substantial equivalency" bill from one hundred years ago that threatens to intervene in the independence of private and religious schools across New York State. As someone who attended private school in my youth, this is not just a policy disagreement for me; it's personal. I firmly oppose this targeting. That's why I voted for a seven-year postponement that fixes the state law so that Albany bureaucrats can't continue to shut down private schools and instead permit them to come into compliance. Although it's not a perfect fix, it gives us time to fight it outright while ensuring private schools retain their autonomy and that parents keep the right to choose the education that's best for their children. I will not back down!
ONE SETBACK — AND A RENEWED FIGHT Unfortunately, this is where things get truly outrageous. For years, Albany Democrats have unfairly singled out the East Ramapo School District. No other district in the state is subjected to a monitor with veto power — a punitive and undemocratic measure installed by my Democrat predecessor, Elijah Reichlin-Melnick. The monitors egregiously claimed the district had a $20 million deficit when it had a $31 million surplus! This year, Democrats, including the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, and Assembly Speaker, in collaboration with the New York State Education Department (NYSED), shamefully buried the reauthorization of that monitor inside the substantial equivalency bill, trying to sneak it through without accountability. I fought back hard. While they succeeded in keeping the monitor, thankfully, its extension was shortened from five years to two — a step toward finally removing this discriminatory measure altogether. Let me be clear: East Ramapo families deserve the same voting rights as everyone else, not state overreach. I will keep fighting until this unjust monitor is gone for good!
