A ZOO-PER JOB

(Re: Creature Comforts, Issue 007)

The article about the pet therapist and the different ways animals are used in therapy was fascinating! I was amazed to “meet” a frum woman in this field. It was also so refreshing to learn about something I had only vaguely been aware of until now. What a bracha for our community to be able to access the benefits of animal therapy through someone who knows and understands our values and community from the inside.

Thank you to The Williamsburg View for bringing us such refreshing, informative, inspiring and kosher reading every week.

(Re: A Dairy Dream, Issue 007)

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and look forward to your magazine. I especially enjoyed the article on Tzehlemer Rav, zt”l. It was very well-written and explained everything so clearly.

Thank you for inspiring us each week anew.

(Re: We Want Waffles, Issue 007)

Thank you so much for publishing breakfast recipes. I know most

The Williamsburg View,

Roebling Street, Suite 119, Brooklyn, NY 11211

people don’t cook breakfast (and many people probably don’t even eat breakfast), but I do, and I appreciate those recipes very much. I made the scrambled eggs wrap quiche in the Betty Crocker, and it was delicious (and took much faster to cook).

I actually have a similar recipe, but it’s more for lunch or even a quick milchig supper:

Slice 3 to 4 potatoes thinly. Place them in a bag with oil, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika. Mix well, and cook in the Betty Crocker for a few minutes until crisp, then flip over. Whisk approximately six eggs, and pour over the potatoes. Top with sliced cheese, and cook for a few minutes until the eggs look ready. You can adjust the amount of eggs according to your liking.

NO MORE HOMESICKNESS

(Re: POV, Issue 006)

The responses for how to ease your child’s homesickness were very interesting. Besides the ideas for what to do when your child is actually homesick, I have a preventive strategy as well. Before your child leaves to camp, display confidence that you are sure they will be able to cope. Whenever you’re talking about camp, sprinkle the conversation with affirmations like, “You’re going to have a great time,” “Your bunkmates are going to love you,” “You’re good at taking care of yourself.” This is also important for children who are not going to camp. Never miss a chance to say, “You’re so independent/organized/chilled/creative,” “Everyone who meets you, likes you,” or “Your teacher/counselor is so lucky to have you in their class/bunk.”

If your child expresses worry or anxiety about how they’ll manage in camp, or is in camp and is already homesick, of course you should listen to their feelings and comfort them. But don’t fall into the trap of long, extended, circular conversations that go nowhere, and make sure to end the conversation with the affirmation that you know they’ll be okay (even though this kind of crying or hysterical conversation can really shake you up!).

It’s also important to avoid comments that make your child doubt their ability to manage away from home. For example, if you keep up a steady stream of instructions about what to do in every possible scenario, you’re basically communicating to your child that you don’t think they can handle the situation on their own. A single conversation, maybe with an additional reminder right before they leave, about who they can turn to if they need help should be enough.

Wishing everyone a successful summer!

MORE ON PEER PRESSURE

(Re: Between Me and You, Issue 005)

Thank you for your beautiful magazine and specifically for the series Between Me and You, which is consistently eloquent and well-written with amazing clarity and full of Yiddishe warmth and hashkafah

In this week’s article, in discussion of community belonging, the article didn’t fully explore the impact of peer pressure. While belonging has its benefits, it also has drawbacks. This is especially highlighted in our tight-knit frum commu-

nity, where people from vastly different socioeconomic backgrounds often share the same communal spaces. In one shul, you might find a multi-millionaire sitting next to a kollel yungerman. Unlike in the broader society, where people tend to live in separate neighborhoods according to their income and lifestyle, our community lives, davens and interacts in the same shared spaces. The close proximity and visibility create a heightened sense of contrast and peer pressure.

I would greatly appreciate if the therapist would elaborate and better define how one can navigate the negative aspects of living so closely together and resist undue influence from peer pressure.

TOBY TANNENBAUM, LCSW, RESPONDS:

Thank you for your letter. You highlight a major struggle that exists within our schools, neighborhoods and shuls: peer pressure. The tendency to compare what we have or do to what others have or do is a real struggle. It’s easy to get swept into what has become “normal,” even when it goes against our personal views and values. Here are a few practical suggestions to help you cope with the challenges of peer pressure.

Write down what is important to you, highlighting your priorities. Knowing your values and priorities gives you a clear foundation when outside influences feel overwhelming. Building inner confidence is also essential; invest in yourself and what is important to you. The more grounded you are in your own identity, the less likely you are to be swayed by external pressure. Finally, be intentional about who you surround yourself with. Choose friends who share your values and support your growth. True friends support and value you for who you are, not for what you have.

Resisting peer pressure isn’t always easy, but staying true to yourself is always worth it.

STILL SINGING ALONG

(Re: The Chimes of Summertime, Issue 005)

I just had to write and say how much I enjoyed your article about old summer chants! It swept me back to treasured

moments of childhood. I had such a fantastic time reliving those days.

Warm regards,

A TASTE OF SUMMER

(Re: The Chimes of Summertime, Issue 005)

Huge shout-out to your amazing publication. We (and many others we know) immensely enjoyed reminiscing about the chants of our youth! Skip, skip to the barbershop, to buy a penny lollipop… Left, left, I left my wife with 48 kids, right, right, right in middle of the kitchen floor… What fun! All of Babby M’s einiklach and uhr-einiklach are surely singing along as they read this.

Thanks for giving us the most wonderful flavor of summer! Y.R.

YOUR SAY

A SAFE SWIM

As the swimming season begins, I want to alert pool owners and swimmers of a safety hazard. In many pools, the shallow water leads into the deep with a steep incline. It’s of utmost importance for all swimmers, adults and children alike, to be made aware of this. The rope is there to indicate where the slope begins. It’s worthwhile to invest in buoys (balls on the rope) to make the demarcation more visible.

The rope should be tied tightly across the pool, without sagging. If the rope is loose, it moves past the end of the shallow and over the deep, misleading the swimmer about where the deep end begins. When the swimmer attempts to stand, they may find themselves on the slope, and may easily begin to slide, panic and go under.

Marking the ledge on the sides of the pool to indicate where the slope begins is an excellent idea. Pool owners who still have the chance should consider painting a wider red or black stripe on the bottom of the pool, before the incline, so swimmers can clearly see where the shallow section ends and the deep begins.

May Hashem grant us all a healthy and happy summer.

CAN YOU SHARE A SUMMER TOYS ORGANIZING HACK?

