Dear Readers, One of the beauties of the Jewish calendar is the refreshing energy of Elul and the opportunity it brings for teshuvah. No matter how we performed the year before, we can put it behind us and look forward to a new year. Just as in business, most of the time we work, we focus on the bottom line. Yet every once in a while, we take a step back and take stock of what we’ve accomplished, analyzing whether our efforts have been sufficient, did we focus on the right area, and so on. How do we go about doing teshuvah? Is teshuvah only for bad habits? How about good habits we do by rote? Or – even worse – good deeds we do while wishing we weren’t doing them? Come to think of it, being religious for any length of time brings with it the tendencies to do things out of culture or because we’re simply following the herd. So what are we to do? Should we try to dig deeper within ourselves, searching for our spiritual side to which yiddishkeit is its first language? Do we recite tehillim with kavanah and hope that does the trick? Perhaps committing to more learning for the year ahead? No matter the answer – the main thing is to ask ourselves these questions. The best part, of course, is that our Boss is also our Father, and He wants us to be successful even more than we do. And He judges our success with chessed. All we need is to be sincere in our efforts to improve. Let’s take advantage of this unique time and try shaking off even one bad habit or increasing our efforts in just one small area. The results might surprise us. Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos, Shalom

homrim is pleased with the progress being made in the matter below. We want to take this opportunity to update the community regarding several recent assaults. The Baltimore Police Department has arrested the two individuals who committed these violent crimes. We now need to make sure that once these defendants go to trial the Judge understands how crimes like this affect our entire community. Part of this process requires that community impact statements be presented. Please use the information below to send community impact statements to the States Attorney’s office who will present them in court to the judge. We have provided a template as a sample impact statement. You may use the sample or draft your own statement. Please make sure that your name is listed on the bottom of your letter. Please E-mail your letter to: DGreene@stattorney.org Cc: shomrimcoordinator@gmail.com Circuit Court for Baltimore City RE: State of Maryland v. Davon Brown State of Maryland v. Juquante Gross Dear Judge: I am addressing your court regarding a crime spree of assaults and robberies that occurred in the Northern and Northwest Districts of Baltimore City. The two above defendants are charged with theft, assault, robbery, and gun related charges. Below are the locations where each of the Defendants carried out these violent crimes: 22-year old Davon Brown, of the 1400 block of Mountmor Court: • August 12, 2018 in the 3500 block of Ash Street • August 12, 2018 in the 3600 block of Menlo Drive • August 12, 2018 in the 6200 block of
Biltmore Road • August 15, 2018 in the 1500 W. 36th Street • August 15, 2018 in the 3600 block of Beech Avenue 21-year old Juquante Gross, of the 2400 block of Westwood Avenue: • August 12, 2018 in the 3600 block of Menlo Drive • August 12, 2018 in the 3500 block of Ash Street • August 12, 2018 in the 6200 block of Biltmore Road I and the rest of the community are very concerned about the increase in crime we experienced in 2018. Violent armed robberies have heightened fear and has traumatized our entire community, particularly among families with children that are an integral part of our neighborhoods. It is essential that community residents feel that the justice system remains transparent and fully supports the interests of the victims. The heinous nature of the crimes committed, and the fact that it occurred in the middle of quiet residential neighborhoods makes the entire community a victim of these offenses. To provide both the community and the victims justice and closure to these incidents, it is felt strongly that the Defendants receive the maximum sentences allowed by law. Information on the court proceedings would also help the community heal and provide closure to these crimes that continue to resonate in our community. Thank you for allowing us to submit this community impact statement on these very serious matters. Respectfully submitted,

Attention Baltimore! Welcome to Agra D’Pirka
A
gra D’Pirka is proud to announce the opening of a brand new morning Torah learning program in the heart of the Baltimore community. The new program marks the latest in the vast and growing network of Agra D’Pirka which is soon becoming a nationwide movement. The Baltimore program will officially begin on Labor Day, Monday, September 3rd, and will be held at Khal Ahavas Yisroel Tzemach Tzedek, Rabbi Dovid Heber’s shul, located at 6811 Park Heights Avenue. It promises to be a tremendous success, b’ezras Hashem. Agra D’Pirka is an organized morning kollel program geared towards local professionals, business owners, college students, retirees, or anyone who wishes to increase his morning limud haTorah. The program, founded by R’ Ezra Klein of Brooklyn, runs from Monday through Thursday with an outstanding roster of Maggidei Shiur at each location. There are currently Agra D’Pirka programs thriving in the communities of Boro Park, Flatbush, Queens, Lakewood, Miami, Williamsburg, Monsey, and now in Baltimore. R’ Ezra Klein is thrilled to be introducing the program to Baltimore. “I visited the community,” he explains, “and I saw that there is definitely a need for this program. It’s a huge community with thousands of families. We are confident that they will
take advantage of what Agra D’Pirka has to offer.” R’ Eli Sofer moved to Baltimore about a year ago and says it’s a community of dedicated koveyah ittim. “I know they will appreciate a program like this,” he comments. “And those who already know about it are really looking forward.” Rabbi Heber’s shul, he says, is the perfect venue for Agra D’Pirka. “It’s located in the Park Heights area,” he says. “which is a central location. It’s also a shul with a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. There are already early morning and evening shiurim, as well as a night kollel and ongoing chavrusa learning at the shul. This program will not only fill in the gap of late morning shiurim but will also bring the Torah learning up a notch to the next level.” The Baltimore program will be unique in that it includes a special segment of time for shiur review and preparation. The first shiur, to be given by Rabbi Yankel Herskovitz, will be held from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. The shiur will be on Gemorah Maseches Sukkah. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for chavrusa review with Rav Herskovitz serving as sho’el u’maishiv. Finally, the second shiur will be given on a rotating basis from 10:40 to 11:40 AM and will feature a cross section of outstanding community

Rabbonim as maggidei shiur on a variety of intriguing and enlightening topics. Among those giving the shiur will be Rav Yissochor Dov Eichenstein, Rav Zvi Mordechai Feldheim, Rav Yissocher Frand, Rav Pinchas Gross, Rav Moshe Hauer, Rav Dovid Heber, and Rav Yaakov Hopfer. Even those who cannot attend regularly will benefit greatly from the Torah wisdom of these inspiring Rabbonim, the pride of the Baltimore community. R’ Mosi Treuhaft is among the many who are eagerly anticipating the opening of Agra D’Pirka. “There are 4,000 frum families living in Baltimore,” he says. “We are considered the third or fourth largest kehilla in America. This program will bring a yeshiva atmosphere to the balabatim in our community.” Agra D’Pirka is available to men of all ages and all backgrounds. Rabbi Herskovitz’s Gemorah shiur will be given on a high level, says R’ Eli Sofer. “But he will deliver the information in a clear format that is easy to comprehend. In this way, it will be enjoyed and understood even by those who are not accustomed to Yeshiva style learning.” The program is not just for those who are retired, Mosi points out. “There’s an ever-growing number of young people who work on flexible schedules,” he says. “They will now have the opportunity to arrange

their days so that they can spend their mornings learning.” As the KAYTT shul gears up in preparation for the grand opening of Agra D’Pirka, Rabbi Heber is delighted to welcome the program. “Baltimore is well known for its many shiurim and chaburos ‘yomom v’layla’,” he says. “This new program will allow balabatim to begin their workday with limud haTorah presented by wonderful maggidei shiur. It’s a tremendous zechus for us that it will be taking place in our kehilla.” And Rabbi Feldheim, who is among the maggidei shiur to be featured in the program, feels that Agra Dpirka will no doubt be warmly received in this area. “The Baltimore community,” he says, “is a symphony that harmoniously projects a love for Torah, for Yiddishkeit, and for each other. Virtually not a shul exists without a kol Torah that resonates through the late hours of the night. “ So Agra D’Pirka should certainly fit right in. “Baltimore is a city of growth and shteiging,” he adds. “This program is one that talks the language of the Baltimore balabos.” For more information about Agra D’Pirka in Baltimore contact R’ Eli Sofer at 917 755 1572.

History! Baltimore City Fire Department Graduates First Orthodox Jewish Member
THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME
AUGUST 30, 2018
By: Isaac Draiman BaltimoreJewishLife.com/Jeff Cohn
R
eflecting upon yesterday’s BCFD graduation, Baltimore City Fire Department Chief Niles Ford stated, ‘The Baltimore City Fire Department prides itself on its diversity. Our most recent graduating class of cadets is illustrative of the makeup of our great City. Diversity and inclusion in the workplace has been proven in all industries as a best practice.’ Baltimore, MD - Aug. 22, 2018 - For decades observant Jews have attempted to join the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD). Unfortunately due to training and work scheduling the BCFD policies prevented observant Jews from joining the department. That all changed with the election of Councilman Isaac Yitzy Schleifer. Yesterday, the BCFD grad-
uated its first orthodox member of the BCFD. Councilman Schleifer was approached by a community member whose lifelong dream was to be able to help save lives and become a professional fire fighter. Being presented with myriad bureaucratic hurdles, Councilman Schleifer committed himself to find compromise and resolution. He spent countless hours reviewing the current policies and worked tirelessly with BCFD leadership to find ways to accommodate his constituent’s dream to serve the citizens of Baltimore City. Yesterday his hard work came to fruition. When asked what motivated him to put so much time into getting the BCFD accommodation, the Councilman enthusiastically responded, “my faith teaches that, to save just one life is to save a world, there is no higher calling than to work in a lifesaving
e l i Sm e l i m S
profession like the fire department. In 2018, I could not see why there wasn’t a way to make this happen. I was impressed with BCFD leadership and especially Chief Ford for taking the issue seriously and working with me to understand the challenges that Jewish observance could present. No individual of any religion should have to make a choice between serving their faith and serving the citizens of Baltimore City. It is a proud day for this dedicated new firefighter, his community and the BCFD.” Reflecting upon yesterday’s BCFD graduation, Baltimore City Fire Department Chief Niles Ford stated, “The Baltimore City Fire Department prides itself on its diversity. Our most
recent graduating class of cadets is illustrative of the makeup of our great City. Diversity and inclusion in the workplace has been proven in all industries as a best practice.” Nathan Willner, President of the Cheswolde Neighborhood Association, when asked about this milestone commented, “for too long, members of my community have been told, “that’s just the way it is”. That defeatist attitude is no longer part of our mindset. Today we can say, “that’s just the way it was”. With Councilman Schleifer’s can-do, proactive leadership style, there is nothing that is off the table. If he sees the need, he has the conviction to get it done. It’s a new day for our community.”

ait for School Buses The Baltimore County Police Department reminds all drivers to stop when the lights on school buses are flashing. Maryland law states that vehicles must come to a complete stop on both sides of the street if there is no physical divider or barrier. Drivers who pass the bus before all lights have ceased flashing may face the following consequences: Drivers who pass a school bus while the lights are flashing will receive a citation that carries a maximum payable fine of $570 and a three-point penalty. Drivers who stop but then proceed while the lights are flashing will receive a citation that carries a maximum payable fine of $570 and a two-point penalty. Drivers who contribute to an accident when they fail to stop for a school bus while the lights are flashing may face additional penalties.
Children are not always aware of their surroundings and assume that drivers will stop for them. Youngsters also dart into the road without looking first for traffic. Allow room for the frequent stops that happen during the morning pick up and the afternoon drop off. Educate Your Children About School Safety Baltimore County Police remind parents, guardians and children about school safety. Although the Police Department educates children in school on stranger danger, parents can also provide guidance on safety. Be aware of putting your child’s name on anything that is readily visible. This might allow an abductor to get on a “first name” basis with your child and develop a sense of trust. Walk the route to and from school with your children, pointing out safe places to go if they are being followed or need help. Talk to your children about strangers approaching them and some of the ploys they might use. Stress to them that adults shouldn’t need a child’s
help to find a puppy or get directions; they should ask another adult for that information. Teach your children that it is okay to say “no.” Tell them to trust their instincts. Remind your children never to give the impression they are home alone if strangers call or come to the door. Never open the door for a stranger. Teach them about dialing 911. Baltimore County Public Schools have several different emergency procedures that may be implemented in the event of an emergency situation. Learn the difference between the two most frequently used procedures: Alert Status and Lockdown. Load Up the Kids and Lock Up the House The Baltimore County Police Department encourages everyone to establish the habit of basic security when leaving the house. Basic crime prevention measures can make it difficult for a burglar to enter your home. Lock your windows and doors before you walk or load the kids up for the drive to the bus stop or school.
Don’t give a burglar a perfect opportunity. Add a security checklist to your rush-hour routine. Parents or daycare providers can provide a learning experience for children. Depending on the ages of the children, give them a task that relates to their security. Older children can check and lock windows, while younger ones can make sure the doors are locked behind you when you leave. Keep an eye out for strangers who seem to be lurking on your street with no real purpose. Watch for cars driving slowly through the neighborhood. They might be sizing up potential targets. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if something concerns you. Provide a basic description of the individual or car; a tag number is especially helpful to police. Make life for criminals difficult. Burglars are opportunists who work during the day and night. In fact, many burglars strike during daylight hours when they believe all the occupants of the house may be at school or work. Remember to keep your home secure at all times.

