Talk of Town

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

(Re: A Brilliant Solution, Issue 511)

Thank you so much for your article on lab-grown diamonds. I found the production and background of these stones very interesting.

I agree that the lab-grown option might be right for many people in our community, but I would like to argue with the fact that lab-grown diamonds are just like mined diamonds. A piece of diamond jewelry is special simply because it showcases precious gems. When the gems are no longer precious, regardless of their physical makeup, that piece of jewelry no longer holds the same value. By value I am referring to its sentimental value, and not only its monetary value. A truly precious stone is more than just its physical makeup. If given a choice, I’d much sooner choose smaller stones over mass-produced sentiment. Let’s not claim that lab-grown diamonds are just like the real thing.

Thanks for a truly great read every week!

LOOK AT YOUR NUMBERS

(Re: A Brilliant Solution, Issue 511)

I know lab-grown diamonds are the latest thing, and certainly makes many wallets sag with relief, but there’s another side to the story of this stone. I know that many jewelers are selling lab-grown diamonds simply because people are asking for it, and also because the significant markup makes these sales worthwhile for them. But as a customer, why would I pay a few hundred (or thousand) dollars for stones that were produced in machines, and don’t have even a fraction of the value I’m paying? (Not to mention the sentimental value of getting a beautiful piece of diamond jewelry — I’m not even going there.)

According to Money Under 30, a company that offers financial advice, if you purchase a 1.20 carat round lab-created diamond from James Allen — which costs $3,800 — you may only get around $50 back if you resell it.

While it’s great to pay $3,800 for something that would otherwise cost you double, especially if you don’t plan to sell it anytime soon, why shell out that kind of money for something that was man-made?

A gem is a gem because it’s rare and created by the hand of Hashem. That’s what makes it special.

SHIDDUCH NUMBERS

(Re: The Shadchan Says, Issue 511)

I thoroughly enjoyed your last edition, especially the — count them — two articles on shidduchim. The piece on how people met their bashert (Your Shidduch Miracle) highlighted a fact that often seems to get overlooked: most shidduchim come from friends, family and even new acquaintances, rather than professional shadchanim. However, in the second article (The Shadchan Says), there was one statement that I found confusing. The article said that in the chassidishe world, there are 40 boys for every girl. While that was clearly an exaggeration, I had not been aware that there was an imbalance in this group, and I’m not sure why there would be. As far as I am aware, chassidishe girls and boys tend to marry at the same age. Since an equal number of boys and girls are born each year, why would there be a glut of boys available for far fewer girls? If anyone can explain, I would appreciate it.

SAD TO SAY GOODBYE

(Re: Give or Take, Issue 511)

It seems that, unfortunately, this most amazing serial is coming to an end, so I am finally writing a letter to say what has been on my mind for a long time.

I don’t usually enjoy reading fiction, but this serial was special. First, Chanie Spira has an unbelievable talent in portraying the characters. Her characters are so real, so relevant. It feels like they live next door to me. I find myself thinking of them the whole week. I have to remind myself that it’s only fiction!

Second, Chanie’s story brings out middos tovos and ehrliche Yiddishe values. She normalizes people with various characters, feelings and scenarios, like siblings resenting each other for not pulling their weight, or young mothers feeling stifled without an outlet for their talents, and a yungerman deeply involved in making money with a seemingly selfish temperament. Yet it ends with forgiveness, with the characters seeing things in a new way, and full of warmth and love. We’re seeing devotion, selflessness, kibbud eim and nesiah b’ol. I still have in my mind the image of Kaylie on Rosh Hashanah; even though she had to care for her mother and couldn’t go to shul, she got up early to daven for her brother Eli to have parnassah and and a yeshuah for his son.

I believe that readers will leave this serial with many valuable lessons. Hoping to see more serials from this writer very soon!

A Fan

P.S. I hope you’re going to include Kaylie’s kids’ reactions when they hear of her plans to remarry.

FOLD LESS, BUT NO MESS

(Re: Unbelievable, Inbox, Issue 511)

I was so impressed with the survey results stating that 60% of people don’t fold all of their laundry. I was devastated to learn that it was a misprint! I personally never fold undershirts, pajamas or socks, and nobody ever knows. Everything that isn’t seen while worn gets stored in

A Busy Mother

A FUNNY ENDING

(Re: I Wish I Could Give It Back, Inbox, Issue 509)

My friend related that for years she was unhappy with her washing machine. The clothing didn’t come out clean, or smelling fresh. Then she moved. When they disconnected the washing machine, they saw that the hot water had never been connected!

TRY THIS

(Re: I Wish I Could Give It Back, Inbox, Issue 509)

My experience with an LG front loader:

First, the rubber gasket was designed in a way that causes it to collect water. Even if I keep the door open, mold inevitably grows. I had to replace the gasket after barely two years, and the new one is slowly colonizing. I try to treat with Clorox, but since my laundry is never-ending, it’s hard to find the time available to clean the machine without ruining the clothing.

Second, if you have such a model, you may have missed the small flap at the bottom left of the machine. When opened, you’ll find a filter that collects the debris from the drum. It can (should!) be removed for cleaning from time to time to ensure clean water flow.

Happy laundering!

YOUR SAY

THE SOURCE OF BRACHA

Thanks for the most amazing publication. We especially enjoyed the Shabbos feature in honor of Shabbos Nachamu. We had our own special Shabbos recently. We were in desperate need of a yeshua, so as a zechus, I committed to bli neder tackle all Shabbos preparations early, start getting dressed at least an hour before the zman, and be ready for candle lighting exactly at zman hadlakas neiros Hodu laShem, in a most miraculous way, we merited a wonderful yeshua on the very first Friday of our kabbalah. I am hereby fulfilling my commitment to publicize this powerful segulah, which anyone can do without spending a lot of money or traveling far. Shabbos is mekor habracha

May we be zoche to many more brachos and yeshuos in the zechus of Shabbos.

DOES THE ICE CREAM TRUCK COME

TO YOUR AREA OVER THE SUMMER? HOW OFTEN, IF EVER, DO YOU BUY ICE CREAM OFF THE TRUCK?

Growing up on Jeffrey Place in Monsey in the 50s and 60s, the Good Humor truck drove down the street every day, playing its jingle. The ice cream man gave us a sign to put in the living room window if we wanted him to stop at our house. That sign stayed up all summer.

The ice cream truck comes to our colony every Sunday, and we usually buy ice cream. It’s not about the actual ice cream, but the exciting country vibe that the truck brings with it.

The ice cream truck never comes to our area, we never buy any ice cream, and we’re always happy nonetheless!

I am not in the mountains for the summer, but I call the ice cream truck to my house once during the season.

I wish the ice cream truck would come to my area.

We value practicing and teaching our kids the importance of making independent choices instead of being influenced by sellers and marketers. In the case of the ice cream truck, we buy ice cream whenever we want to, on our own terms, rather than when the truck driver decides to pass through.

My kids know that we never buy ice cream from the truck. When I do decide to treat them, we enjoy ice cream from our very own freezer. Cheaper and better.

The ice cream truck doesn’t come to my area. When we do happen to see it, we usually skip buying anything because ice cream from the grocery freezer — even the high-quality ones — is much more budget-friendly than what the truck offers.

We do not buy ice cream off the truck. It is hard to keep to this policy being that the whole colony does buy from the truck, but we make up for it with other treats.

Baruch Hashem, the ice cream truck doesn’t come to our area; it saves us lots of tantrums.

I grew up in Antwerp where the ice cream trucks were non-kosher. We used to look at the non-Jews buying ice cream and remember that we were bnos melochim who couldn’t do the same. I was shocked the first time I heard that there are kosher ice cream trucks!

Ice cream trucks come to our colony as often as four times a day. It’s a real struggle not to allow my children to buy ice cream every time, and the only way to combat the social pressure is to set family boundaries regarding buying ice cream. (In our case, we buy ice cream twice a week.)

It comes once a week, and no, I don’t buy the ice cream from the truck.

The ice cream truck comes to our bungalow colony about twice a week. Every Tuesday is the official ice cream day for my family.

I’m quite upset about the ice cream truck fad for several reasons. 1. If I want to treat my children to ice cream, I can do so myself, thank you very much. 2. When I finally do scrounge around the house to find some cash, the truck is usually already down the block, and my kids are left heartbroken. 3. They are prohibitively expensive!

The ice cream truck comes to my street way too often. I was shocked when the neighbors called it down in the Nine Days.

In our colony, all the kids run to the gate with excitement to see the truck. Nobody even knows that it sells ice cream. They enjoy the music and the matzav, but no one ever buys.

Since that terrible ice cream truck accident, we do not allow it any access inside the colony, and only an adult may join the line of customers.

The ice cream truck brings back sweet childhood memories. I grew up in Williamsburg side by side with non-Jews. When we heard the non-kosher ice cream truck’s song, we all ran to the window to watch the neighborhood kids line up and buy ice cream. We knew that Yiddishe kinderlach “essen nisht in gas.”

The ice cream truck comes to our block many times a summer — around twice a week, which is a little too much!

