Dear Readers, “Our forefather Avraham was great.” “Sara Imeinu was a big tzaddeikes.” Do we tell ourselves and our children statements like this in order to lift us up? For many, it has the opposite effect. They were great, but we are not. What does their greatness have to do with us? It seems to spring from them fully formed from their youngest years.

direction and energy from the brain and heart, there are neshama klaliyos, general souls, from which all other souls come. Thus the souls in separate people may influence one another in profound ways. When we learn that Avraham Avinu saw Hashem, it is supposed to evoke within us a yearning to also see Hashem – even if not in the way Avraham did. We are still supposed to search and perhaps even request that G-d and G-dliness be tangible in our lives. The culmination of this process is the ultimate revelation in the time of the future redemption – may it take place very soon. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Shabbos,

ovenor Hogan chose to make our community one of his final stops before election day. The Governor was met by hundreds of enthusiastic supporters for breakfast at Goldberg’s bagels on Sunday morning. The event, coordinated by community member Jerry Wolasky, was meant to show the com-

munity’s appreciation for all the Governor has done for us. And the Governor, who was at the Park Heights JCC

this past erev Shabbas, for a community interfaith Oneg Shabbat, in response to the tragic events at the Tree of Life

Synagogue last Shabbas, decided to return to the community on Sunday to show his appreciation for our support

Nursing Home. The girls met and chatted with some of the residents and then they played a few rounds of “Jingo” (Bingo with a “J”!) with the residents and helped them match the their pieces with their boards. Team Details By Dena had a great time helping Menucha at their Sunday Funday. The girls arrived during lunch and rode a “bus” with one of our new friends. After that they played a fun ice

breaker to learn about each other and had fun davening and singing songs all together. It was fun making new friends! The Mimi Boutique Team entertained residents at Tudor Heights with singing, piano playing, guitar playing, and a conga line! The girls also had flowers to hand out to the residents and a therapy-dog-in-training to visit with them. They also got to join in the 98th birthday celebration for one of the residents! Team Nina Elman had a great time rolling coins for The Jewish Caring Network. Stacy Goldenberg explained how the money from tzedakah boxes and other donations is used to help over 125 families in Baltimore. We even got to apply some math skills. Luckily our girls were up to the task and rolled a few hundred dollars’ worth of coins! Last but not least, Team Adina B Cosmetics had a blast baking delicious desserts for the families of Bikur Cholim! They whipped up cookies, pies and twists in no time at all, and hope the families enjoy them for Shabbat! On October 23, all of the teams enjoyed their first joint prize by completing their two big activities and small activities! Thank you Tov Pizza for being our prize outing sponsor and to the Opendens for hosting a backyard bonfire of yummy s’mores, roasted marshmallows, and hot chocolate! We are incredibly proud of all teams for their collaboration, energy, devotion, and positivity that they have brought to each of their activities. And, of course, a huge shout out of appreciation to Blue Ocean Realty for sponsoring our league!

Baltimore Chesed League Girls Division

t has been an exciting two weeks with the Baltimore Chesed League Girls Division! During our second week of activities, Team Nina Elman Interiors and Team Leba D. Photography met with The Jewish Caring Network director, Stacey Goldenberg, to wrap boxes for their upcoming Chanukah toy drive. Ribbons, tape and wrapping paper were flying around the room while the girls wrapped the boxes with excitement and creativity. The teams then drove around town placing boxes in Baltimore shuls where they will be filled with toys for children in need in honor of Chanukah. The Mimi Boutique Team baked goodies for Bikur Cholim of Baltimore: chocolate chip cookies, jam thumbprint cookies, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and fudgy brownies! The girls worked in pairs and did a great job! They also made cards to accompany the desserts. Team Details By Dena had fun organizing and cleaning out coat closets, beit midrash, and the main sanctuary of Suburban Orthodox Toras Chaim. After putting away the stray seforim and siddurim, they enjoyed putting hangers in ombre order and making sure the carts and shelves looked neat and orderly. The Candy Store Team and Team Adina B Cosmetics worked hard to help organize the Bais Yaakov boxtops that were collected over the past few months. They worked together to make sure each boxtop wasn’t expired and piled then into groups of 50. These boxtops help to earn money for the school’s PTA. The following week brought additional meaningful experiences for each of the teams. The Candy Store

Team did an amazing job making desserts for Bikur Cholim that will be given to four families. It was beautiful to see how quickly the girls were able to work together to make so much food. In small groups, the girls made a cake, a pie, brownies, and cookies. It just goes to show how much teamwork matters! Team Leba D. Photography went to visit the residents of the King David

Chai Lifeline Hosts Community Color Run At Kemp Mill Synagogue

ince the founding of a regional office in the Mid-Atlantic in January 2016, Chai Lifeline has been on a mission to return the light of childhood to children who have had it stolen from them. Through professional case management, client advocacy, therapeutic programming and critical services, Chai Lifeline, an international health-support organization providing critical support services and programs for families with sick children, is now revolutionizing the landscape of pediatric illness for Jewish communities in the greater Washington D.C. area. Chai Lifeline’s presence in the Jewish communities surrounding Washington D.C. as been dramatically increasing over the past two years. As more and more families are accessing services and tapping into the vast international network, Chai Lifeline’s family caseload, volunteer body, and programming catalogue has grown. In the past three years alone, Chai Lifeline’s Mid-Atlantic Region has witnessed a linear trend demonstrating an exponentially higher percent-

age of their total family case load now are living in Potomac, Silver Spring, Rockville, and Bethesda. Professional relationships with hospitals have been initiated, and patient referrals between Chai Lifeline and the area hospitals are becoming multidirectional. Instances of patient advocacy have quadrupled in the last six months alone. Families coping with severe pediatric illness have a number to call. A passionate legion of over 85 teenage volunteers from the Yeshiva of Greater Washington, Berman Hebrew Academy, and CESJDS, have all stepped up to meet the needs of families with sick children in their neighborhoods. On a daily basis, hospital-bound children are being visited by rambunctious, energetic, and dedicated teenage volunteers. Hospital parties and activities are being coordinated in multiple dynamic volunteer group chats by teenagers. Children, confined to their beds at home, are now receiving weekly “BigSib” visitors bringing childhood and joy back into their homes. Chai Lifeline has finally come to the Mid-Atlantic Region, and are

making an astounding and outstanding effect on not only the sick children on our block, but the teenagers who are volunteering for them as well. On Sunday, Chai Lifeline hosted a community-wide Color Run at the Kemp Mill Synagogue in Silver Spring, Maryland. With 80 participants, many of them sick children living in the immediate area, the dynamism and vibrancy of Chai Lifeline was on full display for all to see. As the first member of the Board of Directors for Chai Lifeline’s Mid-Atlantic Region representing families living in the Greater Washington D.C. area, Mrs. Ahuva Orlofsky saw the Color Run on Sunday as a call to action for Kemp Mill. “With each passing week, Chai Lifeline’s indelible impact on our community is solidifying. There are more sick children that we are learning about and more families that are relying on Chai Lifeline as

THEIR lifeline”- remarked Mrs. Orlofsky. The Color Run was a culmination of efforts in recent months to raise awareness in Silver Spring for what Chai Lifeline is doing for families with pediatric illness living next door and around the corner. In a heartwarming showing of solidarity and kindness, Chai Lifeline children, volunteers, and community lay leaders jogged around Kemp Mill Synagogue while being showered with colored powder paint, made of food-grade corn starch at stations all along the run. There were no sick children in attendance. There were no families in despair facing the devastating realities of pediatric illness on the course. A plume of colorful paint – as well as heartfelt laughter – filled the air around the synagogue. On that day, in that brief moment, there was no illness. No darkness. There was only color.

JCFL By Elle Remodeling 2018 Playoff Picture Starts To Develop

or a recap of some of the excitement from Weeks 3 and 4 of the season, along with some pictures of the action taken by Uri Arnson of “Uri Arnson Wedding Photography” keep reading:

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

Week 3

Mama Leah’s Pizza 31 Warriors Basketball Camp 0 Missing All-Star lineman Moshe Goldfeiz, Mama Leah’s looked prime to start the season at 0-3. However, the defensive Line, led by Tzvi Haber and Aron Litzman stepped up and wreaked havoc with constant pressure. WR/DL/DB Mike Khoshkerman made his long awaited debut and proved to be Mama Leah’s secret weapon/missing piece. Mike had several sacks as well as some very crucial stops to go along with his touchdown. It took a few games, but with some key lineup changes, Mama Leah’s was able to get their act together and pull out the upset. Hopefully it’s not too late in the season.

Shimz Cars 13 Dougie’s BBQ and Grill 7

Shimz Cars came into week 3 looking to build on their offensive performance from the second half of week 2. On the first few drives of the game, it appeared they would. TD passes from QB Avi Yudkowsky to Ari Litzman and Yaakov Schmell lifted Shimz to an early 13-0 lead. While they were shut down for most of the day, Dougie’s did manage a long catch and run on a pass to Moshe Gholian and Shimz took a 13-7 lead into the half. The second half consisted of Shimz driving deep into Dougie’s territory, only to stall in the red zone drive after drive. While they weren’t able to come away with points, they managed to hold onto the lead by stifling the Dougie’s offense. Shimz had the ball with under a min-

ute to go but couldn’t punch it in in the red zone, and it gave Dougie’s one last chance. Dougie’s finally managed to move the ball into the red zone with one second left on the clock. However, on the final play, DLs Shmuel Moinzadeh and Eliave Sobol combined for the QB sack, narrowly preserving the 13-7 victory.

MyGoods Park Heights Roofing

36 31

In what would have been a battle of “David vs. Goliath” 7 months ago, PHR QB Chaim Finkelstein has since lost 75 lbs and turned this matchup into “David vs. slightly larger David.” Both teams were missing top players but the game did not disappoint. Park Heights Roofing jumped in front 12-0 early on but MyGoods quickly bounced back and the two teams went into the half tied at 19. For MG, Runi Willner and Yaki Strauss were dominant in the second half and created havoc in the backfield for the PHR offense. WRs Aryeh Feld and Shimon Kanter bounced back from a rough first half and won every one on one ball and proved to be the difference makers on offense for MG.

Harris Automotive Orshan Legal Group

18 6

As usual, HA started off strong, taking only 3 plays to score the first TD of the game, with Shulie Hochman making a diving TD catch.

On the second drive of the game, QB Dan Gutman hit Hochman on a curl pattern in the front of the end zone for his second TD of the day. The first half ended on a great catch by Moshe Reches for a TD, allowing HA to go into the half leading 18-0. HA would not look back and improved their record to 3-0. Week 4

Harris Automotive Mama Leah’s Pizza

28 25

After a quick 3 and out by Harris to start the game, Mama Leah’s gave it right back and provided HA with a short field, thanks to an INT by DB Shulie Hochman. 2 plays later, QB Dan Gutman hit Avner Shatz for a quick TD. On the next drive, Gutman hit Hochman for a TD to give them a 14-0 lead. But ML would come back with a score to make it a 14-6 game. HA responded with another deep TD to Shatz but ML would score on the next play with a strike down the middle to Ariel Afrah. Once again, HA responded with another Gutman to Hochman TD and followed on the next drive with a crucial defense stop. But ML’s DB Herschel Bacharach picked off a deep pass and ran it back to make it a 3 point game.

That ultimately proved to be the difference as there was no more scoring for the rest of the game.

Shimz Cars Park Heights Roofing

14 13

Expected to be a high scoring affair, the game started out as a defensive struggle. Shimz struggled to move the ball downfield but were kept in the game by their “bend but don’t break” defense, stifling PHR in the red zone. PHR got on the board as QB Chaim Finkelstein’s ran in a TD right before the half to take a 7-0 lead. Shimz made some tweaks and started to move the ball down the field but their progress was stunted as a batted pass was picked off by DB Dovid Seidel and returned for a TD, giving PHR a 13-0 lead. Shimz came right back as QB Avi Yudkowsky hit Eliave Sobol for a TD, making it a one score game at 13-7. Finally, after Ari Litzman picked off Finkelstein, Shimz scores on a TD pass to Shua Wealcatch to tie the game. The extra point to Yaakov Schmell gave Shimz a 1413 edge with 2 minutes to go. PHR had one last shot drove down into the red zone, but as they had done all game, Shimz came up with the stop to seal the victory.