A New Shidduch in Town By: Eli W. Schlossberg
S
tarting this week at the registers of 7-Mile Market there is a new Shidduch in Baltimore and the Shadchun is 7-Mile Market. Ahavas Yisrael Charity Fund and Alvin S. Mintzes Hatzalah are partnering together in a new program: Round Up or Add Up. Here’s how it works: As you pay your bill at the 7-Mile cash register you can “round up” to the next dollar or you can “add up” or do
none of these. It is your choice. Say nothing and nothing will occur you just receive your grocery purchase receipt. BUT>>>>> If you tell the cashier “round up”, if the bill is $30.40 an extra .60 will be added to your bill. If it is $ 40.80 just .20 will be added as you are rounding to the next dollar. You also have a second option “ADD up” and here you can give any donation amount you tell the cashier up to the amount of $25.00. The donations will be split by Ahavas Yisrael and Hatzallah. At the registers will still be the Ahavas Yisrael scan cards where mon-
ey goes to Ahavas Yisrael to feed the poor and hungry and the Tzedaka boxes that have been at 7-Mile for many many years. Baltimore is a town of chesed and with this new 7-Mile program you can “sustain a life” or “save a life” our motto of the new Shidduch that we now offer the community. On behalf of the Boehm and Retter families and the entire 7-Mile staff and on behalf of Ahavas Yisrael and the Avin S.Mintzes Hatzallah organizations we wish all a L’shana Tova U’mesuka! Please Round Up or Add up, Just Let the Cashier know!
Study: Many Teens - And Parents - Feel Tethered To Phones By: AP BaltimoreJewishLife.com/Jeff Cohn
P
arents lament their teenagers’ noses constantly in their phones, but they might want to take stock of their own screen time habits.
A study out Wednesday from the Pew Research Center found that twothirds of parents are concerned about the amount of time their teenage children spend in front of screens, while more than a third expressed concern about their own screen time. Meanwhile, more than half of teens
said they often or sometimes find their parents or caregivers to be distracted when the teens are trying to have a conversation with them. The study calls teens’ relationship with their phones at times “hyperconnected” and notes that nearly three-fourths check messages or notifications as soon as they wake up. Parents do the same, but at a lower if still substantial rate — 57 percent. Big tech companies face a growing backlash against the addictive nature of their gadgets and apps, the endless notifications and other features created to keep people tethered to their screens.
Many teens are trying to do something about it: 52 percent said they have cut back on the time they spend on their phones and 57 percent did the same with social media. Experts say parents have a big role in their kids’ screen habits and setting a good example is a big part of it. “Kids don’t always do what we say but they do as we do,” said Donald Shifrin, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine, who was not involved in the Pew study. “Parents are the door that kids will walk through on their way to the world.” The study surveyed 743 U.S. teens and 1,058 U.S. parents of teens from March 7 to April 10. The margin of error is 4.5 percentage points. Unfortunately if you look around the Jewish community, this is the reality in our community as well. What are we going to do about it?

If you had to choose one thing what would be your priority? I spent twelve years in the House of Delegates (2003-2014) and I hope to return if I am fortunate enough to be elected this November. I have over a decade of experience and a new and wise perspective on both how to make policy and how to understand changes as well as constituent relations. If I
have one priority, it would be to be an effective leader by reconciling local constituent needs with data driven policy based in statistically significant research that demonstrates tikkun olam and positive policy change. We cannot base decisions on anecdotes and alternative facts that fulfil an agenda but do not have meaningful and positive change. How does your Jewish upbringing impact your public life? As a product of Beth Tfiloh with a Masters in Judaic Studies, one who keeps kosher and enjoys spending Shabbat with my family, I wear my Judaism on my sleeve. I use my ethical training and my Jewish perspective in coloring each and every decision and, negotiation and interaction. I would hope that the deeply held ethical foundations that my grandfather tried to instill in me are working all the time. Moreover, I am quick to confer with my Rabbi, my Wexner Foundation mentors and other community leaders, on issues of complex ethical implications.

Abbas: Ceasefire “Over My Dead Body”
Palestinian Nurse Opens Fire on Troops A gunman in Gaza that was killed by the IDF was identified as Hani al-Majdalawi, a nurse that worked for Doctors Without Borders. COGAT, the Defense Ministry body that coordinates government activities with the Palestinians, said that al-Majdalawi was killed while trying to cross the border fence into Israel.
Al-Majdalawi opened fire on Israeli military forces with a rifle. He then threw an improvised explosive device at border troops. According to al-Majdalawi’s brother, he used his own money to purchase the gun, which shows that he was likely acting independently. No Israeli soldiers were harmed in the firefight. “He who takes part in saving lives should assist in humanitarian activities in the Gaza Strip, and should not take part in terrorism,” COGAT head Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon said in the statement. Doctors Without Borders has confirmed the death of their employee but has not yet released any details. They said they are investigating the details surrounding al-Majdalawi’s death. A statement released by the organization said that said it “is working to verify and understand the circumstances regarding this extremely serious incident, and is not able to comment further at this stage.” COGAT said it had reached out “for clarification on the matter.”
It’s hard to make peace with the Palestinians if they’re not willing to do their part. This week, it was reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas criticized a potential ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, saying such a deal would only be reached “over my dead body” and drawing a scathing response from Hamas. “If the agreement is signed without the PA’s permission, it is illegal and constitutes treason,” Abbas said in private conversations, according to Hissein al-Sheikh, a senior member of Abbas’s Fatah party. “Over my dead body will there be a ceasefire and calm between both sides,” he swore. Talks between Fatah and Hamas have become stressful and contentious. Abbas doesn’t have kind words for Egypt, which has been brokering Israel-Hamas truce talks, angry that it is willing to sit down with members of the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip without his presence. “The Egyptians aren’t reading the map correctly and are harming the Palestinian national interests,” al-Sheikh said. “Talks with Hamas, which took control of Gaza by force and without the consent of the Palestinian Authority, are unacceptable and are an act of defiance against Palestinian leadership.” Abbas’s Fatah party and Hamas have been deeply divided for more than a decade. Hamas, an Islamist terror group which openly seeks to destroy Israel, seized control of Gaza from the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority in 2007 and several attempts at reconciliation since then
have failed. The PA government has been putting pressure on Hamas to reach a reconciliation deal that would return Fatah rule to Gaza, and earlier this year began to scale back electricity payments and other financial support in an effort to force Hamas to cede ground in Gaza. Abbas is demanding that Hamas hand over complete control of Gaza to the PA, and that the switch be conducted in a single stroke rather than in stages. He’s also concerned about granting too much power to Hamas. Abbas has warned against a reported deal taking shape between Israel and Hamas for a long-term ceasefire in Gaza if it does not include the PA. Hamas responded to the criticism with a rare statement slamming the PA and saying that there is a “national consensus” among the Palestinian people in favor of a long-term Gaza ceasefire with Israel. “We aren’t moving toward a political agreement or a part of an international deal that gives up our lands, recognizes the occupier or destroys the national project, as you did,” Hamas said, addressing the PA. “We didn’t recognize the Zionist entity and sanctify the security coordination, as you did at the expense of our people.”
the capital of Israel. The Trump administration has repeatedly said that bilateral aid to the Palestinians was cut after a review of funding for projects in the West Bank and Gaza. The money is to be redirected to “high priority projects elsewhere.” The Trump administration notified Congress of the cutting decision in a three-paragraph notice on Friday. The cut was made as the Trump administration gears up to roll out its peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians. No details of the plan have been uncovered. Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt are the point-men on the Middle East for the Trump administration. President Trump and his administration have repeatedly demanded that the Palestinian Authority stop making payments from their martyrs’ fund to families of Palestinians killed, injured or jailed for attacks on Israel. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has adamantly refused to stop any payments to terrorists and their families.
U.S. to Reject Palestinians’ “Right of Return”
Trump Cuts $200M in PA Funding
President Mahmoud Abbas is complaining that American financial and political pressure is being placed on him so that he will abandon his claim to Jerusalem. He made his statement after the United States cut $200 million in aid this year and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, in recognition of the holy city as
Israeli news outlets have reported that President Donald Trump is planning to make official the United States’ rejection of the Palestinian “Right of Return.” The approximate 5,000,000 Palestinian people make the claim based on being descendants of the approximately 700,000 refugees that were living in British Mandatory Palestine in 1948 and were displaced during the 1948 War of Independence. Very few of the original refugees are still alive. The descendants of those refugees live in Judea and Samaria, the Gaza Strip, Jordan, Syria,

and Lebanon. They are supported by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA). The agency’s website makes this statement: “UNRWA is unique in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees. It has contributed to the welfare and human development of four generations of Palestine refugees, defined as ‘persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.’ The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including legally adopted children, are also eligible for registration.” UNRWA grants refugee status to all descendants of Palestinians who left or fled Israel with the establishment of the state in 1948. The legitimacy of UNRWA’s mission has been called into question for many years. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it an “absurdity” that “there are already great-grandchildren of non-refugees” supported by UNRWA. President Trump’s administration has said that UN funding should go to the UN body responsible for all other refugees instead. The Right of Return has been a matter of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations for many years. The nine million Israelis living in the Holy Land see the influx of five million “refugees” as a Palestinian tactic to destroy Israel by demographic means by diluting the concentration of Jews in the Jewish State.
108K in Ben Gurion Want to know how many people pass through Ben Gurion Airport each day? According to Israel’s Airports Authority, a record-breaking 108,000 passengers passed through the Israeli airport last Thursday. Thursday was the last “big” weekend for the summer holiday season. More than 105,000 people were scheduled to pass through on thousands of international flights in and out of the airport. A few thousand more showed up. While the first days of September
are expected to be less busy, September 6 is expected to see the airport packed once again as some 105,000 people fly in and out of Israel ahead of Rosh Hashana. According to the Israel Airports Authority, over the course of the summer, about 5 million passengers will have passed through the airport – around 300,000 more than the same period last year. Israel has become a popular destination. Last July, a 10.6 percent passenger increase was registered in Ben Gurion Airport in comparison to July 2017. In order to ease the burden on passport control facilities when passengers exit Israel, the Administration of Border Crossings, Population and Immigration allows travelers to use the biometric “Kiosks” that can now also read regular, non-biometric passports by scanning a code and photographing the passport’s front page. This arrangement is, however, only available for Israeli passport holders, since tourists are also questioned when passing through passport control.
Court: Hamas Relatives Can Get Treated in Israel
Relatives of members of the Hamas terrorist group will now be allowed to seek treatment in Israel for life-threatening conditions. On Sunday, the High Court ruled that Israel must allow five women from Gaza who are purportedly close relatives of members of Hamas to travel to East Jerusalem for life-saving medical treatment. Most of the women in the case have cancer. Israel has banned the relatives of Hamas members from entering Israel for medical treatment as part of an attempt to pressure the terrorist

organization into returning the bodies of two Israeli soldiers it has held since the 2014 Gaza conflict, as well as two Israeli citizens who entered the Strip after that and are believed to be held by the group. The state had said that the women be treated abroad, but prosecutors argued this would be prohibitively expensive. The medical care the women require is not available in the West Bank, leaving two East Jerusalem hospitals as a possible alternatives. The petition was originally submitted by seven women, but it was later confirmed that two of them were not related to terrorists. Justice Uzi Fogelman noted in his verdict that although it was not unreasonable for the government to want to do whatever possible to ensure the return of the prisoners, “this purpose cannot justify an arrangement that denies the possibility of a relative of a Hamas member from receiving life-saving medical treatment in Israel.” He added that the women were not a security risk. Rights groups issued a joint statement hailing the court’s decision but claiming that the ruling “does not deal with Israel’s overall restrictive access policy, which continues to put thousands of patients at risk.” “The court rightly dismissed the Israeli defense minister and cabinet’s outrageous claim that patients in critical condition may be used as bargaining chips,” said the statement from Al Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza, Physicians for Human Rights – Israel, Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, and
Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement. However, the organizations charged, the original decision by the government “marked a new and shameful low in Israel’s collective punishment of Gaza residents.” The court’s decision was slammed by right-wing Jewish Home lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich, who tweeted that the ruling demonstrated a “lack of responsibility shown by judges for the state’s security.” Smotrich described the decision as “activism on steroids with no legal basis,” calling it a “terrible and dangerous deal to liberate terrorists.” Hamas, which openly calls for the destruction of Israel, seized control of Gaza in 2007, after which Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on goods entering the territory, and tightly controls entrance for Gazans into Israel. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas and other terror groups from bringing in weapons and military equipment.
Hamas Women Cell in Hevron The Shin Bet has uncovered a large-scale Hamas operation in the city of Hevron. The terror cell included a large number of women who maintained secret contact with the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip and abroad. This connection included the transfer of messages and instructions, the transfer of funds to finance terror activities, and the coordination of activity.

