HEALTH & LIFESTYLE
Learning Enhancers By Chana Mendelowitz
A
fter the summer break, it takes time to get back into routine. For weeks at a stretch, many of us have been allowing our brains to “relax” – which makes the transition into the new school year a challenge for even the most academically inclined. Some of us have trouble concentrating and retaining material even at the best of times, for a wide variety of reasons. But don’t despair! Brain trouble has been around for as long as the brain itself, and as usual, the refuah has preceded the makkah. Herbal learning enhancers abound in nature and they are virtually free of the nasty side effects that are part and parcel of taking pharmaceutical drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall. As with any other health issue, herbs are only one prong of the holistic approach that should be adopted to deal with the problem at hand. Getting enough sleep is essential, as is proper nutrition. What a shame to see mothers buying expensive vitamin supplements, only to effectively neutralize their effect when they can’t resist “dosing” their children simultaneously with sugar and refined flour products. Sufficient B vitamins in the diet is also of paramount importance; too little of the B vitamins and energy levels will drop, concentration will be poor, and nervous fidgeting and stress increase. Sugar overload is a culprit here, too, as
too much sugar dilutes the impact of B vitamins in the body. But if you’ve already taken care of the basics, and things still aren’t as good as they could be, try some of the following time-tested herbs. Be patient; unlike with pharmaceutical drugs, you won’t usually see immediate improvements, but nonetheless, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised at how mere “vegetables” can enhance your brain power. Rosemary If you were thinking that you surely need something expensive and exotic to deal with an organ as sophisticated as the brain, then think again. Rosemary has a track record going back thousands of years in treating all manner of brain issues ranging from forgetfulness, poor concentration, absent-mindedness, and the common headache. In the days of the ancient Roman Empire, students used to braid sprigs of the fresh herb into their hair during examinations, in order to remain alert and focused. Luckily, there are other, less conspicuous ways to reap the benefits of this fragrant herb: Tea: Take 1 ½ tablespoons of dried rosemary, or a 1 to 2 inch piece of the fresh herb, and simmer in 8 oz water for five minutes. You can also pour boiling water over the herb in a mug, and let it steep, covered, for five
20 www.NyBuzzMagazine.com I To advertise, call 718-513-9885
minutes, if you prefer, although the resulting tea will not be as strong. You can drink this tea regularly, and especially before examinations or at other stressful occasions. There is some evidence that rosemary has an anti-Alzheimer’s effect, making it a good idea for older people to drink this tea on a regular basis. As an added bonus, rosemary boosts the immune system, making you less susceptible to cold viruses and the like. Tincture: Take a small jar and fill it half-way with dried rosemary, or entirely fill it with the fresh herb. Add vodka, 80 proof (100 is better if you can get hold of it) to fill the jar. Shake the jar daily for the first week, and then let sit for another five weeks. The liquid will turn a vivid green color. Strain the herb out and store. A daily dose would be a teaspoon-full. Sage Sage can be used in place of rosemary if you prefer the taste and aroma. Sage tea is also an astringent, making it an excellent choice if you are trying to shake off a cold and need to clear out your nasal passages and sinuses. Its generally drying properties are also helpful if you’re the kind of person who sweats a lot when nervous, as it reduces perspiration. But because it works so well, it’s not advisable to drink sage tea for more than a few days at a time. Sage and rosemary both seem

to work on the brain by protecting acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain responsible for thinking, learning, and retaining knowledge. Gotu Kola Gotu kola is a well-known herb used to stimulate brain functioning. It is renowned as a memory enhancer and is also effective in combating anxiety and depression. It improves blood circulation and will help you concentrate and focus intently for longer spans of time. Gotu kola can be taken in capsule form; recommended dose is between 1000 and 2000mg, twice a day. If you take it long-term, alternate six weeks on with two weeks off, so that your body won’t become too accustomed to it, reducing its effectiveness.
and nerve health, reducing stress. It also improves circulation and glucose absorption. You’ll have to take gingko for about a month to six weeks before seeing real improvements. Take between 60 and 120mg in capsule form, twice a day. Rhodiola A less-known herb, rhodiola is a powerful adaptogen that nourishes the body and enhances its ability to deal with stress. It appears to boost circulation to the brain, leaving you feeling more alert and focused. A good choice for students, in combination
with a good multi-vitamin including B-complex. Lemon Balm Lemon balm’s delicious fragrance makes it a good choice as a portable “pick-me-up” to be carried around in your pocketbook or jacket pocket whenever you need a quick sniff to clear your mind. Rosemary essential oil is also a good addition to your herbal cabinet. Massage a little into your temples to combat a headache and get the refreshing sleep you need. Wishing all our productive new year!