We are in a camp in Pennsylvania, and the ice cream truck came here once in the past eleven years. Everyone was very excited. In general, we are perfectly happy without it. We buy ice cream often, but infrequently enough that my kids feel very deprived. I prefer to stock ices and ice cream that I can dole out more frequently for less money.

We buy ice cream once a week, and the kids can choose when they want it.

No, it does not come to my area, and I’d rather not spoil my kids so much. They get enough junk in day camp.

PARSHAS RE’EH

Seeing Straight

Y. Levenstein

In Parshas Re’eh, the prohibition of consuming blood appears. We are told to follow this command “so it may benefit you and your children after you, forever; when you do what is good and proper in Hashem’s eyes” ( Devarim 12:25).

The Gemara ( Makkos 23b) says, “If when it comes to blood, which a person is disgusted by, and he refrains from it, he earns reward, then when it comes to theft and immorality, which a person desires and is enticed by, how much more so will abstaining from it merit reward for himself and his children and children’s children for all generations.”

Several pesukim later, the Torah discusses honesty regarding money, and repeats the same language, “So it may benefit you… when you do what is good and proper in Hashem’s eyes” (ibid. 12:28).

Rashi explains that “what is good” means good in the eyes of Hashem, and “what is proper” means proper in the eyes of man. For being honest when it comes to money, the Torah promises reward for generations.

Two chassidim once came to Reb Yitzchok of Vorka and said that they wished to open a business together. They wanted the Rebbe to write up a contract of partnership for them.

The Rebbe took a piece of paper and wrote four letters: alef, beis, gimmel, daled.

“Always hold on to this paper,” he said.

“What does it mean?” the chassidim asked.

“These letters stand for emes, brachah; gezel, dalus. If you run your business honestly, with yashrus, there will be bracha in your work; if you are dishonest and resort to gezel, the results will be dalus, poverty.”

This was the Rebbe’s hadracha for the success of their new venture.

THIS STORY TOOK PLACE some 90 years ago, when the famous maggid, Rav Shalom Schwadron, was still a yungerman. One morning, he stood at a bus stop on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, waiting to catch a bus to Yerushalayim. Just then, an older Yid approached, and Reb Shalom noticed that he was none other than Rav Eliyahu Dushnitzer, the mashgiach of Lomza in Petach Tikvah, the yeshivah of his youth.

Reb Shalom greeted the mashgiach excitedly, and Reb Eliyahu responded with a warm smile. “Reb Shalom!” he said. “I think you gained from learning with us in yeshivah. Can I ask you a favor?”

“What’s the question?” Reb Shalom replied. “Of course, I’ll do whatever I can for Rebbi.”

“You surely know about my orchard,” Reb Eliyahu began.

Reb Shalom nodded. Which Lomza bachur could forget the story of the mashgiach’s orchard?

Reb Eliyahu had an orange orchard in Ir Shalom, a small village near Tel Aviv. He received it from his son, Reb Asher, who got the orchard as a dowry, but gave it to his father when he moved to the United States. Shortly after Reb Eliyahu acquired the orchard, orange exports suffered, and the price of oranges fell drastically.

The fruit sales did not cover the annual investment the orchard required, and the orchard began accumulating debt. Reb Eliyahu realized he needed to sell the orchard, but there weren’t many interested buyers. At that point, he asked all of his acquaintances to daven that he should find a buyer.

“Nobody knows when his time will come,” he explained, “and I don’t want to leave this world and leave behind debt. I must sell the orchard as soon as I can and use the profit to pay off my debt.”

Time passed, but nobody took interest in the property.

One day, Reb Zelig, a Lomza alumni, arrived in yeshivah. He had recently begun to work as a realtor and was trying to help the mashgiach find a buyer for his orchard. “I think I found someone!” he told Reb Eliyahu. “I met an American Yid who wants to purchase land in Eretz Yisroel, and he has the money to pay for it. He sounded very excited about the orchard. It’s just what he wanted!”

The potential buyer remained silent. Reb Zelig couldn’t tell what he was thinking, or whether he was still interested in the sale

Several days later, the mashgiach, Reb Zelig and the potential buyer met in Yerushalayim. Together, they boarded a bus to Tel Aviv, from where they would take another bus to Ir Shalom.

As they sat on the bus, Reb Eliyahu turned to the potential buyer and said, “It says in the Torah, ‘Lo sonu ish es amiso I must tell you the honest truth.” And the mashgiach began listing all the issues and faults of his orchard. “You need to know exactly what you’re buying.”

Reb Zelig grew agitated. He’d been working for days to get to this point, warming up the potential buyer and arranging this meeting. He knew how important it was to Reb Eliyahu to sell the orchard — and here, with a few words, the mashgiach was sabotaging the sale.

“One tree is wormy,” Reb Eliyahu continued, “and another stopped bearing fruit. And, just so you know, orange trees need to be cared for all year round. It isn’t enough to appoint some workers to work the fields. If every tree isn’t tended carefully, you can lose your entire investment.”

The potential buyer remained silent. Reb Zelig couldn’t tell what he was thinking, or whether he was still interested in the sale.

The three finally arrived at the orchard. As they strolled between the trees, Reb Eliyahu pointed out the wormy tree and the one that had stopped bearing fruit. Suddenly, the American Yid pulled out some pills and popped them into his mouth.

“Excuse me,” he said. “I’ve been suffering from heart problems recently. I take these pills just once a day, and be’ezras Hashem, I’ll be fine.”

But Reb Eliyahu wasn’t happy. “You mean you aren’t a healthy man? Hashem should send you a refuah sheleimah But now I cannot sell you the orchard.”

“Why? What’s the problem?” the man countered. “I want to buy it!”

“Look,” Reb Eliyahu explained. “I told you earlier — if you don’t pay personal attention to the orchard, it will be a waste of money. I cannot sell my orchard to someone who will most cer-

tainly be losing money on the deal.”

The man tried to argue, but Reb Eliyahu was firm. And the orchard remained on the market.

Reb Shalom Schwadron recalled this tale, which had happened several years before, and wondered why the mashgiach was bringing it up now.

“A while ago, I met another Lomza graduate,” Reb Eliyahu Dushnitzer explained. “He recently opened a cheder in Yerushalayim. I asked him if he could have all of his students daven that I should be able to sell the orchard.” The mashgiach paused, weighing his next words carefully to avoid speaking negatively of another Yid. “You know that a menahel has lots on his shoulders… Since he is so busy, he forgot to say Tehillim with the children.”

“How does the mashgiach know?” Reb Shalom asked, curious.

“Because I didn’t sell the orchard yet,” Reb Eliyahu answered, as if stating the obvious. “Had the children davened, I would have sold it already.” He said it with such a pashtus, such simplicity, that Reb Shalom was blown away. What emunah peshutah!

Soon the bus arrived, and Reb Shalom was on his way to Yerushalayim. He decided that he would go straight to the cheder, rather than going home. He got off the bus and immediately noticed none other than the menahel of the cheder coming toward him!

“I have a message from the mashgiach, Reb Eliyahu,” he told the menahel

Before he could say another word, the menahel clamped his hand over his mouth. “Oy, I forgot! The mashgiach asked me a while ago to say Tehillim with the children every day…”

The menahel explained that he was on his way to the bank, but since it was several minutes before the younger children were to be dismissed for the day, he would retrace his steps and go back to cheder. The tinokos shel beis rabban would say Tehillim for the mashgiach still that very day!

Just one week later — one week of tefillos by pure little children — the orchard was finally sold.

2025 NEW BACKPACK COLLECTION

THE GIFT THEY’LL TREASURE

If you’re a soon-to-be mechuteniste, you’ve got machzorim on your mind. Machzorim styles, choices, types… Which set will your soon-tobe daughter-in-law receive in time for her Rosh Hashanah tefillos?

Choose

just the right leather-bound custom look at Kaftor Judaica.

A Custom Choice

Leather is a timeless legacy, a legacy that starts today. A leather-bound machzorim set is meant to last a lifetime. You need it done right the first time.

At Kaftor, you get that true customization experience. Instead of choosing from just a few basic styles, Kaftor gives you dozens of styles avail-

able in every color so you can create your dream look and impress the new kallah. Here you’ll find designs with clean lines that feel modern yet still warm and classic, and textured designs that feel elegantly unique. You’ll find the option that speaks to you in the pages of Kaftor’s design catalogue, updated with fresh designs for 2025.

Embossing your family name on

every machzor cover welcomes your kallah into your family and heart like little else. At Kaftor, you’ll choose from over 15 different name embossing options, for the perfect one that feels like it always belonged.

If the range of options feels overwhelming, ask Kaftor’s expert staff to guide you through the process. With their experience, getting just the results you wanted is effortless.

Inside Outside

Kallah machzorim are about more than just the stunning leather covers and name engraving. Because you also want the kallah to feel comfortable using her new machzor on Rosh Hashanah in shul. You want a machzor that she enjoys davening from, that will enhance her Rosh Hashanah experience in a meaningful way.