The Week In News The Shin Bet investigation revealed that the cell promoted Hamas activity in Hevron, which included the recruitment of activists, the coordination of activities in mosques, preaching activities, increasing support lines, intelligence gathering, online incitement, assistance to prisoners’ families, and more. Hamas also attempted to take control of the Hevron municipality and various charities in the city. The cell was led by Nizar Shehadeh and Faras Abu Sharh – both
of whom are senior and well-known Hamas terrorists who had served prison terms several times in the past for their terrorist activity. Shehadeh and Abu Sharah used a number of women who established a central committee to serve as the operational arm of Hamas’ headquarters in Hevron. The committee was headed by Dina Karmi, the widow of Nashat Karmi, a terrorist who carried out an attack in 2010 in which four Israeli civilians were killed. Karmi was killed in a shootout with IDF forces.
Abu Sharaf and Shehadeh acted behind the scenes in conveying instructions to women to promote the terror group’s activity on the ground. Over
the years, the committee has expanded its activity by mobilizing dozens of activities for Hamas and establishing numerous subcommittees. Within this framework, a number of activities were also sent to meetings with Hamas commanders, who were released during the Shalit deal, headed by Haroun Nasser Adin, who is in Turkey, to receive money, messages, and instructions. Several members of the cell, including Faras Abu Sharah, Dina Karmi and a number of other activists who have worked for Hamas in Hevron, have been indicted in military court in recent days.

Something Blue Just a week before getting married, Daphne Martin found her “something blue” to wear to her nuptials. Truthfully, you could really say that the “something blue” found her. Last week, Daphne used a blue ink pen to twist up her blond hair at work. But then, unbeknownst to the brideto-be, the pen exploded, leaving a dark blue stain on Daphne’s neck. The Canadian woman ran to her hairstylist to see if she could work some magic. It took numerous washings in bleach to finally set Daphne’s hair to the right color. “I’ve learned my lesson,” Daphne said. “No more pens as hair accessories.”

This week, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for a whopping $48.4 million at RM Sotheby’s annual Monterey collector car sale. The sale set a world record for any car ever sold at auction. Before the auction, a 1962-63 Ferrari GTO held that title; it was sold for $38 million back in 2014. Lest you think that $48 million is a bit much for a car, keep in mind that cars are generally sold for more money in private transactions than at public auctions. Another Ferrari 250 GTO, 1963 model, recently sold for the overthe-top price of $70 million. You can now pick your jaw up off the floor. Classic Ferrari GTOs are extraordinarily valuable for a number of reasons. First, they were, and are, simply very beautiful cars. Second, these were some of Ferrari’s most successful racing cars. There have been more successful models, such as the 250 LM, which has its engine mounted behind the driver, but the front-engined GTO is more popular because it’s easier to live with and drive. You open the door like a regular car and can enjoy the drive. All 36 of the 250 GTOs ever made are still running and their ownership has created a very exclusive club. Ferrari 250 owners know one another and sometimes get together for road rallies. The record-setting GTO that sold at the RM Sotheby’s auction on Saturday won the 1962 Italian GT championship, and notched over 15 race victories from 1962 to 1965. Among its drivers were Phil Hill, who is most famous as the first American to be a Formula 1 World Champion. He drove this Ferrari as his practice car before the Targa Florio race in 1962. Gianni Bulgari, later president of his family’s jewelry company, raced the car in 1963. Other prominent drivers also spent time in its driver’s seat. This particular GTO was only the third one built, but it was given a new body in 1963, incorporating design changes for improved aerodynamics and handling. This made the car better suited for an upcoming race, the Targa Florio in Sicily, that took place on winding roads demanding quick cornering. The Ferrari finished fifth overall, but won in its class in a race in which more than half the cars didn’t
finish at all. With a price of $48 million, I doubt it’s going to be in any races in the near future.
The Town of Miracle Whip
On Saturday, the town of Mayo, Florida, said hold the mayo and decided to change its name to Miracle Whip, mayonnaise’s creamier cousin. Street signs were changed and the name on the water tower was flipped. Mayor Ann Murphy was excited about the change, saying, “We aren’t going to be boring Mayo anymore. We are going to be Miracle Whip! I definitely think this will put us on the map.” But were the 1,500 residents who call Mayo/Miracle Whip their home just as enthused by the name change? Truthfully, it didn’t really matter what the people there thought of the change. That’s because the name change was a publicity stunt arranged by the parent company of Miracle Whip, who were there to capture residents’ reactions to the new name and attempts at having residents throw out their jars of mayonnaise. That “may or” may not have flipped residents’ lids. The company paid the town between $15,000 and $25,000 for the temporary name change; the money will be used for city beautification purposes. The town got its original name from a confederate colonel, James Mayo, and not the creamy condiment. Other small cities have changed their names to brands, some temporarily and others permanently. In 1950, Hot Springs, New Mexico, renamed itself Truth or Consequenc-

20 for $410K
Delaware now has its number 20. The coveted license plate number was sold last week for a whopping $410,000 at auction in the state. The starting bid on the black and white plate was $210,000. Due to intense bidding between six to eight people, the price slowly climbed with the gavel going down on the plate for more than $400,000. A gentleman in his 80s is now the proud owner of the number. John Wakefield, owner of Delaware Tag Traders, says that low number plates are a local fascination in Delaware. “Delaware is Delaware,” Wakefield explained. “Nobody gets it unless you’re in Delaware. It’s always been in our history.” License plates emblazoned with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 belong to the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state respectively. No. 4 plate could be worth more than $1 million if it ever goes to auction. I guess you got to live there to understand.
Food on the Move
Stranded in traffic, drivers were able to eat breakfast on the highway thanks to the creativity of a food truck operator stuck in the same predicament. Thousands of commuters in Los Angeles were stuck on the 105 Freeway in Hawthorne early Friday morning after a tanker truck and another vehicle collided with fatal results. The road was shut down in both directions for hours, and commuters were getting antsy. Isabel Larios owns a food truck. She, too, was stranded and got out of her vehicle to make herself a coffee as she waited. It was 6 in the morning and she needed her cup of Joe. But when she exited her vehicle to get to the coffeemaker at the back of her truck she noticed that some people thought she was open for business – in the carpool lane. “Will you serve us coffee? Breakfast?” they asked. Larios turned to her cook: “Should I do it?” “Do it!” the cook responded. “We’re not moving anyway.” And so began breakfast on the highway with orders for burritos, eggs, sandwiches and coffee flying fast and furious. In general, Larios parks her food truck at Los Angeles International Airport, serving construction crews. That day they were wondering where their coffee went. They could never have imagined that it was drunk on the highway.

Torah Thought
The Happiest People on Earth no strength to even try.
THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME
By Rabbi Zvi Teichman
The Torah informs us that if only we would succeed in serving G-d out of happiness would we be blessed. Our failure to serve G-d joyously, we are admonished, is the cause for the fulfillment of all the dreaded curses that are enumerated in the Tochacha. Why are we so unhappy? Why aren’t we grateful for so much good that comes our way?
B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M
The answer is simple. We don’t appreciate our life sufficiently because it
is scattered with so much frustration and challenge. True, there is much positive in our lives but we keep getting distracted with those annoying gaps of challenges that keep appearing out of nowhere. We have set for ourselves so many noble goals in life yet the distractions of pursuing a livelihood, paying our bills, raising our children and all the other ‘demons’ that constantly creep in and detour us from achieving our dreams, deplete our energy, leaving us
How can we reach this elusive goal of attaining true happiness? • The mitzvah of bringing Bikkurim, the first-fruits, and reciting the special declaration associated with it, has a prerequisite of being done with joy. That declaration expresses a brief sketch of Jewish history beginning from the episode with Lavan trying to destroy Yaakov which initiated a chain of events that brought us down to Egypt and eventually to the Promised Land and all its luscious fruit. Why does our history lesson begin with Lavan trying to defeat Yaakov? The Holy Meor V’Shemesh interprets the words , ארמי אבד אביThe Aramean tried to to destroy my forefather, in a most creative and insightful way. The word אביis rooted in the sentiment , אבהwhich means literally ‘to want’. What we are focusing on here is not ‘simply’ Lavan’s desire to kill our forefather Yaakov, but more significantly to crush him emotionally, to quash his ambition and drive for all things spiritual. In a constant onslaught of deception and taunting Lavan sought to drain Yaakov of all his emotional energy. The key to happiness stems in being able to identify those challenges as one’s only road to success and greatness. When we can joyously thank G-d for the difficulties He has sent our way, whether in the guise of Lavan or behind the dark cloak of the Egyptians, appreciating how these ‘distractions’ forge our spiritual identity when we succeed in overcoming them, then we can first achieve genuine joy. • The Mishnah describes how the bringers of Bikkurim would parade their first-fruits through the streets on their way to Jerusalem, in a musical
procession led by an ox ornamented with gold glazed horns and wearing a, , עטרה של זיתa crown fashioned from olives. The saintly Sifsei Tzaddik questions as to why of all the seven species the land was blessed with is the olive selected as the theme of this crown. The olive, he points out, only produces its ‘liquid gold’ after undergoing an arduous process of being pounded, pressed and crushed. Similarly the Jewish nation understands and appreciates that its essence can only be procured through the trials and tribulations that force us to face our inherent greatness. It is for this reason the Mishnah tells us that this declaration is joyously recited ‘while the laden basket of first-fruits is carried upon our shoulder’. This is the image of greatness, bearing the weight, placing our entire body to the task, with glee and gratitude. The ensuing paragraph describing briefly the ordeal in Egypt until we entered the holy land are recited too with that sense of joy and appreciation for all the difficulties that we have faced that helped make us into who we are today. One must first acknowledge this accomplishment in order to be worthy of a ‘Crown of Olives’! • Several years ago I together with my son Mutti, had the privilege of meeting the two happiest people on earth. The first was the late legendary Gabbai Tzedakah, Reb Chaim Goldberg, an accomplished Torah scholar who was trusted treasurer for a charity fund that distributes several millions of dollars yearly for many a decade. Despite his debilitated state he continued to carry out his duties to the best of his ability. Hairless from the toxic therapies he received regularly and clearly in excruciating pain, when