Formerly of Baltimore, JWRP Hosts Facilitate Unbelievable Reunion By: BJLife BaltimoreJewishLife.com/Jeff Cohn

ori Palatnik is the Founding Director of The Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project, an international initiative that brings thousands of women to Israel each year from 18 different countries on highly subsidized programs to inspire them with the beauty and wisdom of their heritage (www.jwrp.org). You can’t make this stuff up. Miracles happen with this organization constantly. It’s stories like this that confirm the success of #JWRP is loved from a Higher Power. Last Friday, JWRP participant Margarita Gerzhina from Krasnoyarsk, Russia visited the Kotel with her group. She shared that she prayed at the Wall to find her long-lost family. When Shabbat arrived, Margarita

found herself at Shabbat lunch in Jerusalem at the home of Pablo and Sara Dues, a newlywed couple who had moved to Israel from Baltimore. The newlyweds’ mother-in-law, who was also present, had learned Russian while working for the U.S. Foreign Affairs Department and spoke comfortably with Margarita. During their conversation, Margarita explained that her last name originated from Tishvin, a small Russian Jewish shtetl. As Margarita shared her family’s history, her hosts listened in stunned silence. Margarita’s story was exactly the

same as Ilya’s, her host’s father, who had spent his whole life searching for his family as well. It turned out that Margarita and Ilya’s grandmothers were sisters who had lost contact with one another in Russia. Margarita and Ilya both feared that their families had

perished in the Holocaust, but they continued to look for each other for over 30 years. Over Shabbat lunch, they even realized that they owned identical family photos! Amazingly, Ilya planned to be in Israel the following week, and on Monday, after Margarita’s #MOMentum Trip ended, the two sides of the family reunited. Margarita, her newfound family, and the JWRP sisters who witnessed the reunion were all in tears. It was a true HP (Higher Power) moment! #itstartswithwomen #HP #HashemLovesUs.

Yehi Zichram Boruch

leven of our brothers and sisters were killed al kiddush Hashem last Shabbos. Here, we remember them as people who had families and loved ones. We remember them for loving life and for giving to others. We remember them as people who had so much more to give. Irving Younger was 69 years old when his life was cut short last week. He was charismatic, and would greet friends and visitors to the synagogue with a big smile and handshake. He would be the first person greeting those who entered the synagogue, showing them where the prayer books were and helping them find a seat. In fact, when he wasn’t in the synagogue, Irving would spend time at a sidewalk table at one of the local coffee shops, where he would greet the regular customers. He also spent time coaching Little League. For Melvin Wax, his religion was one of his greatest passions. The 88-year-old loved his grandson and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His sister said that he was “always in a good mood, always full of jokes.” Melvin was the first to arrive on Friday night and Saturday morning for services. He was leading services on that fateful day. His family would joke with him that he should have been a rabbi instead of an accountant. Rose Mallinger loved her family. At 97 years old, she was spry and vibrant.

Rose would attend Tree of Life with her daughter, Andrea, regularly. Andrea was injured in the massacre. “To Bubbe, family was everything. She knew her children, her grandchildren and her great-grandchild better than they knew themselves. She retained her sharp wit, humor and intelligence until the very last day,” her family said in a statement. Rose had three children, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She still cooked meals for the family during the high holidays. Everyone expected her to live until at least 100. Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz was a caring physician who touched many lives through decades of caring for the community. The 66-year-old wore bow ties to make his patients laugh, enlivening a room. During the shooting, he ran out to save others, endangering his own life. More than 60 years ago, Bernice and Sylvan Simon were married in Tree of Life. Last week, they both were killed in the massacre. Neighbors said that Bernice, 84, and Sylvan, 86, were the “sweetest people you could imagine.” Their front door had three stickers on it: “Support Our Troops,” “G-d Bless America” and “America the Beautiful.” Two years ago, Joyce Fienberg lost her husband, Stephen. Joyce, 75, was a research specialist at the University of Pittsburgh for 25 years. She opened

Bernice and Sylvan Simon

up her home for Stephen’s PhD students, treating them like family. She would send cards to them long after they left Carnegie Mellon. Joyce had two sons and six grandchildren, with whom she was extremely close. Dr. Richard Gottfried was a beloved dentist whose patients called him “Dr. Rich.” He would volunteer at clinics to help those who didn’t have money to pay for dental care.

Just seven months ago, Daniel Stein became a grandfather. He would pick up his grandson from daycare every day. Now his grandson, Henry Frederico Stein, will never know his grandfather. The 71-yearold was known to be fun, with a dry sense of humor. He was kind, always giving to others. Brothers Cecil and David Rosenthal were known to be inseparable. The special adults were kind, with a gentle spirit. They looked out for one another. Laura Berman said that Cecil was “the kindest soul you would

ever meet. A smiling face. He was one of those embodiments of the community. Just open, warm, smiling, wanting to help and just in his beautiful simplicity. That’s who he was.” The brothers would sit in the back of the synagogue and greet people as they came into the room. Cecil, 59, was the older brother who had a more gregarious personality. His younger brother, David, was 54 when he was killed. May Hashem bring true nechama to their families and to all of Klal Yisroel, who grieve with them in this tragic time.

Maryland Lieutenant Governor Visits Cheder Chabad

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

NOVEMBER 8, 2018

By: BJLife/Isaac Draiman BaltimoreJewishLife.com/Jeff Cohn

xcitement started building up amongst the student in Cheder Chabad of Maryland as the news was shared that the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, His Honour Mr. Boyd Rutherford would be visiting their school. In light of the recent horrific attack in Pittsburgh the Lieutenant Governor decided to visit Cheder to demonstrate his solidarity with the Jewish community and to show his support for school safety. Upon arrival at the Cheder Chabad Campus, the Lieutenant Governor was welcomed by the 2nd and 4th grade girls with creative and beautifully decorated signs of welcome and thanking him for the current administration’s support for Jewish Day Schools in Maryland and Cheder in Particular. The Lieutenant Governor was then warmly and respectfully greeted by the over 200 Cheder Chabad Elementary and Middle School students. A close personal friend of the Lieutenant Governor and the Director of the Jewish Uniformed Services

Association of Maryland, Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum began the welcoming ceremony with a prayer for the victims of the attack in Pittsburgh and for the speedy recovery of the wounded. Regional Director of Chabad in the state of Maryland, Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan introduced the Lieutenant Governor by describing the warm relationship that the Lieutenant Governor has with our community and his being a true “mentch” in every sense of the word. The Lieutenant Governor expressed his great surprise and appreciation for the lavish welcome he received from the students and “apologized” to them for taking them away from their studies. He spoke with the students about the importance of civic engagement and the administration’s efforts to address school safety. “We will always stand in solidarity with the Jewish people and our robust Jewish community here in Maryland.” He thanked Rabbi Tenenbaum for inviting him to visit the school, for giving him the opportunity to enjoy Shabbos dinners and to learn about our community. The principal of the Boy’s School, Rabbi Aharon Matusof thanked the Lieutenant Governor for the state’s support

410.484.5850

of Jewish Day Schools; in particular for the variety of grants available to Private Schools. Rabbi Matusof then led the children in singing “Oseh Shalom,” asking G-d to bestow peace upon the entire world. Rabbi Matusof then introduced a friend of the Lieutenant Governor, 6th Grader Yehoshua Tenenbaum who represented all the students in Cheder thanking the Lieutenant Governor for all his efforts on behalf of Cheder. At the conclusion of the welcoming ceremony all “generals” in the Tzivos Hashem program got to take a group picture with the Lieutenant Governor who personally congratulated each of them for their efforts in being promoted to General. The Executive Director of Cheder Chabad, Rabbi Avrohom Wolowik gave

the Lieutenant Governor a tour of the 65,000 square foot campus of Cheder Chabad, giving him the opportunity to personally observe the classes in action and to interact with individual students and faculty.

Mrs. Itzkowitz

How many students do you currently have? This year Bnos Yisroel has 520 students. We opened the school with a commitment not to have more than two classes per grade, with approximately 20 students per class, and that is where we are today, B’H, with double classes from Nursery - 12th Grade. What defines a Bnos Yisroel education? Bnos Yisroel is known for its in-

What are your goals as the Principal? I try to create a positive and encouraging environment where each student’s strengths are recognized. I want each girl to feel like she really matters, and that the adults in the building truly care about her. What do you look for when hiring a teacher? I’m very selective when I hire teachers. I feel like I can always help a teacher teach a math problem or make a Chumash lesson exciting, but I can’t help her like children. That’s what it comes down to - if a teacher likes a child, the child will like the teacher back. And when the child likes the teacher, that child is prepared to buy what the teacher has to sell…and ultimately, we’re selling Yid-

dishkeit. I feel that the girls who graduate our High School care for each other and have seen the kind of role models who will help them become sensitive and caring mothers, wives, employees and employers.

This year we introduced the PENIMI program, where we are working with the students to make good personal choices, so that the learning is internalized and they do the right thing because they want to, not because they have to.

How do you ensure that the teacher understands how important their role is? When I hire teachers, I tell them, “In this school, you’ll never have a break during recess or lunch.” Lunch and recess is the main time to connect with the students. It’s also the time to see what’s really going on, because kids aren’t mean to each other in front of us. When you have only one teacher who’s watching seven classes at recess, she won’t see the girl who’s whispering and ruining another girl’s entire day. Our teachers do get breaks, but not during these pivotal times. I also look to hire teachers who will recognize that they are role models. If a teacher embarrasses a child, how can she later tell that child not to embarrass someone else?

Where do your students go when they graduate? We have tremendous nachas from our graduates. Many go to Seminary and then return to Baltimore to continue their education. Our graduates pursue many different career paths, and some have completed Masters programs. They stop by to visit when they can, and we are always happy to see them! More than 15 of our graduates currently work in Bnos Yisroel and are busy giving back to the community.

It sounds like you focus a lot on the positive in your school. How do you go about disciplining when need be? When there is a problem, I’ll discuss it with the student, and then I’ll ask her, “What can I do to help you next time, so we won’t have this problem again?” It’s easier and quicker to scare a young child into behaving, but it doesn’t last.

What is your impression of the community’s recognition and support of Bnos Yisroel? I am so grateful to the Baltimore Community. I get so much positive feedback from people in the community and I know the other teachers and administrators do as well. We get such chizuk when members of the community who do not even have children or grandchildren in the school make contributions to our school. We often get nice notes from them as well and it really encourages us and gives us a sense of pride.

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M

How did you come to start Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore? I was the preschool director for many years in another school. When I “retired” in 1998, a small group of parents approached me with an idea: Why not create a girls’ school built on the same principles that made your preschool such a phenomenal success? Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore, the school born that day, now includes four complete divisions - Preschool, Elementary, Middle School and High School.

novation and inspiration - we combine creative learning with warmth, and not surprisingly, have happy students. I have two goals when it comes to academics. One, I believe we need to teach girls the satisfaction of working hard, of not giving up and of ultimately succeeding. My second goal is to make learning exciting so that the girls will come to love Torah and Yiddishkeit. When a school over-emphasizes tests and marks, it can engender the opposite feeling, where learning is associated with pressure and late-night studying. Our goal is for every girl to work hard to be HER best self.

Mossad Helps Denmark Foil Iran Assassination Plot

The Danish intelligence service relied on Mossad information to stop an Iranian assassination plot in the Scandinavian country. According to Israeli senior officials, the Mossad gave Denmark information on an Iranian plot to kill three Iranians that were suspected of belonging to the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz, an anti-regime organization, who were residing in Denmark. Israelis have acknowledged that the Mossad provides intelligence all over the globe to countries that may be targeted for terror attacks. The PET, also known as the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, did not confirm the Israelis’ claim, saying that they would not “comment further on the ongoing investigation.” Reportedly, a Norwegian national of Iranian origin was arrested by Danish security services ear-

lier this month. Afterward, the Danish ambassador to Iran was called home. “I have decided to recall Denmark’s ambassador in Tehran for consultations… Denmark can in no way accept that people with ties to Iran’s intelligence service plot attacks against people in Denmark,” Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen said. He went on to call the planned operation “totally unacceptable” and said that he was speaking with his “partners and allies” in the EU about possible sanctions. Finn Borch Andersen, the head of the PET, said that his agency believed that Iran was “planning an attack in Denmark” against the three Iranian opposition figures. The United States has thrown their support behind Denmark. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted, “We congratulate the government of Denmark on its arrest of an Iranian regime assassin. For nearly 40 years, Europe has been the target of Iran-sponsored terrorist attacks. We call on our allies and partners to confront the full range of Iran’s threats to peace and security.” Iran has denied any allegations that have been made against it.

