Dear Readers, Maybe it’s only me, but following every Purim, I’m left wondering who the real “me” is. Is the real me the naturally joyous and positive person who greets neighbor and stranger alike with warmth and automatic connection? Or is it the preand post-Purim me, worn down by fulfilling life’s continuous demands, who longs for the missing spark we once had, even if only a for a fleeting day. Which one is the mask, and which one is me? The practical answer is it depends on us; the more we live with the commitment and spirit the Yidden had at the time of the Purim story, the more quotidian pressures become external and the joy of life itself becomes internal. The more we connect daily to matters of the spirit, the more we’ll be able to respect, love, and appreciate others. The same feeling of brotherhood we had on the 14th of Adar with our year-round “nudnik neighbor” is suddenly reachable on a Monday morning. Our relationship with the Creator also evolves beyond a relationship of habit or even of force – “Since He exists, I must do what He says.” Rather, it becomes a personal and real connection. Hashem suddenly feels close. Mitzvot become a top priority and even enjoyable. Torah becomes a sweet delight. If we can choose to have Purim the entire year, shouldn’t we grab the chance? Wishing you a joyous Shabbos, Shalom

Shoppers Closings By: Melody Simmons – Reporter, Baltimore Business Journal

ll Shoppers Food & Pharmacy markets in the Baltimore metro area are likely to close this year as parent company United Natural Foods Inc. exits the retail business. The popular discount grocery chain has 36 stores in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., area — and 18 in greater Baltimore including Locust Point, Mondawmin Mall, Dundalk, Catonsville and Brooklyn Park. The move to close Shoppers has been in the works for several months as United Natural Foods Inc. restructures its business model to focus on wholesaling. The parent company acquired SuperValu, former parent company of Shoppers, in the fall. The Washington Business Journal reported this week that during a March 6 earnings call United Natural Foods

Inc. (NYSE: UNFI) leaders reported the company had a goal to sell off the stores in the near future. “We’re making great progress on divesting our retail assets,” CEO Steve Spinner told investors. “I’d say that we’re well down the path on selling Shoppers and I’m confident we’ll get that done in the coming months.” The Shoppers chain is the fourth largest grocer in the greater Baltimore area, a list published by the Baltimore Business Journal in September found. Last year, total sales in the 18 Baltimore area stores were $474.1 million. “Consider them all available,” said Mike Gioioso, vice president with MacKenzie Retail LLC based in Lutherville, of the Shoppers locations. “The real estate community is looking to make moves ahead of what they expect to be a difficult unwinding of the Shoppers’ boxes.” Shoppers exit would be the latest in an ongoing evolution of the local grocery and retail scene. The Mars Super Market chain

closed in 2016 and several of its locations were converted to new grocery stores including an Aldi and a Green Valley Marketplace at two former locations in Timonium. A former Kmart was converted to a Weis Market in Parkville and a 45,000-square-foot Sprouts Farmers Market replaced a Mars in the St. John’s Plaza in Ellicott City. The changes have left some real estate brokers working overtime to find new tenants for the former gro-

cery space — including the Shoppers locations, some of which could soon be rendered vacant retail boxes. One potential tenant is Giant Food. The Landover-based grocer said in December it plans to expand in the coming two years and will soon move into a former Shoppers in Olney that will add a Starbucks, sushi bar and 30 new jobs. A Giant spokesman declined to comment Thursday on the chain’s interest in other Baltimore area Shoppers locations.

The Week In News

Trump Recognizes Golan as Israeli Territory

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order officially recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who was visiting from Israel, at the White House

Trump noted that the order was “a long time in the making” and “should have taken place many decades ago.” “Israel is an inspiration, a trusted ally, and a cherished friend. The United States will always stand by its side,” Trump added. The move comes after Trump’s Thursday statement, in which he said the Golan Heights is “of critical strategic and security importance” for both Israel and the Middle East. “After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!” he wrote on Twitter. At the White House this week, Netanyahu recalled the long Jewish history of the mountainous plateau along the Syrian border, while stressing it was “invaluable” to Israel’s self-defense and saying the “historic decision has profound meaning for me and us and all Israelis.” Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and extended Israeli law to the territory

in 1981, a step tantamount to annexation. The UN Security Council and successive U.S. administrations have always regarded the Golan as occupied territory whose return would be negotiated as part of a comprehensive peace deal between Israel and Syria. In the wake of Trump’s proclamation, fellow veto-wielding UN Security Council permanent members Britain and France have both said they will continue to consider the Golan Heights Israeli-occupied in line with council resolutions, as have China and Russia.

Jordan Cancels Romania Visit to Protest Embassy Move

Jordan’s King Abdullah II scuttled his scheduled visit to Romania in protest of Romanian Prime Minister Vorica Dancila’s announcement that she would move her country’s embassy to Jerusalem. Abdullah was slated to visit Romania on Monday. “The decision came in solidarity with Jerusalem, following Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dancila’s remarks on Sunday, expressing the intention to move her country’s embassy to Jerusalem,” said a statement by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry. As the official head of the Islamic Waqf, which controls the Temple Mount, Jordan has traditionally led the Arab world in all matters pertaining to Jerusalem. Abdullah has strenuously opposed any changes to Israel’s capital and has lobbied world leaders not to transfer their embassies to Jerusalem. Earlier on Monday, Romania said that it would become the first European country to transfer its embassy to Jerusalem in what is a major victory for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Roma-

nian Prime Minister Viorica Dancila first announced the move at the annual pro-Israel lobby AIPAC conference. “I am pleased to announce today ... that, after the finalization of assessments and with all constitutional actors involved in the decision-making process and in full agreement, I as Prime Minister of Romania, and the government that I run, will move our embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Israel,” Dancilla said to thunderous applause. The Romanian leader finished her speech with the Hebrew phrase “next year in Jerusalem.” Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez also told the conference that his country plans on opening a diplomatic mission in Jerusalem within the next year, joining a similar mission recently opened by Guatemala. A number of countries have broken the diplomatic taboo and moved their embassies to Jerusalem since U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he recognized the city as Israel’s capital back in 2018. No European nation has followed suit, however, until Romania’s announcement. The decision marks a serious break with the EU, which opposes any recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital until a final status peace deal with the Palestinians is reached.

Mossad Agent Who Captured Eichmann Dies Rafi Eitan, the Mossad agent who led the operation to capture Adolf Eichmann and bring him to trial, died on Saturday at the age of 92. Born to Russian immigrants in Harod in 1926, Eitan grew up in Ramat Hasharon. As a young adult, he joined the pre-State Palmah underground and suffered injuries during Israel’s War of Independence. Considered to be among the founders of Israel’s intelligence community, Eitan served as the head of Israel’s Lekem intelligence agency and as Jonathan Pollard’s handler. During his time with the Mossad, Eitan led the operation to bring Eichmann to trial, a move which eventually led to the Nazi’s execution.