Ashwaganda and Brahmi These are both Ayurvedic herbs with a long history of use as brain enhancers. Both are memory boosters and enhance mental clarity and blood circulation, including to the brain. Both fight anxiety, stress, and depression, all of which can conspire to destroy your powers of concentration. A daily dose of Brahmi is between 100 and 200mg. With Ashwaganda, take a 500mg capsule 2-3 times a day. Korean/Panax Ginseng Not to be confused with Siberian or American ginseng. Korean ginseng is what’s known as an adaptogen, which means that it helps your body to adapt to environmental stressors. As with the other herbs listed here, ginseng has a long and reputable history of helping people deal with challenges in an optimal way, combating stress, stimulating the brain to learn more quickly, and balancing hormone levels and moods. Ginseng has to be taken for a while before its effects make themselves felt. It is best taken for six weeks and then stopped for two weeks before restarting. Take 20 drops of tincture, three times a day. Gingko Biloba The leaves of this medicinal herb have long been used as a memory booster and source of brain nutrients. Gingko biloba is an antioxidant that improves general brain functioning

An open letter to the family of an upcoming simcha:
Most of your friends are missing important pictures!
My name is David Friedman from Friedman’s Photography. I know that the fact above sounds shocking, but after speaking to thousands of people who have had pictures made at their simchas and seeing samples of thousands of simcha photos, I have seen that most simchas miss important pictures. We all know that missing pictures can wreak havoc in Shulem Bayis and ruin the relationship with family members of whom important pictures weren’t taken and hope that it does not happen to us. After doing extensive research to find out why such important pictures were missing in such a large percentage of weddings I have found that the main reason was that: Nobody took the time to find out what pictures were important to you until after the simcha when it was already too late, and just like everything in life no picture can be taken for granted if it was not discussed. Friedman’s Photography, which is the studio I founded Bezras Hashem, has been around doing quality photography since 1988. We have the expertise and knowledge which has been built up by serving the community for close to 30 years, and with this background I personally guarantee that any picture that you dream of will be taken at your simcha. We have used our experience to put together a formula to make sure that every person that hires us will receive 100% full coverage of all their dream pictures at any simcha and to offer our 100% Full coverage guarantee.
100% Full coverage guarantee We guarantee that any picture that you dream of will be taken at the simcha
How does it work? After you book Friedman’s photography for your simcha you will need to schedule our unique “Discuss Your Dreams” pre simcha consultation. We recommend that anyone you want to satisfy with pictures of your simcha should be at the consultation including: Chosen, Kallah, both sets of parents, or bar mitzvah boy & any sibling, grandparent, aunt etc. that you would want to satisfy with the pictures. At the “Discuss Your Dreams” consultation, you will meet with a photography expert- an expert in what is available in photography- where the photography expert will explain to you what is available based on the plan you chose and what is the most popular while listening to you with the goal of helping you to clarify your dreams, needs, and wants. The photography expert will help you clearly state what you want and that will save you a lot of headaches trying to figure it on your own. You will also be spared the aggravation of not getting the pictures that were important to you when the simcha is over.
At the simcha! All your dream photographs will be taken iy”h.
Call right away 718-43-PHOTO (718-437-4686) to book your simcha photography with full coverage. Thank You for your time,