Pilot’s Remains Found 56 Years Later The Israeli military recently discovered the remains of a pilot, Lt. Yakir Naveh, who has been missing since his plane crashed into the Sea of Galilee 56 years ago, the army said on Tuesday. The remains were discovered on October 25 on the bottom of the Sea

of Galilee, along with pieces of the aircraft. Naveh’s funeral is scheduled to take place on November 13. On May 6, 1962, Naveh was training a cadet on a Fouga Magister when their plane got too low over the water and the engine cut out. The nose of the plane hit the water, sending them into a fierce spin, wing over wing. A year later, a search team found the body of the cadet who had been flying the plane, Oded Kouton, but no trace of Naveh. In 2000, the Israel Defense Forces renewed its searches for the pilot. On October 16, the military began its 12th round of searches for the pilot’s remains. Until now, Naveh had been considered a soldier who is confirmed dead, but whose burial place is unknown. His watch, pistol and pieces of his chair were found previously. Naveh was born in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan in 1939. He was 23 years old and newly married at the time of the accident. The Sea of Galilee is relatively small but visibility in the lake is obscured. Divers can also only remain in the water for a short amount of time because of the depths. “It’s complete darkness, complete darkness,” the head of an IDF dive team searching for Naveh told The Times of Israel in 2016. “And it’s cold. We’re talking about 57 degrees Fahrenheit.” Hypothermia can set in at water temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Illegal Diamond Crackdown Six suspects have been arrested on suspicion of being part of an illegal diamond smuggling ring. A police statement was released this week saying that the suspects “conspired, planned, and operated for a number of years smuggling diamonds into the State of Israel worth hundreds of millions of shekels in violation of the law and without reporting to the competent authorities.” Among those arrested were Lev’s brother, Moshe, and his son, Zvulun. The three others detained are former and current employees, including Hananya Issachar, Reuven Shmuelov and Asher Yechieli, who was the former manager of Leviev’s plant in

Russia. Yehuda Asor, the sixth suspect, is accused of serving as a courier and smuggling diamonds into Israel. The charges being brought against the six detainees include diamond smuggling, money laundering, tax offenses and conspiracy to commit a crime, filing false business reports and other offenses. The Lahav 433 national crime unit is in charge of the investigation. They found an Israeli citizen who was living abroad had entered the country six years ago with diamonds hidden in his luggage. They then discovered that he had sold the diamonds without reporting the transactions to tax authorities. The suspect worked in a Russian factory owned by diamond billionaire and philanthropist Lev Leviev.

The case was cracked when one of the suspects turned state witness after being caught at the airport with a diamond worth $270,000. Though many of the details have been placed under a gag order by the authorities, it has been released that police seized luxury cars from a city only identified as being “near the Tel Aviv area” during their raids on the suspects’ homes. Leviev’s company, LLD Diamonds, released a statement saying that they had no information about the arrests. “The company knows nothing of the events reported in the media,” the statement said. “Mr. Leviev and the companies he owns operate according to the appropriate norms, and in compliance with the law. We hope that the matter will quickly be clarified and that the suspicions will turn out to be baseless.”

The Week In News dan announced the appointment last week. Erdan said that Edri’s “impressive and proven command abilities” made him the best choice to fill the position. He went on to praise his “many years of experience in a variety of roles in the Israel Police and his expertise regarding the challenges facing the police in the coming years.” The 51-year-old Edri is a former commander of Israel Police’s Tel Aviv and Jerusalem districts. He beat out Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevi, who was considered the frontrunner for the position, and current Tel Aviv police chief David Bitan for the top spot.

ruary 2018 after 28 years in the force, during which he served in a number of key positions, with the most recent being the head of the Police Traffic Department, the commander of the Jerusalem District and later the commander of the Tel Aviv District. He is known for his easygoing nature. Edri, if he receives final approval by a vetting committee, will be replacing Roni Alsheich. The Cabinet also needs to give their okay for Edri to officially assume the position. Alsheich congratulated his successor and offered to assist with his transition in any way he could.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heaped praise on President

Donald Trump this week for his “courageous, determined and important decision” to reinstate all U.S. sanctions on Iran that were done away with in the nuclear deal of 2015. Bibi was also very careful to give himself a lot of the credit for the reversal. “For many years I have devoted my time and energy to the war against the Iranian threat. On this issue, I went up almost against the whole world. Today we see the results of this long and ongoing struggle,” Netanyahu at a meeting in the Knesset. “This day is a historic day,” he added. ”I would like to again thank President Donald Trump again for a courageous, determined and important decision. I think this contributes to stability, security, and peace.” The sanctions he is referring to are the second set that the Trump administration has imposed against the Islamic Republic since the United States pulled out of the nuclear deal earlier this year. Iran is no longer seeing the billions of dollars of sanctions relief that they enjoyed

12/4/18

under the Obama administration in exchange for some curbing of their nuclear program. Netanyahu went on a worldwide campaign lobbying against the deal since it was signed in 2015. When the U.S. pulled out, Netanyahu said that “this is a very big day for the State of Israel. This is a great day for the people of Israel. This is a great day for the future of Israel.” He asserted that targeting Iran’s banking sector would put “Iran’s terrorist regime in a large choke hold.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry also hailed the U.S. sanctions as “an important step in curbing the regime’s aggression. They should be enforced by all governments that aim to promote stability and prevent terrorism in the Middle East and beyond.” Education Minister Naftali Bennett also thanked Trump, saying the sanctions “send a loud message that terror does not pay.” “Thank you for making the ayatollahs afraid again,” Bennett tweeted.

On Friday, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that $145 million has been earmarked for the construction of six miles of border wall in Texas in Rio Grande Valley Sector. The project, called RGV-01, is expected to begin in February. It will include the building “of tactical infrastructure,” which includes “a reinforced concrete levee wall to the height of the existing levee, 18 feet tall steel bollards installed on top of the concrete wall, and vegetation removal along a 150 foot enforcement zone throughout the approximately six miles of levee wall system,” the news release said. “Once constructed, this levee wall system will serve as a persistent impediment to transnational criminal organizations, while still allowing river access for property owners, other federal/state/local officials, local emergency responders, and USBP,” the agency added. “CBP continues to implement President Trump’s Executive Order 13767 – also known as Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements – and continues to take steps to expeditiously plan, design, and construct a physical wall using appropriate materials and technology to most effectively achieve complete operational control of the southern border,” the agency continued.

One of the women who made allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during hearings for his new position has admitted to investigators that she fabricated them to “get attention.” Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has referred Judy Munro-Leighton to the Justice Department and FBI after suspicions that she fabricated the accusations against Kavanaugh.

“The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about what they know,” Grassley wrote in his letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “But when individuals intentionally mislead the Committee, they divert Committee resources during time-sensitive investigations and materially impede our work.” On September 25, “Jane Doe” from Oceanside, California, sent an anonymous letter to Senator Kamala Harris alleging that the then-nominee for Supreme Court and his friend were violent toward her.

The whole thing is just a crock, farce, wrong, didn’t happen, not anything close.” Several days later, on October 3, Judy Munro-Leighton emailed the committee claiming to be the “Jane Doe” of the letter. She explained that she was “sharing with you the story of the night,” calling it a “vicious attack.” “I refuse to allow Donald J. Trump to use me or my story as an ugly chant at

one of his Republican rallies,” Munro-Leighton wrote. “I know that Jane Doe will get no media attention, but I am deathly afraid of revealing any information about myself or my family.” Eventually investigators were able to track down Munro-Leighton who was living in Kentucky and not California. They also revealed that she’s a passionate left-wing activist who is, in fact, a few decades older than Judge Kavanaugh. Recently, she admitted to investigators that her story was a “tactic” and

“that was just a ploy.” “No, no, no. I did that as a way to grab attention,” she told investigators. “I am not Jane Doe…but I did read Jane Doe’s letter. I read the transcript of the call to your Committee…. I saw it online. It was news.” “I was angry, and I sent it out,” she explained. “Oh, L-rd, no,” she responded when asked whether she has ever met Kavanaugh.

Emerald City

Zambia must have been bathed in a green light when miners there unearthed a massive emerald crystal from its mines a few weeks ago. The stone, which weighs almost 2.5 lbs., is a whopping 5,655-carats. It was found at the Gemfield mines in Kagem. The emerald is being called “Inkalamu,” which means “lion” in the local Zambia Bemba language. It will be cut into smaller pieces and auctioned in Singapore in November. It has “remarkable clarity and a perfectly balanced golden green hue,” a statement from the company asserts. The stone was found in an open mine on October 2, by geologist Debapriya Rakshit and emerald miner Richard Kapeta. Emeralds are rare and more valuable than diamonds, driving their demand in the market. Most of the world’s emeralds are mined in Zambia, Colombia, and Brazil. Kagem is the world’s largest emerald mine. Located in central Zambia, it produces approximately 25 percent of the world’s commercial emeralds. Elena Basaglia, Gemfields’ gemologist, said there’s been increasing interest in Zambia’s emeralds, particularly from dealers in Europe. “We are experiencing strikingly increased demand for high-quality Zambian emeralds from the major brands, particularly in Europe, all of whom admire the rich color and unique transparency of our gems – qualities that make them unique among emeralds,” Basaglia said. The gem is not the largest emerald stone to have been found in the company’s mines. In 2010, miners at the Zambia-based operation found a 6,225-carat emerald they named

Lest you think that those gems are perhaps a bit over-the-top, the Bahia emerald, which is the world’s largest uncut emerald, was unearthed in Brazil in 2001. It weighs nearly 800 pounds, has been stolen quite a number of times, and was once listed for sale on eBay at $75 million.

Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind on July 20, 1969. And his footsteps are still reverberating throughout the world. Recently, memorabilia that belonged to the first man to set foot on the moon fetched more than $7.4 million at auction. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions says the item that sold for the highest price, $468,500, at Saturday’s auction was Armstrong’s spacecraft ID plate from Apollo 11’s lunar module Eagle. Also sold were a fragment from the propeller and a section of the wing from the Wright brothers’ Flyer, the first heavier-than-air self-powered aircraft, which each sold for $275,000. The flight suit Armstrong wore aboard Gemini 8, the 1966 mission that performed the first docking of two spacecraft in flight, brought the astronaut’s family $109,375. Meanwhile, in a separate auction, a gold-colored Navy aviator’s helmet once owned by John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, sold for $46,250. Neil, your one small step for man was a giant hole in some man’s wallet.

During the photo session, a structure carrying two works of art was knocked over. The damaged artworks include a Francisco Goya etching from the Los Caprichos series and Salvador Dali’s interpretation of it. Goya’s work was also part of the gallery owner’s private collection. “Goya’s work had its frame and glass broken,” a center employee said. “As far as Dali’s artwork is concerned, apart from shattered frame and protective glass, it also suffered damage to the picture itself.” In other words: uh oh. Irina Volk, the official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry, said police have received a written statement from the deputy director of the cultural center requesting justice for the paintings. The women have admitted touching the stand that the structure was on while trying to take a photo. Officials have declined to open a criminal case against the women. Turns out, they were just clumsy.

The Week In News we say “around,” we mean “around.” The British swimmer became the first person to circumnavigate the whole of Great Britain – a 1,791-mile challenge. Hundreds turned out on Sunday to cheer on the 33-year-old, who touched dry land for the first time since June 1.

“I got out of the water and thought, ‘This is gonna be amazing, I’ll run in like ‘Baywatch,’” he told The Guardian shortly after completing the feat. “The reality is that I’m really chubby now, really hairy, and I had a pink town buoy. When I made it to dry land I was just relieved I didn’t fully fall over.” Edgley’s journey consisted of

swimming about 12 hours a day in two six-hour stints. At night, he would board a boat that floated alongside him and they would record the exact location that he stopped swimming. In the morning, they sailed to that exact spot and Edgley would continue his journey. He endured 37 jellyfish stings, a rotting tongue, a suspected torn shoulder, and an open neck wound from chaffing. The darkest moment came during a night swim in the Gulf of Corryvreckan – just off the west coast of Scotland – when a giant jellyfish attached itself to Edgley’s face for about 30 minutes. But he kept on going. “The sting was searing into my skin; it wrapped around my goggles,” he told the Guardian. “This fat, giant jellyfish of Scotland and its tentacle had been slapping me in the face for half an hour through a giant whirlpool. It was brutal but you couldn’t stop.” For about miles on his journey, Edgley had a special companion: a female Minke whale who probably mistook him for a seal.

In order to get the energy for his swim, Edgley downed 10,000 to 15,000 calories each day. His menu consisted of pizza, pasta, rice pudding, a whopping 610 bananas, and 314 cans of Red Bull. “There’s not many places you come in and people are asking you to sign bananas,” he joked. This superhuman feat is just the latest for the English daredevil, who has also climbed a rope the height of Mount Everest in one 19-hour sitting and ran a marathon while tethered to a Mini Cooper behind him. The swim around Great Britain was the toughest of them all, Edgley said. “Hands down the hardest thing on so many levels: physical, mental,” he told the Guardian. “I felt a fatigue that I’ve never felt before.” I’m tired just thinking about it.

Doing Good with Doughnuts

doughnut shop in Seal Beach, California. Recently, John has been operating the store alone; his wife has been out after she suffered from an aneurysm. When John finishes selling his doughnuts at the end of the day, he heads to help her at the rehab center where she is recuperating. This week, Dawn Caviola, who has been a regular customer for many years, noticed that Stella was not in the store and heard about their hardship. Attempting to help the hardworking couple, Dawn posted online about their situation and urged neighbors to buy doughnuts. This way, once all their doughnuts are sold, John can leave the store earlier in the day to visit his wife. Soon, customers were flocking to the store to purchase dozens of doughnuts. One day, all the doughnuts were sold by 8:30 a.m. “We sold everything already,” John said. “I feel very warm and very happy. Thank you to everyone.” Dollars to doughnuts, Stella will be back in the store real soon.