The Week In News The 1960 operation to capture Eichmann in Argentina and bring him to trial in Jerusalem was the Mossad’s most historic mission and remains one of the defining episodes in Israel’s history. His trial brought to life the horrors of the Nazi “Final Solution,” which followed Eichmann’s blueprint for liquidating the entire Jewish population of Europe. Eichmann

was convicted in 1961 of war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was hanged the following year – the only time the State of Israel has carried out the death sentence. Known as the “architect of the Holocaust” for his role in coordinating the Nazi genocide policy, Eichmann fled Germany after World War II and assumed the name Ricardo Klement in Argentina.

Eitan, who headed the seven-man team on the ground, grabbed Eichmann on the way back to his Buenos Aires home, shoved him into a car and spirited him to a safe house. In the backseat of the car, one agent shoved a gloved hand inside Eichmann’s mouth in case he had a cyanide pill hidden in a tooth, as some former top Nazis were known to have to foil their capture. Eitan identified Eichmann by searching

his body for distinctive scars on his arm and stomach. “And once I felt it, I was convinced. This is the man – we got Eichmann,” he recalled years later. Several Israeli leaders mourned Eitan this week. Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin said, “We have lost a brave fighter whose contribution to Israel’s security will be taught for generations to come. Rafi was a born fighter who stuck to his mission and to what he knew to be right. Our heads are bowed today in his memory, and we part from him in sorrow and thanks, and with deep appreciation for his contribution to the people and the country.”

“Rafi was one of the heroes of the State of Israel’s intelligence service in countless acts for Israel’s security,” Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu noted. “There was no match for his wisdom, wit and endless commitment to the people of Israel and our country.” Current Mossad Director Yossi Cohen praised Eitan as “one of the founding pillars of the intelligence community and the Mossad in particular” and emphasized that “his actions will be enshrined on the gold list of the history of the State.” “The fundamentals that Rafi laid in the early years of the state are a significant part of the Mossad’s operations even today,” he added.

which ended with 11 inmates injured by riot control measures fired by Israeli special forces to quell the melee. One of the guards suffered stab wounds to the neck, while the second needed stiches in his hand. The two were helicoptered to Beersheva’s Soroka Medical for treatment. Prison officials said that the inmates had rushed at the guards with crude knives made out of everyday objects while they were being transferred to another wing in the prison.

The stabbing came during a recent uptick in violence at Israel’s maximum-security prisons following a decision by jailers to crack down on inmates’ illegal cell phone usage inside the jail. In recent weeks, guards have increased raids meant to root out illegal smartphones that were smuggled into the prisons and have announced that they will install a cellular jamming device behind bars. The welfare of prisoners is a provocative issue among the Hamas rank and file, and the organization has vowed to “protect the rights of our warriors.” Last week, Hamas coordinated a jailhouse riot in the nearby Ramon prison that resulted in a cell being torched as part of their protest of Israel’s new policy. “The movement calls on our people, its factions, and elites to immediately support [our prisoners] in a large way with all means and tools and to quickly take action with all parties and institutions to protect them,” Hamas said in a statement.

7 Hurt After Rocket Explodes in Central Israel Seven Israelis were hurt after their house suffered a direct hit by

a Hamas rocket in central Israel on Monday. The medium-range rocket had hit the home of the Wolf family at 5a.m. in Moshav Mishmeret, a small community north of Tel Aviv. The family had fled to the bomb shelter only seconds before, narrowly avoiding an almost certain death. The rocket killed the family’s four pet dogs and totally destroyed the structure. The missile barrage came after two rockets hit Tel Aviv last week, in what Hamas officials reportedly said was “a mistake.” One 59-year-old woman was moderately hurt in the explosion and suffered burns and other injuries caused by flying shrapnel. Another 30-year-old woman was also moderately injured in her leg and suffered from trauma.

Following the explosion, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short his visit to Washington and returned to Israel early in order to coordinate the military response. “There was a criminal attack on the State of Israel, and we will respond forcefully,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “In a few hours, I will meet with President Trump and immediately afterwards I will return to Israel in order to oversee our activities.” The IDF dispatched two armored brigades to the Gaza border and called up a limited number of reservists. Later that evening, Israeli warplanes pounded Hamas targets all across the Gaza Strip, including the office of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and a secret facility used for intelligence purposes. Hamas said in a statement that the rockets were a response to a re-

Newsweek magazine, together with the global market research and consumer data company Statista Inc., recently ranked Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center as one of the top 10 hospitals globally. “The hospitals on this list are at the forefront of adapting to these new challenges while providing top-notch patient care,” Newsweek said. “The hospitals on our list are all world leaders in health care, but these are the very best – the top 10, according to Newsweek’s panel of doctors, medical professionals and administrators across four continents.” The magazine ranked Sheba – otherwise known as Tel Hashomer Hospital – as number ten on its list. “Sheba Medical Center – or Tel HaShomer Hospital – in Tel Aviv is a leader in medical science and biotechnical innovation, both in the Middle East and worldwide,” the magazine wrote. “The center’s collaborations with international parties have advanced innovative medical practices, hospital systems and biotechnology. The tertiary referral hospital, affiliated with Tel Aviv University, includes

Israel’s Foreign Ministry summarily rejected the Council’s report. “The Human Rights Council repeated today its absurd, hypocritical ritual of creating a Commission of Inquiry singling out Israel, whose findings against Israel are predetermined, and then adopting them, all the while ignoring reality on the ground,” it said. “Israel will continue to exercise its right of self-defense and will protect its citizens against terror and aggression. Israel will not cooperate with the Council on the issue,” the Foreign Ministry added. Twenty-three countries voted in favor of the resolution, with fourteen abstentions, nine dissidents, and one absence. Countries voting in favor of the resolution unsurprisingly included: Afghanistan, Angola, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cuba, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Mexico,

Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia. The nine nations voting against the resolution were Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Fiji, Hungary, Togo, and the Ukraine. Abstaining nations included Argentina, the Bahamas, the Congo, Croatia, Denmark, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, Nepal, Rwanda, Slovakia, the UK, and Uruguay.

Bibi Vows to Sue Leftist Rival for Libel Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Friday that he was planning to sue Blue and White party heads Benny Gantz and Moshe Ya’alon for libel. The move comes after Ya’alon implied that Netanyahu’s actions in the submarine affair “might constitute

treason.” In a Facebook video, Netanyahu slammed the claim, emphasizing that it is “serious incitement” and cannot be ignored. He also said he would sue MK Yair Lapid – another of Blue and White’s leaders – but cannot since Lapid is an MK and therefore immune.

Lapid, for his part, offered to remove his immunity and allow Netanyahu to sue him, since Lapid himself – “not Benny Gantz, not Bogie (Moshe) Ya’alon, and not Gabi Ashkenazi – called you a traitor in the submarine affair.” “I am removing my immunity,” Lapid added, emphasizing that he “stands behind what he said.”

“Sue me,” Lapid threatened. Netanyahu himself is not a suspect in the submarine affair. However, recent revelations show that he once held shares in a company which was later acquired by the German ThyseenKrupp company which sold submarines to Israel. The prime minister’s failure to declare his investments constitutes a conflict of interest, opponents say. Netanyahu himself said that he only held shares as a Knesset member, not as a coalition member, and that there is “no connection” between the shares he previously held and the submarines’ purchase. “In 2010 I sold my shares in the company,” the prime minster noted. “This was a year and a half before Israel signed the deal to buy the first submarine during my term. It was two years before the Germans sold submarines to the Egyptians. So there was no connection between the issues. It’s libel.” He added, “They are telling a lie because they know I cannot tell a state secret in the studio.”