you visited him all you felt was the warmth, all you saw were smiles and all you heard was praise for G-d and love for humanity. His prayer was awe inspiring and one merely had to hear him enthusiastically answer Amen yehei Shemei Rabbah... to feel like you are in the presence of the most loving G-d. He was a living medical miracle as all the doctors claimed that logically he shouldn’t have been alive as long as he lived. Before our departing he shared with us his ‘secret’ to happiness and survival.
B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M
King David sings: ּכִ י חֲ מַ ת ָאדָ ם ּתֹודֶ ָּך , תהלים עו יא- ְֹש ֵא ִרית חֵ מֹת ַּת ְחגֹרSurely the wrath of man shall praise You; the residue of wrath shall You restrain. He explained that what the verse is revealing to us is that when a person who is enduring suffering, the apparent ‘wrath’ of G-d against man, yet still realizes that he must nevertheless ‘thank’ G-d for his ordeal, that is when G-d restrains the residual wrath he might have otherwise deserved. This, he told me, is how he lived, by sincerely ‘thanking’ the Almighty for the ‘gift of his suffering’, and that’s why he felt he continued to survive despite the odds against him.
When we entered we discovered that within these several combined apartments was a midreshet for young women who have nowhere to live. Many were abused and abandoned by their parents. Some had forlornly resorted to roaming the streets sadly surviving by whatever means available and were literally homeless. This Rabbi for decades has been pulling young women, from all over Israel, from the depths of despondency, restoring not only their bodies and health but their souls as well. There were a variety of colors and types among this robust cadre of young women with the common denominator bonding them, their common sense of being loved, cherished and cared for by this amazing Rabbi and his family. A large poster, a picture of him standing next to a beaming Rav Ovadia Yosef zt”l, hung prominently in his meager office, was signed by the young women in loving tribute to, ‘Abba’ David. We asked him how he came to undertake this enormous task and he shared with us his personal story.
The second happiest person we met was, Reb Dovid, a close friend of Reb Chaim. We met him as he straggled in to visit Reb Chaim while we were still there. He was seemingly elderly and evidently impaired as he could only walk with a walker and was obviously partially paralyzed. After exchanging warm words with his friend we offered to drive him home after discovering that he ‘shlepped’ there crosstown by bus, all by himself.
As an infant he contracted an inflammation of the brain that required him to be hospitalized for several formative years of his early life. He was left partially and legally blind as a result and because of his handicap remained illiterate throughout his years in school. Despite this frustration he never gave up. Upon entering the army he took advantage of some remedial educational classes and finally learned how to read. It was then that he discovered religion and committed himself to assuring that others would never succumb to despair. He managed despite his eye impairment to obtain a driver’s license. Only in Israel! He went on to write several self-help books relating to physical and spiritual health.
We brought him into a nondescript building without any external sign or visible address indicating the identity of the inhabitants behind the door.
He shared that already from a young age he resolved “שאף דבר לא ,"!“ יעצור אותיThat I would never let anything stop me from attaining my
goals”. Several years earlier he was stricken with a stroke that crippled him and prevented this mighty little man from walking unaided. Ironically, the resulting brain damage also disabled his brain from processing the written word, and he once again found himself illiterate. But it didn’t stop him from scouring the streets, in that pathetic condition, to collect lost souls. Nor did it prevent him from ‘climbing Mount Everest’, lugging himself onto a jostling bus, traveling across town to visit his dear friend and bring him some strawberry-banana drink he knew his infirm friend enjoyed. This man didn’t complain once and was as happy as you could imagine despite his tragic circumstance and lot in life. We subsequently found out that he was all of fifty four years old! But nothing could discourage him or get him down. Surveying his precious ‘children’ he felt he was the luckiest man in the world. He brightened as he pointed out one of the young ladies who was about to get married, ‘shepping’ unbelievable ‘nachas’, pride and joy. • We always read this week’s portion, which describes the terrible tragedies that will befall our people, two Shabbosos prior to Rosh Hashana, leaving a safe gap between the two, so that we may symbolically ‘do away with the year and its curses’. Does that really help? Can merely ‘shoving it quickly under the carpet’ avoid the consequences of our sins? We are taught that the spaces between the paragraphs in the Torah are so that we have time to stop to ponder and absorb its message. Perhaps that is our goal, to allow ourselves to realize how fortunate
we are and to give praise and express gratitude for our travails, so that we may deter more from coming our way. Our joy for the positive things that come our way will be enormously magnified if we appreciate the tough times too. It is not a gap but rather a continuous loving relationship we have with G-d that never ceases. The Jerusalem Talmud states that even in earlier times when it was customary for only the first reader who was called up to the Torah to recite the fore-blessing on the public Torah reading on behalf of all subsequent readers and only the last reader would express the final after-blessing upon conclusion of the reading, when it came to reading the portion of the Tochacha, the Admonition, it would warrant its own blessing before and after its specific reading. The great Rabbinic luminary and prolific author, Rabbi Shlomo Kluger, suggests that this is to assert our realization that this dire prophecy of pain and suffering is really ‘a blessing’. These are the ‘sufferings of love’. • This is an arduous task. But greatness doesn’t come easy. Merely being aware of this notion is encouraging and soothing. May we be inspired by the many special souls and heroes among us who sense G-d’s love even in the most trying of times, and may we begin to see the light and experience exquisite joy in our service to G-d. May we spend a week contemplating our greatness and enter the Days of Awe with a renewed sense of joy and privilege! May we thank G-d for all that comes our way and may we never give up!

Rabbi Major General Piron

oldiers on the frontlines need many items to keep them in top physical fighting form. Modern nations have added physiological, emotional and spiritual personnel to help soldiers stay focused with the task at hand. Chaplains have been around for several wars and have quite a few stories to tell about their frontline experiences. The IDF created the Military Rabbinate in 1948 with Rabbi Shlomo Goren at its head. The second Chief Military Rabbi of Israel had a fascinating background and through his many years of service helped countless soldiers in their spiritual journey. Mordechai Piron was born in Vienna in 1921. He was the only child in a frum family, and in 1938 left his birth country following the Nazi annexation of Austria. Piron was part of the Youth Aliyah movement that rescued thousands of Jewish children from Nazi hands and sent them to Eretz Yisrael. The rest of his family perished in the Holocaust.
Once safely in Eretz Yisrael, Piron spent several years learning in a few yeshivas including Lomze in Petach Tikvah and Yeshivas Mercaz HaRav Kook. He received semicha from HaRav Moshe Charlop and Rav Yitzchak Halevy Herzog. The Jews in the Yishuv were being attacked by Arabs, and a young Mordechai joined the Haganah to prevent these attacks. Following the Israeli Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948, Rabbi Piron joined the IDF as Arab neighbors began attacking the new country. At the beginning of his service he was a regular soldier. One day, while his unit was crossing an open area, he was hit by a ricocheting shell that fractured his collarbone. Doctors told him that he was done fighting but he wanted to stay in the army so he entered the IDF’s sherut dati, religious service arm. For the next 34 years he served his country through four wars but instead of entering battle with a rifle, Rabbi Piron helped his fellow sol-
diers with their spiritual needs. He was on hand for the liberation of the Kosel in 1967 and saw to it that the area was cleaned of debris and made ready for Shavuos, which was only a few days away. During the Yom Kippur War in 1973 many soldiers were reported missing on the battlefield and tough questions regarding the freeing agunos (women whose husbands disappeared and who can only remarry if the husband has been confirmed dead or received a get) arose. These sensitive issues were handled by a beis din (Jewish court) headed HaRav HaGoan Ovadia Yosef, zt”l, and he was joined by Rabbi Piron and Rabbi Gad Navon who succeeded Rabbi Piron as the chief military rabbi. The Military Rabbinate was established to help service members of all branches with services ranging from performing milah and officiating at weddings to ensuring that all shuls have everything they need. One of their biggest duties is
to provide kosher food for all IDF members, and Rabbi Piron was instrumental in facilitating this responsibility. Rabbi Piron was promoted to the chief rabbi position in 1969 and was made a general. When he stepped down from the position in 1980 he had the title of Rabbi Major General Piron. Throughout his tenure in the army Rabbi Piron realized that it was lacking spiritually. He felt that it was mission to rectify this matter and bring kedusha to those on the frontlines. According to his son the soldiers loved coming to hear Rabbi Piron speak. “My father knew how to talk to them, to reach their hearts. I saw it on their faces. I remember as a child he took us with him [to the army bases] during the holidays. Spending Pesach, the chag of freedom, with the Israeli soldiers, in an army camp, gave it special meaning.” Rabbi Piron made it a point to go around to various IDF bases on yomim tovim to give chizuk so

40 that the soldiers could feel at home even while on duty. Once during the Yom Kippur War he was summoned by doctors to the bedside of badly wounded soldier who was thought to be on his last legs. Rabbi Piron recounted the encounter: “They thought I could do something to help,” he said. “I felt powerless. Then, I noticed a kippah on [the soldier’s] head, and I started talking [to him] about whether a soldier is permitted [or] not to carry food to the battlefield on Shabbat. I purposely stated that it is forbidden, which is inaccurate. Suddenly, the wounded soldier started to murmur something, and then he spoke, saying: ‘Rabbi, you are wrong.’ I restated my position and he kept insisting I was mistaken. Everyone around us was jubilant. I said, ‘Okay, maybe you are right.’ Ten days later, I visited him in a hospital. His family embraced me; he had made a complete recovery.” Rabbi Piron frequently had

phone conversations with the Chabad Rebbe. The Rebbe had Rabbi Piron put up mezuzos on all military installations. During the Yom Kippur War Rabbi Piron made sure that all Chabad soldiers had access

to tefillin and brought them words of encouragement from their Rebbe. After Rabbi Piron retired in 1980, he moved to Zurich where he became a community rav until 1992. For a while after his return to Israel,
he was an advisor to foreign minister Shimon Peres. Later he became the head of Sapir Center for Jewish Education and Culture in Yerushalayim. He also wrote six books on Jewish law, philosophy, and Jewish history. Rabbi Mordechai Piron passed away in 2014 at the age of 93. Chaplains in the military aren’t always thought of as heroes who helped save their country from disaster. Many transcend this thinking and are remembered for their kindness and soft touch when others need them the most. Rabbi Piron fits this description. His gift for reaching out and helping those who needed a boost will be a zechus for his neshama.

Here in Israel I am a member of a Rambam shul in Ma’alot. It is affiliated with Bnei Akiva and the Hesder Yeshiva up the road. I have no hesitation, however, in davening elsewhere. Be it in the Moroccan kollel or anywhere else I can join a minyan. In Melbourne, Australia, the country of my birth, the differences between the various communities is, in my opinion, more pronounced. On a recent trip to visit my family I mainly davened in the Mizrahi Shul, which is synonymous with Young Israel in America. During my visit, I attended services in the Chabad Yeshiva, the Litvak Kollel, a breakaway from the Litvak Kollel, the Gerrer Shteibl, and the Addass shul, which is affiliated with the chassidic community. I stayed in the home of lifelong friends from the latter community. They are Belz chassidim. We have been friends since I was in college, when I would do deliveries for them. During the week they are distinctive in their black pants tucked into their socks and their large tzitzit protruding from under their black vests. On Shabbat the distinction is even greater, when they wear large shtreimels, frocks, and white socks. Imagine me on Shabbat, wearing my simple navy blue suit and white shirt, sitting between my host and
his son, who addressed me in a Hungarian twanged English, punctuated at length by Yiddish. I found the occasion welcoming. I am no chassid, but I have much respect for those that are. I am especially respectful of the manner in which they care not how the world views them. They dress and act as they do, and, as my magnanimous hostess once pertinently told me, her late father would be proud. In short, I felt comfortable in their home, which is always open to shluchim from Israel. One morning I was davening in the Mizrahi shul when a Belz chassid walked in and asked me for a donation. “Where are you staying in Melbourne? It isn’t on Mayfield Street, is it?” I asked him. He was taken by surprise. “How do you know?” he asked me. “You woke me this morning at 5 a.m. when you got up,” I replied. “You’re staying there as well? I’ve never seen you.” “I saw you on erev Shabbos.” “Ah, yes,” he said and took away his cupped hand and the two invitations to his daughters’ weddings. “I’ll try to be a little quieter tomorrow,” he added before moving on to deeper pockets than mine.

THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME
AUGUST 30, 2018
44 laughed when they heard we were sleeping under the same roof. On Motzei Shabbat I found myself feeling a little out of my depth. I had no idea my hosts would be hosting a Belz seudat shlishit. When I walked into the house to make havdalah, there were fifty of them at the dining room table. That’s an awful lot of beaver fur. They turned to look at me as I made my entrance. All of them! At the same time! It was most intimidating. I was wearing a woolen beanie on my head against the cold. I distinctly overheard one of the chassidim asking if I was the goy who comes to clean up after Shabbat. I turned on my heels, collected my bag, and went to make havdalah by friends around the corner. And didn’t they laugh not at me, but with me at my little escapade. These friends also hosted me for a few days before I moved into the Belz family. They, too, are close friends. I was in school with them.
He hasn’t changed at all in the 38 years I’ve been away from Melbourne. I did a double take each and every time I looked at him. To me, he’s still the 15-year-old that I knew in high school. A few white hairs have hardly aged him. I’m taken

aback because it’s hard to comprehend that he is the father to 10 children and numerous grandchildren. And here’s the rub of this little story: I’ve visited Australia so irregularly since I left that I am constantly surprised when I run across
Bir s B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M
friends and family members I haven’t seen for so long. It’s like looking into the mirror of life. I see how people have aged. Each time I run into someone the same age as me, my initial surprise makes way for the same feeling: if they have aged,

then so have I. Rather than get upset at the white hairs on my head (or lack of them) I feel better about myself. For there’s nothing I can do about aging except to embrace it for what it is. It spurs me on to stay fit, to eat
healthy (chocolate aside), and to be proud of all I have accomplished. I feel as young as my friend with 10 children looks. I tell myself precisely what I told one of his sons when I commented on his father looks. “You know why he looks and feels so great, don’t you?” “Why?” his son asked me. “Isn’t it clear to you?” He looked confused. “He looks so young due to your mother.” There’s no doubt in my mind why I feel so good about myself and by all I have accomplished until now. It’s all due to my wife, Keren, whom I missed dearly while I was in Australia and who chose instead to stay behind in Ma’alot, while I traipsed around the city of my youth and happened to be mistaken for a cleaner by a room full of 50 Belz chassidim wearing shtreimels.

Notable Quotes “Say What?!”
We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.