But what often happens when you’re shopping for machzorim is that you can’t get a machzor that’s just as beautiful on the outside as the inside. You might want a machzor with interlinear translation, but you can’t find it with that leather cover that’s the perfect mix of classic and modern. Or you’re excited to find a machzor with gorgeous leather options, but the inside text isn’t your family’s nusach

Kaftor makes it easy to get the ultimate machzor both inside and outside – the inside text that will elevate your the tefillos of the kallah, and the magnificent leather cover that’s a testament to your excitement at welcoming her into the family. Kaftor can take any machzor you’d like, slice the cover right off, and re-bind it in the perfect, striking leather style.

Every Sefer, Any Style

From their binding shop in New Jersey, Kaftor provides the tristate area with custom leather binding

for any book you could possibly want bound in leather. You want an ArtScroll machzorim set? Kaftor will put the leather cover you choose on your ArtScroll set. You want a siddur printed by your chassidus? Kaftor can bind it in the same leather style you chose for the machzorim

A leather-bound sefer feels like a warm human touch, holding your hand as you daven. It enriches and beautifies an already precious gift, making it into a timeless treasure.

His Turn, His Gift

While Kaftor creates countless sets of exquisite kallah machzorim every year, there’s another kind of leather-bound gifting that’s become even more popular recently: leatherbound gifts for men.

Anyone can tell you that gifting the woman in your life is simple. Buy a piece of jewelry, and you’ve bought a gift that she’ll cherish.

But gifting a man is more complicated. It’s hard to find that luxury gift item that is not only a beautiful gift but also something he’ll really enjoy.

That’s where Kaftor’s specialty in turning any sefer into

a leather-bound keepsake has opened a new world for giftgivers. It means that you can turn every sefer into an enduring treasure.

It’s just the thing any time you’re looking to pay tribute in a way that hits home and transmits a message of honor and reverence.

Memorable and Meaningful

Leather-bound volumes are fit for a rebbe, sitting on a table of grandeur. When you give your chasan, husband, son or father a leather-bound volume or set of volumes, it’s a mark of honor and distinction. Whether you choose a full set of chumashim or a beautiful zemiros with his name engraved on it, it’s a gift of prestige and pride that he’ll treasure. Customers have gifted haggados for Pesach or personalized siddurim as well.

Even better, Kaftor has a line of 3D leather styles. These styles include textured fur in the leather design. It’s an elegant, modern touch that’s especially popular for these men’s gifts.

Marking the Milestone

No more wondering which sefer to buy for the bar mitzvah bochur. With leather-bound and name engraving in the latest styles, you can upgrade your gift with that wow factor without having to buy a multi-volume set.

Here’s also where you can choose from Kaftor’s 3D textured fur options to make it up to date for the young bochur

A Tribute to Her Devotion

A leather-bound Tehillim or siddur is just the way to express appreciation to the Yiddishe mammeh in your life. For a special mother or grandmother, Kaftor will custom-dedicate the volume with children’s names included, so that you show how much you value her tefillos on your behalf.

Heirloom Volumes

Kaftor creates leather-bound volumes of every kind. That’s why, when a prominent organization wanted to show appreciation to a benefactor with something truly exceptional, they turned to Kaftor.

Kaftor took a complete set of ArtScroll Shas and bound it in a beautiful antique leather style. The finished masterpiece was a unique expression of recognition for this donor’s support, a gift of Torah wrapped in elegance. A leather-bound Shas makes a lasting impression, an heirloom to be treasured. Unlike the many plaques these donors own, a leather-bound Shas is something few are privileged to receive.

A Premium Process

become the expert in the field.

Creating the perfect look starts with a perfected process. After decades of professional leather-binding, Kaftor has

Before binding any sefer, the book is measured, and Kaftor’s specialized program will calculate how big to cut the leather cover so that it fits just right. Measurements in hand, it’s time to cut the leather, then stamp the chosen design onto it so that it lasts for generations.

Each step, from leather cutting to embossing, is carefully done by hand, using precise hand machines for a flawless design. Next, the leather is glued onto the cardboard cutout made for this specific cover. Each cardboard is designed just so, to make the edges feel round and soft while the cover itself stays thick and hard.

Once the cover is attached to the sefer, it’s passed on to the embossing machines, where it will receive its stamp of belonging. Here’s where Kaftor’s meticulous process comes in handy, ensuring the stamp comes out just as you wanted it to.

When the books are bound, engraved, and ready to go, they’re carefully packed into a cardboard box. There, they await shipping to their lucky new owner, and a lifetime of loving use.

Zelle Enabling Fraud, Says NY Attorney General in Lawsuit

Zelle may be the way that many of us send and receive money, but a lawsuit filed by New York State Attorney General Letitia James alleges that the platform’s lax security has led to staggering losses.

A press release sent out by James claims that Early Warning Services, which owns and designed Zelle, failed to equip the service with “critical safety features.” That omission provided scammers with a pathway to steal more than $1 billion from Zelle users over a six-year period, reported CNBC.

According to James, EWS and its partner banks knew that Zelle’s registration process lacked basic safeguards, and did nothing to rectify the situation. While a similar lawsuit against EWS was dropped in March, James is seeking restitution, damages and a court order that would force Zelle to implement anti-fraud measures.

“No one should be left to fend for themselves after falling victim to a scam,” said James. “I look forward to getting justice for the New Yorkers who suffered because of Zelle’s security failures.”

Zelle dismissed this latest lawsuit as a political stunt, following in the footsteps of the earlier legal action. A spokesperson for the company said that had James’ office conducted an investigation, it would have determined that Zelle is an industry leader in banking security, with over 99.95% of its transactions proceeding without any issues.

Skver Chasunah Draws Mazel Tov Wishes From Trump

In an unusual exchange, President Donald Trump extended mazel tov wishes to the Skverer Rebbe last week, congratulating him on the August 13 wedding of his great-granddaughter.

The presidential letter was delivered to the Rebbe by Izzy Spitzer, mayor of New Square, and Rabbi Duvid Katz, executive director of the Israel Heritage Foundation. The letter was read aloud during the wedding, where thousands of attendees were on hand to witness the very significant gesture.

“Your unwavering support and encouragement mean a great deal to us and have been a tremendous part of our incredible movement,” wrote Trump, who also sent his personal blessing to the chasan and kallah for a lifetime of shared

happiness. “You represent the very best of our Nation. Together, we will usher in the Golden Age of America!”

Responding to the letter, the Rebbe sent brachos of his own to the president in an email sent by Spitzer to Trump.

National Night Out Draws Huge Crowd

Rocklanders of all ages converged on Clover Stadium in Pomona on August 14, eager to enjoy an exciting afternoon that was both fun and informative.

Sponsored by Polaris Healthcare for the seventh consecutive year, Rockland’s 2025 National Night Out was a golden op-

portunity for children and adults to interact with members of law enforcement, community agencies and first responders. Children of all ages enjoyed the opportunity to speak with representatives of multiple county officials and employees, and to interact with members of the Spring Valley, Ramapo and New York State police departments.

In addition to giveaways of all kinds, participants were treated to face painting and a bouncy house, and were able to climb aboard ambulances and take a ride in a fire engine–themed vehicle.

Safety was a major theme of the National Night Out. The Chaverim booth was stocked with 160 bicycle helmets that were being distributed for free, while children who came to the Hillcrest Fire Department’s booth to get souvenir plastic fire helmets had the opportunity to learn about fire prevention. A flyer from the Rockland County Department of Health addressed two Shabbos fire safety concerns — heating up food and lighting candles — in both English and Yiddish, while the Rockland County Office for the Aging offered a version of its sixteen-page booklet of services for older adults written entirely in Yiddish.

turn onto Union Road, thanks to a new stop sign installed last week by the Rockland County Highway Department.

Grandview Avenue ends at Union Road, and drivers coming down the steep hill don’t always anticipate the full stop that lies ahead, which has resulted in numerous crashes over the years. Increased congestion in the area often has Union Road backing up at the spot, making it difficult for drivers coming down Grandview to find a break in the traffic so that they can turn left onto Union.

According to Rockland County Highway Superintendent Charles Vezzetti, a traffic study recommended the stop sign as a way of reducing crashes and enhancing safety. But New Hempstead residents are questioning that line of reasoning, noting that the stop sign does nothing

Ironically held during daylight hours, the National Night Out was an enjoyable experience not only for attendees, but for those on the other side of the tables that dotted Clover Stadium’s parking lot.

“This is actually one of the best parts of the job, where we get to go out and meet the people we protect and serve,” Officer Mike Samora of the Town of Ramapo Police Department told The Monsey View.

These thoughts were echoed by Rockland Deputy County Executive Michael Hoblin, who appreciated the opportunity to acquaint residents with the many services that are available to them.

“It’s always best when police officers can interact with the public in a place like this and a forum like this,” said Hoblin. “It’s how we form those close relationships.”

County Unveils New Stop Sign at Union and Grandview Intersection

Eastbound drivers heading down Grandview Avenue in New Hempstead will be having an easier time making the left

to prevent drivers from taking the Grandview hill too quickly, and that Union Road will become even more impassable during heavily traveled times.