“Portrait of Dora Maar,” a prized Picasso painting, was stolen from a Saudi sheikh’s yacht on the French Riviera in 1999. The piece of art is worth 25 million euros. Recently, Arthur Brand – also known as the “Indiana Jones of the Art World” – found the rare portrait of Maar and handed it over to an insurance company. The discovery was the culmination of a four-year investigation into the burglary. Two decades after its theft and with no clues to its whereabouts, the French police were stumped – and the portrait, which once hung in the Spanish master’s home until his death in 1973, was feared lost forever. But after a four-year trail which led through the Dutch criminal underworld, two intermediaries turned up on Brand’s Amsterdam doorstep 10 days ago with the missing picture. “They had the Picasso, now valued at 25 million euros wrapped in a sheet and black rubbish bags with them,” Brand told AFP. The theft had baffled police and alarmed the super-rich. In 2015, Brand heard that a Picasso stolen from a ship was circulating in the Netherlands. The painting was being used as collateral in criminal circles in drug and arms deals. He ascertained that the painting in question was the “Portrait of Dora Maar” and put word out on the street that he was looking for it. Two representatives of a Dutch businessman contacted Brand. They had thought that the painting was a legitimate piece – they were unaware that it was stolen, they said. Last week, the men brought the painting to Brand, who verified it with police and art experts. This was yet another success for Brand, who hit the headlines last year for returning a stolen 1,600-year-old mosaic to Cyprus. Brand’s sleuthing skills are a work of art.

A distillery has announced its giant mixing truck, which looks like a hybrid of a cement mixer and a martini shaker, is going on a tour of Florida.

The truck, unveiled for the first time at Arizona Cocktail Week in February, will be shaking up drinks called the “Mixed Up Monkey.” The drink features Monkey Shoulder whiskey, mint simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, soda, and mint leaves. After drinking all that alcohol, they may rename you the Mixed Up Monkey.

Recently, the vegan and gluten-free boozy beverage was awarded a double gold medal for “Best Flavored Whiskey” at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. Apparently, nothing goes together like peanut butter and spirits. And a little bit of jelly in your hamantashen wouldn’t hurt either.

Torah Thought

Don’t Just Keep Kosher, Be Kosher!

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

By Rabbi Zvi Teichman

“Is that product kosher?” “Does he engage in kosher business practices?” “He is truly an ‫אדם כשר‬, a kosher person!” We use the word ‘kosher’ widely, as a general term in describing whether something or someone is appropriate and upstanding. Yet this exact word '‫'כשר‬, kosher, in this exact form appears only once in the entire Torah. When Esther asks for Achashverosh’s intercession in abolishing Haman’s decree, she asks ‫ כשר הר לפני‬...‫אם‬ )‫המלך (אסתר ח ה‬, if the proposal seems proper in the King’s opinion.

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

Although this word is used loosely in many applications in the context of propriety without addressing any detail specifically, there is one facet of Jewish law where this word is used in a very technical and definitive sense. In the realm of the laws governing ritual purity, in order for a food item to ‘absorb’ ‫טומאה‬, impurity, through

contact with an entity that is defiled, the item must first be ‘wetted’ with intention. ‫מכל האוכל אשר יאכל אשר יבוא‬ )‫עליו מים יטמא (ויקרא יא לד‬, Of any food that is edible, upon which water comes, shall become contaminated. This wetting process by which food becomes susceptible to receive impurity is called ‫הֶ כְ ֹשֶ ר‬, hechsher, its ‘preparation’. There is an entire tractate in Mishna entitled Machshirin, devoted to the intricacies of this law. So a ‘hechsher’ is not simply a license to eat but rather an identified state of being and preparedness. Ironically it is water, the vehicle through which purity is conveyed to those contaminated individuals who immerse in it, that enables a food item to become defiled. On a simple level this ‘wetting’ requirement may merely reflect on

the need for the food to first becoming labeled as such, since only after it has been washed intentionally for the purpose of washing it and cleaning it for human consumption, is it ‘worthy’ of contracting impurity. Prior to its preparation we treat it as an ‘unfinished vessel’ that isn’t yet liable to contamination. But the Ramban reveals there is more going on here. In what seems as a very practical explanation he suggests that the necessity of food to have been wetted before it is capable of absorbing impurity, is simply due to the fact, ‫כי לכלוך השרץ והמטמאים ידבק‬ ‫במאכלים בלחות ולא כן ביבשים‬, that the dirt of the dead rodent and other contaminants cling to wet fruit and not to dry food. Is it that simple? Is it being externally wet and thus able to pick up ‘dirt’ more easily, all there is to this requirement of hechsher? Water is the most vital contributor to life, without it all human, animal and plant life would cease to exist. From water stems all of creation. It is the element that unifies, in a physical sense, all of creation. Its very nature extolls unity. One of the unique characteristics of water is its strong molecular bond that enables water to rise above the rim of a glass and not rupture. This is commonly known as cohesion, reflecting on this quality of water to hold it all together. The procedure of the immersion of one contaminated with impurity in water, is called tevillah. One fully submerges in total submission to this life force, expressing willingness to aver absolute obedience to the Creator, the ultimate force behind all oneness, and with that attitude produce a pristine state of tahara, purity. But that same item that symbolizes

the cohesiveness of the universe also can easily attract ‘shmutz’, dirt. Water has an additional property called adhesion, which is the attraction between water molecules and other molecules. This attraction is sometimes stronger than water’s cohesive force. Adhesion is observed when water ‘climbs’ up slightly on the sides of a glass, where the water appears to be higher on the sides than in the middle. Our challenge in life is to not allow the pull of external contamination to break the ‘surface tension’ of our sense of purpose and direction in maintaining G-d’s oneness in our allegiance to Him during our physical sojourn in this world. Perhaps this is the very message in this concept of hechsher, ‘preparation’ for impurity. As we partake of food, the nourishment that energizes our existence, giving us the strength to ‘conquer’ the world, we must remain vigilant. We wash our fruit with the life force that draws our attention to our central goal of promoting His oneness in all our actions. At the same time we remain purposefully aware of the ‘sticky’ danger of being pulled away from that goal and being drawn into the ‘muck’ of a tempting world that contaminates. So being ‫כשר‬, kosher, is not simply about ‘checking the ingredients’ of what we seek to consume. It is rather about maintaining a state of preparedness and mindfulness of our role as representatives of G-d’s ‘cohesive’ presence in the world. The Minchas Elazar reveals a remarkable idea. We just celebrated the holiday of Purim and the stated goal of eradicating the evil forces of Amalek )‫מתחת השמים (שמות יז יד‬, from under the heavens. If one takes the