B A LT I M O R E J E W I S H H O M E . C O M
He’s the president of the United States. You have to respect the office. No matter who is in the office, you may like, dislike personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office. - Tiger Woods, when asked to comment on President Trump, at a news conference just after the final round of the US PGA Northern Trust tournament last Sunday
John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics. But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher – the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed. - From former President Barack Obama’s statement upon the passing of John McCain
No. I just finished 72 holes and really hungry. - Ibid., when asked by a reporter to comment about the race relations in the U.S.
Please don’t pickaxe my star. I know it’s all the rage these days, but that’s not cool – unless at some point in the future I do something unfathomably monstrous and evil in which case, sure, fine, okay, go ahead. But anything short of that, please limit yourselves to spitting…. Have some class. - Parody icon Weird Al Yankovic, urging people not to destroy his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, while speaking at the National Radio Hall of Fame on Monday
Thank you to Democrat Assemblyman Dov Hikind of New York for your very gracious remarks on @foxandfriends for our deporting a longtime resident Nazi back to Germany! Others worked on this for decades. - Tweet by President Trump after Assemblyman Hikind thanked him for deporting Nazi prison guard Jakiw Pali last week

Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl in Iowa and not this, right?
- Comment by President Trump about the brutal murder of Iowan Mollie Tibbetts by an illegal alien
So he cares about Mollie Tibbetts more than people who don’t believe in separating kids from parents? Or treating undocumented immigrants like dogs? Please.
AUGUST 30, 2018
Mollie Tibbetts, an incredible young woman, is now permanently separated from her family. A person came in from Mexico, illegally, and killed her. We need the wall. We need our immigration laws changed. We need our border laws changed. We need Republicans to do it because Democrats aren’t going to do it. This is one instance of many. We have tremendous crime coming, trying to come through the borders. We have the worst laws anywhere in the world. Nobody has laws like the United States. They are strictly pathetic. We need new immigration laws. We need new border laws. The Democrats will never give them… So, to the family of Mollie Tibbetts – all I can say is G-d bless you, G-d bless you.
THE BALTIMORE JEWISH HOME
- MSNBC’s Christina Greer, last Tuesday, criticizing Fox News for talking about the breaking news that Mollie Tibbetts’ body was found after more than a month after she disappeared rather than talking about the Manafort conviction
All yesterday I was thinking, where is Carl Bernstein? Where’s the guy [CNN brings] out to say “This Is Worse Than Watergate!” The president got a parking ticket – it is worse than Watergate. The president took a phone call – it is worse than Watergate. So they trotted him out, and what headline did they run, I just tweeted it? They run the headline, Carl Bernstein: “This Is Worse Than Watergate!” And I thought, can I just write the news now? What if I just do the news? I’ll tell you what the news is a day ahead of time. Carl Bernstein will be on CNN, and he’ll be saying, “This Is Worse Than Watergate!” - Dilbert creator, Scott Adams, weighing in on the Paul Manafort/Michael Cohen “guilty” outcomes on Wednesday’s edition of his daily “Coffee With Scott Adams Periscope” broadcasts
Her murderer happens to be undocumented. This isn’t about border security. This is about toxic masculinity.
It’s a game changer. It should be…In my view, the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately pause the consideration of the Kavanaugh nomination. - Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) on the Senate floor moments after Michael Cohen pled guilty, creatively arguing that it is grounds to not vote on whether to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee
– Tweet by CNN political analyst Symone Sanders commenting about the murder of Mollie Tibbetts
The new box for Barnum’s Animals crackers perfectly reflects that our society no longer tolerates the caging and chaining of wild animals for circus shows. - Statement by PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman, after Barnum’s Animals crackers changed their box to no longer portray the animal cookies as being caged
The State of Israel, from what we know of it, has not banned Muslim pilgrims from coming to the Kingdom to take part in their religious obligation, however one of the countries, as we know or have been told, have banned pilgrims from traveling. - Saudi Arabia’s minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Abdullatif Bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh, complimenting Israel in a public statement while criticizing an Islamic country (believed to be Qatar) which banned its citizens from attending the Mecca pilgrimage this year

If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen! - Tweet by President Trump after his former attorney Michael Cohen “flipped” and pled guilty and pledged to turn on Trump
I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man! - Ibid., after his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was convicted of charges which were unrelated to Trump
This is a golden age of journalism in a lot of ways... I think we’re doing a lot of great journalism at CNN.
Americans are dying because of a government too coward to save the planet. It’s wrong. And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.
- CNN’s Jake Tapper
– Tweet by congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), baselessly claiming that Americans are dying because of global warming
In the aftermath of Tuesday’s news that both former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his lawyer Michael Cohen were found on the wrong side of the law in separate court cases, the question asked most frequently by the press, Democrats and “Never Trump” Republicans is, “Where do Trump voters go now?” The answer is the same that it has always been since they first started asking it Nov. 9, 2016: With Trump. – Salena Zito, NY Post
This new conservative populist coalition is not the fluke the political class hoped it was. Donald Trump did not cause it, he is just the result of it, so no matter what he does, it continues. It is predicated on them, not him. – Ibid.
Through land expropriation, we are forcing white people to share the land which was gained through a crime against the humanity of black and African people. - South African politician Julius Malema declaring at a press conference that the point of the South Africa’s proposed new “expropriation without compensation” policy would be to take land from white farmers

Raising the Bar on Grammer
An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening. A dangling participle walks into a bar. Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly. A bar was walked into by the passive voice. Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.” A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite. Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.
At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar—fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack. A run-on sentence walks into a bar and orders a drink and I heard that tomorrow it’s going to be sunny outside. Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapses to the bar floor. A figure of speech literally walks into a bar and ends up getting figuratively hammered. An allusion walks into a bar, despite the fact that alcohol is its Achilles heel.
A question mark walks into a bar?
The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known.
A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly.

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
I find myself to be a “good dater” when it comes to the first date or two. I’m very good at asking a young lady details about her past – schools, camps, family, ambitions, etc. I’m a good questioner and a good listener. Whether this takes me one or two dates, I probably know more details about this person than her best friend!
The problem is that I find that after I’ve collected all of these details, and, of course, shared with her any information that she has asked me about myself, I just don’t know how to go from being a good reporter to something more meaningful. Though I know the specifics about her life, I haven’t a clue about how she feels about things, who she is deep down, the real story. And frankly, though these easily shared details are important, it’s not exactly what I’m truly interested in knowing about a person I need to consider getting serious with. I just don’t know how to segue from “reporting” to the next level. I don’t know how one approaches meaningful questions without sounding too invasive or like a therapist! On some level, I feel it’s not my right to get too personal, but how else does one really get to know another person’s essence? Any suggestions regarding becoming a successful third-time dater and then some? Up until now, two dates has been my limit, with nowhere to go.

Rebbetzin Faigie Horowitz, M.S. little social skills training, coaching from a dating coach, and role playing with a friend will do the job. So will reflective thinking about what makes you share on dates. Discussing transformational experiences and influences in your own life will give you an opportunity to draw the other person out. There are other techniques and openers. Learn them. You seem confident and have specifically identified where you are having trouble. I am confident that you will learn these skills and get the other person to open up once you get some help and practice.
Sarah Schwartz Schreiber, P.A. ear Good Dater: Are you listening? Really listening? Truly listening… to the answers you are getting from the young woman across the table? Sorry to burst your bubble, despite your confidence as a competent firstto-second dater, you strike me as if you are conducting a survey rather than connecting with a person of shared background and interests. Are your questions (family, schools, camps) in alphabetical order? Do you check the appropriate boxes during or after the date? I sure hope the clipboard stays home. My point is this. The questions you ask, or rather discuss, during your dates are just a springboard for more

meaningful conversations; if you pay attention to your date’s responses, reactions, even body language, you will learn a lot about her essence, her personality, her temperament and her hashkafos. If you ever get to a third date, you can tote a pocketful of index cards with timely topics on current events. You can even bring games (e.g., Scattergories, Loaded Questions, Bananagrams) to help break the ice and fill awkward silences. Still, if you are unable to actively listen and “get” the person behind the details and the data, you are destined to be stuck at Introductory Dating 101. Speak to your female relatives (cousins, sisters-in-law), your married friends’ wives, your rebbetzin and, if necessary, a dating coach, to help you learn the art of listening, understanding and ultimately connecting with that special person who may become your wife.

Michelle Mond any people find the transition from topics of the mundane to the meaningful difficult. It sounds like you need a good dating game to be a segue into more meaningful topics. The two games I know of are The Ungame and Perfect Matches. I personally created my own game to lend to dating couples when they are having this exact dilemma. The questions in all of these games are often thought-provoking and the couple can get on tangents about many different topics. The questions in these games help the couple open up without anyone feeling like they are being too invasive. After all, if the question is on a card in a game, nobody can be blamed for “being too intrusive.” Once you open the door to discussing deeper and more meaningful topics, you will be surprised how the rest will flow naturally with the right person. Wishing you much hatzlacha getting to the next stage soon!

If you are walking away from your dates feeling as though you read about her, as opposed to experiencing her, you may not be fully engaged or present. The Single Tova Wein irst I must congratulate you on your ability to recognize what is real and what isn’t. Many people I know, young and old, never really “get real” and all of their conversations and relationships are pretty much about nothing. You may have heard of the TV show “Seinfeld” which struck a chord with so many people because it was based on a group of singles who were together all the time, but basically talked about nothing. Their lives were so shallow and so were their conversations. You obviously need and crave something meaningful with the woman you will someday marry. You want to go a bit deeper and really get to connect with her core. How admirable your goal is! What I suggest is that you incorporate certain words into your vocabulary while on a date. Maybe not on the first date, but certainly on the second or third date. Maybe the most important word to use is the word “feel.” For instance, rather than asking, “How many siblings do you have?” you might ask something like, “How does it feel to be one of eleven siblings?” Or, another way of phrasing questions that lend themselves to some introspection and deeper awareness could be the following example: rather than ask, “How

ours is a common question amongst many daters. How do I take my relationship to the next level? You mention in your email that asking personal questions feels invasive or something that a therapist might do. When someone seeks the help of a therapist, they are signing up for exploration of personal territory. When someone is asked a question on a date, maybe they don’t want to be asked that question. And so, you’re in this awkward position of not knowing what is on or off limits. It sounds like you’re trying to be respectful. But all this respect of boundaries is leaving you stuck. Here’s what I have to say about this. Dating is supposed to feel “too personal.” It’s OK to have extended eye contact, to give compliments, to get real, vulnerable and ask questions. Dating isn’t supposed to feel like reporting or an interview. I find that some people rush through questions in an effort to avoid silences or awkwardness. And while this is completely understandable, considering you are spending time with a stranger, it is often unhelpful. What is most helpful is to keep this handy mantra in mind. Slow down. Dig deeper. We do this by asking open-ended questions. If you are walking away from your dates feeling as though you read about her, as opposed to experiencing her, you may not be fully engaged or present. What do I mean by open-ended questions? (That was actually an open-ended question.) Closed-ended question: “Do you like your grad school program?” Open-ended question: “What
do you like about your grad school program?” Or, “What made you decide to go into law?” I find that some people rush through the very first interaction and a huge dose of slow down is in order. Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you. Have you been to this restaurant before? What do you want to eat? Have you have the steak here? Dating shouldn’t feel like a tennis ball machine shooting tennis balls, rather it should feel like a nice volley between two partners. The process of dating can feel overwhelming and everyone is trying to put their best foot forward. But the best advice I have to offer is to trust the process, and trust yourself to slow down and dig deep. (You have to give yourself permission to get personal.) It’s great to come prepared, but then you have to have the confidence to go off script and let it all go…in order to be present and ready to engage. A professor in graduate school taught us to learn theory and be informed of best practice, but when you are sitting with your client, let it go. Toss it. You have to be fully present and engaged, without an agenda or theory, to hear what your client actually needs. Here are some tips to help you quit your reporting day job. 1. Validate and highlight your date’s emotions. Say she looks excited as she is talking to you about her first website she was hired to design. This is an opportunity to connect. We connect around feelings. You could say something like, “Wow, I can see how into website design you are. Amazing
Brooklyn to Long Island?” Obviously, you don’t want every question you ask to sound heavy-handed or potentially intrusive, but certainly throwing in questions like these every so often will shake up the conversations and steer them to a more meaningful place. Practice this new way of relating for as long as it takes to feel comfortable with it, and once you’re able to comfortably pull it off, I think you’ll love the results you get!
that you got your first job.” You can also throw in an open-ended question here. Something like, “What do you love about web design? It sounds so cool.” Even a simple, “Tell me more about web design” would be great. (Remember, slow down, dig deep). People LOVE talking about themselves. Studies show that people feel more connected to those people who show an interest in their lives. If you rush through this interaction to your next prepared question, à la Great! How many siblings do you have? you will have missed the Opportunity to Connect (OTC). Look for OTCs! Emotion is an OTC…always! 2. Tune in with all your attention. Phones and dinging are automatic OTC killers! Shut it off. Unless you are expecting a very important and impossible to reschedule phone call, shut those phones off. There is nothing more important than your date. When you pick up your phone or respond to a quick text, it sends your date the message that she is not as important as whatever is going on on that phone. It doesn’t matter that it is 2018 and everyone is glued to their phones. Human nature is what it is. Phones have to go. 3. Paraphrase what she says. There is nothing more attractive than a man who is listening. Let’s say she talks for five minutes straight about her six married siblings and their children and where everyone lives. Paraphrase. Or try your best. “So, OK, let me see if I get this. There’s Yaakov and Jenny who live in Maryland, etc.” You two may even share a laugh because you probably won’t remember. It’s endearing. Or, she tells you about her grandmother passing away recently. You
The questions you ask, or rather discuss, during your dates are just a springboard for more meaningful conversations. paraphrase. “So that was really hard on you when you had to travel back and forth from Brooklyn to Woodmere every day so you could be at the shiva. Sounds like you really wanted to be there.” 4. Compliment! Using the above scenario…“You’re a really devoted daughter.” (See how we’re not reporting anymore?” Compliments are great OTCs!) We have to acknowledge that the onus is never on one person to do all the connecting. If she is blocking you at every OTC, then she isn’t open to connecting and you can’t connect to someone who isn’t available. If this “reporting” feeling happens only in dating, then try these tips and see if they’re helpful. If you feel that you’ve always had difficulty taking friendship or family relationships to the next level, then you may want to speak with someone about it to see if there is anything getting in the way of pursuing deeper connections. Wishing you all the best!