Loehmann’s Attempting a Comeback

Twelve and a half years after initiating bankruptcy proceedings, Loehmann’s is planning a comeback, much to the delight of bargain shoppers looking for designer duds.

Competitor Century 21, which shut its stores several years ago and reopened its flagship Lower Manhattan location in 2022, bought out Loehmann’s and is bringing back the offprice retailer, reported the New York Post. The two stores had been competitors for a while, with Loehmann’s having 100 stores throughout the United States in its heyday.

Loehmann’s will be returning as an online retailer, at least for now, although a series of pop ups, which will include the store’s popular Back Room designer section, will whet shoppers’ appetites. A two-week warehouse sale starting on August 22 will take place at the Tanger Outlets on Long Island, with future pop-ups expected to be held in Florida later this year, and in New York City sometime in 2026.

“We think there is real value in the brand going forward,”

said Larry Mentzer, chief operating officer for Century 21.

Noting that discounted fashion is currently retail’s hottest sector, Mentzer said that there is talk of opening brick and mortar Loehmann’s locations as well.

Loehmann’s 39 stores nationwide were generating $300 million in revenue when the company first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in late 2013, citing increased competition and limited access to capital. The store closed for good in 2014 after filing for bankruptcy protection for the third time.

Watch Out for E-ZPass and DMV Scams, Warns Hochul

Summer may be a time to relax and enjoy some welldeserved time off, but Governor Kathy Hochul is warning New Yorkers that scammers are definitely not on vacation and are hard at work trying to steal your money.

A press release issued by the governor on August 15 describes the latest ploys being used by thieves. Those scams include text messages and emails that appear to be originating from the Department of Motor Vehicles or the state tolling authority, trying to get potential victims to hand over personal information that can be used for fraudulent purposes.

In some instances, messages pressure their victims to act urgently to prevent their licenses from being suspended, while others warn about unpaid tolls that could lead to an immediate vehicle registration suspension. Often, scammers direct victims to a website that looks official but is actually a fake. New Yorkers are urged not to click on any links in these messages and not to provide any personal information.

“Remember,” warns the DMV on its website, “if the message does not feel right, chances are it is not.”

The New York State Thruway Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Authority have both said that they never send texts or emails asking for sensitive personal information.

Those who have already shared personal information with a questionable entity are advised to check their credit reports regularly, contact the three credit reporting agencies (TransUnion, Equifax and Experian) to place a credit freeze or fraud alert on their accounts, change their passwords, check their devices for viruses, and notify their banks and any companies they have accounts with of possible fraudulent activity.

“I’m standing up to fight back against these schemes,” said Hochul, adding, “Enough is enough.”

CHANIE SPIRA

The shadchan calls Kaily to reschedule the shidduch meeting.

Chanukah felt like it had sprung out of nowhere. Kaily had hurriedly polished the menorah on Erev Chanukah between therapy appointments and weddingrelated errands. Only after tzinding did Perela decide that the Handlers had to have a party.

“We only meet at the hospital,” she’d said wryly. “It’s time we meet for some fun.”

In two days, a party was born. A party, which Roiza had to admit was definitely nicer than anything she had ever done. It was as if the decades of Chanukah parties Roiza had hosted in her home had never happened. The mess, the noise, the gifts, the work — the work most of all — was neatly erased, and just like that, Roiza was no longer the Chanukah party hostess.

Instead, Sruy kindly wheeled her into Perela’s home and parked her at the head of the dining room table while her daughters slaved in the kitchen. “Guest of honor,” he’d announced.

A euphemism for a clunky prop, Roiza thought.

Everyone was busy. Perela was managing the playroom, where she had set up a carnival for the kids, complete with a chocolate fountain and mini-moonwalk, and Kaily was running the kitchen. There were mauve velvet quilted tablecloths with furry runners. Tall candelabras and personalized place settings. The matching paper goods put all of her carefully dusted cobalt dishes to shame — and her, too.

She had secretly harbored the hope of this party being less, just less of something than hers had been, just so her family would remember her effort to make them happy. So they would remember her

Instead, this party was bigger and better with way less effort. The food smelled divine, though she didn’t recognize the smells, and Perela had given her a pair of slippers she’d picked up on her trip. Uggs, she called them. (“Uggs?” Roiza had grimaced. Who would wear something so, well, ugh

Last year, Roiza had been the one standing over the frying pan and arguing with her daughters over using china versus disposables. Admittedly, her hands shook plenty and she knew something was off when she struggled to flip

SHE HAD SECRETLY HARBORED THE HOPE OF THIS PARTY BEING LESS, JUST LESS OF SOMETHING THAN HERS HAD BEEN, JUST SO HER FAMILY WOULD REMEMBER HER EFFORT TO MAKE THEM HAPPY

ROIZA FELT THE FANGS OF SADNESS SLOWLY LIFT. THERE WAS SOMETHING NEW AT THIS PARTY (BESIDES THE BOARDS). SHE OBSERVED HER KIDS INTERACT WITH A CERTAIN EASE THAT HAD NEVER BEEN THERE

the latkes. And admittedly, she was happy that her daughters had won and she didn’t have all those dishes to wash.

But the beast hadn’t had a name yet. And that made it way easier for her to chalk it up to age or stress or anything, really. It made it easier for her to putter and delegate and coordinate her party.

She leaned back and sighed, trying to inject a smile into her sigh. Yankel, alav hashalom, had had a way of sighing with a smile that took all the harshness out of the sigh. And he had done a lot of the sighing from Rosh Chodesh Kislev until the party every year. He patiently waited in the car while she agonized over the gifts, vacillating between art sets and Lego sets. Eventually he would just tell her, “So take both.”

Decor hadn’t been a thing in those days, and she felt baalabatish using her Shabbos dishes and cloth napkins.

Decor was definitely a thing at this party.

“Egg boards are the next big trend,” Yiddy announced as he removed two large rectangular wood cutting boards. “We can do omelets, cholent-browned eggs, hard-boiled and soft-boiled. It’s totally a rich man’s food.”

Roiza smiled despite her quivering lips. The way Yiddy spoke in a rush, relishing the chuckles, showed how he had rehearsed the joke way back when eggs were still expensive. When everyone was laughing sufficiently, Yiddy removed the plastic wrap from the two cutting boards.

Apparently, they weren’t cutting boards. They were boards. A meat board and a kugel board. Why, if kugel was baked in loaf pans, were they suddenly cool if you put them on a board?

But what did she know? She was a clunky prop in a wheelchair trying hard to keep her lips in a stable smile and failing miserably.

Was this the cycle of life? Did she have to resign herself to being a taker, to relying on her children for every move?

She’d tried. Hashem knew how she’d clawed at the bare walls to be able to give. How she’d shaken heaven and earth for Kaily’s shidduch, hoping to do her this one, everlasting act of giving. How she’d encouraged Perela to follow her heart and take the Prance job.

And where did that leave her?

With one single daughter and one unemployed one — and all because of her.

She would have kicked herself if her foot didn’t hurt so much.

The least she could do was give them back their lives. And she was going to do that today.

“I’M SORRY ABOUT SPOILING YOUR GAME,” SHE SAID, “AND PERELA, THE ANSWER IS CLEANING HELP”

Blimi took out a pile of cards and started a lively game of How’s Yours. “I know they play it at every party, but I’m too old to be creative,” she joked. “And anyway, I want all your secrets out in the open!”

As the party segued into goodnatured banter, Roiza felt the fangs of sadness slowly lift. There was something new at this party (besides the boards). She observed her kids interact with a certain ease that had never been there. Estee and Blimi were part of things, not just daughters-in-law who brought a salad. They were a team, something, she suspected, that was cultivated precisely during those shifts when she had transformed from giver to taker.

Blimi looked so relaxed, at peace, even. Her sheitel was set and she was wearing makeup. She also helped with dessert, when the most she’d ever done at Roiza’s party was bring a salad.

Chuni. All the years, they’d insisted on bringing him to the Chanukah party, even though he ruined all the games and Eli or Blimi had to hold him down for half the party.

Roiza wouldn’t ask where he was, but she gave them a mental thumb’s up.

“Okay, this is the first one,” Blimi announced. “Kaily, close your eyes.” She held up a card that said kitchen cabinets

The answers came fast and funny: Full of acrylics (Estee). Full of MSG (Perela). Full of pills (Herself.). Always unpacked (Malky).

“Cabinets?” Kaily guessed.

The next card read cleaning help Perela was the one who had to guess. Lifesaver (Blimi). Full-time (Estee). Stuff of my dreams (Suri). Keeps changing (Malky). Necessary evil (Kaily).

They all turned to Roiza for her answer.

This was her chance.

Say it.

“I’m sorry about spoiling your game,” she said, “and Perela, the answer is cleaning help.” If her wrist hurt less, she would twist her fingers, wring them in agitation. But she had no such luxury, so she was left with her hands resting on the armrests, her feet on the footrests and her eyes on her kids. “Yiddy, Eli… you, too.”

She gathered strength from the faces looking at her. She was doing this for them.

“My cleaning help. I want to let her go. Because I think... an aide,” she said the word slowly, carefully, “would help with the cleaning, too.” She dropped her gaze and forged on.