letters that are ‘under’ the letters -‫מ‬-‫ש‬ ‫ם‬-‫י‬, one gets the letters ‫נ‬-‫כ‬-‫נ‬-‫ת‬, which are numerically equivalent to the word ‫כשר‬, kosher. (520) ‫ימי‬-‫(שערי יששכר‬ )‫ששון‬ Amalek’s mission is the denial of G-d’s unified involvement in a physical world. The way we defeat them is by remaining ‘prepared’ and ever cognizant of our existence ‘under the heavens’. One can’t simply keep kosher, one must ‘be’ kosher! ‘Being’ kosher requires constancy since being kosher/prepared only ‘some of the time’ is a contradiction in terms. There are three words that share the same letters: ‫ר ֻכֹש‬,ְ possessions, ‫ ִֹשּכֹר‬, a drunkard and ‫ ָּכֹשֵ ר‬, prepared. Our ‘possessions’ are the varied opportunities we have in life where we are entrusted to inspire them with G-d’s presence and will. If we remain ‘vigilant’ then we are indeed ‘kosher’, but if we mindlessly wander from pleasure to pleasure we are simply ‘drunk’! )‫(מי מלא‬ After reading the portion of Zachor, our obligation to erase the philosophy of Amalek from our lives, we then go on to read the portion of Parah, the command to purify ourselves from the impurity of death. We read this in preparation of Pesach when in the times the Temple stood we would bring the Paschal lamb. We would first have to undergo purification through the ritual of the Red Heifer that removed the impurity we contracted from coming in contact with the dead, thus enabling us to bring and eat the Paschal lamb in purity. We read this portion prior to the entry of the month of Nissan even though when the Temple stood there was ample time to initiate this ritual after the onset of the month of Nissan.

In fact its first initiation during the erecting of the Mishkan was on the second of Nissan. The Jerusalem Talmud says we read it so early to herald ‫טהרתן של יש־‬ ‫ראל‬, the purity of Israel. Perhaps it is this very notion that is being promoted. In order to enter the realm of adhering to the many halachic details that appear in the month of Nissan one must first pledge allegiance to being a kosher/prepared Jew. Especially when it comes to the realm of encountering tumah, impurity, which is totally out of our control since someone can unexpectedly die in our presence or a dead rodent can suddenly fall atop our food, we need an extra dose of Syata D’Shmaya, Divine assistance and intervention. If we remain alert to our responsibilities to G-d, He in turn will be watchful over us and keep us away from taint. The Minchas Elazar suggests that is why we wish one another ‫א כשר'ע‬ ‫פסח‬, a kosher Pesach. We strive that we should attain this level of preparedness that will merit us the special attention from our Father in Heaven in protecting us from even stumbling over a morsel of leaven. If we put ourselves to this task, he adds, we will merit the bounty of blessings G-d so desires to bestow upon us, as indicated in King David’s exultant joy when he expressed, ‫שש‬ ‫אנכי על אמרתך כמוצא שלל רב (תהלים‬ )‫קיט קסב‬, Rejoice I do over Your word, like one who finds abundant spoils. The first letters in this joyous discovery of abundant spoils, ‫כמוצא שלל‬ ‫ רב‬spell out ‫ ָּכֹשֵ ר‬, kosher! To those who are vigilantly ‘kosher’, go the spoils!

Activism or Anarchy By Rabbi Motty Rabinowitz

While enjoying the Purim festivities with our families and friends, we no doubt noticed the contrast between the historic events that led to the Purim miracle, and the epic story that comprises the upcoming Pesach YomTov. The previous Slonimer Rebbe in his renowned work Nesivos Sholom delineates a demarcation line between the biblical happenings that gave us

Pesach, Succos and Shevuos, and the later events that occurred during and after the Babylonian exile. The earlier miracles required little if any input and effort from the Jewish people – they were all classic and explicit miracles, inspired from above. The later miracles however, were all initiated and triggered by human action. Without the courage and initiative by

Mordechai and Esther, the Purim story would never have unfolded. Similarly, without the revolutionary spirit kindled by Mattisyahu and his sons, there would have been no Chanukah salvation from the Greeks and Hellenists. When we are in exile without prophetic guidance, we are tasked to not wait for blatant miracles, but to self-start with creative activism to ensure the continuity of the Jewish people. Interestingly, this approach comes under extreme scrutiny in this week’s Torah Reading. In the sole narrative in the book of Vayikra, the Torah details the untimely deaths of Nadav and Avihu, two of Aharon’s sons. As the apparent reason for their demise, we are told that they introduced a ‘foreign fire’ to the service in the Tabernacle. However, delving into the Midrashim, we are offered a smorgasbord of alternate reasons for their deaths; they didn’t get married, they didn’t have children, they conspired to ouster Moshe and Aharon, they didn’t consult with one another, and more. Regardless of the merits of each alternate explanation, the mere presence of this literature begs understanding. Given the seemingly explicit description of their transgression, why does the Midrash look for radically different substitute approaches? When a child acts up and causes mayhem, there might be many symptoms and outlets for an underlying issue. An intuitive parent or a trained professional will be able to paste together the symptoms and understand the root cause, instead of implementing local band-aids for each individual symptom. Similarly, if we contemplate the plethora of possible transgressions listed by the Midrash, they all lead in the same direction. Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch explains that while Nadav and Avihu were inspired to serve G-d in the Mishkan, they wanted to do it their way. The limitations and parameters stipulated to the Kohanim were too rigid for them, they aspired to add their own creativity and individuality to their mission. The Torah emphasizes their failing with the words, “That He did not command them”. They formulated for themselves what they should or should not follow. To this G-d re-

sponded – “Do what you are told and don’t add or deviate”! We are now presented with a confusing dichotomy between such conservative thinking and the need for creative change. Do we restrict any innovation and stifle modern ingenuity? Or are we encouraged to step forward to the plate, and donate our individual talents to enact transformation and improvement? Undoubtedly, the answer is both. Life is not about the extremes of black and white - it is mostly lived in the nuanced depths of gray. Surely, we must boldly take steps to assist our brethren, to improve our moral standards and educational aspirations. We must seek to positively impact the world. Radical ideas are not necessarily meshuga. But with those actions, and even minor adaptations, we enter a hellish danger zone. We can go too far – we can cross the line. The aim is to construct, not destruct; to build, not to demolish. Without adequate forethought, we can easily end up endangering the very society we aim to improve, or ruining the base values and foundations that we so adamantly defend. Our activism can end up creating anarchy. This breeds an ongoing tension, and requires a balanced approach before action is taken, especially on a communal, national or global level. I can’t imagine a more pertinent time to elaborate this point. The current political climate across the world is toxic, and the environment ripe for radical steps. What will be with Brexit? What is the future of American Democracy? Israeli elections are now just around the corner. In each country, there is a natural instinct to angrily tear down the former institutions and drastically start from scratch. While taking bold steps might be necessary at times as in the Purim story, even relatively minor modifications in other scenarios can possibly be disastrous. We must surely carefully consider our motivations and actions, pursue a balanced and harmonious approach to change, and tread carefully. If we can pursue a thoughtful, considerate and inspired path, we may indeed add more light to our world. The author can be reached at mottyrab@gmail.com