Political Crossfire
Questions for Kavanaugh By George F. Will
S
enate Republicans and Democrats are at daggers drawn over confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Instead, they should unsheathe some questions designed to illuminate the excitement of constitutional reasoning. The Constitution vests in Congress the power to tax. Presidents, however, unilaterally impose taxes (tariffs) because Congress has delegated to presidents vast discretion in imposing protectionism. Should the court protect the separation of powers by enforcing on Congress a non-delegation doctrine? In the 1905 Lochner case, the court struck down a state law limiting bakers’ work hours because it infringed workers’ and employers’ liberty interest in making consensual contracts. Assuming, as is patent, that this law was rent-seeking by unionized bakers and bakeries – that it was written to protect their interests, not public health and safety – was Lochner correctly decided? Dissenting in Lochner, Oliver Wendell Holmes said the Constitution “does not enact Mr. Herbert Spencer’s ‘Social Statics,’” a book advocating laissez faire economic policies. However, because laissez faire is what freedom looks like in economic life, is there some sense in which the Constitution, the purpose of which is to enable a free society, does foster it? In 1958, the court invalidated, as an infringement of freedom of association, an Alabama law targeting the NAACP by requiring disclosure of organizations’ membership lists. The court said anonymity was necessary
to shield NAACP supporters from dangers. Given today’s instances of individuals injured because of their political affiliations, are mandatory disclosure laws problematic? Are there constitutional limits on the admissions policies that public colleges and universities can use to ensure “diverse” student bodies? The 1978 Bakke case involving racial preferences in admissions said that race can be a “plus” factor for certain government-preferred minorities. Are there constitutional principles controlling decisions
1966 Miranda decision that created the right of arrested persons to be notified of their right to counsel and their right to remain silent. He said the Constitution does not require this, which impedes effective policing. But when a 2000 case gave the court an opportunity to reverse Miranda, Rehnquist wrote for the majority in upholding it, 7-2: “Miranda has become embedded in routine police practice to the point where the warnings have become part of our national culture. While we have overruled our precedents when sub-
Are there constitutional limits on the admissions policies that public colleges and universities can use to ensure “diverse” student bodies?
about which groups are to be preferred and about tailoring preferences? In 2003, when the court affirmed the constitutionality of racial preferences in university admissions, Sandra Day O’Connor, writing for the majority, hoped such preferences would be unnecessary in 25 years. So, do they become unconstitutional in 2028? William Rehnquist was an early and vehement critic of the court’s
sequent cases have undermined their doctrinal underpinnings, we do not believe that this has happened to the Miranda decision.” Does similar reasoning apply to Roe v. Wade? In Roe, the court distinguished different degrees of abortion rights in the three trimesters of pregnancy. What would the constitutional law of abortion be if the number of months in the gestation of a human infant were a prime number (e.g., 7 or 11)? What principles should limit stare
decisis (“to stand by things decided” – respect for precedents)? In its 2005 Kelo decision concerning the Takings Clause (“nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation”), the court said government can seize property for the “public use” of transferring it to wealthier private interests who will pay more taxes to the government. Does this precedent merit much respect? Is it pertinent that Kelo was decided 5-4? In 1995, the court ruled, 5-4, that a state cannot limit by statute the number of terms members of the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate from the state can serve because such term limits create “additional qualifications” for such offices beyond those enumerated in the Constitution. Clarence Thomas, dissenting, said: The Constitution, which only sets minimum eligibility requirements, is silent about the state’s power to set term limits, and its silence is no bar to actions by the states or people. Given the states’ reserved powers affirmed by the 10th Amendment, they “can exercise all powers that the Constitution does not withhold from them.” Was Thomas correct? Finally, to serve the government’s interest in a healthy workforce, and its interest in minimizing the substantial effect of health care costs on the nation’s commercial vitality, could Congress, under its power to regulate interstate commerce, require Americans to eat their broccoli? If not, what principle limits Congress’ Commerce Clause power? (c) 2018, Washington Post Writers Group

S
o what’s it like to be a superhero? Most people won’t really ever get to know the answer to that question, but some people do things that are so incredible that even though they don’t have powers, it seems like they are indeed superheroes. Sophie Donio from Eilat is one such person. She is Israel’s first female EMS ambucycle driver. She is a single working mother, a therapist and a diving instructor who originated the therapeutic program at the Dolphin Reef. When she isn’t working or taking care of her children, both at home or in the diving center, Donio gives her free time to volunteer with United Hatzalah as an EMT first responder and rush out to save the lives of people she has never met. Donio is one of 5,000 volunteers
across the country who put themselves in danger in order to save lives. She, together with her peers, performs CPR, delivers babies and

Donio truly exemplifies what it means to be a woman giving back to
her community in spite of incredible odds. Originally from Paris, she moved to Eilat 28 years ago. In the Dolphin Reef, she founded the program “supportive experience with the aid of dolphins” for children 6 to 16 years old who face various challenges and mental difficulties, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, dyslexia, Down syndrome, depression, cancer, sexual abuse and behavioral problems. “I’ve been working on the water at the Dolphin Reef since 1990 when it began, and water accidents are very rare,” said Donio, who says the lack of drownings and water emergencies is because of the calmness of the Red Sea. “I volunteer because I get a great feeling knowing that I can help some-

66 one and be there for them when they need me. That’s the reason I do what I do and that’s why I’m there,� she explained. Donio works with hundreds of children each year who come to take part in the educational classes at the dolphin reef. She said that she has time to volunteer, usually after the classes end for the day and before she is needed at home. But should an emergency occur nearby, she’ll drop everything and rush out to save a life whenever needed. Donio mentioned one particularly stressful incident when, after performing CPR on a 14-year-old girl for almost an hour, she, together with the other EMS first responders, succeeded at bringing the girl’s pulse back. However, the girl later died in the hospital and it was discovered that she had suffered from swine flu and that Donio and the other responders endangered their own lives by simply touching the girl. Donio also mentioned that she found out
Sophie on her ambucycle
afterward that the girl was in the same school as her son, which made her very anxious. Thankfully, there were no other casualties following the incident. Donio is breaking down barriers
in addition to saving lives. Donio is the first woman in United Hatzalah to have been given an ambucycle. She is trailblazing a path for other female first responders in the organization to receive one as well.
Founder and president of United Hatzalah, Eli Beer, said, “For many years I have been trying to get our women volunteers to drive ambucycles. Currently, all of our female volunteers are using their own private vehicles or electric bicycles to respond to medical emergencies. Sophie was our first ambucycle driver, but hopefully not the last. I heard that Sophie wanted to join the ambucycle unit and I told everyone who was involved in making that happen that we needed to make the process as smooth and quick as possible. I want many others to follow her. “We are very proud of the work that she has been doing,� he added. “She has saved many lives already and is an inspiration to her chapter, the organization as a whole, and women who want to help save lives everywhere. We are doing everything we can to encourage Sophie and those like her who stand as a shining example of the selflessness and courage to other women.�

Dirshu Multitudes of Jews Around the World to Participate in ‘International Yom Limud and Tefillah’ During Week of Chofetz Chaim’s Yahrzeit By Chaim Gold Selichos is upon us, Rosh Hashanah is around the corner. It is a time for introspection, and tefillah. Moreover, it is the week of the Chofetz Chaim’s yahrzeit. Perhaps there is no person in recent generations to whom we owe more spiritual hakoras hatov, than the Chofetz Chaim, who bestowed upon us, the twin brachos of the Mishnah Berurah and the Sefer Chofetz Chaim, seforim that illuminate our spiritual lives every single day of the year. In recent years, the week of the Chofetz Chaim’s yahrzeit has been marked with remarkable achdus as Klal Yisrael the world over engaged in an ‘International Yom Limud and Tefillah’. Jews throughout the world gathered to recite specific chapters of Tehillim and learn segments from the two seminal seforim written by the Chofetz Chaim, the Mishnah Berurah and the Sefer Chofetz Chaim. The Yom Limud and Tefillah, under the auspices of Dirshu and its kiruv arm, Acheinu, is designed to reach out with a message of achdus to all Jews from across the spectrum and at all levels of observance, promoting Torah learning and tefillah. Countering Danger with Unified Tefillah There is so much strife in the world, so much danger as countries threaten each other and natural disasters strike. There is so much polarization and heated rhetoric. The Yom Limud and Tefillah has been designated as a day of remarkable unity, a day when all Jews will learn the seforim of the Chofetz Chaim and make a special effort to avoid discord, lashon hara as well as any form of gossip, thereby combining sur meirah with aseh tov.
This year’s Yom Limud and Tefillah is the 4th such event. Over the past three years, more than one million Yidden across the world participated in this auspicious day. This year, too, Jews from all walks of life, spanning five continents will gather together on Friday, 27 Elul/ September 7th to invoke rachmei shomayim in advance of the approaching Rosh Hashana. From skyscrapers in Manhattan, to classrooms in Texas; from the Kosel Hamaaravi to Teveria; from Melbourne, Australia, to Buenos Aries, Argentina, Yidden will come together to recite Tehillim and learn the seforim of the Chofetz Chaim, whose yahrzeit is marked that week, while resolving to follow the hallowed path which he forged. In Eretz Yisrael, hundreds of chadorim and Bais Yaakovs plan to participate, while throughout the diverse communities from across the
United States and Canada, a wide range of more than forty schools that truly represent the entire panoply of Orthodox Jewry have signed up for the Yom Limud and Tefillah school programs. They included schools hailing from communities such as Monsey, NY, Lakewood, NJ, Brooklyn, NY, Manhattan, NY, Toronto, Canada, Houston, TX, Baltimore, MD, Cleveland, OH, Waterbury, CN, Phoenix, AZ, Passaic, NJ, Denver, CO, Boston, MA, and Los Angeles, CA. Dirshu has prepared special, age-appropriate material for schools to bring the message and legacy of the Chofetz Chaim to life. The three different booklets, which will be distributed to participating boys’ and girls’ schools across the United States and Canada, have been specifically designed for three age groups: grades 1-3, 4-6 and 7-8. The booklets contain age-appropriate halachos from both the sefer Chofetz Chaim and Mishnah Berurah, inspirational and educational stories about the Chofetz Chaim, as well as age-appropriate, biographical material about the Chofetz Chaim and his life’s mission. The booklets are available in both English and Yiddish, thereby enabling each school to participate b’achdus in accordance with their mesorah. The schools will also say Tehillim on behalf of Klal Yisrael and the tefillah of ‘Acheinu Kol Bais Yisrael’. Businesses Take A Break For Klal Yisrael Another important component to the Yom Limud and Tefillah is the fact that many frum-owned businesses with multitudes of employees have similarly pledged to take a few minutes on Friday 27 Elul/September 7,
a busy workday, to participate in the davening and learning to mark the Yom Limud and Tefillah. The effort to go well beyond the Torah observant community and to encourage Jewish Unity among the masses is being spearheaded by the Acheinu organization, the kiruv arm of Dirshu. Last year, that effort was remarkably well received by secular Jews. In fact, this idea of the importance of Jewish Unity was even picked up by the secular press. Articles about the importance of the Day of Jewish Unity that coincides with the yahrzeit of the Chofetz Chaim appeared in numerous general publications such as Fox News, the Washington Times, the Huffington Post, the American Thinker and the Jerusalem Post. Tapping into the Eis Ratzon The bottom line is that every thinking Jew can’t fail to realize that we are living in truly perilous times. Even in the United States there is a certain sense of instability as the harsh political strife and extraordinary, mean-spiritedness has reached unprecedented levels. There is civil unrest and the threat of terrorism at home and abroad, that can have severe ramifications. At this uncertain juncture we are in dire need of tremendous rachmei shomayim. Now, right before the yom hadin is the time to join together with untold numbers of Jews all over the world to daven for Klal Yisrael. The week of the Chofetz Chaim’s yahrzeit is also an exceedingly auspicious time to invoke Divine mercy. Join with Klal Yisrael in the Yom Limud and Tefillah this Friday, 27 Elul/September 7, 2018, and tap into this unique eis ratzon!