“I…” Her voice broke slightly, though she was grateful that she wasn’t slurring. “I thank you all for your tremendous kibbud eim.” Only Hashem knew how it felt to be stripped of all dignity. Only He knew how hard this was for her. “But I think this is what I need now.”

Yiddy’s eyes traveled to Eli’s, and Perela caught Kaily’s eyes for a split second before they all dropped their gaze as if choreographed.

They looked shocked, Roiza noted. But the smoothing of lines on Kaily’s forehead, the slight drop of Yiddy’s shoulder, also signified relief They were relieved that she wanted an aide.

Yes!

The candles in the centerpieces glowed. Kids whined and laughed and tumbled in the background. Yanky was somehow deposited on Perela’s lap, yet no one moved.

“Kinderlach, there was nothing harder than watching… the tables turn. I’ve become a taker, and that’s very hard for me.”

And then, just to make sure her kids understood what she wanted from them, she repeated her request. “As a Chanukah gift… I want an aide.”

THE CANDLES IN THE CENTERPIECES GLOWED. KIDS WHINED AND LAUGHED AND TUMBLED IN THE BACKGROUND. YANKY WAS SOMEHOW DEPOSITED ON PERELA’S LAP, YET NO ONE MOVED

* * * * *

A… a taker? Perela watched her mother sputter the word taker. As if she were a beggar, a needy leech sucking on their blood.

“A taker?” she echoed loudly.

Her mother nodded sadly. “Especially you, Perela…” her voice trailed off. “Your job… your family.” She didn’t say more, but Perela heard her words all right.

Perela looked around the dining room, her dining room, and so many Chanukah memories filled her. Memories of frying donuts and latkes and fritters and late night games. She remembered sitting at the menorah and wondering how, how, had her mother done this? How had she served latkes at the menorah without growling about the mess, the schedule and the endless work?

“Ma… you’re the biggest giver I can imagine.” She took her mother’s hand. “You’ve given me so much. Especially now.”

Ezriel caught her eye, and he smiled kindly. How could she ever explain this to her mother? How much she’d given her precisely because of the job? * * * * *

Kaily watched Perela stroke her mother’s hand.

“A taker ?” she echoed, just as her sister had. She looked at her hands, almost smooth for the first time all winter. Though some really raw spots still remained, they would heal, slowly, with cream and gloves and care.

She felt the warmth rise up inside of her. The warmth she’d felt when she’d found the gorgeous diamond necklace under a bed and glowing with love. The warmth she’d felt in the hospital room when she’d realized the endless giving her mother — her family — had done on her behalf.

“Ma…” She moved around the table to take her place near her mother, alongside her sister. “Ma. You gave me, us, the greatest gifts of all.”

Around her, they were all nodding. Yiddy, hardest of all.

Maybe the biggest gift was yet to come? Tomorrow she would find out.

Kaily gestured around the table. “Look what you did, Ma. You were one giver, and you created so many.”

Many of us have been there or know someone who has: the sudden, gut-wrenching realization that your passport is lost, expired or has a different name than the one on your airline ticket. Your flight is in two days… and the dreaded passport panic sets in, followed by the frantic search for that one person who can make the little blue booklet appear faster than your flight departs. For countless desperate travelers, that person is Mrs. Snyder.

GOLDIE HIRSCH

What began as a simple travel mistake for Mrs. Snyder quickly morphed into Rockland Express Passports, an expedited passport processing service.

“Eighteen years ago, my daughter wanted to travel to Niagara Falls,” Mrs. Snyder says. “Unbeknownst to us, there was a new rule in effect: You needed a passport to travel into Niagara Falls.” A birth certificate, which had been good enough in the past, wouldn’t suffice. And so, a mad dash to find someone who could expedite a passport began. “I called the county clerk, but the only people they could recommend were from Brooklyn.”

An entrepreneur at heart, Mrs. Snyder saw an opportunity. “I love to start businesses, and I love to help people. I figured, if people do this in Brooklyn, I’ll do it in Monsey.” And just like that, a solution for Monsey was born.

HELP, EXPRESS

Mrs. Snyder’s client list reads long. “Everyone. Really, anyone might need an expedited passport,” she affirms. From the excited auction winner who suddenly realized his prize trip required a valid passport, to mothers needing urgent passports for their infants, and those who overlooked the crucial “sixmonth validity rule” (see sidebar).

Her phone is constantly ringing. She and her secretary frequently assist children needing passports for an appointment with Dr. Alexander Kobrin in England (also known as the prism doctor), individuals traveling to sites like Lizensk, Kerestir and Uman, and of course, the typical yeshiva bochur with a flight booked but no passport to show.

As if to illustrate the point, I hear the doorbell ring. There’s a yeshiva bochur at the door, documents and passport photos in hand. He has a farher the next day, and if he passes, he’s off to Eretz Yisroel for yeshiva. I hear Mrs. Snyder reviewing the documents and passport picture.

“It’s not going to work,”I hear her say. “You need to retake it.”

Mrs. Snyder soon explains that the bochur’s eyes were halfclosed in the photo, which wouldn’t pass at the state office.

This meticulous eye for detail is why Mrs. Snyder offers passport photo services as well.

“Anything can set the application process off. People don’t realize how nitpicky the Department of State can be. The adjudicators, the people who process the applications, are sticklers for rules and will stop at anything — be it pictures, a blue pen versus a black pen or indecipherable signatures.”

Though based in Monsey, Rockland Express Passports serves clients across America. People from as far as Florida FedEx their documents to Mrs. Snyder, who then personally takes them to the Department of State. Once the passport is secured, she FedExes it back.

“ANYTHING CAN SET THE APPLICATION PROCESS OFF. PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW NITPICKY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE CAN BE”

Do any passports get lost this way?

“We once had a set of passports get lost,” she says. “The family was from out of town and was supposed to travel for Pesach, yet they never received the passports I had mailed them.”

After much back and forth, the Department of State agreed to issue a new set, but only if the family personally came to Connecticut to fetch them. So before their trip to the airport, they made a detour to the Department of State.

On the topic of lost passports, Mrs. Snyder mentions the time a woman urgently needed a passport to travel to her late husband’s shloshim in Eretz Yisroel. She came to pick up her passport, unaware that the envelope contained both her old and new passports. While hurrying across a main road, her new passport slipped out of the envelope and landed under rushing cars, buses and trucks. Through hashgacha, someone found the passport and gave it to Mrs. Snyder’s neighbor, who then returned it to Mrs. Snyder. “Boy, was she glad that she hadn’t landed in the airport with her old passport!”

BUREAUCRATIC BARRIERS

Have there ever been instances where Mrs. Snyder was unable to procure a passport for a client?

“Unfortunately, yes,” Mrs. Snyder admits, “and there’s nothing I can do when that happens.”

Issues such as unpaid taxes from previous years or unpaid child support can red-flag an applicant, leading to automatic rejection.

“This is not something we can know in advance,” Mrs. Snyder says. “In such cases, the customer must resolve the issue with the State of Washington.”

There are also times when something as simple as a few inches of snow can bring the process to a grinding halt, as state offices close their doors, putting all applications on hold.

“I treat every passport like it’s my family member’s,” she says. This personal investment often pushes her to go above and beyond, even when facing resistance from uncooperative adjudicators at the Department of State. “The Department of

State is aware that I get paid for my services, and is often resentful of the fact that I profit from this process.”

In one incident, Mrs. Snyder was emailing back and forth with them regarding a client who desperately needed a passport to board a flight to a wedding that was to take place that very night. The Department of State, however, was unyielding, refusing to release the passport.

WHAT IS A PASSPORT EXPEDITING COMPANY?

Waiting six to eight weeks for a passport from the post office can feel like an eternity. While you can try to expedite it yourself for a slightly quicker two to three-week turnaround, that timeframe doesn’t include mailing, which can add another two weeks. What if you need that passport in just a couple of days?

That’s where passport expediting companies become lifesavers, ensuring a passport within two weeks, or even within just a day or two. “We personally deliver your application to the Connecticut Department of State and pick up your new passport as well,” Mrs. Snyder says.

This service is perfect for anyone facing a truly urgent travel deadline. As a registered service with a daily appointment at the Department of State, passport expediters streamline the entire process, getting travelers ready for their trip without the stress.

“Out came the Tehillim,” Mrs. Snyder shares, “and I sat for a while davening for the passport to be released so my client could make it to the simcha.” Only then did she return to her email to inform the Department of State that she would personally come down to the office with any required identification. “And wonders!” she continues, “they agreed for me to come down to Connecticut with the right IDs. I returned home with the passport, and as the woman ran to catch her flight to the simcha, I was buoyed with my own simcha for having helped her.”

This faith-driven determination isn’t a one-off. Mrs. Snyder recalls a nonobservant wealthy couple who called her in a panic. They had booked a non-refundable

SOME POLICIES AND POINTERS

FIRST-TIME PASSPORTS: If you’re using a passport expediting service for a first-time passport, you’ll still have to visit the post office first. They will verify your identity and seal your documents into an official envelope, which you will then bring directly to the expediting service. (A post office visit isn’t required for passport renewal.)