Torah Thought

The Spice of Life

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

By Rabbi Zvi Teichman

There are two words in this week’s Torah reading that do not appear elsewhere in all of Chumash. When Esav returns home from a ‘hard day at the race’, he is starving for some food. He observes his brother Yaakov engaged in some cooking activity, )‫ויזד יעקב נזיד (בראשית כה כט‬ , Yaakov simmered a stew. Esav in his desperation accedes to Yaakov’s request to exchange his birthright for the privilege to eat this lentil stew. A bit later in the tale Yitzchok summons his ‘firstborn’, Esav, and requests of him to hunt some game, telling him ‫ועשה לי מטעמים כאשר אהבתי‬ )‫(שם כז ד‬, “and make me delicacies as I love, so that I may bless you”.

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M

The Targum Unkelos here, as well as earlier, translates these terms, ‫נזיד‬ and ‫מטעמים‬, as: ‫ תבשילין‬/‫ תבשילא‬respectively, ‘cooked dish[es]’. Why doesn’t the Torah select the standard word that’s used for a cooked dish, ‫תבשיל‬, to describe this simple item? The Baal HaTurim comments that Yitzchok in this request to Esav to prepare some food, was intimating to him that since he had lost the birthright through an act ‘eating’ he could retrieve that loss through an deed of ‘eating’ as well. What’s really ‘cooking’ here? The Malbim )‫ (משלי יא יב‬teaches that the word ‫נזיד‬, similar to the word ‫מזיד‬, deliberate, implies the plan and preparation that goes into creating a cooked item. In distinction, ‫תבשיל‬, connotes the ‘ripening’ of the process, its final state alone.

The Torah is emphasizing the need for patience in order to achieve growth. Yaakov Avinu understands the value of the process in any endeavor which so often is more valuable than the goal in terms of how it affects the person. He is presented in the stage of cooking that emphasizes ‘preparation’. Esav who thirsts merely to attain his objective, without placing any regard for the qualities gained in arriving at the goal, is incapable of carrying the life mission of Yitzchok, his father, and thus forfeits his birthright for a ‘super bowl’ of porridge. Yitzchok seeks to teach his beloved son, Esav, this vital lesson, maintaining hope that he can rehabilitate him from his deficiency and make him deserving of his blessing. The Pirkei de’Rebbe Eliezer ‫(פרק‬ )‫ לג‬describes the events of that fateful day. It was the eve of Pesach when the ‘Treasuries of Dew’ are opened to avail those who are worthy the benefit of its blessing. Yitzchok summons Esav to prepare ‫מטעמים‬, cooked delicacies, so that he may be worthy of his blessing. Rivka, having become aware of what has transpired, quickly informs Yaakov and tells him to fetch two goats, one representing the Korban Pesach and the other the Korban Chagiga. She prepares '‫'מטעמים‬, cooked

delicacies, referring to the fulfillment of the law that requires one to first satiate one’s hunger with the Chagiga sacrifice and only then calmly partake of the Pesach sacrifice so that one may fulfill the command to eat the Pesach '‫'על השובע‬, with savor, not with ravenous hunger but rather as a king who eats with thoughtful deliberation and enjoyment. This was a pivotal night, a night that would herald the greatness embodied in the Jewish nation. The nobility and dignity of our stature is symbolized in this quality to be able to ‘savor’ the experience called life, to realize that it is the journey and how we spice it that determines how enjoyable it is. The Medrash Sechel Tov ‫(פרק כז‬ )‫ ד‬defines ‫ מטעמים‬as: types of cooked food that has spices and flavor enhancers such as oil, salt, pepper or saffron or cumin. The stress here too, as by ‫נזיד‬, is not on the base item at all but rather on the outside additives and processes that give it context and enjoyment. It is impossible to enjoy gourmet food by gobbling it down, like good wine it must be relished. Life as well cannot be properly savored if we are here to just gorge ourselves with pleasurable experiences. We must take every opportunity and make something of it and discover its hidden tastes. This is precisely what Esav was incapable of achieving despite his father’s best efforts. He lacked the ability to reign in his impulses. He was consumed by his hunger for success. Esav was unable to partake of life ‫על השובע‬, he was ill-equipped to savor each experience with patient purposefulness. The Great Baal HaTanya writes in his Likutei Amarim )‫(פרק כז‬: For there are two kinds of grati-

fication before Him, blessed be He: one, from the complete annihilation (Ishapcha) of the sitra achra and the conversion of bitter to sweet and of darkness to light, by the tzaddikim; the second, when the sitra achra is subdued (Iskafya) whilst it is still at its strongest and most powerful and soars like an eagle, whence the Lord brings her down through the effort of the benonim below. This is indicated in the verse, “And makes me delicacies such as I love.” The word mataamim (‘delicacies’) is in the plural, to indicate two kinds of gratification, and the words are those of the Shechinah to her children, the community of Israel, as explained in the Tikunim. The analogy is to material food, where there are two kinds of relishes: one of sweet and luscious foods, and the other of tart or sour articles of food which have been well spiced and garnished so that they are made into delicacies to quicken the soul. The Baal HaTanya speaks of an approach in Avodas Hashem called Iskafya, to subdue, restrain. To take that what appears to be sour and bitter and to garnish it with a positive resolve. Esav lacked the quality of Iskafya, to restrain himself from unbridled passion. He didn’t allow himself the option to enjoy the deeper and more refined hidden tastes that were available to him. So often we lose ourselves and our dignity with an attitude similar to that of Esav, remaining frustrated that we are missing out in life when in reality there is so much pleasure that awaits us. We need to have the patience of a gourmet chef to painstakingly extract the magnificent delights that await us in life. That secret ingredient is Iskafya, contemplative restraint in all that we encounter, a spice that transforms all that appears bitter into exquisite sweetness.

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

By Rabbi Motty Rabinowitz

We are thankfully at the tail-end of yet another tumultuous and feverish election season, both in Israel and the United States. As the dust settles, and the full scope of the results become apparent, the obvious question is, what’s next? Undoubtedly, some of us are happy, perhaps even ecstatic, about the results. Others are disappointed or despondent about what transpired. We all took responsibility and attempted to select representatives that would best lead our communities and protect the vulnerable Jewish world. With that all behind us, how are we, both the candidates and the voters, meant to deal with the aftermath? I believe we can glean a valuable life-lesson in this regard by analyzing this week’s Torah reading. The Torah portrays the vivid differences between our patriarch Yaakov and his less virtuous brother Esav. The contrasts between them are numerous, but perhaps one of the most revealing is how each brother dealt with expectation, success and disappointment. As we all know, Yaakov was bestowed the primary divine blessings from his father Yitzchak. Esav, after emotionally pleading for his own rights, received secondary blessings. While this event was definitely an immense disappointment for Esav, it surely must not have come as such a surprise. After all, he did willingly barter his rights as a first-born many years earlier for some lentil stew. Yet,

it is Esav’s sharp reaction to this historic incident, that highlights his true essence. Esav could have maturely walked away from the episode, upset and disappointed, but with his self-esteem intact. He had received recognition and benevolence from his father. Taking stock, he could have gotten up and moved on with a productive life. But he chose to succumb to negativity and a vindictive existence, driven by destructive goals. With a thirst for vengeance and retribution, he dedicated his life to destroying his brother. Like an infant who doesn’t get what he wants, he threw a long and violent temper-tantrum. We are told about Esav’s intentions: “And Esav said in his heart, the days of the mourning for my father will draw near, and then I may murder my brother Yaakov” (Breishis 27:41) Although Rashi comments that he was being respectful to his father by waiting for his death before killing Yaakov, many other commentaries view his consideration to be yet another ruthless ploy. The Abarbanel for example, explains that he was waiting for a distraction that would enable him to quietly kill Yaakov. A sorrowful Shiva house would be just perfect! Targum Yonasan suggests an even more sinister strategic consideration. If he killed Yaakov during Yitzchak’s lifetime, perhaps Yitzchak could father another child who would

be further competition. He was therefore waiting until Yitzchak’s death to ensure that all possible rivalry was quashed. He lost all sense of proportion and became solely focused on eradicating his competition. In sharp contrast, we read about Yaakov’s temperament and reaction to the unfolding events. At the age of 15 he purchased the rights of the blessings from Esav. Yet nowhere do we find any expectation, excitement, or pursuit of those rights. Rivka had to cajole Yaakov to get up and take action. All he was concerned about was whether his actions were ethically appropriate. Even after finally receiving the blessings, we find no mention of an emotional response, no end-zone dance, no ‘told you so’ speech. Yaakov just stuck to his life’s mission and indifferently continued learning and building a family. The Midrash eloquently summarizes the difference between the brothers by noting the wording used to describe Esav’s thoughts, ‘he said in his heart’: “Evil people are ruled by their hearts and emotions… Righteous individuals govern their own hearts.” Yaakov didn’t let success or disappointment distract him from his life’s mission. When life was smiling on him, he did not get carried away, diverge from his goals, gloat, or call it a day. Sometimes, the chips were unfortunately down, but the show neverthe-

less had to go on. Esav however, was driven by his own personal ambitions and his stormy emotions. Even when the facts had been settled, he could not find a way to be productive and move on. He merely planned for the next battle and the destruction of any dissenting opinions. The unfortunate state of modern politics and government appears to be clearly taken from Esav’s playbook. One election cycle barely ends, and the vindictive knives come out on either side to quash the other, in preparation for the next cycle. Crossing the aisle is anathema to Esav. Let’s show the other side that we mean business! Politics is after all, politics! But this is not the way of Yaakov, and most definitely not a recipe for a civilized and productive world. Regardless of whether the results are to our liking or not, we have a job to do, a mission to fulfill. It is this stubborn sense of purpose and holiness that has kept the Jewish people alive through the ages, despite the tragedies that have befallen us. We must of course take stock of the reality and strategize our path forward. But most importantly, we must learn to overcome the divisiveness, ignore the distractions and emotions, and meticulously continue building our communities into bastions of light and morality for all.

Building Legacies One Baby at a Time

After the shocking and horrific attack in Pittsburg, it was important for our community to come together for a meaningful cause. Bonei Olam’s Everlasting Generations event on Monday, October 29th, 2018, at Washington Mill Dye House, could not have come at a more appropriate time. In the incredibly beautiful new location, surrounded by gorgeous décor and delicious food, the event was enjoyed by all but everyone was there for a higher purpose. An inspiring video was shown, with several local couples describing their heart-wrenching and incredibly inspiring journeys to become parents. Everybody was in tears as one couple explained their infertility journey coincided with the attack on the Chabad House, killing their brother and sisterin-law in Mumbai. Instead of giving up hope, they drew inspiration from their brother and sister-in-law, to continue the difficult process of fertility treatments. Many of us do not realize the pain involved in this process; just how taxing these treatments can be for couples who are trying to have children. Aside from the physical and emotional pain, affording these treatments can be impossible. Some couples must go through aggressive treatments which can cost $10,000 to $15, 000 a cycle, only to find out the treatment was not

successful. As Hillel Goldman explained, “This is where Bonei Olam comes in

and takes this huge burden off these couples who are already experiencing unbelievable trauma. Bonei Olam has been helping the Baltimore community for the last 9 years, and every dollar that is raised at this event goes towards helping a couple in Baltimore cover the cost of these expensive treatments. In addition, Bonei Olam connects couples with their network of doctors and researchers that are working on cutting edge fertility treatments”. With Bonei Olam’s help, 11 babies were born in the Baltimore area this past year, 85 children over the past 9 years. As Loni Goldman said in the video, “This is 4 classrooms of children who might not be there without the assistance of Bonei Olam.” This year’s event was focused on

a specific goal – providing assistance to the 16 local families who requested help from Bonei Olam. With the community’s partnership, we hope to be able to provide that support to each of those families. For those who were unable to attend the event this year, you can still help make a difference. Please consider making a gift to our fellow community members requesting assistance from Bonei Olam via the following link: https://www. boneiolam.org/donation (make sure to reference “Baltimore” in the additional information area.) Or donations could be mailed to 6609 Shelrick Place Baltimore, MD 21209. Every donation counts and every donation makes a difference. Thank you for your generous support!

Our World Has Changed And We Had Better Step up to the Plate By Hylton I. Lightman, MD, DCH (SA), FAAP

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M

ur world changed this past Shabbos. Permanently. And not for the better. We heard the news of the massacre in the Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh. Actually, forget calling it a massacre and let’s call it what it really was – a pogrom because it was planned with malice aforethought against Jews. And for no reason other than to kill Jews. Jewish history is replete with massacres and pogroms perpetrated against Jews. Think of the destruction of our Temples in Jerusalem several millennia ago. Bogdan Chmelnitsky in 17 th century Eastern Europe. Churban Europa. The Chabad House in Mumbai, India, nearly ten years ago. The almost daily attacks emanating from Gaza into Israel. But we Americans never thought it would happen on these shores, on this continent, in the 21st century. This latest pogrom begs responses on many levels.