What Do You Lose By Winning? By Rabbi Shemaya Landau
A
t the end of his Laws of Chanukah, Rambam brings an intriguing halachah regarding the relative importance of lighting Chanukah and Shabbos candles. He writes: “If a person has [sufficient means to buy what he needs] for Shabbos lights and Chanukah lights, or Shabbos lights and [wine for] Kiddush, Shabbos lights come first because of [the importance of] tranquility in the home. [This is obvious] because the Holy Name was erased in order to make peace between a man and his wife. How great is peace – the entire Torah was given only in order to make peace in the world, as it says: ‘All its ways are pleasant and all its paths are peaceful.” Ordinarily, erasing the Holy Name of Hashem is a terrible sin. When a sofer writes the Shem Hashem in a sefer Torah, tefillin, or mezuzah, he takes the utmost care to do so with precision, and there are scribes who immerse in the mikveh prior to each writing of Hashem’s Name. If, chas v’shalom, the Name is written incorrectly, it cannot be simply erased. Instead, a special method is used whereby the entire top layer of the parchment is removed with the wrongly-written Name intact, leaving a blank area below in which to insert the new word. And yet, there is one specific instance when the Torah tells us that the Name is to be written and then erased! How can this be? If a man suspects his wife of having
behaved unfaithfully, the woman is brought before the judges and given a test to either confirm or dispel his suspicions. The woman, referred to as a sotah, drinks water that was used to erase the name of Hashem, and if she is guilty, she dies a terrible death. If she is innocent, however, she will thrive as
The closer we get to Geulah, the greater become the forces opposing shalom in the world
a result of drinking the water. The question then presents itself: If the woman is guilty, why would she choose to drink the water and die in so awful a manner? She could simply confess her wrongdoing, do teshuvah,
32 www.NyBuzzMagazine.com I To advertise, call 718-513-9885
and continue her life. Although she would have to be divorced from her husband, she would be free to marry another man. Why would anyone prefer death over such an option? One answer is that the Torah is teaching us a lesson in human psychology – how hard it is to confess one’s wrongdoings in public. Yes, the sotah actually prefers to die a terrible death rather than admit to her sin. And by giving her the option of ending her life in this way, the Torah also shows us how far the Ribbono shel Olam is prepared to go, in order to spare even a terrible sinner from being shamed. How much more so should we forego our honor in order not to embarrass another human being! Furthermore, the Torah chooses to teach us this lesson davka with regard to a matter between husband and wife, the relationship where there is the most at stake and where feelings are the most easily wounded. Even in this most extreme case of lack of fidelity, the husband must know that his wife’s honor is to be protected. In his Igros Kodesh (volume ten, p.289), the Lubavitcher Rebbe ztz”l beautifully elucidates the underlying concept: “Even if you think that you are in the right, and even when this is actually so, you should go about achieving your goals in a pleasant and peaceful manner. Indeed, this is the obligation of a Jew… to act with forbearance.”

and fight over an issue, only to wonder afterward what all the fuss was about? The vast majority of our arguments are over inconsequential issues, and if we are honest, we will admit that “coming out on top” is really what we are aiming for, rather than being proved right. Yet even when one party is clearly in the right, is that sufficient reason to argue and destroy peace? At the end of the day, what really matters? “Gadol hashalom – great is peace,” says the Sifri, “as all blessings end with peace, as it says, ‘Hashem will lift up His face toward you and give you peace.” Now, as we approach the Yamim Noraim, we remind ourselves how vulnerable we are, how dependent we are on Hashem’s mercy at every moment. For His part, Hashem is just waiting for the opportunity to shower us with abundance, but nobody fills a cup without a base… Let’s make a greater effort to become vessels that can hold kedushah, vessels made whole by peace and unity. Starting at home, where it really counts.
And he concludes, “When you conduct yourself in this manner, you will meet with success in all your endeavors.” This is not to say that behaving in such a manner is easy. Chazal have told us that “no two people think alike,” and therefore there is bound to be friction in any relationship, even between otherwise identical twins. Nonetheless, we know that it is possible to overcome the natural tendency towards discord, and that “lefum tzaara, agra” – according to the struggle is the reward (Avos 5:23). Of all relationships, that between husband and wife is the most critical, and therefore the reward is greatest – the Shechinah, Hashem’s Presence, dwells in a home where husband and wife live together in tranquility. Where the Shechinah is, all good things are to be found – fine, upstanding children; parnassah; health… And the Satan is well aware of this, which is why so many of his efforts go towards frustrating shalom bayis. Divorce is a tragedy not only at the individual level, but also at a national
level. The Gemara (Gittin 90b) tells us that when a couple divorces, the Mizbeyach sheds tears. We know that the Mizbeyach, the altar in the Beis Hamikdash, is where atonement was granted and where prayers were recited for the peace of the entire Jewish people. If the Mizbeyach is crying, this tells us that divorce is a matter that affects the entire cosmos. Today, we see divorce rates rising to unheard-of proportions, and there is a reason for this. It is brought down in various sefarim that each of the millennia from creation until the world’s end is associated with the rectification of a different sefirah. This millennium, the sixth, is associated with the sixth sefirah which is yesod – relationships between people, especially between spouses. Furthermore, the Gemara (Yoma 9b) reveals that the reason behind the current galus is lack of shalom, and therefore, the closer we get to Geulah, the greater become the forces opposing shalom in the world, especially that between man and wife.