While I don’t have any original tips for organizing, over the years, I did figure out a way to keep those outdoor toys in good shape through the summer. I put effort into training my kids to park their bikes in a secure spot, and I make sure they do it every single day. Otherwise, bikes are bound to get lost, damaged or broken. Bikes can last several seasons if they’re taken care of.

Oh, and labels! Do yourself a favor and label all of your belongings that you keep outdoors.

There are some great and inexpensive outdoor toy organizers available on Amazon. I have one for balls, and it keeps them neat and easy to access.

I use an extra outdoor planter to store outdoor toys. It makes them accessible without being an eyesore.

If you have a backyard with a fence, you can hang up some hooks on it to store pool accessories. It’s so convenient for goggles, tubes and even for hanging small pools to dry.

A large mesh bag works great for beach and swimming toys as it prevents them from getting moldy.

I have a designated container for indoor summer activities like Perler beads, Play-Doh and other crafts. The outdoor toys — balls, jump ropes and rolling jets — are kept on the porch.

We keep our summer toys such as chalk, water balloons and bubbles on a shelf in the coat closet. I love that it’s right near the door and that those items don’t make their way into the house.

I used to lose some of our bikes every season, so we recently installed hooks on the ceiling indoors for each bike. It doesn’t take up floor space and stays safe overnight.

Since coat closet hooks are not in use now in the summer for coats and school bags (if you don’t have hooks, it’s a worthwhile investment), I use them to store our summer toys. I have separate mesh bags for sand toys, bubbles, chalk, etc., and I hang them on the hooks. I keep the kids’ swim bags on the hooks, too.

I keep a plastic hamper on my porch where I keep all the water toys. This way, they stay ventilated and are able to dry.

I like to keep chalk, bubbles, water balloons and other small outdoor toys in one big container. I prefer one that has a handle, so I can carry everything outside at once.

At the start of the summer, we organize the supplies closet. With all the space we gain, we clear one shelf where we keep bubbles, chalk and other summer activities.

PARSHAS KORACH

A Good Eye

Y. Levenstein

In the drama of the machlokes with Korach, a question arises. Rashi, citing the midrash, asks: Korach was an intelligent person. How did he get involved in such a foolish quarrel? The midrash answers: His eyes deceived him. In what way was it specifically Korach’s sense of vision that led him in the wrong direction?

CONDITIONS WERE FAR FROM COMFORTABLE. When young Chaim traveled from Galicia to learn in a yeshivah in Poland, he discovered that dormitory life was far from easy. The boys were dependent on locals for food, with each student assigned to a family to eat their meals, a system called “essen teg.” The fact that your typical Polish housekeeper barely had bread for her own family meant the bachurim needed to subsist on less than the bare basics.

The sleeping arrangements weren’t much better. The lucky boys, generally seniors in yeshivah already, got an entire bench in the beis midrash that they could consider their own bed. But there were far from enough benches for all talmidim, and Chaim had to find himself a place to sleep.

Chaim landed in the barn house of the local dairy farmer, whose farm was located at the edge of town. Every evening, when night fell, Chaim would walk the half-hour it took to get to the farm. There, he was given some wooden boards, under a table, where he could sleep. In exchange, he was tasked with guarding the barn so no strangers would enter in the middle of the night. It was a frightening place to be, and to top it all off, the barn was sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter.

To Chaim, it was all worth it, though, for in yeshivah, he could shteig, and indeed, he threw himself into his learning with true hasmadah.

The part that bothered Chaim most was the time he spent going to and from his “bed,” even more than the adverse weather and his depleted energy level after a day’s meager nutrition.

Finally, after two years, Chaim was delighted to learn that a bench had been vacated in the ezras nashim. Now, he would no

longer need to trek across town to sleep near the cows. He would save himself time and energy, and sleep like a mensch right on the bench in beis midrash. And he could now add more time to his learning!

Chaim fell into his new routine easily. Then, one day, he met a great gaon who had come to Poland for medical reasons. His vision was failing him, and he hoped the doctors could help him find a cure. In the meantime, he had no place to stay. Since he could not see well, he didn’t feel all that comfortable moving into someone’s house.

Without thinking much, Chaim immediately offered his “bed” in the beis midrash, and he returned to his old host, the dairy farmer.

It was not an easy decision. Chaim hadn’t forgotten the cold and fear he had to put up with in the barn, nor the time he would forfeit. Yet he felt an inner joy at being able to perform this chesed

Time passed, and the skies of Poland grew overcast. The danger of a world war hovered menacingly. When the Germans arrived in town, they invaded the yeshivah and chose a korban — Chaim, one of the top boys around. The Nazi beasts accused him of being a spy and proclaimed that he would be put to death.

Chaim pleaded for mercy and tried to prove that he was no spy, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. Chaim was doomed.

As the Nazi lifted his revolver, Chaim lifted his heart in prayer. “Ribbono Shel Olam, perhaps I don’t have many zechusim, but please, remember the bed! Remember that even though it was so difficult for me, I gave up my bench in the beis midrash. Please save me!”

Chaim was shaken out of his reverie by a whisper in his ear. He was shocked to see the German uniform of the man who was about to take his life bending over beside him.

“Run! Run for your life! I know you’re innocent. Just make sure you are never seen around here again!”

Chaim listened to the instructions and began to run as quickly as his legs could carry him. He heard a gunshot, fired in the air so the officer’s supervisor would hear and think the job was done.

Real Flavor Bursting Goodness!

As the Nazi lifted his revolver, Chaim lifted his heart in prayer.

“Ribbono Shel Olam, perhaps I don’t have many zechusim, but please, remember the bed!”

The war years passed, and in time, young Chaim grew up to become the posek hador who lit up the world with his brilliance in Torah and chesed — the Rav of Antwerp, Rav Chaim Kreiswirth, zt”l. He repeated this anecdote and explained, “That ayin tova that I had toward a fellow Yid, as I was mevater my bed — that was what saved my life. As Shlomo Hamelech tells us in Mishlei (22:9), ‘Tov ayin hu yevorach — He who has a generous eye will be blessed.’”

* * * * *

How great it is to have an ayin tova — to fargin and be mevater, even when it’s difficult. It can only bring siyata d’Shmaya

On the other hand, when one has the opposite quality, and succumbs to an ayin ra, the Mishnah in Avos (2:11) says, “Ayin ra’ah… motzi’in es ha’adam min ha’olam.”