By Aliza Beer MS, RD • Mix it Up: Include a variety of foods so your child doesn’t get bored. Switch things up and pair different snacks, fruits, carbs, and protein. • Keep Food Separate: Having a lunchbox with separate compartments and/or liners will help you remember to include all the components of a balanced meal. Keeping the carb, protein, fruit, and veggies separated also makes it fun for the kids when they open up their lunchboxes. It’s also perfect for picky eaters who don’t like their foods to touch. Adjust the portion sizes based on your child’s appetite and age. • Food Safety: Remember that the lunch will remain at room temperature for several hours, so perishable items will need an ice pack to stay cool. If you are sending soup, a thermos is the best way to keep it hot. • Water: Water, seltzer, fla-
vored-water and flavored seltzer, lowfat milk, and unsweetened lemonade are great options for your child’s drinks. Most lunches should consist of a whole grain carb, a protein, veggies and fruit. Many yeshivas are nutfree schools, so avoid sending nuts or food products containing nuts. I’ve compiled a list of lunch meal options. Please feel free to mix and match, according to your child’s likes and dislikes, or substitute for the child that is gluten-free or dairy-free. • Greek yogurt with fiber cereal and berries; peppers and cucumbers; grapes and a mini zucchini muffin. • Whole wheat mini bagel with lowfat cheese, lettuce and tomato; sugar snap peas, and a pear. • Turkey (can be smoked or Mexican) on a whole-wheat wrap with pick-
les; baby corn; and two tangerines. • Egg salad on whole wheat or whole grain bread; sliced tomatoes; jicama, and unsweetened applesauce. • Grilled chicken Caesar salad with whole wheat croutons or with whole grain cereal, or crackers crumbled up with low fat Caesar dressing, cucumbers, celery, peppers; and sliced cup of peaches in its own juice, not syrup. • Tuna in a pepper with rice cakes or melba toast; mini carrot muffin; and an apple. • Whole wheat or brown rice pasta with low sugar tomato sauce and part skim shredded mozzarella; string beans; and two plums. • Turkey or chicken burger on a whole wheat parve sandwich or bagel thin with lettuce and tomato; pickles; coleslaw made with low fat mayo; and a cup of sliced mango.

t’s that time of the year again! Back to school season is upon us. The regular school routine includes packing school lunches and snacks, which can be a challenge. Many parents struggle with trying to balance nutritious choices with what their child will actually eat. Staying organized by planning ahead and having a variety of fresh, fun, and healthy ideas helps make life easier when dealing with school lunches. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when packing school lunches: • Plan Ahead: Make lunches ahead of time, preferably the night before. Leaving lunch prep to the morning will only create chaos and stress and probably not the healthiest lunch around. Plan the menu together with your child for the week and go food shopping on Sunday.

• Hummus and whole grain crackers; Israeli salad; broccoli muffin; and strawberries. • Greek salad with light feta cheese; whole grain crackers or melba toast; a cup of pineapple. • Whole wheat pita with baked falafel balls; techina; Israeli salad; and a large peach. • One to two rolls of sushi, preferably brown rice. If there is no fish and it’s only a vegetable roll then add 2 light cheese sticks or a yogurt; and a cup of blueberries. • Salad consisting of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, corn, chickpeas, avocado, pickles, and a protein like a hard-boiled egg or turkey cubes or chicken; apple chips for dessert. • Breaded and baked chicken cutlet with hummus; peppers and cucumbers; cauliflower muffin; and unsweetened applesauce. • Pesto chicken with zoodles; baby carrots; corn; and sliced oranges. • Roast beef sandwich on whole
wheat bread; zucchini leek soup; and a cup of mixed melons. • Veggie burger on a whole wheat bagel thin, with mashed cauliflower; hearts of palm; and unsweetened dried mango. What do you do with the picky eater who doesn’t love fruits and veggies? Try “hiding” them in veggie kugels and soups. For the child that doesn’t like fruit I have found that all natural
organic fruit leathers or unsweetened applesauce or dehydrated apple chips will do the trick. Give them whatever healthy foods they will eat as often as possible. Continually persist in trying to introduce new healthy foods. What do you do with the child that eats school lunch? Unfortunately, school lunches are notorious for being high in sugar and fat and low in fiber and veggies. Discuss the menu with
your children in advance and positively encourage them to make healthier choices, like the salad bar if that’s even an option. Motivate them to make smart choices when they portion their macaroni ‘n’ cheese, ziti, lasagna, hot dogs, or fried chicken, and to take extra helpings of the veggies or fruit if they are still hungry. Pack them healthy and filling snacks like fruits, veggies, 100 calorie bags of popcorn or whole grain pretzels. Stress the importance of drinking water throughout the day. Preparing your children with well-rounded nutritious lunches will give them the energy needed to focus and succeed in school and will instill healthy eating habits that they will carry through their growing years into adulthood.

s the long days of summer wane and we prepare both practically and emotionally for another academic year, I would like to share one of my longstanding sentiments. I have generally been reluctant to share this opinion with others since it might seem to be an inconsistent belief for someone who leads an educational institution. I believe that we have created our own impediment by incorporating our learning of Torah into “schools.” Now, before you conclude “well, he’s lost it,” please allow me to explain fully. Compulsory education has been in effect throughout the United States for more than a century. In fact, the last holdout, Mississippi, passed this into law in 1917. Most states require students to remain in school, either public or private, until 16 or 17, some until 18, and in Texas the law requires school attendance until age 19. Currently, New York State requires its students to attend school until 16 years of age. A century ago, Jewish immigrants
struggled to inculcate their religious identities into their children while simultaneously attempting to integrate into the greater American culture. Lacking the many choices of full-time accredited yeshivos that we currently enjoy, many families utilized the only option available to provide their children with a Torah education while remaining in compliance with the law. They sent them to what became known as a “Talmud Torah” where the children learned with a rebbe, sometimes for several hours, after their day in public school. The flaw in this system was that the learning of Torah was quickly relegated to being of lesser importance (a tremendous understatement) and in many cases stopped altogether post bar mitzvah. At that time, there was no better choice to be had, but that generation was in great danger of being lost to Judaism before day schools and yeshivos emerged. I can attest firsthand that upon graduation at bar mitzvah age, it was not mortarboards that were tossed into the air, but rather yarmulkes.
The advent of full day yeshivos greatly ameliorated the situation and was a probable main contributor, if not the main rescue of Torah education in the 20th century. The historic upsurge of widespread true Torah scholarship over the course of the last two generations gives testament to the achievements of the educational system as a whole. That system of yeshivos saved me from becoming another Jewish statistic, and I am exceptionally grateful for all that it provided for both myself and my children. That being said, I believe the yeshiva “system” has drawbacks of its own, which have significant impacts on the psyche of our children. Incorporating both limudei kodesh and limudei chol into our yeshivos has enabled our children to benefit from a rich blend of chinuch and education. Unfortunately, it also risks having our talmidim perceiving limud haTorah as just another “subject.” The subtlety of the matter can sometimes be lost on our young charges and it’s not completely their
fault. After all, we assign tests and give grades for limud haTorah, as we do for any general studies subject. It is not uncommon to hear the words, “I have a math test, a Gemara test and a history test this week” in the same sentence, which exacerbates the problem. Even though talmidim often ask to learn “l’shma,” the reality is that a testing/grading system may be the only way to consistently achieve engagement in the early years. I do find that this is less the case as talmidim mature, but it is definitely a process. Many yeshivos take pains to break limudei kodesh into longer sedarim instead of general studies style “periods” and separate the day into separate kodesh and chol portions to emphasize that limudei kodesh learning is not just another subject in their day. When talmidim ask me if we have school on a particular Sunday or Friday, my reply is always, “No, but we have yeshiva.” I’m not sure, however, that any of these measures truly resolve the basic problem. I want to be clear that I am a

80 staunch advocate for a superior general studies education and I’m proud that there is no shortage of such offerings in our community. I am quite confident that we are not a target of YAFFED - Young Advocates for Fair Education (no connection to Yaffe). The well-known aphorism, “I never allowed schooling to interfere with my education” is incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain, but although Twain was a self-taught man with no formal education beyond primary school, he did write that “the self-taught man seldom knows anything accurately” and “does not know a tenth of as much as he could have known if he had worked under teachers.” He cautioned that the man who bragged of his lack of formal education was merely “fooling other thoughtless people into going and doing the same as he himself has done” (posthumously published essay “Taming the Bicycle,” written in 1884). However, as much as we value a secular education, Torah learning is not the equivalent of secular academ-
ic studies. Torah learning teaches us how to live optimal Jewish lives and recognize the real truths of our world. Drawing an equivalency between the two is not healthy – and certainly not accurate. I don’t have one easy solution to this challenges. However, I think we

and dedication to the learning of our beloved Torah by people who are not in “school” anymore, but who remain connected nonetheless through daily consistency and enthusiasm. Most importantly, they need to know that it is through the Torah that we connect to Hashem Yisborach and achieve devaikus with Him. This is no small ambition, but working assiduously towards this goal may just help our children perceive and value the “yeshivos” within our “schools.” Rabbi Mordechai Yaffe is the Rosh HaYeshiva of Ateres Yaakov, a local Mesivta (MAY) and Yeshiva Gedolah, with over 220 talmidim, and the rav of Kehillah Ateres Yaakov. Besides his decades as an experienced mechanech, Rabbi Yaffe holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and is licensed to practice in the State of New York.

Back to School The 2018 Primer By Hylton I. Lightman, MD, DCH (SA), FAAP
The Sleep Schedule
Backpack Safety There’s something endearing about seeing kids with their knapsacks, trudging off to school or getting off the bus in the afternoon. Backpacks are a popular and practical way for children, teenagers and college students to carry schoolbooks and supplies. But they must be used correctly as they are designed to distribute the weight of the load among some of the body’s strongest muscles.
When choosing a backpack, look for: • Wide-padded shoulder straps: Narrow straps can dig into the shoulders, causing pain and restricting circulation. • Tw o shoulder s t r a p s: One-shouldered bags running across the body cannot distribute the weight evenly. • Padded back: This protects against sharp edges on objects inside the backpack and increases comfort. • Lightweight backpack: The contents are heavy enough. Let’s not exacerbate things. Do the following to prevent injury when using a backpack: • Always use both shoulder straps. • Tighten the straps so they are close to the body. The straps should hold the pack two inches above the waist. • Pack light. This sounds obvious but please, the backpack should weigh no more than 20% of the person’s weight. • Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack the heaviest items closest to the center of the back. • Use school lockers instead of shlepping everything from room to room, up and down stairs. Parents may have to speak to schools about allowing enough time for this. • Use both knees when bending
down. • Learn back strengthening exercises to carry the knapsack.
Making the First Day Easier My dear parents, you don’t have to wait until the first day of class to ask for help. Schools are open to address any concerns a child or parent may have. The best time to get help might be now, a week or two before school begins. Many children become nervous about new situations, including changing to a new school, classroom or teacher. This may occur at any age or stage. If your child seems nervous, it can be helpful to rehearse entry into the new situation. Take them to visit the new school before the first day of school. Perhaps they can visit the playground in order to become more familiar with their new environment. Remind them they will see old friends and will meet new ones. Touch base with your child’s new teachers at the beginning or end of day so that the teacher knows how much you want to be supportive of your child’s school experience.
Eating during the School Day You know this but it bears worth repeating. Studies show that children who eat a nutritious breakfast function

This is a public service announcement advocating for sleep, sleep and more sleep. Getting enough sleep is critical for success in school, including college and graduate school – and for most areas of life. Sleep is synonymous with health. Getting sufficient sleep contributes to improved attention, safer driving, less health risks, and a more consistent mood. Honestly, most people are nicer when they have slept. Quick reminder: school-aged children need 9 to 11 hours of sleep nightly and teens need 8½ to 9½ hours. Yes. Those are real numbers. What should we do to achieve this? First, pay attention now to timing. Shift slowly and start getting ready now. Labor Day weekend is
still way off at the end of next week but remember that many Jewish schools are beginning already next week. If bedtime has migrated to 10pm, for example, and you’re hoping to have your kids sleeping by 8pm for school, start now. Move bedtime forward about 30 minutes every 3 to 4 days. Next: Screens, phones, iPads, computers, etc. It’s no secret that using any kind of screen and exposing ourselves to the light they emit handicaps our natural sleep hormone melatonin from rising and helping our brain drift off to sleep. There should be a hard “cut off” time nightly when all the “toys” are laid to rest. One hour prior to the desired sleep time is the minimum. Rather than having them languish on night tables or desks in rooms, have all screens, tablets, phones, and laptops transition back to “sleeping” in the kitchen.