Hello Everyone, I usually tell my patients that I’m like a farmer. I can plant the seeds, add some fertilizer, and make sure there’s enough sunlight. But I can’t make the plant grow! The same is true in giving chiropractic adjustments. I can adjust the spine, tune the nervous system, and make sure you are getting proper nutrition. But I can’t heal you! Once your body is restored to as close to a perfect state as is possible, the power that created the body can heal the body. The potential for healing is increased. But the healing itself ALWAYS comes from our Creator. Listen to this story.
A
young woman came into my Monsey office last week, who was at the end of her pregnancy. In fact, she was two weeks overdue. The midwife said that the baby was already large, but they would give it some more time to see if she would be able to give birth naturally without having to induce her. I adjusted her spine making sure all the nerve channels were open. I then evaluated the uterine muscles by external palpation to make sure there were no spasms preventing a normal delivery. And finally, I stimulated precise acupuncture points to get the labor going.
She called me that same afternoon saying that her contractions “are becoming stronger”. I told her to come back for a second adjustment the same day to help it along. We repeated the same procedure that evening, and I got an email from her midwive Yetty the very next day wishing us all a Mazal Tov! She had her baby an hour and a half later. How many times have I seen this exact same scenario, that the doctors want to do caesarean, or induce prematurely? I can’t say that this procedure is 100% effective in all cases, but more times than not, we get excellent results. Many women have benefited from chiropractic care during pregnancy for situations like this as well as helping the baby turn from a breach position, in addition to basic pregnancy related back pains.
I have been a chiropractor for 33 years, and these Chiropractic Miracles continue to inspire me every single time. Why? Because this gives me a chance to witness the Miracle of Life! Until next time...... To Your Health,

Torah Is Not Easily Acquired
A
s a young , Harav Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor ztz”l was known as a weak student who found it hard to grasp new ideas, remember material, and concentrate on his learning. However, he did have one excellent quality: a burning desire to learn Torah, despite all his inborn impediments. And so it was that as a bachur, he began to dedicate himself whole-heartedly to learning, spurred on by his father’s declaration that if he continued to fail to show any promise, he would be apprenticed, effectively spelling the end to any dreams of a life of limmud haTorah. With great hasmadah, an iron will, and a desperate desire to succeed despite everything, the young Yitzchak Elchanan soared in learning beyond the wildest expectations of all who knew him – himself included. By the time he was twenty years of age, he had been appointed as rav of the town of Zoblin, and in 5624, after having served as rav in several other towns, he was chosen as rav in the great city of Kovno. There he established a yeshivah and continued to enlighten the eyes of Jews all over Russia, serving as an inspiration to all those who had come close to despairing over their own abilities to shteig in Torah.
Even in his later years, he was known for his great hasmadah, learning for long hours at a stretch, often for entire nights, banishing sleep from his eyelids and forging forwards, ever forwards in the great Yam haTalmud. On one occasion, he was questioned regarding his practice of sleeping little – for had
not the Rambam stated that a person should sleep for eight hours a night? “That is true,” admitted Harav Yitzchak Elchanan, adding “and I myself was very troubled by this question. In fact, I devoted entire nights to understanding the intent and meaning of this Rambam, without success…”

*************** One afternoon, the weather was particularly warm, and Harav Yitzchak Elchanan was sitting outside his home in the yard, trying to catch a little breeze to cool him as he learned Gemara with the traditional melody. A tregger (someone whose occupation was carrying loads from one place to another), passed by, and stopped to gaze at the beautiful sight of the town’s rav sitting engrossed in his learning, seemingly without a care in the world. The tregger’s heart was filled with longing, and a deep sigh emitted from his heart. “If only I knew how to learn,” he cried out loud. “Then I too could sit peacefully in my little yard, swaying over a sefer – instead of which, just look at me! Sweat pouring down my face, my clothes sticking to me under this sweltering sun as I run to and fro, to this customer and that one, hauling burdens meant more for horses than for men. And at the end of the day, what do I have to show for all my efforts? Just a piece of dark bread with something to brighten it up, and the pinched faces of my children to stare at me. Oyy – such a bitter lot is mine.” Harav Yitzchak Elchanan listened intently to the tregger’s