YOUR TRAVEL TICKET: To fast-track your passport application, you’ll need to show proof of urgent travel, such as a travel confirmation.

THE SIX-MONTH RULE: Many countries demand that your passport remain valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of departure. This is a hidden expiration date that can cause an airline to deny you permission to board the flight.

“We once had a family who learned about the ‘sixmonth rule’ the hard way.” Mrs. Snyder says.

“They were all set to travel for Sukkos, but at the airport, they discovered that one of the kids’ passports was set to expire in less than six months. One parent stayed behind with the child, and we promptly jumped into action, expediting a new passport so they could join their family for the second half of Yom Tov.”

YOUR NAME: Ensure that the name on your passport matches the name on your travel booking. (Note to newlywed women: If your passport is still in your maiden name, book your tickets using that name to avoid any issues.)

REAL ID VS. REGULAR ID: A REAL ID isn’t your standard driver’s license or non-driver ID. It’s a more secure form of identification, marked with a distinctive star. While in the past, a driver’s/ non-driver’s ID was sufficient for domestic travel, these days you’ll require a REAL ID or a valid passport.

HOWEVER, THE NATURE OF URGENT PASSPORT NEEDS

CAN SOMETIMES LEAD TO UNPREDICTABLE SITUATIONS

ten-night hotel stay in Mexico, to the tune of a staggering ten thousand dollars per night. Just days before their trip, however, they discovered that the husband’s passport was set to expire within the week of travel, jeopardizing the $100,000 vacation. “There wasn’t any buffer time,” she remembers. “With plenty of tefillos and a few sleepless nights, I was able to hand the grateful husband his passport without them losing their money or vacation.”

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Running a business from her dining room has its benefits.

“It’s nice,” Mrs. Snyder says. “I have the opportunity to do some kiruv.” Many of her not-frum clients enter her dining room, their eyes falling upon the bookcases lined with seforim. They become sentimental, feeling a connection to their Yiddishkeit. “I’ve even had a customer ask if I would teach her how to make and braid challah,” Mrs. Snyder adds. Numerous Shabbos invitations have been extended through her line of business.

However, the nature of urgent passport needs can sometimes lead to unpredictable situations. Mrs. Snyder recalls a Friday afternoon when her ten-year-old daughter was reading on the couch.

“The door burst open,” she says, “and there stood a huge man who was demanding to know if this was the passport expediting place. He was in the right place, but this place is also a family’s home.”

Mrs. Snyder adds that it took some time for her daughter to get over the incident.

At times, however, the urgency of her work takes her business out of the house and onto the highway.

“When time is of the essence and there’s a flight to catch,” she explains, “that’s just what I have to do.”

In one memorable instance, after securing a client’s passport from the State Department, her husband set off for Newark Airport to hand deliver the passport to a client who was driving to the airport to catch a flight. En route, the client called, saying that he made a mistake. His flight wasn’t departing from Newark, but from JFK.

“That was quite a mistake,” Mrs. Snyder says with a laugh. But undeterred, Mr. Snyder simply turned his car around and headed for JFK.

CURRENT EVENTS AND CANCELED FLIGHTS

Global headlines of the past few months have undeniably left their mark on the world of travel, and Mrs. Snyder’s business felt the ripple effects keenly.

“Covid, October 7th and the most recent war with Iran were no fun for my business,” she admits. With fewer people traveling and Ben Gurion Airport constantly closing, her client traffic naturally slowed. But as Mrs. Snyder notes, “Hashem is in charge of parnassah.”

Indeed, a new development has brought an unexpected shift in her business. As of May 7 this year, anyone flying domestically needs a passport or a REAL ID, which means people are finding themselves needing Mrs. Snyder’s services even when they’re only traveling domestically.

Sometimes, turning red tape into a red carpet isn’t as complicated as people think. Help might be just a phone call away.

LIZENSK FOR LADIES

“Many of my most popular customers are those traveling to Lizensk for Rebbi Elimelech’s yahrtzeit, where thousands gather for tefillos and inspiration,” Mrs. Snyder says. “I’ve always been curious to experience the yahrtzeit at the kever firsthand.”

Once, while flipping through a local paper, Mrs. Snyder’s eyes landed on an ad for a women’s trip to Lizensk.

“I wanted to go so badly,” she admits, “especially since travelers headed for Lizensk are a big part of my customer base.” Yet she felt she needed a sign, a clear indication from Hashem that it was the right trip at the right time.

Just ten minutes later, a customer came to her door. As she reviewed his documents, she noticed his address: Lizensk Boulevard in Monroe.

“That was my sign,” Mrs. Snyder recalls with a smile. Indeed, the trip was an experience she’ll never forget.

For decades, the Bermuda Triangle has fascinated and unsettled. Whispers of mysterious disappearances and compass malfunctions have circulated for generations, often wrapped in layers of intrigue. Why do ships and planes sometimes vanish without a trace? What makes this patch of ocean, stretching between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, so infamous in the annals of maritime and aviation history? Is there truly something strange at play, or has legend simply outpaced fact?

Beneath the surface of the myths and mysteries lies a far more grounded — and equally compelling — reality.

Modern-Day Tragedies

It was a bright summer day in July 2015 when two fourteen-yearold boys, Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen, set off from Jupiter, Florida, on a small fishing boat. The sea was calm, the boys were confident, and their families had no reason to worry. But on the horizon, a storm was beginning to form. According to news reports, weather radar had shown an incoming squall, fast-moving and potentially dangerous.

As the hours passed and the boys failed to return, concern turned to panic. The Coast Guard was alerted, and a large-scale search began — aircraft scanning the ocean from above, boats combing the coastline, and volunteers joining the effort. The search stretched across more than 50,000

square nautical miles of open sea. Despite these efforts, no trace of the boys or their vessel was initially found.

Eight months later, on March 18, 2016, a Norwegian supply ship made a haunting discovery in the open Atlantic, nearly 100 miles off Bermuda: an overturned vessel bobbing silently in the waves. It was the boys’ boat. Personal items were still inside, including a cell phone — with no clues — sealed in a compartment. No one could explain how a 19-foot boat had traveled that far, or what had happened in those final moments. The sea had kept its secret.

The tragedy ignited questions about how such a disappearance could occur in an age of satellite tracking, GPS and nonstop communication. The case also renewed the world’s fascination with the Bermuda Triangle. Was this latest loss simply a freak accident, or could it be something more elusive, something unknown?

A similarly unsettling event occurred in May 2017, when a MU-2B private aircraft vanished from radar while flying from Puerto Rico to Florida. Aboard were four people, including two young children. Debris was later recovered east of Eleuthera, Bahamas, but the sudden disappearance and lack of distress calls again stirred memories of the Triangle’s long-standing reputation. These modern incidents, while deeply tragic, are rare and stand out in part because they contrast so starkly with the safety and predictability that define travel today.

The Era of Mystery

The era that gave the Bermuda Triangle its most mysterious reputation stretches from the 1940s through the 1960s. This period saw numerous high-profile disappearances, often involving military aircraft or commercial vessels. Perhaps the most iconic case is that of Flight 19.

On December 5, 1945, six U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale for a routine training mission over the Atlantic. The weather was favorable, the pilots were experienced, and the flight plan was simple. But just over an hour into the mission, some-

thing went wrong. Radio transmissions became increasingly erratic. The flight leader, Lieutenant Charles Taylor, reported that his compass was malfunctioning.

“We seem to be off course,” he said. “Everything looks strange, even the ocean.”

The confusion deepened. The flight crew, unable to agree on their location, drifted farther from shore. Fuel ran low. A chilling final message crackled over the radio: “When the first plane drops below ten gallons, we all go down together.”

so silently? The incident became the defining mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, one that transformed a region of ocean into a realm of legend.

Despite an urgent search, no wreckage was ever found. Even more eerie, a rescue plane with thirteen crew members was dispatched — and this plane, too, vanished without a trace. Two aircraft squadrons, 27 men, lost within hours.

The Flight 19 incident shook the nation and captured the imagination of generations to come. How could two military aircraft vanish so completely,

Other notable cases include the 1948 disappearance of the British passenger plane Star Tiger en-route to Bermuda, and the 1963 loss of the SS Marine Sulphur Queen, a tanker that vanished in the Florida Straits with all 39 crew members. Even earlier, in the 1800s, there were instances of sailing ships vanishing without explanation in the western Atlantic. These were often chalked up to storms or piracy, but in the retelling, they, too, became part

of Bermuda Triangle lore.

Still, the backdrop of these incidents is worth considering. During the mid-20th century, navigation tools were far less reliable than those we rely on today. Weather could shift suddenly, and with little warning, especially in the volatile skies and waters of the Atlantic. Pilots and sailors operated with limited instrumentation and sparse communication channels. While the frequency of disappearances may seem alarming, in retrospect, many of them occurred in an era where even minor miscalculations could prove disastrous.