The meforshim explain that ayin ra’ah means one cannot stand by and watch as someone else has it better than him. He wants it too! The end result is that he won’t be able to carry on in this world.

As the midrash attests, Korach fell into the machlokes since he had an ayin ra’ah. He did not fargin Elitzafon for being appointed as nasi or Aharon Hakohen for becoming the kohen gadol, and that is what lured him into the entire dispute.

If one believes that everything comes from Above and nobody can take that which is bashert for another, he will never be jealous of others and will lead a happy, satisfied life.

Doing laundry with the right appliances makes every task dreamlike. How would you know what the right appliances are? That’s where Steel comes in.

Roiza’s fall forces Kaily to cancel her shidduch meeting.

One week ago, in her excited naiveté, Perela had thought business class tickets were the greatest waste of money. Now, fourteen hours (with two more to go) into the second leg of the flight home, she thanked Tziri from the bottom of her heart – silently. She couldn’t exactly tell Tziri, Thanks for these seats. It’s lovely having a couple of feet between the two of us!

She couldn’t thank Tziri aloud, that much she knew. But there were so many things she didn’t know. Like, what now? Where was she headed?

Why was her brain a muddled mess of thoughts too deep for her liking?

She needed something to chew. There was nothing like physically chewing while chewing over thoughts.

Perela removed her new Valentino carryon from the overhead compartment. The instinctive thrill of pleasure when she smelled the new leather disgusted her.

As part of their shopping spree yesterday, Tziri had taken her to an old Chinese acquaintance. He had an entire, legitimate storefront full of items that were so junky, they wouldn’t make it home. But as soon as he spotted Tao and Tziri, his entire manner changed. He and Tao silently communicated, and then he ushered them into the store, which was located behind a wall and down a staircase. There, he showed them an entire load of goods such as this set of suitcases.

Perela had been terrified of being held hostage, but Tziri was totally at ease as she examined the Cartier watches.

When they reached this set of luggage, Tziri

almost hugged her. She pointed to each of the identifying markers with obvious glee, “Even if it’s not genuine, no one will be able to tell the difference!”

So she’d accomplished one goal of her trip. She replaced her suitcase.

But why the thrill?

A week with Tziri had given Perela a glimpse of where endless materialism would lead her. Would she also need a Louis Vuitton set in a few years? Would she come to view Ezriel as an ATM machine and her kids as nothing more than props in her life?

My poor kids. Poor Ezriel. Would she be caught in this vortex of endless, insatiable needs when really, the longer she spent with Tziri, the more disgusted she felt by the chase? Was she the only woman who was so torn inside?

Perela removed a soggy, crumbled Danish and some candy, zipped the carryon closed again and hoisted it back into the overhead compartment.

“Nice bag,” Tziri said casually.

Perela said nothing. All day yesterday, Tziri had kept dropping such comments, and Perela knew that Tziri had picked up on her sudden aloofness and wanted to remind Perela of all the benefits that came with her friendship.

“Ahh! We’re almost home!” Perela said finally with false cheer, just to fill some of the silence that had settled heavily between the two seats.

Tziri nodded. “Yeah, I can’t wait to be back at the store tomorrow. I want to plan where we’ll put all the merchan-

THE CASCADE OF GUILT CONTINUED. IT WASN’T VERY NICE OF HER TO IGNORE TZIRI LIKE THAT. AFTER ALL, SHE’D GIFTED HER WITH A MEMORABLE WEEK, IF NOTHING ELSE

CHANIE SPIRA

dise next season, and start talking to clients about the new items we have to offer. I can’t wait! And… we hardly lose time at all! It’s funny each time again. We travel a full day, and lose less than a half day!”

Perela tuned her out. For one, she was not going to work tomorrow. Or the day after.

Maybe never.

For her, the word home triggered excitement and dread. She couldn’t wait to scoop up Yanky for her kids to unwrap their gifts.Her heart ached physically from homesickness.

But for how long? She’d learned some tough lessons, but was she ready and thrilled to don a house top and slinky skirt — minus the makeup — and slip straight into the kitchen for the rest of her life?

Perela shifted in her seat and took another bite.

The cascade of guilt continued. It wasn’t very nice of her to ignore Tziri like that. After all, she’d gifted her with a memorable week, if nothing else. But Tziri was the physical face of all her struggles, and it was hard to talk to her.

Perela had been decidedly cool all of Shabbos. On Motzei Shabbos, Tziri had called Tao before Havdalah, causing a significant temperature drop between the two of them. Tziri had gotten her stupid deal close to midnight, and they’d missed a gala melaveh malka at the Chabad house.

The touring and shopping on Sunday had been a pleasant distraction.

“What are you thinking about?” Tziri asked now.

“About the gown, of course,” Perela answered glibly.

Hatzolah rushed them all into an ER cubicle seconds after arrival. As promised, the trauma team was waiting, and Kaily quickly relayed to the doctors all the details she knew. At the same time, transport arrived, and Eli accompanied her mother to the radiology suite where she had an X-ray and CT scan in record time.

Kaily knew the speed of service was not a good sign. It only heightened her fears.

It took a little while for the doctor to meet with them after all the tests were done, which Kaily hoped was a good sign. When the curtain finally parted, she and Eli sat up.

The Indian resident she’d met before greeted her. He quickly examined Roiza, who was sleeping. “There’s good news and bad news. Which one first?”

KAILY NODDED. SHE KNEW THE DRILL. IT HAD BEEN HER LIFE ALL SUMMER. YIDDY CLAIMING WORK, ELI BUSY WITH CHUNI, PERELA BUSY WITH, WELL, PERELA

Tziri’s face lit up. “Yes! Now that’s something worth thinking about! I still can’t believe it. In all my years, I never saw such a perfect imitation. A Zimmerman beauty for two hundred bucks! Can you imagine your sister’s face when she sees it?”

The gown was another magnificent deal struck in one of the markets in Guangzhou. As soon as Perela had spotted the gown, she knew it would be perfect for Kaily. The delicate beading around the neck, the fine raw silk fabric, and all those seams; it looked like it had been custom designed for her sister.

She knew how badly Kaily needed a new gown for Sruly’s wedding. She also knew Kaily wasn’t buying one.

Spontaneously, she removed a little pad from her handbag and penned a note.

Dear Kaily,

For being my big sister and role model. Your care for Mommy is something we can never thank you for. May our family only share simchas.

Love, Perela

She stuck it into her pocket.