Hate is not an option and is to be avoided at all costs. It is ugly and never brings anything good into this world. The church massacre in Charleston in 2015. Or the 2016 nightclub shooting in Orlando. Hating people who are different from us is not Torah behavior. It’s not Judaism. Period. There are differences among people, and differences are not reasons to hate and destroy. Despite the tornado of mudslinging and hatred due to differences of color, religion, political preferences, etc., it’s important to remember that each person born into this world is an entire universe onto himself, pregnant with potential to bring forth life and propel this universe to new heights. This mindset will help us navigate life’s challenging vicissitudes and differences. We are told to be a “Light onto the nations.” The prophet Isaiah says this phrase no less than three times. The selection of the menorah as the symbol of the State of Israel derives directly from this phrase.

In his 2017 speech to the United Nations, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the “State of Israel is a light unto the nations, bringing salvation to the ends of the earth.” Clearly, we are not meant only to stay in our own homes. Rather, we have an important role in setting forth the moral compass of this world and in answering tragedies like the Pittsburgh pogrom that claimed 11 beautiful lives. As Albert Einstein said, “The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.” We must each engage in a din v’cheshbon (yes, it’s only six weeks after Yom Kippur) to ascertain what we can each do to bring G-d’s light into this world. Refining our language is one place to start. Notice how often we might say, “I hate…” or “I’d die if…” or that we charge ahead with judging and criticizing others without possessing all facts. A review of the laws of lashon hara will stand us in good stead.

Think about our behavior in public. The illegal U-turns on our streets. Waiting to be seen in a doctor’s office. How we speak to the sanitation workers. We all have places to go, people to see, things to get done. By refining our behavior maybe then our children will automatically stand for their rebbes, morahs and teachers and grow into caring adults who see each individual as pregnant with potential. Similarly, we should not take our loved ones for granted. Send your children out the door every day with “I love you.” Does it matter in the long term if your spouse left toothpaste in the washbasin? Think about how you can create a more loving home. On a somewhat different note, our world has changed because the Pittsburgh pogrom has brought into 20/20 focus a concern – no, actually a fear – that whether we are in school or shul are we sitting ducks? G-d forbid, could the Parkland or Sandy Hook shootings or the Pitts-

42 burgh pogrom happen to us? My 15-year-old daughter has expressed this in other words. I’m not the only father (or grandfather) in this world who wants safety for his family. But how humble I feel to make this reality. The unfortunate reality is it’s well within the realm of reality that it could happen. We must invest effort in securing our schools, shuls, shopping stores and communities. I have read the statements of several shuls, schools and organizations about Pittsburgh. I am proud of The White Shul and Mesivta Ateres Yaakov for announcing they will be reassessing their security measures and proceeding accordingly. Which organization is going to take the lead in the Five Towns/Far Rockaway community in bringing all schools and shuls together to address this issue on a communal level? Yes, each school, shul, or institution has its specific needs. However, it would be a tremendous statement and kiddush Hashem if we set aside our differences and self-aggrandizing platforms to assure the safety of this community. Further, although we adults are struggling with our own thoughts and feelings about this horrific tragedy, it does not absolve us from the responsibility of talking to children about what they are seeing and hearing, even when they did not directly witness the event. Here are some guidelines that parents can use. Honesty is important but that doesn’t mean children need to know the details. The child’s “developmental lens” should determine what he needs to know and how we speak with him. Answering a child’s questions depends on what he can understand without further alarming him. First, find out what your child already knows. Gently ask questions and listen to their responses. This is an opportune time to correct misinformation. Acknowledge your child’s feelings; this should be the focal point rather than the event itself. Searching for the right words to use? Check out the website https:// www.afnatal.org/supporting-your-

children-in-times-of-stress/. Let’s start with young children. Infants and toddlers are comforted when caregivers are warm and responsive to their needs. Highly predictable routines are crucial.

tions and to bring you information to discuss. Of course, never give up setting boundaries and monitoring your children on any electronic device. Kids know far more than we realize (or want to admit).

It’s important to remember that each person born into this world is an entire universe onto himself, pregnant with potential to bring forth life and propel this universe to new heights.

Because young children are sensitive to adults’ emotions, make every effort to speak in a calm voice. Language should be simple. Answer questions honestly but with minimal detail so their imaginations do not run wild. This age group does best when reassured they are safe. Perhaps some extra attention from Mommy, Daddy or a loving adult might be needed. School-age children may understand more and, as a result, may need to speak more. That’s okay. Please still exercise caution in sharing details. Listen carefully to what they say and ask and respond accordingly. Adolescents need adults to listen to their thoughts and feelings without the adults editing them. Some teenagers are already grappling with life and death issues or whether or not this is a world of justice. They want honesty, not doubletalk. However, teenagers do it on their timetable, meaning, it’s when they’re ready to talk. And the adult must be available. Our world is plagued by TMI – too much information. It’s hard to regulate what our children are exposed to, especially when they have friends and walk the streets. This is not an excuse for us to cop out. Rather, use this as an opportunity to invite your children to ask ques-

Exercise. Get and keep you and your children moving. I’m serious. It keeps everyone busy and less “self” and “cell” focused. It’s bond-

ing time. And you already know the benefits to setting loose those endorphins. Take care of yourselves, Mommy and Daddy. Our world is a stressful one. Make sure you eat well and rest. Socializing with peers is important. If you or any family member or loved one are struggling, don’t be a martyr. Seek professional help. There are mental health professionals, rabbonim, askanim and others who can help you – or at least help you to get the right help. Healthy parents mean healthy children. Together, let’s move forward with our children’s mental and emotional health intact. As always, daven.

Happy 90th, Mickey! Mickey Mouse’s official birthday is November 18, 1928. Based on his size in the cartoons, Mickey is estimated to be 2 feet, 3 inches tall and to weigh approximately 23 lbs. On his 50th anniversary, in 1978, Mickey Mouse became the first cartoon character to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame under the Motion Pictures Category. Although they never married on-screen, Walt Disney confirmed that Mickey & Minnie are married in private life. When Walt Disney was first deciding on names for his amusement park, he had considered naming it “Mickey Mouse Village.” The two people who gave the voiceovers for Mickey & Minnie were actually married in real life. In a 1936 Japanese animated propaganda film, Mickey Mouse’s image was used to represent the West invading Japan.

fore his ninth film, which was released in 1929. In that film, “The Karnival Kid,” the first words Mickey said were “hot dogs”! Walt Disney had earlier named his mouse creation Mortimer. But his wife told him that Mickey would work better. Mickey has a sister named Amelia Fieldmouse. Mickey was only given four fingers because Walt Disney wanted to save time and money. A 6.5 minute short film needed around 45,000 drawings. In total, that comes to a lot of fingers not being drawn. Mickey’s full name is Michael Theodore Mouse. Before Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, he made Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But in a dispute with a business partner, Disney lost the rights to Oswald. The loss of his first character inspired the birth of the Mouse.

It is obvious that the president of the United States of America is placing a target on my back and he keeps calling my name and lying about me in order to make the target work. So I’m not intimidated by it, but I know what he’s doing.

The president says he’s a nationalist. Again, we know where this comes from, and it’s painful, especially to the ears of those who fled and fought the Nazis like the 11 Jewish people massacred this past weekend. This is who Trump is. This is how he is molding the GOP in his image, and that party seems to be sitting by scared or joining in. This is a far cry from where the party ever was.

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME NOVEMBER 8, 2018

What Would You Do If… Moderated by Jennifer Mann, LCSW of The Navidaters

Dear Navidaters,

We’ve lived on a very nice block for the past 26 years. It’s a friendly block and most people know each other. To our right are neighbors who are very lovely. Though we’ve never been particularly close to them, as we don’t really have that much in common, we’ve always been polite and neighborly. We’ve watched their children grow up and always felt they were nice kids.

They have a 23-year-old son, Avi, who has been in and out of our house for years, for various reasons. He’s a very nice young man, though he seems a bit aimless to us. He is in college, but still isn’t sure what he wants to do when he graduates and just kind of seems a bit unfocused, though he is sweet. Our 20-year-old daughter, Chedvah, is a bright, wonderful young woman.

Recently, Avi and Chedvah announced that they wanted to date and have been dating ever since. It seems to be getting serious. Though we think Avi is nice enough, we also see his limitations and are worried that the only reason Chedvah is dating him is because it’s so easy and she doesn’t have to go out on shidduch dates, the thought of which paralyzes her with anxiety. We feel Chedvah is making a big mistake, getting serious with someone mainly because it’s easy. We don’t see them having all that much in common and worry that if this goes through, it will be a disaster. We’ve spoken to Avi’s parents, and they think this is a great idea! Do we have any options?

Due to the nature of the column receiving only a short snapshot of an issue, without the benefit of an actual discussion, the panel’s role is to offer a range of possibilities.

However, she is extremely shy and introverted. A bit after she came back from Israel, we brought up the subject of putting together a resume and reaching out to shadchanim. Chedvah couldn’t imagine putting herself out there like that and said she wasn’t ready. I don’t think the issue was so much about her not being ready to date as much as her shyness.

You are not powerless to influence the matter of your daughter’s interest in someone because of access and comfort level. I think the key is to sit down and deal with the deeper issue of lack of social skills/shyness that has not been addressed heretofore. Perhaps you did broach getting help for her in the past and it wasn’t received well by Chedvah. When a young person approaches the dating age is a time when it will be better received. Since she has been afraid of dating because of her perceived weaknesses, turn that negative into a positive. Offer her a dating coach/ social skills specialist/therapist to help

her “since her first dating experience is going well.” In other words, being strategic and giving positive reinforcement to her “performance” can offer you a route to get her the help she needs. Don’t attack Avi. Don’t respond with logic. Build up Chedvah with the supports she needs. Build her confidence by framing dating as a journey and her ease with Avi as normalizing what was so scary. Compliment her on growth and becoming an adult. At the same time, you can insist that it’s now time to start getting the help that most people use from a dating coach in order to date successfully. She wants to be a good dater and hold the young man’s interest, and at the same time be self-aware and mindful of what she can offer and what he can do for her particular needs, wants, and personality despite awareness of her weaknesses.

Compatibility for marriage may start with fit and comfort but it’s about a lot more than that. Get yourselves help too. You are going to be doing a delicate dance to navigate the immediate situation and the deeper issues of her insecurities and social problems.

The Mother Sarah Schwartz Schreiber, P.A. eems like while you’ve been choosing fonts for her resume, Chedvah has already chosen her chosson-to-be. It wouldn’t surprise me if, while munching shwarma in the shuk, Chedvah was having online DPC’s (deep, philosophical conversations) with Avi, courtesy of WhatsApp and Verizon. Our kids often surprise us and your Chedvah is no exception. While she seems painfully shy and introverted to you, she’s one smart cookie (in your words: “bright and wonderful”). She’s succeeded in school and spent a year abroad – all with her eyes wide open and without Mommy at her side. She’s even heard your opinion about “aimless Avi” and the “nice enough neighbors.” It’s not likely that Chedvah would sacrifice or sabotage her future because the guy next door landed on her welcome mat. So whether or not you’ve read the memo: Chedvah and Avi may truly like each other. Avi may not be suave or charming in your eyes, still, he may be kind and caring towards Chedvah. He may be sensitive and funny, respectful to your daughter and comfortable to be around – a good foundation for a great marriage. As for his lackluster plans: a loving wife may be just the inspiration Avi needs to buckle down and shine in school and his career. Haven’t we always believed a that good woman makes her man? In short, Mom, rather than perseverate that Chedvah’s taking the easy way out, sit down with her, and in your kindest, least judgmental manner, ask her what makes Avi so special to her. If

she’s too shy or unable to articulate her feelings, offer her the services of a dating coach so she (and you) can feel she’s choosing Avi for all the right reasons – a choice she can happily live with for the rest of her life.

The Shadchan Michelle Mond n one hand, you say you have been nudging Chedvah to come up with a resume because you feel she is ready for marriage, and on the other hand you are alluding to having absolutely no faith in her decisions. How can you have tried to push your wonderful daughter into starting to date if you cannot trust her to be ready to make the ultimate decision? You say she is only falling for Avi because it is “easy.” I say, have more faith than that in your own daughter! Remember, this was the daughter you were just encouraging to start dating because you thought she was ready. On this panel we hear this type of question a lot. Parents who are extremely eager for their wonderful children to start dating and, when they make a choice, they suddenly wish to step in and make the decision for them.