History of the Myth

The legend of the Bermuda Triangle has its roots not in hard science, but in storytelling. Christopher Columbus, during his first voyage to the New World, recorded strange compass readings and sightings of mysterious lights while passing through this region. These early accounts, though likely explainable through natural phenomena, planted the first seeds of curiosity.

Before the 1960s, the region wasn’t referred to by any specific name. Incidents were treated individually, and the area was broadly described as stormy or perilous. That changed in 1964, when writer Vincent Gaddis coined the term “Bermuda Triangle” in a magazine article. He later expanded on it in his book, Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea, which blended mystery and speculation more than verified fact.

Gaddis chose the triangular boundaries — Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico — not through data analysis, but because they encompassed several well-known disappearances. His method was anecdotal, aiming more to spark curiosity than to provide scientific conclusions.

The myth gained momentum in the 1970s, when best-selling authors like Charles Berlitz published works

that popularized the Triangle’s alleged mysteries. Berlitz’s 1974 nonfiction book, The Bermuda Triangle, recounted numerous dramatic cases and proposed supernatural and ex-

able, with sudden storms, waterspouts and hurricanes posing serious threats, especially before the advent of modern forecasting tools.

traterrestrial explanations. Though commercially successful, his work was widely criticized for inaccuracies and exaggeration. Nonetheless, it solidified the Triangle’s place in public imagination as a modern-day enigma.

Scientific Explanations

Despite the air of mystery that surrounds it, the Bermuda Triangle has been thoroughly examined by scientists and experts in oceanography, meteorology and aviation. Most of the incidents attributed to the Triangle have logical, natural explanations.

First, the region is heavily trafficked, both by ships and aircraft. Statistically, areas with more traffic will inevitably see more accidents. This alone can account for the high number of reported incidents. Additionally, the weather in this part of the Atlantic can be highly unpredict-

Navigational challenges also played a role in the Triangle’s history. The area is one of the few places on Earth where magnetic compasses may point toward true north rather than magnetic north. True north is fixed and points to the North Pole, while magnetic north is the direction marked by compasses and may shift slightly, depending on Earth’s magnetic fields. This discrepancy may have confused early navigators, who were accustomed to navigating with magnetic north. Combined with human error, such as miscommunication, fatigue or poor decision-making, these factors become significant contributors to past disasters.

Mechanical failures were also more common in earlier decades. Aircraft and ships did not benefit from the rigorous safety standards and redundancy systems that are standard today. Some scientists have also speculated that underwater methane gas eruptions could cause ships to lose buoyancy and sink rapidly, though this theory remains unproven.

These explanations demystify many of the disappearances once thought to defy understanding.

The Triangle Today

The question of why Bermuda Triangle disappearances have declined is just as intriguing as the stories themselves. What changed?

The answer lies in the dramatic advancements made in maritime and aviation safety over the past half-century. Modern navigation, aided by GPS, now provides

pinpoint accuracy, minimizing the compass-related errors suspected in older disappearances. Today’s aircraft and ships are equipped with multiple, overlapping systems that not only determine their precise location but also transmit that data in real time to monitoring centers on land.

Alongside these developments, communication technology has seen a revolution. From satellite phones to emergency locator beacons, crews today can send distress signals instantly, often allowing search-and-rescue teams to respond before a crisis spirals out of control. This is in stark contrast to mid-20th-century disappearances, where entire planes or ships might vanish without the chance to send a single message.

Weather forecasting has also become exponentially more accurate.

Storm systems that once took crews by surprise can now be tracked days in advance, allowing for safe route planning or mission delays. Even subtle environmental conditions — like sudden changes in ocean currents or wind shear — are now measurable and accounted for.

Investigative practices have matured as well. In the past, the lack of hard data left room for speculation, sometimes feeding supernatural narratives. Today, agencies like the NTSB and Coast Guard conduct meticulous inquiries, using data from flight recorders, radar logs, weather analysis and digital communications to piece together even the most complex incidents.

It is also important to recognize that the Bermuda Triangle is a major commercial and travel corridor. The sheer

The Bermuda Triangle in the Gemara

In Berachos 8a, the Gemara refers to a particular type of boat bound with ropes instead of metal. Rashi explains that these vessels were designed this way because they traversed a stretch of ocean where metal was ineffective or unsuitable. The Rashash (Reb Shmuel Strashun) elaborates, noting that powerful magnetic forces beneath the sea in that region could interfere with metal. Reb Michel Stern, shlit”a, has suggested that this area may in fact align with what we now refer to as the Bermuda Triangle.

volume of successful voyages — both by sea and air — dwarfs the handful of incidents that continue to be cited. Many events once linked to the Triangle have been shown, upon further review, to have happened outside the region or to have perfectly rational explanations that were initially overlooked.

Modern tragedies like those of 2015 and 2017 are reminders that nature still holds its dangers, but they are outliers in an area that has become, through science and safety, no more perilous than any other part of the Atlantic. Man’s ability to monitor, understand and respond to risk has evolved dramatically, transforming the socalled Bermuda Triangle from a place of fear into a zone of routine passage and reliable oversight.

Today, the Bermuda Triangle narrative is less a true mystery and more a reflection of how stories take shape. The disappearances were real, and in many cases, tragic. But the region itself has proven to be no more dangerous than other heavily traveled parts of the ocean. What has endured is not a pattern of vanishings, but a pattern of storytelling.

The idea of the Triangle taps into something very human: our attraction to the unknown. It invites us to wonder, to ask “what if,” even in the face of growing understanding and rational analysis. In the end, the Bermuda Triangle remains a compelling example of how mystery and fact often live side by side. And that may be the real story worth telling.

Air travel is one of the safest forms of transportation. Statistically, it’s far safer than driving, biking or even crossing a busy street on a hectic Erev Shabbos. And yet, when things go wrong in the air, they tend to go very wrong — and very fast. The rare combination of height, speed and mechanical complexity means that a mishap midair will make headlines.

Let’s take a look at some of the most notable aviation disasters from around the world. Each one left behind not just wreckage, but stories — of heroism and heartbreak, of questions answered and kushias that remained without terutzim. We’ll explore what happened, what changed because of it, and why each one still resonates.

SPAIN:

Tenerife Airport Disaster

MARCH 27, 1977

This remains the deadliest aviation accident in history — not in the air, but on the ground. On a foggy afternoon in the Canary Islands (a Spanish archipelago, just off the northwest coast of Africa), two Boeing 747s — one operated by KLM and the other by Pan Am — collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport, killing 583 people.

Both flights had been diverted to Tenerife, a small regional airport, due to a terrorist incident at the main airport in Gran Canaria. Miscommunication between the tower and flight crews, along with language barriers and unclear phrasing, led to the KLM captain beginning his takeoff while the Pan Am jet was still taxiing on the same runway.

The resulting crash was catastrophic. Only 61 people survived, all from the Pan Am plane.

Tenerife became the case study for aviation communication reforms. What are now standardized aviation terms, such as “stand by” and “cleared for take off,” became manda tory worldwide fol lowing this accident. This story remains a sobering reminder of how, even on the ground, communication can mean the difference between life and death.

USA: American Airlines Flight191 MAY 25, 1979

in 1974

On a warm afternoon in Chicago, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from O’Hare Airport, bound for Los Angeles. Less than a minute later, it became the deadliest aviation accident in U.S. history.

Seconds after liftoff, the plane’s left engine separated from the wing. It didn’t just fall off; it flipped up and over, tearing away hydraulic lines in the process. This catastrophic failure caused the plane to roll sharply to the left. The pilots fought to control the craft, but within moments, the plane plunged onto a nearby field.

All 271 people aboard perished, along with two more on the ground.

The investigation that followed revealed that during routine maintenance, improper procedures had weakened the pylon structure holding the engine in place. As a result of this tragedy, maintenance standards were overhauled, and aircraft inspection procedures became significantly stricter.

INDIA: AirIndiaFlight182

JUNE 23, 1985

In one of the darkest days in aviation history, Air India Flight 182 exploded midair off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 people aboard. The Boeing 747 had departed from Montreal, headed for Delhi with a stop in London. Unbeknownst to passengers and crew, a suitcase in the cargo hold concealed a powerful bomb.

At 31,000 feet over the Atlantic, the aircraft broke apart. Canadian investigators later concluded that Sikh (for once, not Islamic) terrorists seeking revenge for events in India had planted the device. Just hours earlier, a coordinated second bomb — meant for another Air India flight — had, b’siyata d’Shmaya, exploded prematurely in Japan.

Most of the victims were Canadian citizens of Indian descent, and the bombing remains Canada’s deadliest act of terrorism. Investigations dragged on for decades, hampered by a lack of evidence and procedural missteps. Only one person was convicted, and two others were acquitted in a high-profile trial.

The disaster led to sweeping reforms in airline security, including mandatory passenger-bag matching and tighter screening protocols.