Avraham Levinger Saving 2 Lives in 2 Days By Raphael Poch

OCTOBER 29, 2015 | The Jewish Home

ednesday at 2:00p.m., Avraham Levinger, 27, was on his way to his afternoon job teaching when he was alerted about a man who had fainted. On his ambucycle, Avraham raced through the congested streets to arrive on site in under 60 seconds. A 50-year-old man lay unconscious on the ground. Together with another United Hatzalah medic, Levinger quickly checked the unconscious man, finding that he had not just fainted, he was pulseless. The medics sprung into full-blown CPR and radioed United Hatzalah dispatch for additional manpower plus an intensive care ambulance. Within minutes, another two United Hatzalah volunteers arrived and assisted with the intense chest compressions, systematic ventilations, and four shocks from the defibrillator. The team’s efforts were critical in keeping oxygenated blood flowing to the man’s brain and vital organs during the 14-minute wait for the ambulance. Cardiac drugs were administered, and the medics kept up the fight for the man’s life for another 15 minutes until his pulse suddenly returned. The patient was whisked away to the hospital in serious but stable condition. The very next day, at about 3:30p.m., a 52-year-old woman in

the supermarket was checking out when in mid-purchase she collapsed to the floor. The cashier screamed, shoppers panicked, and a level-headed worker called emergency services. Once again, the residents of Beit Shemesh saw Avraham on his speedy ambucycle flying through the local streets on his way to save a life. Arriving in 90 seconds, Avraham rapidly joined another United Hatzalah

rigorous CPR. An ambulance arrived, and the crew joined the battle to fight for the relatively young woman’s life. Finally, after 25 minutes of strenuous CPR and one more shock from the defibrillator, the team succeeded in restoring the woman’s pulse. The patient was stabilized before being rushed to the hospital for further emergency care. Avraham later heard that the

volunteer who had just begun CPR on the pulseless woman right there in the checkout aisle. Other medics arrived as well as the police, who distanced curious onlookers from the immediate area. Avraham attached the defibrillator pads and the device advised a shock. The woman’s body jerked from the powerful electric jolt, after which the medics resumed their

woman had regained full consciousness and was scheduled to be released from the hospital this week. Levinger spoke about his passion for volunteering and emergency medicine. “As a volunteer of United Hatzalah I never have a ‘normal’ day. I don’t know what emergencies I will get called out to and how painful those

emergencies will be. I, therefore, always have to maintain a relaxed state of mind mixed with professionalism and readiness. Many times the calls come in at the most inconvenient times but I still rush out to answer them hoping that it won’t mess up my plans too badly, but even when it does I don’t keep score. I go and try to provide whatever help I can. “The moments of true satisfaction are sweetest when I get an instance of a successful CPR or I see the worry on the faces of the patients and their loved ones when I rush in and they know that someone who can help has arrived.” Levinger added, “What really drives me, as a person who volunteers, is the encouragement and support that I, as well as my fellow volunteers, receive from the organization itself which supplies us with everything we need. I always hope that I will meet people at happy occasions, but even when it is during medical emergencies, I try to greet everyone with a smile and help lift up their spirits as well as treat their injuries or illnesses.” Driving his ambucycle almost everywhere he goes, Levinger is answering emergencies as they come and is ready and waiting for the next time he is called upon to save a life.

Health & F tness

Why You’re Gaining Back the Weight You Lost By Aliza Beer MS, RD

n 1990, adults with obesity made up less than 15% of the U.S. population. Today, that number has swelled (pun intended) to a whopping 40%. In addition, a staggering 80% of people with obesity who lose weight will gain it back! Why is this happening? Kevin Hall, a physicist and scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), started watching The Biggest Loser several years ago and saw contestants were losing 20 pounds a week. He decided to study 14 of the contestants for a scientific paper, in hopes to learn how they were losing weight so quickly. His results were unexpected and have led to much more research in this area. Hall learned that in the long run, the body will fight hard to get that fat back. Over time, 13 out of the 14 contestants Hall studied gained on average 66% of the weight they’d lost on the show, and four became even heavier than they were before the competition. This news would make even the most avid dieter depressed. Why bother trying? But we must try because a 2017 study found that obesity now drives more early preventable deaths in the U.S. than smoking. Last year the NIH provided an estimated $931 million in funding for obesity research. This research has given us a better understanding as to why dieting is so hard and why keeping the weight off over time is even harder. Leading researchers finally

agree that exercise is critical to good health, but on its own is not a reliable way to lose weight. No, you cannot burn off a muffin a day on the treadmill! The researchers also now know that the best diet for you is very likely not the best diet for your neighbor, or sister, or friend. Individual responses to different diets, from low fat, vegan, paleo, and keto, vary enormously. Scientists are showing that the key to weight loss is highly personalized rather than the adoption of trendy diets. What can cause someone to gain back the lost weight? Several reasons. One is that when you lose weight, your resting metabolism (how much energy your body uses when at rest) slows down. However, Hall discovered that even when the contestants gained back some of their weight, their resting metabolism didn’t speed up along with it. Instead, it remained low, burning about 700 fewer calories per day than it did before they started losing weight in the first place. These findings make it seem as if the body itself will sabotage any effort to keep the weight off in the long term. But Hall claims that a slower metabolism is not the full story. He has seen many people lose weight and successfully keep it off. The key is finding the right diet for you as an individual and making it a way of life. Rena Wing, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University, has run the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) as a

way to track people who successfully lose weight and keep it off. To qualify for initial inclusion in the registry, a person must have lost at least 30 pounds and maintained that weight loss for a year or longer. Today the registry includes more than 10,000 people from across all 50 states with an average weight loss of 66 pounds per person. On average, people on the current list have kept their weight off for more than five years. One the most surprising details about the registry: everyone on the list has lost significant amounts of weight – but in different ways. Some did it on their own, some were under the care of registered dietitians or physicians. Despite the differences with methods, the researchers identified several similarities with the vast majority: • They eat breakfast: People in the NWCR eat their morning meal everyday. Research suggests this helps control insulin and jump-starts the metabolism. • They exercise every day: They average about an hour of exercise a day. The most common exercise is walking. • Less TV: They watch less than 10 hours of TV a week. Less TV means more time for walking! • Don’t be afraid of the scale: They weigh themselves at least once a week. By doing so, they give themselves the chance to make tweaks to their diets/exercise if their weight starts creeping up. When my clients reach their goals, my last word

of advice is to weigh themselves at least once a week going forward. Ignorance is bliss, but facing the scale every week will help avert re-gaining the weight. • Attitudes and behavior: Most wake up early and are morning people. Research shows that night owls tend to weigh more. Motivation is another key factor. Many are motivated by a health scare or the desire to live a longer life. People lose weight through different means. The successful dieter makes these changes a way of life and must alter everyday behavior for the long term. If the diet is too restrictive, then the chances of success are dim. It’s unrealistic for that person to sustain that level of restriction long term, so they finally relapse into old habits and gain back the weight. For example, when I hear someone is on such a restrictive diet where they cannot even drink a cup of coffee, I know that their success will only be short-lived. Maintenance takes work and a focused mindset. Use moderation, not deprivation, and you will be able to enjoy your life at a healthy weight.