She willed the plane to speed up. She couldn’t wait to see her sister’s face. Her mother’s face. Maybe she would even stop by that very night.

Kaily had no strength for games, so Eli said, “The good news, please.”

“So, no broken bones. Your mother’s wrist and ankle are both sprained, and with her condition, it will take a while to recover.”

“So that’s the good news?” Kaily couldn’t help asking. Long recovery with lots of pain… not her idea of good news.

The doctor nodded.

“Now for the bad news… she has quite a major concussion. Plus, there’s a small brain bleed in the frontal lobe.”

“What does that mean? Is any of the damage… permanent? Will she recover?”

“Yes. She’ll likely recover,” the doctor assured them. “It may take some time, though. For now, you can expect confusion, weakness and extreme fatigue.” He handed them a stack of papers. “You can read up on concussions here. As for the brain bleed, she’ll need to be admitted until that clears up. About three to four days. The doctors in Neurology will let you know what to expect.”

So her mother was being admitted. Her life was on hold again — or maybe still. Sruly was getting married in five weeks, and he was coming home for Shabbos. She tried not to think about where she was supposed to be now.

If you were supposed to be there, you would’ve been there. It obviously wasn’t bashert.

“We’ll let you know as soon as there’s a bed available in Neurology,” the doctor said before leaving.

Kaily knew what that meant. It was a euphemism for “many hours.”

“Kaily,” Eli said as soon as the doctor left, “as soon as she’s settled, I have to leave. Blimy needs me in the morning. There’s no way she can manage sending off the kids and Chuni at once.” His tone was so apologetic, she felt bad.

Kaily nodded. She knew the drill. It had been her life all summer. Yiddy claiming work, Eli busy with Chuni, Perela busy with, well, Perela.

Suddenly, she was so angry at her sister.

“Perela doesn’t even know,” she hissed. “Typical. Typical Perela to fly back from China while we’re in the hospital with

Ma. The only person she cares about is herself!”

Eli looked mildly shocked at her outburst. “It’s not like she travels every day. Everyone’s entitled once in a while.”

Everyone except me.

“Once in a while?” she asked scathingly. “Every time I ask her for a favor, she leaves me feeling like the one using her.”

Eli lowered his eyes to his sefer

They sat silently until a nurse poked her head in. “The doctor asked for a list of meds your mother takes. He also wants whatever records you have. Did you bring those along?”

They hadn’t. She’d literally brought just herself — dressed in her Shabbos clothes.

Kaily shook her head. “I guess one of us can go home to get everything.”

She looked at Eli for confirmation. It was close to eleven o’clock by now, and she felt bad he would have to go to the house and then travel back, all in one night. But what other choice was there?

“Look, we don’t have much of a choice,” he said, echoing her thoughts. “Write a list of things we need, and I’ll go.”

Kaily scribbled a list and handed it to him. “Oh, wait! Also her hand cream and lip balm. She gets so dry in the hospital.”

Eli raised his hands. “I don’t even know what those things are.”

He would never get it right.

“I guess I’ll go, then,” Kaily said tiredly already dialing a taxi. “Anyway, I should change. But if anything happens here, call me immediately,” she warned.

The taxi had barely pulled out whel Eli called.

“Mommy suddenly started talking gibberish. She keeps asking about you. She sounds really insistent. Keeps saying it’s very important. Something about a necklace… Kaily, necklace, Kaily, necklace… I hope she isn’t hallucinating.”

C. G. HOFFMAN

If it would be possible to build a city on exaggerated superlatives, then that city would be Dubai. Nothing is small or understated in this city that went from fishing huts to the world’s most luxurious destination seemingly overnight. In Dubai, everything is bigger, shinier and more expensive than anywhere else, and to live modestly is simply not a concept that a Dubai resident can understand.

From the world’s tallest skyscraper to the world’s largest shopping mall, Dubai boasts quite a few Guinness World Records. They’ve got bragging rights to many “world’s largests”: world’s tallest skyscraper, world’s deepest pool, world’s largest fountain, and the dubious distinction of the world’s largest frame (the Dubai Frame, 492 feet, 10 inches tall).

Dubai has even broken with the Arab world’s longterm discrimination against Jews. Some Arab countries have long had an official policy of banning obviously looking Jews or anyone with Israeli passports from their countries. Dubai, in contrast, has for many years been home to a small but vibrant Jewish community, who mostly lived under the radar while conducting business in Dubai. But since the Abraham Accords (a peace agreement facilitated by President Trump during his first term that normalized relations between Israel and a number of Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco), Jews from all over the world have been flocking to this tourist haven, with access to everything a Jew needs, from kosher food to minyanim.

How did a city, which just a few generations ago was a quiet fishing village, roar to the top of the world in power, wealth and tourism dollars?

Liquid Gold: The Lifeblood of a Luxury Economy

Dubai is not actually a country. It’s one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located on the Arabian Peninsula, on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Until the 1950s, it was a quiet port city whose economy depended on fishing and pearl diving.

Then, in 1966, they struck gold. Liquid gold.

hotels such as the Burj al Arab, which calls itself a seven-star hotel for its over-the-top opulence — even though the hotel industry officially only recognizes up to five stars. In the world of finance, Dubai has become a major hub in the Middle East by implementing policies that are favorable to foreign investors.

Most of Dubai’s action occurs indoors, as the heat can reach a blistering 120 degrees during the summer months. Its yearround residents are smart enough to avoid the streets altogether, moving from their air conditioned luxury cars to the city’s lavish air-conditioned malls, and retiring during the hottest time of the day for their afternoon nap. In this desert city of hyperbole, one can even go skiing, although not a single

The irony was that nobody had been looking for oil in the first place. The Emirati rulers had turned to foreign companies to drill for what they thought the desert country needed most: water. But instead of finding water, they found oil. Lots and lots of oil. So much oil, in fact, that they soon became one of the biggest exporters of oil to an industrialized world hungry for oil to power its automobiles and machinery.

Early in its oil discovery heyday, Dubai’s rulers made a wise decision that would influence the country’s direction for the next few decades and cement its role as a world leader in finance and tourism. Instead of building an economy solely reliant on oil, Dubai diversified its economy through investing oil dollars in other sectors such as tourism and hospitality, real estate and finance. Dubai is in a constant state of construction, and its skyscrapers are among the tallest in the world. One of these is the world’s tallest, the Burj Khalifa, which soars to 2,722 feet (just over half a mile!). They have also built world-class luxury

snowflake has ever fallen in Dubai. In Mall of the Emirates (one of the world’s largest), you can try your skill on the slopes at Ski Dubai, the world’s largest indoor ski resort, where temperatures are maintained at freezing point throughout the year.