52 diamond ring and the hard place: coming to terms with the idea of Avi being your future son-in-law. The bottom line is you do not want to lose your daughter. She and Avi are dating exclusively and it is getting serious. Any attempts from you to push them apart will likely just make her resent you for doing so. You can approach her lovingly with open communication and talk about the many things that should be taken into consideration when choosing a husband. You can do this generally, without pointing fingers or belittling Avi since that only will push her away. You can lovingly

approach thought-provoking topics so she can come to her own conclusions. Be the loving ear for her to talk to and the shoulder to cry on, and she will be more likely to listen to your advice when you give it.

The Single Tova Wein can understand your concern. It does seem very possible that Chedvah started dating Avi because it was so convenient and since she’s

s parents of adult children, there is a bitter pill often prescribed. It’s a nasty little pill at first, but once it builds up in the system, the results are often a game changer! The name of the pill is MyChildGetstoChoose. The generic name is I’mNoLongerinControlmyGdIHopeIRaisedHerRight. We can present, discuss, shower with love, guide, argue, worry, plead, and punish. Ultimately, the choice is theirs. Always theirs. When adult children feel the judgment of their parents, or feel that their parents are telling them what to do, they often back away. Parents who are overbearing often find their calls aren’t being picked up as often and their children are always busy. At the end of the day, it will be Chedvah’s decision to continue dating Avi or to break up with him, to see a therapist to explore and work on her anxiety, etc. Should you swallow MyChildGetstoChoose, it may allow you your best chance to hold Chedvah’s hand through her relationship with Avi. When our children know that they are ultimately in charge and that we respect and honor their free will and intuition, they are

usually more inclined to turn to their parents as a sounding board and even seek their guidance. This may be the perfect relationship for Chedvah or she may be hiding behind it, using it as a safe place to avoid working through her shyness and anxiety. Without meeting her or having a deeper understanding, I have to be honest and tell you that I have no idea which one it is. I also have to tell you that neither do you. My standard guideline for situations similar to yours is to come alongside your daughter and support her. No, that doesn’t mean going wedding dress shopping and ignoring the elephant in the room. I actually commend you for being so honest about your daughter’s issue and not pretending it isn’t there. It would be so much easier for you to believe that your daughter’s issue is cured or she will work through it in this relationship with Avi or that it will somehow go away. Back to the guideline: 1. Open up the lines of communication. Let her know that you are a safe

probably known him for many, many years, it was an easy and stress-free way for her to start dating. This would not be the first time someone dated and married “the boy next door.” There’s something to be said for the ease with which it occurred. On the other hand, another way to look at it is to say that Chedvah has known Avi her whole life practically and yet they still seem to be pulled toward one another. Their relationship has truly passed the test of time, which says a lot. And even if she is dating him because she is too shy to go out there and be set up, that doesn’t mean that this can’t be a wonderful occurrence. Rather than focusing so much on Chedvah’s shyness and choosing the path of least resistance, why not focus on how the two of them seem together? Do they seem comfortable together? Happy, connected…

person to speak with. 2. Show her your support and faith in her decision making ability. 3. Invite Avi over when the couple is ready. Spend as much time together with them as a couple as you can. Join her in her excitement and welcome him with open arms. 4. In your most loving and compassionate stance, ask Chedvah how she feels around Avi, about her anxiety in her relationship, about how she feels in the relationship. If you have a solid, open relationship, there will be room to discuss your concerns about Chedvah’s shyness and avoidance. If done properly, there is nothing wrong with discussing your concerns. As a matter of fact, if done properly, it’s the absolute right thing to do. Do not make it about Avi. Do not make it about Avi. Do not make it about Avi. 5. You can offer her sessions with a therapist if there is anything she may want to talk about with someone outside the family. 6. This part has nothing to do with Chedvah and her relationship. This part is for you and you alone. This is a major transition in your life as a parent. Your daughter is a young woman now and your relationship with her is

on the same page? Spend time with the two of them and observe their chemistry and dynamic. We know that Avi is a very nice young man from a nice family. That alone is meaningful. Talk to Chedvah privately and with loving curiosity about the possible future she sees with Avi. What are her thoughts and possible concerns about his professional future? Maybe the two of them have discussed the future and there is much you don’t know about their plans. Just because it was easy doesn’t mean it was bad.

When he didn’t, she didn’t give her input. She believes that is what allows them to be so close today. I’d like you to think about shifting your focus from Chedvah and Chedvah’s problem and Chedvah’s relationship to “my role, what I can realistically do, my limitations, and am I going to swallow the bitter pill and follow the guidelines.” All the best, Jennifer

Facts About

War I

The War to End All Wars

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M

orld War I was also known as the Great War, the World War, the War of the Nations, and the War to End All Wars. • World War I was fought from 1914-1918 on every ocean and on almost every continent. Most of the fighting, however, took place in Europe. • The war began on June 28, 1914, when a Serbian terrorist shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. Russia and France sided with Serbia, and Germany supported Austria-Hungary. Other countries around the world were soon pulled into the fighting. World War I officially ended 4 years later on November 11, 1918. • More than 65 million men from 30 countries fought in World War. Nearly 10 million men died in the fighting. The Allies lost around 6 million soldiers; the Central Powers lost about 4 million.

• Russia mobilized 12 million troops during WWI, making it the largest army in the war. More than 3/4 were killed, wounded, or went missing in action. • Nearly 2/3 of military deaths in World War I were in battle. In previous conflicts, most deaths were due to disease. • The most successful fighter pilot of the entire war was German fighter pilot Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (1892-1918), or the “Red Baron.” He shot down 80 planes, more than any other WWI pilot. He died after being shot down near Amiens. France’s René Fonck (1894-1953) was the Allies’ most successful fighter pilot, shooting down 75 enemy planes. • During World War I, dogs were used as messengers and carried orders to the front lines in capsules attached to their bodies. Dogs were also used to lay down telegraph wires. • Big Bertha was a 48-ton howitzer used by the Germans in World War I. It was named after the wife of

its designer Gustav Krupp. It could fire a 2,050-lb (930-kg) shell a distance of 9.3 miles (15 km). However, it took a crew of 200 men six hours or more to assemble. Germany had 13 of these huge guns or “wonder weapons.” • Tanks were initially called “landships.” However, in an attempt to disguise them as water storage tanks rather than as weapons, the British decided to code name them “tanks.” • Woodrow Wilson’s campaign slogan for his second term was “He kept us out of war.” About a month after he took office, the United States declared war on Germany on April 6th 1917. • The total cost of World War I for the U.S. was more than $30 billion. • The war left thousands of soldiers disfigured and disabled. Reconstructive surgery was used to repair facial damage, but masks were also used to cover the most horrific disfigurement. Some soldiers stayed in nursing homes their entire lives

after fighting. • World War I is the sixth deadliest conflict in world history. (World War II is the deadliest.) • Four empires collapsed after WWI: Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian. • While the first military submarine (named the Turtle) was first used by the Continental Army during the American Revolution, submarines only made a large military impact during World War I when Germany launched its fleet of U-boats. Its submarines mostly stayed on the surface and submerged only to attack ships with torpedoes. Germany’s indiscriminate submarine warfare was a primary reason the U.S. joined the war. • During World War I, the Germans released about 68,000 tons of gas, and the British and French released 51,000 tons. In total, 1,200,000 soldiers on both sides were gassed, of which 91,198 died horrible deaths. France, not Germany, was the first country to use gas against enemy troops during World

• The greatest single loss of life in the history of the British army occurred during the Battle of Somme, when the British suffered 60,000 casualties in one day. More British men were killed in that one World War I battle than the U.S. lost from all of its armed forces and the National Guard combined. • World War I transformed the United Stated into the largest military power in the world. • The long-term effects of WWI include the formation of the League of Nations, which laid the groundwork for the United Nations and a worldwide arms race. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles imposed severe sanctions on Germany, which drove the country into a deep recession, setting the groundwork for World War II. • World War I was the catalyst that transformed Russia into the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). It was the creation of the world’s first communist state and ushered in a new phase in world history. Historians note that this was the most startling and important consequence of WWI. After the war, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland emerged as independent nations. • The Treaty of Versailles stated that Germany had started WWI. It gave Alsace and Lorraine back to France. Poland picked up German territory in the east, and other territories were given to Belgium and Lithuania. The treaty also transferred the Hultschin area of Upper Silesia to Czechoslovakia. The eastern part of Upper Silesia was assigned to Poland. Lower Silesia, meanwhile, was left entirely to Germany. The key Baltic port of Danze, the industrial region of the Saar Basin, and the strategically important Rhineland were also taken from Germany. Its armed forces were strictly limited and its colonies were made League of Nations mandates. A 1921 Reparations Committee decided that Germany should pay $33 billion in compensation to the Allies for the damage it caused. The Treaty left Germany humiliated and impoverished, which left the world vulnerable to another world war.

War I. • The term “dogfight” originated during WWI. The pilot had to turn off the plane’s engine from time to time so it would not stall when the plane turned quickly in the air. When a pilot restarted his engine midair, it sounded like dogs barking. • The trench network of World War I stretched approximately 25,000 miles (40,200 km) from the English Channel to Switzerland. The area was known as the Western Front. British poet Siegfried Sassoon wrote, “When all is done and said, the war was mainly a matter of holes and ditches.” There was an estimated 1,547 miles (2,490 km) of trench lines dug during World War I. • “Hello Girls,” as American soldiers called them, were American women who served as telephone operators for Pershing’s forces in Europe. The women were fluent in French and English and were specially trained by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. In 1979, the U.S. Army finally gave war medals and veteran benefits to the few Hello Girls who were still alive. • During World War I, American hamburgers (named after the German city of Hamburg) were renamed Salisbury steak. Frankfurters, which were named after Frankfurt, Germany, were called “liberty sausages,” and dachshunds became “liberty dogs.” Schools stopped teaching German, and German-language books were burned. • The Germans were skilled at intercepting and solving Allied codes. Germans also captured one out of four paper messengers. However, when a U.S. commander used Choctaw tribe members form the Oklahoma National Guard unit, they used an extremely complex language that the Germans could not translate. The eight Choctaw men and others who joined them became known as the Choctaw Code Talkers. • More than 500,000 pigeons carried messages between headquarters and the front lines. Groups of pigeons trained to return to the front lines were dropped into occupied areas by parachutes and kept there until soldiers had messages to send back.

t is no exaggeration to state that it would take many hundreds of pages to properly describe the unique character of HaRav Doctor Moshe Rothschild, founder and president of the Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center and the Marbeh Daas Mental Health Center, who was niftar this past Chol Hamoed Sukkos. Stories and personal accounts flowed from all sides, each describing another aspect that yet fitted smoothly into the greater whole: a man who was resolute, an expert in his field, revolutionary in his methods, and a true talmid chacham and yirei Shamayim. He never wasted a moment and managed to accomplish on his own what dozens of people, working together, would find difficult to do. “He who walks with integrity is righteous.” (Mishlei 20:7) This article can only draw the broadest strokes of a rich, fulfilling life.

In 1929, a baby was born in Zurich, Switzerland, who would bring relief and healing to tens of thousands of Jews, both body and soul. Moshe Rothschild, who would become the famous, illustrious doctor, was the son of R’ Yosef Rothschild, a leader of the Jewish community of Germany. The family had moved to neighboring Switzerland, where Moshe’s maternal grandfather, Rav Ernest Weil, was one of the leaders of the Swiss Jewish community. The move proved life-saving as the Holocaust devoured European Jewry; miraculously, the entire Rothschild family – Moshe’s parents as well as his nine brothers and sister – all survived the war. During those terrible years, R’ Yosef closed the metal factory that was the family’s source of comfortable income to focus on assisting his fellow Jews.. “We must help our brother and sisters now,” he told his chil-

dren. Even after the war years, the family did not rest on their laurels. They accompanied the Rav of Ponovezh, Maran Hagaon Rav Yosef Kehaneman zt”l, making the rounds of the monasteries and churches to rescue the innocent Jewish children who had been hidden there during the Holocaust. The young Moshe studied in the yeshivah of Monterey, a city near Geneva in Switzerland, learning under the auspices of two of the gedolei hador of that time, whose names because known world-wide: Maran Hagaon Rav Moshe Soloveitchik zt”l and Maran Hagaon Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman zt”l. He later pursued studies in medicine, learning for one year in Zurich and another year in France, but he never stopped his activities on behalf of his fellow Jews, both in public affairs and the dissemination of Torah. During his medical studies in Paris, he actually

took Rabbi Monk’s place as lecturer for a period of three months. Upon first earning his license to practice medicine, Dr. Rothschild sought to further pursue his specialty under the auspices of one of the greatest pediatric doctors of the time, Professor Guido Fanconi. Upon his acceptance, Fanconi confronted his Jewish intern and told him, “I understand that you do not work on your Shabbos, but I want you to change those rules while you’re with me.” Dr. Rothschild refused. Fanconi urged him to ask for a special dispensation from his rabbis, but Dr. Rothschild replied, “I know that I have been tremendously fortunate that you agreed to mentor me. Nevertheless, I am ready to give up a thousand opportunities like this one, rather than give up on a single Shabbos!” Stunned, Fanconi could only say, “Stay. You’re accepted.” It once happened that Fanconi was making the rounds of the pediatric ward, closely followed by his interns. He diagnosed one case as hopeless and turned to Dr. Rothschild. “Disconnect the patient from life-support,” he instructed. Dr. Rothschild was not willing to give up on the child’s life. “Perhaps you should do it yourself,” he said. Fanconi turned red and abruptly left the room. The other interns were amazed, sure that Dr. Rothschild would be summarily ejected from the course. After a few minutes, however, they were even more astonished to see Fanconi rejoin his interns and apologize! This was Dr. Rothschild’s invariable approach that would characterize him for all his life: uncompromising of halacha, an unwavering moral compass, a firm