When the Philadelphia Phillies lost their ninth consecutive game toward the end of last September, veteran first baseman Carlos Santana felt like he needed to send a message to his teammates who he said spent portions of the game against the Atlanta Braves playing video games in the clubhouse. Santana grabbed a bat, retreated to the room at Citizens Bank Park where the gaming took place, and smashed the TV to ensure there would be no more “Fortnite” the final two days of the season. “I see a couple players – I don’t want to say names – they play video games during the game,” Santana told ESPN. “We come and lose too many games, and I feel like they weren’t worried about it.

Dating Dialogue

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

Dear Navidaters,

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

My sister is dating someone whom a good friend of mine dated a number of years ago. I’m not even sure she’s aware of this fact. Anyway, I do remember what happened when they were dating and at the time, after a little while, he showed his true nature to her – and it wasn’t good. He started off being extremely thoughtful and charming and was really very easy to fall for. But after a while, it became clear that she needed to end the relationship, and thank G-d she did.

My sister is 26 years old, and I’m under the impression that she is quite desperate to get married already. I think she is ready to settle, and I’m afraid she’ll settle for this guy who I know is no good. The problem is that my sister and I really don’t get along all that well. We’re very different and we’ve always had a stressful relationship. In fact, ever since I got married a couple of years ago and moved to a different neighborhood, we really don’t go out of our way to be in touch at all. I’ll see her at family events, but that’s about it. Some of the details that I know about this guy are kind of awful, but I don’t know how I can suddenly, out of the blue, call her up and start badmouthing someone that my parents tell me she is crazy about. Do I just mind my own business and let her figure things out, hopefully, on her own or is there some way for me to give her a heads up that she is moving in a dangerous direction?

Our intention is not to offer any definitive

conclusions to any particular question, rather offer areas of exploration for the author and reader. 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. We hope to open up meaningful dialogue and individual exploration.

The Panel Reader's Response

irstly, I respect and admire your care and concern for your sister, despite the possible tension there is between the two of you. In my opinion, family is the number one priority. Whether you get along perfectly with your siblings, or you fight day in and day out, I believe that family (and siblings specifically) should always have each other’s back. In this particular example, you have to contemplate how serious marriage really is. Spending your entire life with the person that is right for you, your soulmate. By allowing your sister to move forward with this man, it may someday seriously hurt her. Not only will she be in pain, but you will feel just as bad knowing that you stood by and didn’t say anything. I would advise you to write a heartfelt, meaningful, and very honest letter to her, or maybe even go out for lunch just the two of you. Discuss it in-depth, and let her hear everything you have to say. By doing this, she may feel a bit attacked and a bit defensive, but she will feel loved and cared for. She will think about the things you said and she will hopefully reconsider moving forward with this man. If she does, she will forever be grateful and it’ll all be owed to you. There is nothing greater in the world than having a close bond with your parents and your siblings. I, for one, am an only girl in my family and hope that someday you will realize how lucky you are to have a sister in your life. I wish you only success in the decision that you make.

The Rebbetzin Rebbetzin Faigie Horowitz, M.S. ou have two problems here. One is your relationship with your sister. The other is communicating

with her about the dangerous fellow she is dating. The first is going to take long term work and energy on your part. It is apparent that you feel for her and care about her but you have not invested enough in the relationship to accomplish the notification of the facts that you have. You question your ability to be heard given that the two of you have a strained relationship. So what to do? Write your sister a long, honest letter. Start with acknowledging that your relationship is not what you would like it to be. Take responsibility. Acknowledge that you may have made mistakes in the past and you really want to spend time together and share going forward. Do not blame and go back into your history and differences. Tell her that you care about her, tell her that you love her, and hope that you can reach a place of greater closeness. Commit to the effort involved. Suggest that you have regular coffee dates, phone dates, shopping dates, or whatever you both enjoy doing. Tell her that you will understand if she doesn’t respond to all of your overtures but you will continue to do so. You are sisters by birth but you want to be sisters by choice as well. So start sending her thoughtful/funny messages, inviting her for Shabbos and sharing. Telling your sister directly about the guy she is dating and his crazy attitude probably won’t work right now. You may blow your long-term relationship if you tell her when your relationship is not strong enough. She may shoot the messenger, or the history of your bad communication will impact the ability to deliver a message that will be heard. Therefore, you may consider reaching out to one of her close friends that you respect and trust. Don’t just tell her the facts. Be honest about the current state of your relationship with your sister, your interest in improving things, and your concern that she knows the facts about Mr. Dangerous. Tell

your sister’s friend that you are working on your relationship with your sister but you are turning to her to help out with getting the incriminating facts to your sister who will probably not want to hear them from you. She may come up with a solution and be willing to tell your sister the facts, suggest to your sister that she reach out to you, or some other method. Bringing in a third party into a tense relationship is not always advisable but this may work to help with two big problems that you want/need to address. Keep in mind that this suggestion will only work if you are honest and sincere about moving forward with your relationship with your sister. Good luck.

The Mother Sarah Schwartz Schreiber, P.A. h, sisters. When I was a little girl, I longed to have a sister. I imagined us as best friends – skipping happily hand-in-hand, playing Barbies, and sharing secrets. Alas, my parents did not accede to my wishes; I remain an only daughter. I guess that’s why it hurts me to hear of two sisters, potential soulmates, bearing the burden of, in your words, a stressful relationship. Under ideal circumstances, you should be able to invite your sister to your place and, over lattes and Mom’s mandlebrodt, tell her in your most loving and gentle manner what you’ve heard about her current beau. You could explore whether the awful details you’ve heard were groundless, vicious gossip; you could ascertain whether the guy’s matured, gone through therapy, is in a healthier place. And be assured, no matter what you would say, no matter how much she would listen, your message would be clear: “I care; I’ll always be there for you.” Unfortunately, because of your

You are sisters by birth but you want to be sisters by choice as well.

tenuous relationship, you must resort to Plan B. Speak to your parents. Tell them what you’ve heard about the guy; make it clear you are not looking to dash your sister’s dreams but are sincerely concerned for her welfare. And then, going forward , promise yourself that you will do everything in your mortal power to restore shalom bayis between you and your estranged sibling. I wish your parents live to see Moshiach; but after 120 years, it’s the siblings, acting in unison, who perpetuate a family’s legacy. A sister is a divine gift; cherish the blessing and Hashem will reward both of you with a kind and generous hand.

The Shadchan Michelle Mond irstly, I applaud you for asking this question rather than jumping into an impulsive decision. This conundrum has come up quite a few times when setting up singles whose true colors came out after a while. If I had not asked this question to rabbonim numerous times, my answer might have been completely different. What should be done if I find out somebody I am close with is dating this person? After asking a rav, I was told that according to the laws of shmiras halashon, if a few years have passed and especially if I never knew anything firsthand, it is not halachically permissible to say something if I was not asked. Think about it: how many people do you know

whose lives have done a complete turnaround in a matter of a year or two? The whole concept of doing teshuva revolves around the idea that a person can turn around completely. Are we loftier than Hashem Himself? Can we say that because we know somebody’s age-old dirty laundry we are suddenly responsible to air it out? I’m sorry to say, but your information’s expiration date has surely passed. Not only do you not know this information firsthand (as this is a boy who dated a friend of yours years ago), but you have no personal connection to this boy himself. Adding to the complexity is your negative relationship with your sister. Even if you did say something, will she think you are just trying to sabotage her relationship? Possibly. At this

time, I have only one suggestion for you. Bring the story with the exact details up with a rav and do exactly as he advises. Perhaps the details you know are serious enough to take action even though much time has passed. If you are told to disclose anything, I would discourage you from getting involved personally. The information should be passed on to your parents to deal with it directly, rather than coming from you. Hatzlacha!