There is very little in Dubai that is original and natural. It’s probably the most artificial city in the world. The government has carved a brilliant, high tech city straight out of the desert sands. Canals are cut into the ground, all the better to showcase brightly lit fountains that pulsate to the beat of music. Similarly, lush beds of flowers are replanted every year, since the desert heat is too punishing for even the hardiest flowers to survive for too long. It’s a man-made city, paid for by the liquid gold found in the earth, and developed by an emirate that has shrewdly invested in the city’s future.

The Jewish Traveler in Dubai

Mimi T.*, who is a partner in a fashion company, says that Dubai has been one of the most fascinating trips she has ever taken.

“First of all, it was the cleanest city I’ve ever seen,” she says. “There is not a speck of trash on the streets, and litterers are heavily fined. The people were extremely welcoming and friendly, even though we looked very obviously like frum Jews.”

“Anyone Jewish in Dubai will end up at Chabad,” Mimi says. “They host enormous, beautifully presented Shabbos seudos, often serving up to a

thousand people at a time. When my husband and I were there, there were over 700 guests. They told us that that was nothing, and the week before they had hosted 1,200.”

Since arriving in 2014, Rabbi Levi Duchman has been the resident chief rabbi for both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He heads the UAE’s first official kashrus organization, secures permits to allow Yidden to daven together, and hosts thousands of Jewish and Israeli travelers. He has established close ties with influential Emiratis and enjoys a great relationship with government officials. He has also established a Jewish school for the children of Israeli expats and built mikvaos

Although Jews say that they feel very comfortable in Dubai, most still prefer to avoid ostentatious displays and stay mainly

under the radar. If this was true in the past, then it is all the more so after the horrific events of October 7, and the outpouring of worldwide antisemitism in its aftermath. Earlier this year, the tragic murder of Rabbi Tzvi Kogan, a Chabad rabbi in Dubai, underscored that Jews still have reason to remain cautious. This is despite the fact that the UAE was swift to act, quickly arresting three Uzbek nationals and executing them for the murder.

“I felt safer on the streets of Dubai than on the streets of New York,” Mimi remarks. “There is practically no crime, and homelessness is nonexistent. Since Dubai was built out of nothing, everyone is there for a purpose. People are either there for business, or have a job servicing the population. There is no such thing as people simply loitering around with nothing to do, and that contributes to the low crime rate.”

The Other Side of Paradise

If Dubai seems like a paradise on earth, it may be because their tourism apparatus has cleverly marketed it as such. Dubai may be a paradise for wealthy businessmen or lei-

surely travelers, but what about the people who make the city run? What kind of paradise does Dubai offer to the cleaners who keep the streets spotless and the construction workers who hang from the city’s thousand-foot cranes?

My first inkling that all that glittered in Dubai was not gold was established in a short Uber ride I once caught in Chicago. The Pakistani driver told me he came to America after working for a few years in Dubai. “Even though we’re also Muslim, they treat us like dogs. If you are not

Employers are now obligated to give more time off and provide their workers with decent accommodations, along with stricter penalties for violations.

Beyond the Burj

Dubai continues to invest heavily in its infrastructure and technology. Work has started on the Dubai Metro Blue line, a $5 billion transportation network, and Dubai has recently invested $190 million dollars in new bridges. They continue to invest in cutting-edge projects, with a specific focus on technology that makes the arid desert more livable, such as massive desalination plants, vertical farms and solar energy. The enormous 4,000-acre Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is expected to generate enough solar energy by 2030 to power 800,000 homes.

For tourists, Dubai offers an unparalleled slew of attractions. Most prominent of all is the Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world. For those who don’t suffer from vertigo, you can ride one of their 57 elevators to the top, at a speed of 32 feet per second, to the observation deck on the 148th floor. The deck offers a breathtaking view of the glittering city, with its iconic skyscrapers, canals and waterfront. For the even more intrepid, daredevils can literally walk on the edge of the building’s outdoor terrace at a height of over 700 feet, while suspended from safety harnesses.

An experience you can’t miss, says Mimi, is the Kosher Desert Safari. As the day winds down and the weather cools, guests are whisked off to a breathtaking desert camp. There, the visitors can ride on camels, enjoy the beautiful desert scenery, and partake in a luscious kosher barbecue.

Dubai has perfected the art of creating something out of nothing. The Palm Jumeirah is an archipelago of man-made islands in the shape of a palm tree, artificially built out of a staggering 94 million cubic meters of sand dredged up from the ocean floor. It is now home to a network of upper class villas, and the crown jewel at the the top of the “palm tree” is the luxury Atlantis Hotel.

The last word in luxury in Dubai is the Burj al Arab hotel. Pronounced the “world’s first seven-star hotel,” the cheapest room will set you back at least $1,500 per night, with the

The United Arab Emirates is only 53 years old.

The Dubai weekend is officially two and a half days long, from Friday noon until Sunday night.

There are nearly ten times more foreigners in Dubai than locals

In 1965, the population of the Emirates was 150,000. It now stands at over 10 million. That’s one of the highest population growths in the world!

There is no personal income tax in Dubai.

The Dubai police drive what are probably the fanciest police cars in the world: Ferraris, Lamborghinis and even one Aston Martin.

Every year, at least ten skyscrapers are built in Dubai

It hardly ever rains in Dubai, and they typically get less than 4 inches of rain per year. Rainfall is a big deal in Dubai, and when it rains, the city is practically paralyzed.

Dubai has some ATM’s that dispense gold.

Emiratis love to show off their wealth, and one of the ways they do so is by paying for an exclusive license plate number. The most expensive license plate was auctioned off for $15 million and features

a simple “7.” (It’s all for a good cause; the proceeds of the auction go for charity.)

Dubai is sometimes called the crane capital of the world, because it has nearly 25% of the world’s cranes in operation.

If all that luxury is not enough for you, then the hotel also offers a “pillow menu” with a choice of seventeen different pillows to ensure the sweetest dreams

most expensive suite going for a cool $24,000. The two-story Royal Suite gives you quite a bang for your buck, with its own private elevator, your very own butler for the duration of your stay, and a gold-plated shower (an absolute necessity). The building has become an iconic part of Dubai’s skyline. At 1,053 feet, it was the world’s tallest hotel when it was built, and its famously curved shape was built to echo the shape of a dhow, a traditional Arab sailing boat. If all that luxury is not enough for you, then the hotel also offers a “pillow menu” with a choice of seventeen different pillows to ensure the sweetest dreams.