love this time of the year. Backto-school. It engenders warm, fuzzy feelings of optimism and hope as we embark on a new school year with the Jewish New Year not far behind. Even people who have “aged out” of this phase of back-toschool are caught up in this mood which is pregnant with possibilities. Like anything else, some planning can help to make a “win-win” for back-to-school for you and your children. Here are some proven tips to help your family during this important time.

better. They do better in school and have better concentration and more energy. Some schools provide breakfast. If yours does not, make sure your child eats a breakfast that has some protein. Most schools regularly send schedules of the lunch program in school or have them posted on the school’s website. With this advance information, you can plan on packing lunch on the days when the main course is one your child prefers not to eat. Look into what is offered in your school’s vending machines. All foods sold during the school day must meet nutrition standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Perhaps the time has come for a groundswell revolution of parents petitioning schools to make fruits available for students. Mom and Dad, you can and should send fruits with your children to school. But let’s also aim for a sugar-free or very minimal sugar environment. When a child hits the afternoon energy lows, the front desk should have apples waiting. Or the vending machine, should have zero junk snacks, along with low-fat dairy products (Cholov Yisrael, of course) and water. Please don’t tell me these are tacky ideas. I invite you to submit your suggestions how we can begin putting sugar in its place so it topples from its ubiquitous place in our children’s lives (especially schools) and is relegated to an unimportant position while we energize our children properly. Remember: Each 12-ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 poisonous calories. Drinking just one can of soda daily increases a child’s risk of obesity by 60%. Not enough said but I’m leaving it alone for now.
Developing Good Homework and Study Habits Starting at a young age, create an environment that is conducive to doing homework. Children need a consistent workspace. Some like the desk in the bedroom. My children have an affinity for the dining room
table. What matters is the space is quiet, without distractions, and promotes study. Establish a household rule that
pervision (this does not mean doing their work) can help overcome homework problems. When your child tastes success in this area, he

television and other electronic distractions stay off during homework time. Many of our children need the computer for homework. Parents: monitor, monitor and monitor, and I’m not talking about a noun that’s part of the computer setup. Be vigilant and know what goes on. Need guidance? Reach out to Smart Connections at http://www. smartconnectionsny.com/. Be available to answer questions and offer assistance. Never do a child’s homework for him. If a child is struggling with a particular subject, speak with the teacher for recommendations on how you or another person can help the child at home. If you have concerns about the assignments your child is receiving, talk with his teacher. But not the first week of school. Let things settle in a bit. Teachers are also overwhelmed with the school year kick off. Help your child remember his homework assignments by tracking them on a homework sheet (younger grades) and then graduating to a homework assignment book. Some children need help organizing their homework. It’s okay to be a “helicopter parent.” I will be extolling the virtues of the helicopter parent in a future article. For our purposes now, the best way to build independence in a child is to help them to become self-sufficient. And the earlier you start, the better. Some kids need help organizing their binders, notebooks, whatever. Checklists, timers and parental su-
will want to do more.
Medications One last note. The topic is medication. Your child may be medicated for ADD or ADHD, perhaps 365 days per year, perhaps on school days only. If your child’s medication regimen is on hiatus during the
summer, before returning to school is the best time to reintroduce the medication protocol. Your child will then have time to adjust. Perhaps the dosage has to be tweaked. Please start this process the week before school resumes. Structure your child’s environment for success. Plan for healthy sleeping and healthy eating. Make sure your child has the physical “props,” including knapsacks and homework assignment books, to succeed. Go to the back-to-school nights where you meet the teachers and hear directly from them about the plans for the school year. Help build your children from the inside out and grow from strength to strength. As always, daven. Dr. Hylton I.

Social Anxiety Disorder in the Workplace By Rabbi Azriel Hauptman
Anxiety disorders come in many shapes and forms, but one of the most common forms of anxiety is social anxiety disorder, and the one of the most common manifestations of social anxiety disorder is workplace anxiety. You might be wondering, what is the connection between social anxiety and the stress and anxiety of the workplace? Isn’t the workplace by its very
nature a stressful place? Let us first explore the essence of social anxiety disorder and then we will see how social anxiety in the workplace is very different than the regular stress of the workplace. As its name would imply, social anxiety is the fear of social situations. However, it is not simply the fear of being in a social situation, rather it

is the fear of being negatively scrutinized or judged by others in those social situations. As in all anxiety disorders, we all have some anxiety, but for some people their anxiety is so acute that it interferes with their lives. For example, if you are unable to ask a store employee to help locate a product or you are unable to ask someone for directions (out of fear that you will be negatively judged as being dim-witted), then you live your whole life buying the wrong product and getting lost. We must point out that we are not dealing with narcissistic people who need others to believe that they are the smartest people in the world, rather this is a population that knows that their fear is groundless and irrational, yet they are still unable to overcome their fear. This is similar to phobias such as fear of heights that even though the rational part of their brain knows that the fear is baseless, they are still gripped with a sense of terror and trepidation. There are few places where people fear about how they are judged as much as the workplace. No one wants to lose the job that pays their bills and puts food on the table, so the part of our brain that is constantly on the lookout for danger is working overtime. This can lead to irrational fears as our brain misidentifies normal interactions of the workplace as being threatening. Here are some examples of common workplace activities that can be terrifying for people with social anxiety: Speaking up during a meeting, making a presentation, being inter-
viewed for a job, interactions with the boss, having to talk during a conference call, doing team projects, and asking for help within earshot of the supervisor. Sometimes the anxiety results in avoidance such as an employee who never speaks up during a meeting or always declines to make a presentation. Obviously, such an employee will probably be the first to get laid off and will certainly not get a promotion. For many people, the anxiety results in physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweaty palms, blushing, or talking in a shaky voice. Even if you do not have any glaring symptoms, your workplace can still drain you of your energy if you feel like you are “sitting on shpilkes” all day long. Social anxiety disorder is treated with psychotherapy and/or medication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (known as CBT) customized for social anxiety disorder is typically the therapy of choice.
Social anxiety disorder in the workplace can cause tremendous impairments in one’s life leading to lost opportunities in one’s professional career. The good news is that it is very treatable when one sees a mental health clinician who is experienced in the treatment of this disorder. 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

Are We Richer Than We Think? By Robert J. Samuelson
T
he Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank, put out an interesting report the other day, whose main conclusion is this: Much of the Great Recession’s economic damage has been repaired. On average, most working U.S. households – there are many individual exceptions of course – are earning more than before the recession. To skeptics of the strong U.S. recovery (including me), this is powerful evidence to the contrary. It’s also confusing. When Pew economist Richard Fry crunched the numbers of a recent Federal Reserve study, he found that most generations of working Americans now have higher incomes than before the recession. Even so, he also reported that median incomes for all U.S. households had actually declined about 3 percent since 2007. How could this be? The findings seem contradictory. The explanation is that income
gains of working households are being offset by the income declines of retirees. When people retire, their incomes typically drop, even though Social Security and their savings – mostly homes, stocks and bonds – may enable them to live a comfortable life. There are times when a table is worth a thousand words. This is one of those times. Look at the table below. It gives income information (corrected for both inflation and household size) for all the generations since World War II: The Silent Generation – those born from 1928 to 1945 and who were 71 to 88 in 2016; the baby boom – born from 1946 to 1964 and who were 52 to 70 in 2016; Generation X – born from 1965 to 1980 and who were 36 to 51 in 2016; and, finally, millennials, born from 1981 to 1996 and who were 20 to 35 in 2016. The table confirms that most non-elderly U.S. households are,
according to Pew’s analysis, at near record-level incomes. The glaring exceptions are the Silent Generation and baby boomers, whose incomes have declined substantially from their peaks. For example, baby boomers’ income peaked at $84,864 in 2007 and dropped 15 percent by 2016. But this is almost certainly a reflection of demographics, says Fry. Thousands of baby boomers, many with well-paid jobs, are retiring every day. For many if not most, their incomes drop when they leave the labor force. As more baby boomers retire, their influence on their median income becomes larger. The same process has already affected the Silent Generation. Just the opposite may be happening to millennials. As is well known, they bore much of the brunt of the Great Recession. Marriage and homeownership rates dropped; many have continued living with
their parents. But these younger workers, in their late 20s and early 30s, are now moving up career ladders and receiving larger pay increases. That probably explains most of the millennials’ income gain of nearly two-fifths. What’s more, savings rates have remained relatively high, as first pointed out by The Wall Street Journal’s Paul Kiernan. The personal savings rate is defined as after-tax personal income minus spending. In 2005 it got as low as 3.2 percent, but from 2014 to 2017, it has averaged 7 percent. This suggests that many households are either saving more or borrowing less (borrowing is negative savings). That’s probably good news for the economy. It suggests that households aren’t so over-extended with loans that any setback will tip the country into a long and deep slump. Companies and households have enough cash to withstand another recession without draconian cuts in either consumer purchases or business investment. There’s another lesson, too: Our economic rhetoric has a negative bias. Given a chance of describing the economy, many politicians, pundits and economists of both the left and right embrace the worst possible interpretation. Conventional wisdom holds that incomes are “stagnant,” even when – as the Pew study indicates – they’re moving ahead slowly. Who knows, we may be richer than we think.

IRS Loves “New” Math By Allan Rolnick, CPA
AUGUST 30, 2018
P
math and wonder if maybe 2+2 doesn’t somehow equal just one. Here’s the first problem: legal fees. Lots of attorneys go to law school because there’s no math. But there’s one calculation any ambulance chaser can do in his sleep, and that’s take a third off the top. (The next time you meet one at a party, throw out an 11-digit prime number,
million in punitives. That leads to the second problem: taxes. Compensatory damages are tax-free, so Johnson keeps his full $23.4 million there. And under the “old math,” he could deduct the remaining $100 million in legal fees before paying tax on his $250 million in punitive damages. He’ll be in the top 37% tax rate, meaning
They get to collect tax on that $100 million in legal fees for the punitive damage twice: once from Johnson who wins them and again from the lawyer who earns them.
and be amazed how fast you get back a response. Try it, it’s fun!) We’ll assume for this discussion that Johnson’s lawyers take 40% in fees and expenses, or $115.6 million. That leaves him with $23.4 million net compensatory damages and $150
$55.5 million goes Uncle Sam. As a California resident, another $18 million goes to Sacramento. That leaves $95 million. That’s a lot less than $289 million, of course. But it’s still a pretty nice result, although we’re guessing Johnson would rather get
to “live” than “be rich.” Now here’s where the “new math” upends those numbers. Last year’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminates the deduction for legal fees related to punitive damages. So now Johnson pays the same $100 million to his lawyers, but still pays tax on it. That launches his tax bill up to $122.5 million and leaves him with just $50.9 million — less than 18% of the original award! Of course, the IRS is delighted. They get to collect tax on that $100 million in legal fees for the punitive damages twice: once from Johnson who wins them and again from the lawyers who earn them. What’s not to like from their perspective? Now finally, here’s the good part, at least for you. You don’t have to know the first thing about new math to pay less tax. Our tax planning service gives you a pesticide that eliminates wasted taxes, with no unpleasant side effects. So call us when you’re ready to save, and we’ll see how “green” your garden grows!

arenting is full of all sorts of milestones. Some of them are precious, like your child’s first steps, their first words, and their first day of school. Some of them are less welcome, like a first broken bone, or a visit from the law. But there’s one milestone that takes some parents by surprise, and that’s the day they realize they can’t help their kid with math homework anymore. This is especially jarring when the kids come home insisting their teacher taught them 2+2=5. The “new” math can’t be that different from the “old” math? It’s still just math, right? Last week, a California lawsuit involving Monsanto Corporation’s flagship product, Roundup weed killer, reveals how the new math of last year’s tax law changes the rules. A San Francisco-area school groundskeeper named Dewayne Johnson, who sprayed up to 150 gallons of the pesticide at a time, sued Monsanto, claiming it gave him cancer. The jury agreed and awarded him $289 million, including $39 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages. Unfor tunately for Johnson, he’s not going to get to keep anywhere near that whole $289 million. He’s going to run into some new

Sift 1 cup of flour into a bowl. Add salt and pepper. Whisk in the eggs and sriracha. Slowly add the beer, whisking after each addition. Allow the batter to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot, skillet or deep fryer to 360-375°F. Dredge fish in the remaining flour, shaking off excess. Then coat the fish in the batter. Add the battered fish to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

As an Australian, fish and chips is a staple of my family’s menu. I have added my own twist to this classic recipe by mixing in some sriracha to give it a little kick.