57 day, the foundations of Bnei Brak’s hospital have continued to grow and strengthen, with more wings and departments added as demand increased. At the recommendation of the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt”l, who personally contributed to the costs of the building, Mayanei Hayeshua was called a “medical center” rather than a “hospital.” Three years ago, in his 80s but still active, Dr. Rothschild was able to witness the realization of another of his dreams: The Marbeh Daas Mental Health Medical Center, with both departments and out-patient clinics for men, women, and teenagers. Just a few days before his passing, Marbeh Daas officially opened the new unit for which he had labored most in the last months of his life: the Day Care section of the Eating Disorders Unit, for treating eating disorders in children and adults. Dr. Rothschild leaves us with a

rich, enduring legacy: his wife and seventeen children, all following the derech Hashem; the thousands of dedicated workers who administer to the sick in Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center; and the hundreds of thousands of patients who are treated every year in the eighteen departments and dozens of outpatient clinics of Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center. Dr. Rothschild dedicated his entire life to the service of the community. He never spared a moment for himself, and he paved the way for all of us to reach the heights. It is our sacred duty to preserve his unceasing efforts to develop, to nurture, to improve, and to perfect; to administer care and to heal in the spirit of Yiddishkeit, with both professionalism and compassion. By following in his footsteps, may we be comforted for our great loss.

help those in need. Everyone in Bnei Brak knew that Dr. Rothschild didn’t charge for his medical services. He kept a tzedakah box in one corner of the room, and if someone offered to pay for his treatment, Dr. Rothschild told the patient to put the money in the tzedakah box instead, where it would go towards the building of a medical center in the city. To most, it seemed an impossible dream; but when the money had been raised to purchase a plot of land at one end of the city and even make a deposit, Dr. Rothschild received an official letter from the City Engineer. “If you want to build a hospital in Bnei Brak, put your money where your mouth is!” In Kislev of 5739 (1978), the foundation stone for the hospital was laid and the fundraising accelerated. The supposedly impossible dream became reality in the summer of 1990, and since that

commitment to truth, and absolute dedication to his patients. In 1960, Dr. Rothschild married Reitz Lang, a native of his own city. He continued to work as a pediatrician in Zurich, where he was considered one of the top doctors in his field and was the pediatrician of choice, both for Jews and non-Jews. He labored ceaselessly to help his patients and save lives. His life took a sharp turn when Rav Kehaneman came to Europe for a fundraising trip on behalf of the Ponovezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, and Dr. Rothschild was asked to accompany him on his journey. He closed the doors of the pediatric clinic that he had established and spent a month traveling with Rav Kehaneman and assisting him. This time in the great tzaddik’s company had a tremendous influence on him. In 1966, Dr. Rothschild came to Eretz Yisrael to participate in the Yarchei Kallah. The great mashgiach, Rav Yechezkel Levenstein zt”l. urged him to change his lifestyle and immigrate to Eretz Yisrael. In later years, Dr. Rothschild recounted, “I didn’t really feel like there was something missing in my life in Zurich, but I listened to him anyway. My wife and I, and our seven children, moved to the Holy Land.” The Rothschild family came to Eretz Yisrael in 1970, where they settled in Bnei Brak. It was still a small settlement at the time, although it was rapidly growing; there wasn’t even a health clinic in the town! Each day, Dr. Rothschild traveled from the Torah-filled streets of Bnei Brak to the holy city of Yerushalayim, where he worked at Shaarei Tzedek Hospital. Notwithstanding his full schedule, he also performed thousands of brissim and, on his return to his apartment on Elisha Street in Bnei Brak, he devoted countless hours to offering medical treatment and advice to the men, women, and children who came to his home. Even on Shabbos and Yom Tov, he continued to assist the hundreds of people who needed his medical help, and there were times when he walked from one end of the city to the other in order to

Dov and others responding to an emergency on Highway 1

ot everyone is cut out to be a volunteer EMS paramedic and sometimes even those who are find themselves overburdened by the sheer volume of emergency calls they receive in a single day. Dov Maisel, the vice president of operations for United Hatzalah, is also a volunteer paramedic with the organization. Recently, he responded to six emergency calls that took place in his community in less than 24 hours. What is more surprising is that this is not unusual for the paramedic who lives in Ramle with his family. Maisel, who has been working and volunteering in the field of EMS for more than 20 years, is no stranger to emergencies. In addition to answering countless emergencies in and around his city of Ramle, and

in Jerusalem where he works, Maisel is also in charge of all international missions and collaborations that take place within the organization. He has responded to and been in charge of response teams that have been sent by United Hatzalah to large scale disasters. Included in the international disasters that Maisel has assisted in are the earthquake in Nepal, the Ukraine, in Haiti for the earthquake of 2010 and again in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, and most recently in Houston, Texas, and the Florida area following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. According to Maisel, the essence of a successful first response volunteer system revolves around the “building one’s own community by having a group of individuals who volunteer to save others.” Maisel

himself is a shining example of this motto and his own community rallies around him, thereby giving him more of a drive to be a better and more dedicated responder. Maisel’s experiences during his recent 6-call weekend exemplified this message The calls began on Friday afternoon when he was dispatched by the national command center to an emergency involving a teenage boy who was severely injured. “The call came in and I raced over to the scene, which was a few short blocks away from my house,” Dov recalled. “While I was treating the young man, a neighbor came out and offered me challot to take home for the Shabbat celebration. I told her that I had to treat the injured person first. After bandaging him up I then addressed the neighbor and refused to take the

bread. The woman would not hear of it and placed a large number of loaves on top of my car. At this point, the police were arriving on the scene, and after giving my statement to the police, I headed home, with the blessings of the neighborly woman and her loaves in tow.” The second incident occurred after Maisel had returned home and finished preparing for the Shabbat evening meal. “I was just leaving my house to go to synagogue, and I left my car with my med kit in it at home,” he said. “When I was a few feet away from my house I got an alert that a man nearby had collapsed. I ran back home, got in my car and drove to the scene where I helped treat the gentleman as well.” Following that call, Maisel made it to the synagogue by foot and then

difference and save lives is absolutely worth it. “To see the community come alive and support you while you are working and to save the lives of your neighbors or family members is simply remarkable. The woman who made me challot, or the man who walked by me while I was on my second call and said, ‘I know you, you saved my father two years ago. You are the United Hatzalah guy who lives two streets down. I wanted to say thank you,’ those are the moments that pick you up. “When you are on long and difficult calls at three in the morning trying to revive a woman in her apartment with two other volunteers and there is no noise except for the compressions you are doing and the clock ticking away the last moments of her life, it is important to remember that the community is behind you. As volunteers, we are part of the communities that we serve, and as a part of them, we are there for them, and they are there for us.”

Maisel’s last call of the day came in the early afternoon. “By this point, I was completely over-exhausted. I didn’t get much sleep, I had to entertain guests and spend time with my family as well, and here I got my

returned home. As he was sitting at his dinner table with 15 guests, he received another alert and rushed out to treat two people who had been injured in a car accident on the highway outside of Ramle. From there he was rerouted to his fourth call of the day in which a person with respiratory problems was in need of assistance. Finally returning home after a few hours spent responding to the two emergencies, Maisel was ready for some well-needed sleep – that didn’t come. “At three a.m. I was called to perform CPR on a woman who was found unconscious and not breathing,” he shared. “It was a very tragic call, as these things often are. A daughter returned home after a night out and found her older on the floor of the apartment,” recalled Maisel. “But these are the calls where you need to be sharp because you are the only response, the only chance that this person has.

Political Crossfire

Our Descent into Vitriol Began Long Before Trump

An anti-Trump billboard in downtown Phoenix

By Marc A. Thiessen

fter a deranged Democrat living in his van nearly assassinated Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., firing more than 70 rounds at House Republicans practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declared it “outrageous” that anyone would blame Democrats’ rhetoric for inspiring the shooter. “How dare they say such a thing!” Pelosi thundered. Never mind that the shooter echoed Democratic vitriol against the president, ranting on Facebook that “Trump is Guilty & Should Go to Prison for Treason” and that “Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” Now Democrats are doing exactly what they condemned, blaming President Trump’s divisive rhetoric for the recent spate of mail bomb attacks and the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue. The truth is they ceded the moral high ground years ago. Our descent into vitriol began long before Trump – and Democrats and their allies are as culpable as the president. Recall that, in 2000, the NAACP spent millions on ugly ads accusing George W. Bush of moral equivalence with white supremacists who brutally lynched James Byrd in 1998. “My father was ... beaten, chained, and then dragged three miles to his death, all because he was black,” said Byrd’s daughter, as the screen flashed grainy images of a chain dragging a body behind a pickup truck. “So, when Gov-

ernor George W. Bush refused to support hate-crime legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again.” Barack Obama set the tone for his 2008 campaign against John McCain when he declared, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., answered that call when he compared McCain to segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace and declared that McCain was replicating the climate of “hatred and division” that led to attacks on civil rights

She also compared the GOP to terrorists, declaring, “Now, extreme views on women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take from Republicans.” And she listed Republicans alongside the Iranians among the “enemies” she was most proud of making. When Trump took office, Democrats abandoned their role as the “opposition” and declared themselves

When you traffic for decades in hateful, violent political rhetoric, you have lost the moral authority to effectively condemn others for doing so.

workers. Four year later, a pro-Obama super PAC ran ads showing GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan pushing an old lady in a wheelchair over the side of a cliff, while another ran false ads blaming Mitt Romney for a woman’s death from cancer. During the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton compared Republicans to Nazis, saying in regard to illegal immigrants they wanted to “round them up” and put them in “boxcars.”

“the resistance.” Look up “resistance” in the Oxford dictionary and you’ll see the definition “the use of force or violence to oppose someone or something.” William E. Scheuerman, professor of political science at Indiana University, notes the word resistance “first surfaces in debates about tyrannicide, the violent removal from power of misbehaving kings who usurp authority not properly belonging to them.” Scalise would have been for-

given for pointing out that his wouldbe assassin took Democrats’ calls to “resistance” literally. More recently, some Democrats were peddling unfounded accusations that Brett M. Kavanaugh participated in gang attacks in an effort to destroy the Supreme Court nominee. Clinton defended smash-mouth tactics, declaring that “you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.” None of this excuses Trump’s rhetoric, but it does make his Democratic accusers hypocrites. When you traffic for decades in hateful, violent political rhetoric, you have lost the moral authority to effectively condemn others for doing so. Indeed, Democrats arguably bear much of the blame for creating Trump. One of the reasons voters rallied behind Trump is precisely because, after years of seeing their standard-bearers act like punching bags, Trump presented himself as a counterpuncher who isn’t afraid to fight back and gives as good as he gets. The results are ugly. Trump is wrong to call the media the “enemy of the people” and to celebrate a congressman body-slamming a reporter, and the host of other terrible things he has said. But Democrats were dragging us into the political gutter long before Trump came along. If they think Americans elected a Frankenstein’s monster, they are Dr. Frankenstein.