The Future of Dubai

Dubai is a city at the crossroads between the old and the new, bridging old traditions and modern technology. They have managed to mostly hold on to their traditional values while embracing modern technology and Western investment. Dubai is constantly working to upgrade its offerings and secure its place as the prime destination for investors and tourists.

What does the future hold for Dubai? Can they remain open to the West while holding on to their heritage? Can they maintain their place as the luxury playground of the entire world? Can they really create a utopian society where everyone can enjoy endless pleasures and opportunities?

And if they can… is there any value in that?

Shop N Save Weekly

The city of Dubai is that competitive kid in the class with all the glittery stuff, boasting about his fancy new watch, his huge jawbreaker or oversized soda cans. Titleowner of the tallest buildings, the largest fountains and dozens of other entries in the Guinness World Records, Dubai holds the world record for breaking world records.

Dubai dazzles its visitors, creating a new spectacle to ogle at as soon as the old one gets old. And it sure is attractive! Dubai has millions of tourists every year who come to gawk at its unique sights and enjoy its thrills.

Here’s a glimpse of what it is like to experience the marvels of Dubai.

CHAYA BEER

UP, UP AND AWAY:

Dubai Airport

Landing in Dubai Airport brings you straight into a world of records. Watching the teeming crowds of tourists, you’ll be sure that it’s the busiest airport you’ve ever seen — and indeed, it is! Dubai Airport has held the record for the world’s busiest airport for years, with well over 60 million visitors in 2024.

With all that traffic, it’s good to know that the airport in Dubai is also the second-largest building in the world by floor space. So there’s plenty of legroom, shopping spaces and even an indoor garden so that no visitor to Dubai is bored, even for a moment.

Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa is your worst nightmare if you’re afraid of heights. Holding the world record for the tallest freestanding structure around, it’s the building closest to the sky. Despite many worldwide attempts and promises to build a building bigger than the Burj Khalifa, the towering skyscraper has kept its lofty title since its opening in 2010.

To reach the 124th floor of the building, you’ll be invited to try the world’s fastest elevator, which zooms up those 124 floors in 60 seconds. The elevator travels at 22 miles per hour and has been described as an experience of its own.

Easily the most famous attraction of the city, the Burj Khalifa is unmissable in the Dubai skyline, towering above the other skyscrapers at its dizzying height of 2,722 feet. That’s almost half a mile high!

WAY UP THERE:

Burj ObservationKhalifa’s Deck

If you’re visiting the world’s tallest tower, you definitely want to experience the thrill of feeling literally on top of the world and getting a bird’s-eye view of attraction-dense Dubai. Luckily, the Burj Khalifa boasts the world’s highest observation deck, at 1,821 feet in the air. You’ll be so high up you’ll know why visiting the observation deck is called a “journey into the clouds.”

BLOOMING BEAUTY:

Dubai Miracle Gardens

Eye-popping color is everywhere you look in Dubai’s Miracle Gardens, home to over 150 million flowers in full bloom. This is not just another flower garden; it’s Dubai’s flower garden, which means — you guessed it — that it’s the largest flower garden in the world. Aside from its record-breaking size, the flower garden holds another two world records. The first is the world’s longest flower wall, at almost a half a mile long, which is full of an assortment of colorful flowers. The second is a huge Mickey Mouse replica created completely from flora that holds the proud title of being the tallest topiary art in the world. It towers over its visitors at almost 30 feet high!

EYING THE CITY:

Ain Dubai

Crane your neck; can you see that topmost car of the Ain Dubai Ferris Wheel? Soaring 820 feet into the sky, you’ll definitely skip this one if you’re acrophobic. It’s another way to travel into the clouds and take in your bird’s-eye view of the city. As the world’s tallest observation wheel, Ain Dubai gives you a 360-degree vantage point as you travel up and around for its 38-minute ride. Besides its unbeatable height, Ain Dubai also offers air-conditioned luxury cabins on its trip through the Dubai sky. Some of its cabins are fully outfitted to host parties, so you might want to make your next graduation party here. Talk about reaching for the sky.

FRAME IT:

The Dubai Frame

Created out of two towers that are connected by a bridge at the top, the Dubai Frame is the largest picture frame in the world. With so many unique attractions in the city, Dubai needed another exhibition just to frame its monuments and skyline. That’s what the Dubai Frame was built to do. The nearly-500-foot-tall frame stands between the old and new parts of the city and frames both.

To keep to the theme of showcasing everything the city has to offer, visitors to the frame are treated to a tour of the past, present and future of the city. Themed exhibits inside the frame take you through Dubai’s history, its current accomplishments, and its futuristic ambitions.

Of course, you don’t want to forget to get another peek out at the city from the bridge. Enjoy your view!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION:

The Palm Fountain

The Palm Fountain at The Pointe in Dubai is a dazzling, dancing fountain show that surpasses every other similar attraction, earning the Guinness World Record for the largest fountain in the world. At the fountain, music is piped out of speakers, and the water spraying out of these fountains dances to the beat.

Here’s where Dubai broke its own record. Until 2020, the Dubai Fountain was the biggest in the world, until the Palm Fountain came along and broke that record, at 24,000 square feet in size.

But shiny title aside, the stunning spectacle of a huge dancing fountain would get plenty of attention too.

WAY DOWN THERE:

The Dubai Aquarium

This aquarium is essentially a colossal fish tank, so colossal that it’s the largest indoor aquarium in the world, holding over 2.5 million gallons of water. That’s the Dubai Aquarium for you, located in the huge Dubai Mall.

You can get your view of sea life by walking through a 157-foot-long underwater tunnel that offers a 270-degree view. But if you’re the daring type, the Dubai Aquarium actually offers cage diving, where you get to dive right into the sea creatures’ cages and see them as close up as possible. Here’s where you can even get really close to the sharks, with three supervised shark dives offered every day in the Dubai Aquarium.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

By: Chaya Beer

How do you start your day? Coffee first thing, or yogurt for breakfast. What would you choose? How about coffee-flavored yogurt?”

Coffee yogurt tastes good, but there’s actually a good reason not to mix coffee and yogurt.