The Single Tova Wein ’m sorry to hear that you and your sister have no relationship. It’s

Pulling It All Together The Navidaters

sad when that happens, and maybe there is now – or perhaps someday – an opportunity to repair it. But I know that’s not why you are writing in. You are writing in because you are holding onto information that could possible impact your sister in a very negative way and, close or not, you still seem to care enough about her to not want to see her get hurt. Obviously, you can’t suddenly show up in her life with this disclosure. She might be suspicious of your intentions and not receive the information in the way in which it was meant. Also, let’s not forget that this is old news. People change and this young man can very possibly be very different from the one that your friend dated so long ago. So with these two strikes against you, your options are limited. I think your only recourse, just so that you know you did your best and didn’t ignore the situation, would be to explain what it is that you know to your parents

Can we say that because we know somebody's ageold dirty laundry we are suddenly responsible to air it out?

and make sure they understand that the information is quite old and maybe even stale and irrelevant. Most likely, they’ve met the young man in question, probably made a few phone calls about him, and are in a better position to determine whether or not there is a “situation” going on. But by passing the information over to them, you are also relinquishing the burden you feel you have been carrying around with you and depositing it in good hands!

his is your sister. Estranged, unfortunately yes. But always your sister. Clearly, you care for her wellbeing and the love is still there, otherwise you wouldn’t be plagued by this information and writing in to us. Sometimes families have irreparable rifts, which is always a tragedy but more often than not, the love doesn’t disappear. You still care for your sister and are willing to put yourself out on a limb to “save” her. Ask yourself the following: What is my intention by sharing this information? If your intention is pure of heart, proceed. As mentioned by the panelists, you have two choices. You can speak directly to your sister or write her a thoughtful letter. Or, you can inform your parents and ask them to pass the information along. Do it delicately. Handle with care and sensitivity. Acknowl-

edge the rift but tell them that you love your sister and want the best for her and are concerned that she may be in harm’s way. Either way, you will have done your part and will have been an excellent sister under the circumstances. Your sister may not be interested in this information, and it may widen the rift. Or it may be the beginning of a new relationship for the two of you. I hope it is the latter. If the information you have is serious – pedophilia, crime, drug or alcohol abuse, abusive in a past relationship, he is nasty, domineering or cruel in any way, he is living a lie – I really do believe it is your duty to warn your sister. I think of the women I have worked with crying on my couch, Why didn’t any-

one warn me? Where was everyone? This is not easy, but sharing this information is the right thing to do. All the best, Jennifer Esther Mann, LCSW and Jennifer Mann, LCSW are licensed psychotherapists and dating and relationship coaches working with individuals, couples and

Mental Health Corner

Should I Become a Therapist? By Rabbi Azriel Hauptman A car mechanic was once asked, “What does it take to become a good car mechanic?” He answered, “Either you get it or you don’t!” This means that some people are just unable to professionally develop certain skills. Some people will never be able to be a chef as hard as they try. Others will never be able to be an accountant, and the list goes on. Therefore, before pursuing a profession, it is wise to recognize the unique skill set that one will need. The field of psychotherapy requires a broad range of abilities. We will try to provide a basic overview of a few of these skills. Before we continue, we must mention that all of these abilities need to be further developed throughout the career of a therapist. There is no such thing as

someone who is such a natural that no further self-development is needed. Empathy – The skill of empathy is not limited to the ability to feel the emotions of another. It also encompasses the ability to understand the feelings of another person in the absence of verbal communication. Although therapy involves talking, a vast amount of information is communicated via non-verbal expressions of emotion. The ability to decipher those messages are vital for a therapist. Open-Mindedness – One interesting aspect of psychology is that a lot of it is counterintuitive. You must be willing to challenge your own assumptions in order to explore the human psyche. Furthermore, every client is unique and a therapist need to be open-minded about their client’s distinctiveness. Additionally, the field is constantly making new discoveries,

and without open-mindedness a therapist can be stuck with an outdated understanding. Self-Introspection – You cannot give what you do not have. Therapists are in the business of helping their clients further their understanding of themselves in order to achieve their goals. A therapist who is not actively engaged in that same process towards themselves is not in a position to provide it to others. Listening Skills – Some people like to talk. Such a person would not make a good therapist. One of the skills of therapy is knowing how to listen. This is not limited to the simple act of being quiet and paying attention. Listening is a skill that needs to be developed and fine-tuned in all of its applications. Ethics – All professions have a code of ethics that one must follow

4/28/19

and psychotherapy is no different. However, the observance of ethics in this profession is probably more important that in most other fields. Clients can only feel safe with a therapist if they know that the therapist will not violate the ethical standards that are in place to protect the client. Therapists who are not ethical are jeopardizing the emotional and mental health of their clients and are a threat to the entire field of psychotherapy.

Hopefully this information will be helpful for those who are testing the waters of this rewarding profession..

Invisible Ink, Stink Bombs & Hidden Knives Spies’ Tools of the Trade By Avi Heiligman Coal bomb

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

eorge Washington hired spies during the Revolutionary War. Throughout American history, there have been several organizations whose mission was to spy on enemies of our nation. The OSS was the cloak and dagger unit for the U.S. during World War II and became the CIA in 1947. Their missions used a variety of tools ranging from disappearing ink to ingenious concealment devices. TV and movies have made the public believe that these devices are purely fiction: however, a deeper look into the history books will tell the reader otherwise. Here is a selection of the “weapons” that have been used by spies since the Revolutionary War to help them successfully complete their missions behind enemy lines. Disappearing ink and other methods used to hide messages were used during the Revolutionary War to fool the British. While the use of invisible ink has been dated to the ancient Greeks over 2,500 years ago, American founding father Dr. James Jay invented a chemical formula that was used by Washington’s spies in an unsuspecting manner. Letters with friendly content had the invisible ink applied to them with secret information and the person receiving it would be able read it by applying Jay’s formula to the paper. During World War I, lemon juice was used, and phenolphthalein was used during World War II to hide secret con-

tent in unassuming letters. Bullets were hollowed out during the Revolutionary War to hide messages, and members of the Culper Spy Ring would use common items like clothes on a clothesline to send messages. Civil War spies did not regularly employ sophisticated tools. Rather, they used methods used by the regular army to spy on the enemy. For example, telegraph wires were an integral part of the communication system between the front lines and headquarters. Spies figured out ways to tap these wires and “steal” the messages. Another method employed was the use of field glasses or early versions of binoculars. These glasses gave the spy a better view of enemy positions. Spies also used flags to relay their messages to friendly forces. Hot air balloons came into use during the war on both sides to spy on troop movements. To code their messages, cipher disks were used by Confederate spies. It would have been simple to crack if the language in which the code was written was known to the Union codebreakers. Carrying a gun was a dead giveaway to the enemy that someone was a spy. Small guns that could only shoot one bullet were invented so that they could be hidden away in tiny spaces. The Liberator pistol was developed during World War II to be used behind enemy lines by resistance movements.