When Alarm Clocks Don’t Work By Rabbi Azriel Hauptman

There are people who have an extremely hard time waking up in the morning. Are they just lazy? Do they simply need a louder alarm clock? Or perhaps they might have a real disorder that affects one’s ability to wake up in the morning. It might surprise you that there are numerous possible causes of morning sleepiness. Here is a partial list and brief explanation of some of the possible causes. Insufficient sleep – This is the most obvious culprit. If you are not getting enough sleep your body might not want you to wake up until it has received the sleep that it needs. Poor sleep hygiene – Sleep hygiene is a variety of different practices and habits that are necessary to have quality sleep. This includes limiting daytime sleep, avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, proper exercise (but not in the hours preceding sleep), and refraining from eating foods near bedtime that affect sleep. If someone has poor sleep hygiene then their sleep might not be restful which can lead to morning sleepiness. Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder (CRSD) – The circadian rhythm is our “body clock” that controls many physical functions including our sleep timing. People with CRSD have a sleep cycle that is timed differently than most people. These individuals could sleep well if they would able to sleep according to their individual sleep cycle. But if they want to wake up at a “normal hour” then this condition can be a real impediment. Sleep Apnea – Sleep apnea is a condition when one’s breathing becomes very shallow or even stops briefly during sleep. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea

(OSA) that is caused by complete or partial obstructions of the upper airway. The episodes of limited breathing can last as long as 40 seconds. The individual with OSA is often completely oblivious of the condition and is often alerted to it by family members or roommates since people with OSA often experience snoring during sleep. OSA severely disrupts the sleep cycle and therefore can cause morning sleepiness. Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) – PLMD is a disorder where one’s limbs jerk or twitch involuntarily during sleep. This can

disrupt one’s sleep and lead to excessive sleepiness in the morning. The person with PLMD is frequently unaware of his own condition and is often first noticed by family members or roommates who observe the abnormal movements of the limbs during sleep. Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) – RLS is a disorder where one feels an acutely unpleasant feeling in one’s legs when trying to rest which compels the person to move his legs in order to “shake off” the feeling. This often occurs when one is trying to go to sleep which can obviously lead to insufficient sleep. This is a very dif-

ferent disorder than PLMD, since one with PLMD is usually unaware that he has the condition, whereas RLS occurs when one is awake and one would therefore be aware that he has the condition. Medications – Many medications can cause a disruption of the sleep cycle which can lead to difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. Depression – Depression can affect one’s sleep in a variety of ways. This includes difficulty falling asleep (sleep onset insomnia), difficulty staying asleep (sleep maintenance insomnia), and non-refreshing sleep. Sleep that is not refreshing can easily lead to morning sleepiness even if one sleeps a sufficient number of hours. Depression and sleep can be tricky since the same way depression can disrupt one’s sleep, insufficient sleep can also lead to depression! Furthermore, the relationship between depression and sleep disorders can lead to a downward spiral where depression leads to a sleep disorder which then exacerbates the depression which then further intensifies the depression. The treatment for a sleep disorder is very much determined by its cause. A physical exam by a physician, a sleep study done by a sleep specialist, and a psychological evaluation might all be necessary in order to properly diagnose the cause of the excessive sleepiness. This is a service of Relief Resources. Relief is an organization that provides mental health referrals, education, and support to the frum community. Rabbi Yisrael Slansky is director of the Baltimore branch of Relief. He can be contacted at 410-448-8356 or at yslansky@reliefhelp.org

The New Hustles Side Gigs Gone Mainstream By Chaim Homnick

mployment opportunities like Uber or platforms like Airbnb have helped coin a new term: “the gig economy.” People are increasingly looking for ways to make side cash in their spare time, whether that means taking a second job or renting rooms in their home or even flipping random items from around the house on eBay. For some, these gig economy jobs have actually become their fulltime pursuits and the rewards can be massive for the earliest adopters and self-trained experts of a new industry or platform. In the Jewish world, it seems like many similar “side gigs” have gone mainstream. Presumably, yeshiva graduates are tempted by the opportunity to pursue a new market, career or opportunity that doesn’t require a college degree. For other Orthodox Jews, the allure of pursuing business comes from a desire to support the expensive Orthodox lifestyle in a fashion that many traditional 9-to-5 career paths cannot sustain. Instead, entrepreneurs who enter these nascent fields need a willingness to apply themselves within an emerging industry and learn the ins and outs of the market until you know its nuances as well as or better than the companies that birthed the marketplace. Here are a few examples of industries that members of the Jewish community have been quick to adopt and adapt to:

Mileage/Points At first, credit card points just seemed like a nice spending perk to incentivize using cards over cash. Of course, the community was quickly at the forefront of realizing the inherent potential in a complex system with all types of built-in bonuses, spending thresholds, perks and more. For some, credit card points and miles remain a nice bonus for using

once-in-a-lifetime opportunities like throwing out a first pitch at the World Series. Peyd, located here in the Five Towns, helps businesses maximize their spending efficiency and increase their rewards earnings; they also help businesses and individuals book flights at the best rates. Interestingly, after the traditional travel agency business seemed doomed by the internet,

The casual fan resellers are the ones who treat it like the stock market.

their personal or business cards but the byzantine mechanisms and calculations of the industry remain a secret to the average consumer. However, bloggers like DansDeals and companies like Peyd have created an entire industry from scratch around this market. Dan Eleff of DansDeals notoriety empowers his followers to nab the best deals and educates them via his blog posts along the way. Eleff has shed light on everything from buying dollar coins from the U.S. Mint to meet new card spending thresholds and rack up points to using rewards points to buy

credit card rewards systems led to a resurgence in the value of travel agencies like Peyd that can help business and personal clients find elusive flights or pay impossibly low reward-based rates. At this point, these companies and others like them aren’t just looking for glitches in the American Express system; they work hand-in-hand with major credit cards, processors, and airlines.

Amazon/eBay Amazon started as a bookseller. Suffice it to say, Amazon has accelerated into the global leader of selling

almost anything. And where there is a nearly-infinite customer base, there are entrepreneurs looking for ways to serve those customers. Chaim Pikarsky is the CEO of C&A Marketing, a secretive company that operates out of Lakewood, New Jersey. The brilliance of his company is that he has a team of employees scouring Amazon reviews on products looking for features people wish existing products had. Wish there was a rechargeable waterproof pool/shower speaker with Bluetooth? Pikarsky creates one and fills a niche other companies didn’t even realize existed. Many people are searching Amazon for an “egg-cooker”? Designed, manufactured, branded and available on Amazon within weeks. The successful products can sell thousands and even end up in retail. Some other products might sell dozens and be discontinued. His company does millions of dollars selling products that range from quirky to brilliant, all by generating sales analytics based on content and data available for free on Amazon itself. Another fascinating business with roots in Lakewood, New Jersey, is cardcash.com. They buy and resell unwanted gift cards, making a small margin off the top of each transaction. An example: they might buy someone’s unwanted Target gift card for 80% of its value and then post it on their site and sell it for 95% of its sticker price. EBay seemed like a fun way to flip old trash from around the house or to bid

StubHub/Ticketmaster

and you are that confident, save yourself the time and drive into New Jersey to place a bet on the Yankees making the World Series and save yourself the hassle of selling 81+ games. Many Jews are active in the sports or concert resale market. Some do it as a hobby investment, others have parlayed it into a fulltime pursuit or a full-scale company. The top brokers even sign deals directly with teams at rates better than that team’s local season ticket holders get. However, this is an industry that evolves constantly. Teams and concert promoters got savvier quickly and many don’t like offering great deals only to watch resellers snap up all of the tickets resulting in actual fans paying more, with the profit margin ending up in the pockets of resellers. Teams have done everything from restricting resale rights, to only allowing buyers within 100 miles of the team, to tracking resale markets in order to actively confiscate tickets of resellers. The makers of Hamilton, enraged by reports that over 80% of presale tickets were bought by bots enabling resellers to collectively pocket $200,000 per week during Hamilton’s Broadway run, announced that seat prices would be raised so that “more of the profits would go to the creators of the product instead of to the resellers”. The Harry Potter play went to the greater extreme of refusing entry and cancelling any tickets that had been resold. Ultimately, business opportunity can spring up in unexpected places.

Not all side gigs are only vehicles for providing side income. While you might sell your Mets tickets on StubHub as a hobby or you open new credit cards via an Amex 3BM to earn signup bonuses, keep in mind that there are entrepreneurs out there who have built careers around these “side gigs” and the markets that have emerged in the

Interestingly, eBay owns StubHub after buying it for $310 million in 2007. Perhaps more surprisingly, most of eBay’s revenue increases can be attributed to StubHub’s rapid growth while eBay’s core marketplace has slowly declined. StubHub is the industry leader in the sports and concert marketplace that includes Ticketmaster, Seat Geek, Vivid Seats, and several other startups. StubHub mainstreamed the ticket scalping business which used to be the purview of shady characters hanging around stadiums with their caps pulled low and tickets stuffed in their pockets. Now, sellers get to focus on margins from the comfort of their armchair while StubHub or other ticket resale marketplaces act as a safe intermediary between the ticket sellers and buyers while the marketplace also guarantees the tickets will be valid or your money back (a major risk of oldstyle scalping or trusting Craigslist postings). The sports resale business can at times feel like another popular side gig: day trading on the stock market. However, there is a key difference. Stocks represent shares of a company while sports or event tickets are an actual commodity that has inherent value and a natural customer base. While prices can obviously fluctuate each time the Jets win or lose, the savviest scalpers look for value-generating tickets or exclusive bulk deals that ensure safer, steadier returns. Diversifying across teams, concerts, venues and more enables sellers to protect themselves from few poor investments. Plus, the big whales in this industry use all types of technology from bots to scripts to try to stay ahead of the curve. The casual fan resellers are the ones who treat it like the stock market. They’ll buy overpriced seats for the Yankees that have zero chance of earning a return unless the Yankees go to the World Series. If that’s your plan

technology age we live in. This article didn’t even explore stock market day traders, Jewish social media celebrities, and many other members of industries where a side gig can be turned into a full-time gig. It is another clear reminder that business success can come in a variety of industries or from the most unexpected places. We all know people who have become fabulously wealthy in industries or with products or companies that seem completely random or unexpected. An MBA is useful but so is a keen, inquisitive mind willing to experiment in a new field paired with a little serendipity from Above.

Accountants Behaving Badly, Part 40 By Allan Rolnick, CPA

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M

ig league baseball players like the ones who just wrapped up the World Series enjoy careers that last 5.9 years on average, and with 162 games per year, they enjoy lots of chances to be heroes. But eventually, even the best of them hang up their cleats and join the rest of us in the real world. The lucky ones find high-profile gigs running car dealerships or calling games from the broadcast booth. But every once in a while, a former player manages to makes headlines where you’d least expect them — like working as an accountant! Ben Hendrickson started out looking like he’d become one of the greats. In 2004, the promising righthander went 11-3 for the International League Indianapolis Indians and won league MVP honors. Then he got his start in the big leagues. Wearing #40, he pitched 11 games for the Milwaukee Brewers, finishing 1-10 with a 7.41 ERA. (If you’re not familiar with baseball stats, those numbers are no bueno.) Milwaukee sent him down to their Nashville farm team and eventually traded him away. But Hendrickson never made it back to “the show,” and his bright light faded away.

Fast forward to 2018. Hendrickson is working as an accountant for Floors Northwest in Fridley, Minnesota, just north of Minneapolis. Like all too many Americans, he’s working paycheck to paycheck and not getting ahead. How can he throw some heat and escape the grind? Hey, here’s an idea! Baseball runners who want to

ly blunt description for the charges against Hendrickson, which can mean trading him away for up to 20 years in a place with no organized baseball whatsoever. Here’s how the Minneapolis Star-Tribune described the criminal mastermind’s evil plan: While working for Floors North-

Which begs the question, just how bad an accountant do you have to be to not count how much you stole?

advance to the next base don’t have to wait for the batter to hit the ball…they can just take off running and steal it! So, if Hendrickson wants more money so badly, why not just steal it from the company? Last week, Anoka County District Court charged Hendrickson with four counts of “theft by swindle,” totaling about $250,000. That’s a refreshing-

west in Fridley, where Hendrickson worked for several years until he left his job last year, he would alter the amount of cash received to make it look like less was collected from sales staff. Hendrickson deposited the lower amount and kept the rest. Nearly $160,000 of the money he stole was taken in the final two years of his employment. He also allegedly shifted

$10,000 of the company’s money to a personal health care account that paid his medical bills. Hendrickson admits he stole the money…but says he thought he took between $50,000 and $75,000. Which begs the question: just how bad an accountant do you have to be to not count how much you stole? After failing at baseball and bookkeeping, Hendrickson may find that a few years in the metalworking field (specifically, stamping license plates for 11 cents/hour) may be just the vocational training he needs! We all understand wanting to get ahead. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to do it, without risking a trip to the pokey. Call us for a tax plan, and see how many dollars we can advance into your pocket. We think of your average tax rate as your financial “earned run average,” and we do everything legal to keep it as low as possible. So call us to take a swing, and watch us bring the heat!

Meat • Yields 8 servings • Freezer friendly By Naomi Nachman

Who doesn’t love a big bowl of onion soup? However, making it can be time-consuming, as you have to sauté the onions for a long time while stirring them. This recipe allows you to skip the sautéing, as your crockpot does all the work for you.

I’m excited to share my recipes from my brand-new cookbook, Perfect Flavors, published by ArtScroll with my loyal readers of TJH.

Combine onions, salt, pepper, and oil in a crockpot; stir to combine. Add flanken to the crockpot; cover with onion mixture. Cover; cook on high for 4-5 hours, until onions are golden brown. Add broth, wine, and miso paste; stir to combine. Cook on high for an additional hour. Cook’s Tip: Miso paste is a paste made from fermented bean curd. Used primarily in Japanese cooking, it adds umami, depth of flavor, to the dishes. Miso paste is available in a variety of colors; the darker the color, the stronger the flavor. I use them interchangeably.