Caffeine interferes with calcium absorption and causes your kidneys to get rid of more calcium than usual. So if you’re eating yogurt because it’s a nutrient-rich breakfast, you don’t want to be losing your boost of vitamins to the added flavoring. Especially if the yogurt you’re eating is a nutrientdense treat like Meant To Be grass-fed yogurt.

So what’s a person who loves a good coffee yogurt to do?

That’s where Meant To Be’s dandy-blend flavored yogurts come into the picture.

Dandy Blend is an imitation coffee flavor made from roasted dandelion root extract. Dandelion root has been used to make tea for generations, and it has a similar sharp, bitter flavor to coffee. This Dandy Blend flavoring also uses roasted chicory root extracts, roasted rye extracts, and roasted barley extracts, which add a deeper, softer flavor to the coffee flavor. All organic and good for you ingredients.

Even more amazing, dandelion root is actually loaded with its own nutrients to complement the nutrients you’re now able to absorb from your yogurt. From vitamins A and C to minerals like iron and magnesium, dandelion root is a true superfood.

So amp up your coffee or yogurt game with a Meant To Be dandy-flavored yogurt as your daily fix. Keep your calcium, and get an added boost of nutrients in your day.

For Meant To Be drinkable or Greek dandy blend yogurts, or for the dandy blend flavoring itself, call 845‑327‑1845. . Also found in your local supermarket and health food stores.

Being just another tower in Dubai wouldn’t cut it for the Rostamani Tower. But while it can’t compete with the Burj Khalifa in height, it’s got a world record of its own. This striking building in Dubai proudly holds the title of the tallest vertical maze in the world, created by the intricate architectural design of the building’s porches. LED lights on the tower show off the maze, which change color in rhythm. And yes, the puzzles are real, created by a puzzle expert. If you’ve got the time of day, you can stand right there on the street and solve the maze. Just don’t get lost.

DUBAI CHOCOLATE:

The Sweetest Mirage

It sounds like a contradiction: chocolate and Dubai. One conjures images of tropical rainforests and artisanal European kitchens, the other of soaring glass towers, rolling dunes and luxurious imports. And yet, Dubai chocolate has become its own phenomenon, joining the ranks of caviar and truffles as a symbol of shpitz gashmius.

But before we go any further, let’s clear up one thing: Dubai doesn’t grow cocoa. What it does grow, however, is a taste for luxury. And in Dubai, even a pashut square of chocolate has to live up to the skyline.

NESANEL YOEL SAFRAN

Chocolate in the Land of Gold

Dubai chocolate is not defined by yichus or mesorah, it’s defined by aspiration. Some of the most talked-about chocolate brands in the UAE are less about bean origin and more about branding; Swiss tempering techniques meet Emirati aesthetics. Local purveyors like Forrey & Galland, Vivel Patisserie and Mirzam market their goods with packaging that would look more at home at a fashion show than in a pantry.

There are gold-dusted truffles, chocolate bars laced with saffron, and camel milk bonbons (not for us) in packaging worthy of a luxury boutique. It’s chocolate as an experience, not just a snack. The focus is often as much on visual elegance as it is on taste, and shoppers browsing boutiques in Dubai Mall or City Walk will encounter chocolate displays that rival jewelry counters.

Still, despite all the sparkle, there’s often substance too. Mirzam Chocolate Makers, for example, has earned a following among serious chocolate fans for producing bean-to-bar confections using traditional methods and sourcing cocoa beans directly from growers. Their factory in Al Quoz is open to the public and doubles as a kind of culinary art exhibit, showcasing everything from tempering tables to handpainted wrappers. They offer public tours, tastings, and even limited-edition bars infused with regional flavors like cardamom or za’atar (or perhaps even cholent, if you pull the right strings).

A Scene Is Born

Like most things in Dubai, the rise of its chocolate scene happened fast. While Europe was cultivating centuries-old traditions and Latin America was developing fair-trade cooperatives, Dubai was busy building towers and malls. Then came the tourists, the culinary adventurers and the wave of international attention.

Luxury chocolate found a natural habitat here. Local producers popped up to fill the niche, combining international craftsmanship with local flair. Whether that means incorporating dates, rosewater or even fragrance-inspired flavors into their confections, Dubai’s chocolatiers figured out quickly that in a city where brunches cost

more than plane tickets, chocolate had to be over-the-top to be taken seriously.

The city also benefited from a wave of global investment in food tourism, with Dubai aiming to be a culinary capital as much as a luxury destination. Artisan chocolate became part of that larger brand — part art exhibit, part indulgence and part status symbol.

The Bar That Started It All

Today, the term “Dubai chocolate” is used in two ways. It can refer to the larger trend of high-end chocolate emerging from the UAE — an umbrella term for the diamond-dusted bonbons, saffron-drenched squares, and 24-karat caramels that fill boutique displays. But more recently, it has also become shorthand for a specific confection: the Dubai Chocolate Bar.

Rich, visually striking, and deceptively easy to make, this bar combines chocolate with Middle Eastern staples like tahini, pistachios and silan. It has become popular in recent years through upscale cafes and word-of-mouth buzz, spreading quickly through cooking demos and trending recipe columns across the globe.

It’s also a recipe that speaks to Dubai’s approach to food in general: fusion without compromise, luxury without snobbery. With just a few ingredients, the bar delivers that wow factor — whether laid out on a simcha dessert table or tucked into a mishloach manos package.

A Bit of History

The bar itself doesn’t come from centuries-old tradition. Like the city it’s named for, it’s a new creation — born out of aesthetic instincts and regional flavors. Some attribute its rise to a growing appetite for Middle Eastern desserts abroad. Others credit a handful of trend-savvy chefs who realized that combining pantry basics like tahini and silan with quality chocolate could produce something visually elegant and indulgently satisfying. (Or maybe that was just what they happened to have in their kitchen at the time — my personal favorite fount of inspiration.)

Whatever its exact origin, the bar has come to represent more than just a nosh. It’s a cultural statement — a dessert that looks lavish but isn’t complicated, that nods to heritage while relentlessly pursuing the ultimate upgrade.

Do Try This at Home

Here’s our take on the Dubai Chocolate Bar, adapted to be doable with pantry basics and free of questionably kosher or hard-to-find ingredients. It’s easy enough for kids to help with, but fancy enough to serve at your next kiddush or sheva brachos.