OSS operators had many tricks in their toolbags to fool the enemy. Coal torpedoes or grenades got their start in the South during the Civil War. These are hollowed out metal castings filled with explosives and covered with coal dust to look like a regular lump of coal. However, when put into a boiler, the device would explode, causing damage to the engine. During World War II saboteurs would place them on trains which caused a lot of damage to the Nazis who relied heavily on railroads. Stink bombs became popular for use against German and Japanese targets. Called Who Me?, the substance would be placed on the target’s clothing, causing a stench. The Americans developed the idea further by placing the stink bombs in a tube and used them in the Far East. Japanese officials were always concerned about dignity, and this stench caused them much shame. To add to the ruse, it was later discovered that OSS agents handed the tubes to children who were above suspicion. Concealment devices were the bread and butter of OSS agents. These included hiding maps in playing cards or microfilm hidden in hollowed-out coat buttons. This method was ingenious because if caught, Gestapo agents would turn the button looking for anything concealed. What they didn’t expect was that the OSS personnel would sew the button on using a left-hander.

This way, the Nazis would only tighten the button if it was twisted. Pens were another favorite of the OSS. The pen pistol was a onetime-use mechanism. Hiding a knife in a pen saved the life of at least one OSS agent. The story goes that the agent was captured and was sitting with his hands tied next to a Gestapo officer in the backseat of a vehicle. The driver stopped for minute at the side of a lonely road to go about his business while the Nazi dozed off. The OSS agent had been searched earlier but the pen that had been in his pocket was not taken away as there was no reason to suspect that it contained a hidden knife. He carefully maneuvered his hands and removed the knife. Quickly, he cut the ropes binding his hands and slit the neck of the Gestapo officer. While he was running towards the nearby woods, he was shot at and hit in the leg. However, that did not stop him, and he was able to make his way to freedom. The famous camera producers, Eastman Kodak Company, manufactured a camera that looked like a regular box of matches. The company also produced the BEANO grenade in the size and roughly the shape of a baseball. It utilized a pressure trigger and would arm itself in flight. Caltrops were another bright idea used by OSS agents. It is a spiked metal device thrown on the ground to impede wheeled vehicles. There were four spikes on the device

so no matter how it was thrown, one of the spikes would land facing upwards. It was used to great effect against Japanese planes in the Pacific Theater of Operations. OSS agents also used high tech items (high tech for the 1940s, of course). Limpet mines with time delay fuses could be attached to enemy ships.

Stories abound how these mines were used to great effect in sinking Japanese ships including several in Singapore Harbor. Cigarette cases were also produced to explode upon opening by the unsuspecting enemy who thought they had found a random pack of cigarettes. These are just some of the tools used by spies, saboteurs, and agents

in American history. Spy museums around the country have many of these tools and devices on display. Some are even available to the public, including Liberator pistols and caltrops, although the author suggests that these items should be handled by professionals only. Seeing these items displayed and reading about their uses are great ways

to learn how spies can greatly affect the outcome of a battle or a war.

Spatchcocked Citrus Chicken meat — yields 4 servings

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME

My daughter Gabriella developed these recipe flavors when she surprised me and my husband with an anniversary dinner. While she used chicken parts, I took it a step further by using a whole chicken that I spatchcocked. That means cutting out the backbone of the chicken, flattening the chicken, and tucking in the wings. Roasting the chicken flat produces a juicy, flavorful chicken because the heat reaches the interior sooner and the chicken roasts more quickly, thereby retaining its moisture.

INGREDIENTS 1 (4-pound) whole chicken, spatchcocked 1 orange, sliced 3 large onions, sliced

2 sprigs rosemary • kosher salt, to taste • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Sauce • juice of 1 orange • juice of 1 lime 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1½ teaspoons kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley 2 Tablespoons honey

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

METHOD

1 2

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Pour over chicken in pan.

Bake for about 60 minutes, uncovered, until cooked through.

Place orange slices, onions, and rosemary in a large roasting pan. Top with chicken; skin-side up; season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s Tip

Be sure to use a pullet rather than a broiler chicken. A pullet is over 4 pounds, while a broiler is only about 3 pounds. The larger chicken is better for this method.

been a legitimate-enough service for affluent families who wanted a regular dose of rigging the system. But parents who were willing to pay for VIP-level rigging could make “charitable” contributions to the foundation, which Singer used to bribe test administrators and college coaches. Singer bragged that he had helped 761 families open what he called a “side door” into top schools. In one case, actress Felicity Huff-

as rowing team recruits at USC. Of course, neither girl would recognize a scull if you knocked her over the head with it. (Loughlin is free on $1 million bail – bigger bribe = bigger bail.) Both families should probably tell their accountants to expect correspondence from the IRS about those bogus charitable deductions. Ironically, the Tax Code includes plenty of legitimate breaks for financing college costs. Scholarships

man shamelessly “donated” $15,000 to Singer’s foundation to doctor her daughter’s SAT results. (Huffman is currently free on $250,000 bail.) In another, Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky in the critically-acclaimed drama “Fuller House,” paid $500,000 to market daughters

and fellowships are generally taxfree. There’s the American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit, and an above-the-line deduction for student loan interest. The problem, of course, is that none of those breaks help you get in to that pricey school in the first place!

(You can’t even deduct your kids’ SAT test-prep fees.) As for Singer, he’s been cooperating with feds since September. He pled guilty just hours after the story broke, and it looks like the Justice Department has all the receipts they need to lock down more convictions. That’s typical for federal prosecutors, who don’t bring charges until they have a stack of evidence tall enough to stand on and change a lightbulb. Coaches and even some of the parents have been fired, too. So, how hard are you working to get your kids into college? It used to be enough just to schlep them from soccer games to violin lessons to testprep classes. Now you’ve got to start committing felonies, too? Are you sure Olde Ivy is really worth it? Fortunately, you don’t have to commit any crimes to put smart tax planning to work to pay for it, wherever they go. You just need a plan. Make sure you have one before you’re ready to ship the kids off to school, so you’ll have enough money to throw a party when they graduate!

arly on a Tuesday morning, FBI agents fan out across the country to arrest dozens of people in six states on racketeering charges and other offenses. The next Gambino family mob “rollup”? No, it’s “Operation Varsity Blues” — the newest celebrity scandal, featuring CEOs and Hollywood stars bribing their children’s way into competitive colleges! And, like with most good scandals, there’s a tax angle lurking underneath the juicy gossip. Some of our most successful CEOs never finished college. The list includes Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Russell Simmons, and dozens more. Astonishingly, millions of Americans manage to find happiness and success in life without ever going to college at all! But competition for spots at top schools grows ever more intense (Stanford University’s acceptance rate is down to one out of twenty.) That’s forced striving students to up their game…so is it any surprise their striving helicopter parents are upping their game, too? This week’s story starts with a former teacher named William Singer, who established a college counseling business called “The Key” and a nonprofit called Key Worldwide Foundation. The Key may have