JAPAN: Japan Airlines Flight123

AUGUST 12, 1985

Less than two months later, Japan Airlines Flight 123 took off from Tokyo, bound for Osaka. Just twelve minutes into the flight, a loud boom was heard in the cabin, and the plane began to sway violently. Unbeknownst to the crew at the time, a rear pressure bulkhead — repaired improperly seven years earlier — had failed, ripping away the vertical stabilizer and severing all four hydraulic lines. The pilots had almost no control. For 32 harrowing minutes, the crew fought to keep the aircraft airborne using engine thrust alone. Passengers scribbled goodbye notes on napkins. Then the plane clipped a ridge in the mountains and crashed into Mount Takamagahara, killing 520 of the 524 people on board. It remains the deadliest single-aircraft disaster in history.

The tragedy prompted worldwide changes in maintenance oversight and post-repair inspections. Japan Airlines was fined, and Boeing overhauled its quality-control systems. A monument now marks the crash site, and bereaved families gather for a memorial each year on the anniversary of the disaster.

Aeroflot Flight593

MARCH 23, 1994

A tragic mix of bad decisions and human error led to the crash of Aeroflot Flight 593 en route from Moscow to Hong Kong. The pilot, traveling with his children in the cockpit, allowed his teenage son to sit at the controls. The boy inadvertently deactivated the autopilot, and neither the pilot nor the copilot recognized the disengagement until it was too late. The plane nosedived and crashed into a remote part of Siberia, killing all 75 people aboard.

The disaster was a painful reminder that even so-called professionals can make irreversible mistakes in judgment. It also led to greater international scrutiny over cockpit protocol and reinforced global standards prohibiting unauthorized cockpit visitors mid-flight.

USA: Alaska Airlines Flight261

JANUARY 31, 2000

En route from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to Seattle, Washington, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 suffered a catastrophic failure in its tail stabilizer due to inadequate maintenance. The MD-83 aircraft plunged into the Pacific Ocean near California, killing all 88 passengers and crew.

The subsequent investigation revealed serious lapses in maintenance oversight and ultimately led to stricter FAA regulation of airline mechanical standards. Families of victims — including several affiliated with the Jewish community in Los Angeles, r”l — later established scholarships and memorial funds, transforming tragedy into a lasting contribution.

FRANCE: Concorde AirFrance Flight4590

JULY 25, 2000

The Concorde was the crown jewel of supersonic aviation — sleek, fast and reserved for the elite. It could fly from New York to London in just three and a half hours, about half the time of regular flights. But its legacy was forever marred on a summer day in 2000, when Air France Flight 4590 caught fire during takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Airport and crashed into a hotel in Gonesse just minutes later.

The chain of events that led to the disaster is tragic in its simplicity. A stray piece of metal from another aircraft on the runway punctured one of the Concorde’s tires during takeoff. A chunk of rubber hit the underside of the left wing, rupturing a fuel tank. Flames burst out as the aircraft climbed, and within two minutes, it plunged to the ground, killing all 109 people aboard and four more on the ground. The victims were mainly German tourists headed for a cruise in New York.

The crash shattered public confidence in the supersonic jet. Though the Concorde fleet was grounded only briefly and then returned to service, it was permanently retired just three years later.

This incident highlighted how even the most advanced aircraft could fall victim to small, overlooked hazards. In aviation, the margin for error is nearly nonexistent.

FRANCE: AirFrance Flight447

JUNE

1, 2009

Flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, Air France Flight 447 vanished over the Atlantic. For days, no one knew what had happened — until the black boxes (flight recorders built to survive crashes, fire and deep water, ensuring crucial data for accident investigation can be recovered) were retrieved from the ocean floor. The Airbus A330 had encountered turbulence, and ice crystals that had blocked its airspeed sensors. In a moment of confusion, the pilots made a series of errors that led the aircraft to stall, eventually killing all 228 people aboard. This crash sparked global debates on pilot training, reliance on automation and the psychological limits of even experienced flight crews. It also prompted widespread updates to pilot training and cockpit instrumentation worldwide.

Despite vast differences in geography, cause and circumstance, these tragedies share a common thread: lessons learned through unimaginable loss. From mechanical oversights to momentary lapses in judgment, these disasters reshaped the flight safety systems we too often take for granted. Today, air travel remains one of the safest forms of transportation — not despite these incidents, but because of them. And perhaps one takeaway we, as Yidden, can draw from these difficult stories is this: When mistakes happen, whether small or, chas v’shalom, not so small, if we use them as a springboard to grow and help others, then what once looked like a crash may truly become a chance to fly higher.

Founded in 1910 by Jesse Shwayder, a Jewish businessman from Denver, the original company went by the rather clunky name Shwayder Trunk Manufacturing Company. To prove the strength of his trunks, Jesse rounded up his four brothers and had them each stand on one. Lo and behold, there were no dents or cracks; just five dapper men and one very unbothered suitcase. A few decades later, the company introduced a new suitcase named Samsonite, which quickly became its flagship product, and inspired a rebrand of the company to Samsonite Corporation.

FUN FACT

It wasn’t just suitcases that rolled out of Samsonite’s factory. In the 1960s, Samsonite manufactured LEGO for the North American market.

LOGO

Samsonite’s swirl-style logo isn’t just a pretty spin. Designed to reflect the brand’s expanding global presence, the four swirling leaves stand for its foundational pillars: design, development, market research and publicity. It’s also a subtle nod to Samsonite’s growing reach across four continents.

STILL PACKING A PUNCH

Today, Samsonite is the largest luggage brand in the world, owning Tumi, American Tourister and others. Over 110 years later, it’s still rolling strong, with a legacy built to last and a suitcase ready for every journey.

AV YAHRTZEIT OF THE SATMAR REBBE, RAV YOEL TEITELBAUM (1887–1979)

The Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, zt”l, was a towering leader of Hungarian Jewry and a tremendous force in rebuilding Torah life in America after the war. With a heart full of love for every Yid and a fierce commitment to halacha and kedushah, he became a father figure to tens of thousands and a pillar of uncompromising emes

STREET VIEW

How many pounds of paper do you use on a regular day?

We easily go through 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of paper a day. We mostly use 12x18-inch paper, and we go through a pallet of that every day.

What is the most challenging part of the job?

Finishing each job. People think that we print it and the job’s done, but the most time-consuming part of the job comes after printing. That’s when we need to cut, bind and laminate.

What is your most popular service?

We’re always printing huge banners for one event or another. Another super popular item is yard signs. In fact, we print most of the local political yard signs.

What can’t you do without?

Our printing machines, of course. We have eighteen machines that do different jobs. Our largest machine measures 10 by 22 feet and cost $500,000. It prints everything that’s on a roll, like banners and stickers. The largest banner it can print is 16 feet wide and 300 feet long — or however long the roll of paper is.

If one of our machines breaks down, we’ll have a technician come to fix it within four hours. But sometimes that’s just not quick enough. The last time our largest machine broke down, we contacted our largest competitor, who was happy to help us out and get the job completed on time.

What was the most expensive job you’ve ever done?

Every year, we produce back-to-school planners and Yom Tov calendars for Evergreen Kosher Market. We produce 30,000 planners and calendars, which are distributed at all the supermarket locations. It takes us about a month to complete the job. We just finished producing the planners for the upcoming school year.

Can you tell us about another memorable job?

The signage for the Dirshu Siyum at the Prudential Center. We got the call just three days before the event and were tasked with producing all the signage, inside and out. That meant huge banners for the stadium interior and directional signs outside. We worked around the clock, then sent a crew to the venue to install everything. Seeing it all come together at such a large-scale and meaningful event was incredibly rewarding.

Rav Yoel was born in 1887 in Sighet, Hungary, to a family steeped in Torah greatness. His father was the Kedushas Yom Tov, Rav Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, zt”l, who was a descendant of the Yismach Moshe and Chavas Daas. Even in childhood, Rav Yoel showed extraordinary tzidkus and hasmadah, and his brilliance in learning and mastery of Shas amazed even seasoned talmidei chachamim. By age seventeen, he was already serving as a rav in the small town of Muzhayer, and in 1929, he became the rav of Satmar, the largest kehillah in the region.

After miraculously surviving the Holocaust, the Rebbe resettled in Williamsburg in 1946, where he began rebuilding Jewish life from the ashes. He established mosdos, founded Yeshiva Yetev Lev and Bais Rochel schools, and later created the Torah enclave of Kiryas Yoel.

The Satmar Rebbe is known for his sefer Vayoel Moshe, which expresses his deep opposition to Zionism based on the shalosh shavuos mentioned in the Gemara. His stand

was bold and controversial, yet grounded in Torah and driven by a deep desire to protect Klal Yisroel.

His passing marked the end of an era — a generation shaped by fire and forged in faith, with the Satmar Rebbe at its heart, guiding it with fearless conviction and boundless devotion.

IMPORTANT HEALTH INSURACE UPDATE

Fidelis is Pulling Out –Don’t Be Left Without Coverage

ATTENTION ALL MEDICAID RECIPIENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED WITH FIDELIS:

In recent months, Fidelis has begun removing coverage from many local physician groups, specialty providers, urgent care centers, therapy providers (both physical and mental), and neighborhood health clinics.

This is not temporary. Fidelis has made a business decision to withdraw from our area. They have already dropped many local practices and plan to drop even more in the coming weeks and months. As a result, many providers in our area will no longer accept Fidelis insurance.