Dubai Chocolate Slab

A healthy treat with an addictive but good-for-you caramel. Win-win.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or bars

⅓ cup tahini (or almond butter, if preferred)

½ cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds or walnuts work well)

½ cup dried fruit (cranberries, apricots or dates)

2 T. silan (date syrup), maple syrup or honey

Sea salt, sesame seeds or edible rose petals for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt chocolate in a double boiler, or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

3. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared sheet, and spread into a thick rectangle.

4. Swirl in tahini gently using a toothpick or knife.

5. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and dried fruit.

6. Drizzle silan over the top.

7. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt or rose petals, if using.

8. Chill for at least one hour or until firm.

9. Break into shards and serve. Store refrigerated.

Dubai Meets Der Heim

What makes Dubai chocolate interesting isn’t that it tries to replicate Swiss or Belgian standards. It doesn’t. It’s that it took a product so steeped in European restraint and gave it the Gulf treatment: big, bold and unapologetic.

Some might say it’s too much. But in Dubai, too much is just the beginning. In the same way that the city reimagined malls as theme parks and brunch as entertainment, it has reimagined chocolate as something more than just food. It’s a gift, accessory, decor and indulgence all at once. (In short, to paraphrase the iconic zemer, m’ein Olam Hazeh.)

For kosher consumers, Dubai chocolate offers a glimpse into a region where kosher is gradually finding its way into the luxury culinary scene. While not all brands are certified, many can be purchased abroad with supervision, and the recipes are easy to adapt at home. The visual appeal alone makes it worth a try, especially for those looking to break out of the standard brownie-kokosh-cookie rotation. Dubai may not have cocoa plantations, but it has plenty of chutzpah. And when it comes to dessert, apparently, that’s often more than enough.

IN REVIEW

EMIRATES AIRLINES

Launched in 1985 with just two leased planes and a bold vision, Emirates Airlines has transformed into one of the most iconic airlines in the world. Emirates is not just a national carrier; it’s a flying ambassador of extravagance and innovation. Whether you’re flying economy or first, it’s clear: Emirates plays in a league of its own.

Emirates made aviation history in 2008 by becoming the first airline to offer on-board showers on the Airbus A380. Think boutique hotel bathroom: full-sized shower, heated floors, luxury toiletries. Each passenger gets one session per flight, with five minutes of warm water and luxury brands of soaps included in the experience. In 2021, Emirates made headlines by launching its own wine cellar in Burgundy, France. The airline doesn’t just serve high-end wines; it buys them years in advance, sometimes while still in the barrel, and ages them in its private cellar until they’re ready to fly. At any given time, Emirates has over 6 million bottles of wine stored for future use, some of which won’t be served until 2037. Talk about in-flight service!

LOGO

The Emirates logo is unmistakably sleek — stylized calligraphy paired with “Emirates” in English, usually in a bold red, but sometimes in elegant gold. The red evokes energy and dynamism while the gold whispers pure opulence. It’s not just a nod to its roots in Dubai, but also a stylish symbol of luxury and global ambition.

YAHRTZEIT OF RAV SHLOMO KLUGER (1786–1869) 30 SIVAN

Rav Shlomo Kluger, zt”l, was one of the most revered halachic authorities and prolific Torah writers of the nineteenth century. His sharpness in learning, combined with his vast Torah knowledge and deep yiras Shamayim, made him a central figure in the world of psak halacha. His sefer Ha’elef Lecha Shlomo includes over 1,000 halachic responsa and is just one of the more than 160 seforim he authored in his lifetime.

Born in 1786 in Komarow, Poland, to Rav Yehuda Aharon, the local rav, young Shlomo lost his father early and became an orphan with no home. Hashgacha led to an encounter with the Dubno Maggid, Rav Yaakov Kranz, zt”l, who saw the potential in this wandering boy and took him under his wing. The Maggid not only arranged rebbeim for him, but personally learned with him every Friday night.

Already at 22, Rav Kluger was sitting on rabbinical courts. At 36, he took his first rabbinic post in Kelokow. Eventually, he was recommended for the position of rav in Brodt. Rav Efraim Zalman Margulies, zt”l, the author of the Beis Efraim who lived in Brodt, interviewed Rav Kluger for the position and later declared Rav Kluger the only man to ever best him in learning.

Rav Kluger served the kehillah in Brodt until his petirah in 1869. He left behind a legacy of brilliance, clarity and a true love of Torah.

STREET VIEW

How did Flink evolve?

Fifteen years ago, we started Flink as a local delivery solution in Monsey — running forgotten tzitzis to kids at school, dropping off a bottle of liquor so a chasan and kallah could say l’chaim, things like that.

No matter how many drivers we had, it was never enough. Soon people started asking us to deliver to Brooklyn, and we figured, why not? By now we’ve shifted our focus entirely to commercial and large deliveries, servicing businesses all over.

What’s your busiest time of year, and why?

Right before every season — before Yom Tov and before camp — it’s non-stop. Everyone needs everything at once!

What’s the most challenging part of running your service?

Turning down jobs. It’s a real nisayon because we want to say yes to everyone. But if I’m not 100% sure we can pull off the job, I won’t take it. Also, sometimes I think I have everything worked out, and then something totally unexpected happens. It’s humbling.

What’s one thing you can’t manage without?

Gas! What should I say… Az m’gist nisht gasoline... Es fort nisht di machine! (If there’s no gasoline, the car won’t drive.)

What part of your service are you most proud of?

Our dedication to customer satisfaction. We’ll send out an extra driver if needed, even for something tiny. If it matters to our customer, it matters to us.

How many years has your longest-working driver been driving for you?

Fifteen years and going strong!

Can you share a memorable story?

One year, a mosad decided to skip their annual dinner and instead send gift packages to all their past donors. The message was: “We’re cutting costs this year, but please be generous and donate anyway.”

I knew this job had to go to my best driver. The deliveries were scheduled for Friday. I didn’t hear back from anyone, so I assumed everything went smoothly.

On Sunday, I got a call from the person who had organized the whole thing. He asked if all the packages were delivered, and I said, “Yes, of course.”

“That’s strange,” he replied. “I put myself on the list to see if a package would be delivered to me, and while I got some calls from people who did receive the package, I never got one.”

I was shocked. I immediately called the driver, who admitted that this had been the last delivery of the day, which had been a short Erev Shabbos. The street number was confusing, and after knocking on the wrong door, he just gave up.

That moment really drove home a lesson: We’re human, and while we try our best at all times, we can’t be perfect.