MAGAZINE
outburst and the words pierced his soul. Nonetheless, he knew that matters were far from being as simple as the tregger believed – didn’t he himself know that from his very own experience? He stood up and went over to where the man was standing, having temporarily removed the yoke from his shoulders, and smiled at him affectionately. “Tell me, Reb Yid,” he addressed him, “do you really think it is such a simple matter to sit and learn all day?” The tregger looked up in surprise and awe. The great rav was speaking to him! “Well, yes – it does indeed seem a very pleasant way of life,” he replied. “Yes, yes – it truly is a beautiful way of life,” Harav Yitzchak Elchanan hurried to confirm. “And yet, it does say that ‘kol hascholos kashos’ – all beginnings are difficult. And in truth, our mitzvah is yegias haTorah – to be struggling in learning. It is not always so easy to dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to learning, banishing all distractions, of which there are plenty.” The tregger was not one to be so easily convinced. “If the Rav will permit me to disagree,” he began respectfully, “but just look at me! The sun is still high in the sky and I have so many hours of work ahead of me – and today is so hot! And what’s more, I am no longer as young as I once was, and although I really need to increase my earnings, the opposite is happening, as I don’t have the strength I once had, so I can’t take on as many customers... How can one compare a person who sits peacefully

with a sefer, to one who has to run all over town like a pack donkey in order to earn his daily crust of bread?” Harav Yitzchak Elchanan patted the man affectionately on the back. “Please, come inside for a moment and refresh yourself with a cool glass of water,” he invited. “And also, if you don’t mind, would you tell me how much you earn each day?” The tregger sat down gratefully and accepted the drink. “Just twenty zehuvim,” he grumbled. “In the old days, I earned as much as thirty, but now,” he sighed, “that’s the way it is.” “In that case,” Harav Yitzchak Elchanan said, “I have a proposition for you. I will give you twenty zehuvim each day, and you will sit at home, peacefully, as you say, contentedly and happily, and say Tehillim. That is also a very choshuve occupation for one who cannot learn Gemara – you need not feel inferior.” The tregger looked up in surprise. “That is a very interesting plan,” he admitted. “You know, I had never thought of such a thing – I would love to give it a try.” And so it was, that the next morning, the tregger returned from shul and told his bemused wife that from now on, he had a new occupation – he had become a Tehillimzogger. And before she had a chance to open her mouth and protest that there was no income from such an occupation, however worthy it might be, he explained that the rav of the town, Harav Yitzchak Elchanan, had guaranteed him his twenty zehuvim, if he kept to his part of the deal. “And I will be just like the rav – on my own level,” he told her excitedly. “The rav told me that it is nothing to be ashamed of, that I cannot learn Gemara as he does.
This is also a very choshuve thing to be doing.” And then he settled himself at the table with his Tehillim in hand, and began to sway over the yellowed pages, singing the words to himself and drifting into a sweet state of peaceful relaxation, such as he hardly recalled ever having experienced. The hours passed blissfully, engrossed as he was in his recitation, barely aware of his surroundings, himself surprised at his ability to sit in one place for so long. He took just a half hour from his recital to eat the midday meal, as he was accustomed, with his wife, and then returned to his perch, to continue until the sun began to dip towards the horizon and it was time to head to shul for Minchah. At the end of the day, he felt a sense of great purpose and achievement, as well as enhanced self-esteem, for now he too numbered among those who dedicated all their waking hours to Torah. How fortunate he was! The next morning, he rose bright and early to daven with his regular minyan, and then returned home to settle himself comfortably with his Tehillim. As he watched his oncefellow workers hurrying away to their chores, he smiled with satisfaction, and pitied them for their lot. Baruch Hashem, he had finally extricated himself from that fate! The hours passed pleasantly at first, but by the end of the third hour, he was glancing a little impatiently out of the window, wondering when the sun would climb to its peak and his wife would serve him his meal. Today, he lingered a little longer over his potatoes and beans, and his wife looked up at him in surprise.

“Don’t you have to get back to ‘work’ yet?” she chided him gently. “Hmm – yes, I suppose so,” he replied thoughtfully, pushing away his empty plate and getting to his feet. Suddenly the fresh air beyond the window seemed more enticing than usual, and his legs seemed to be itching to tread the grassy paths between the houses, even though his shoulders were certainly still glad not to be carrying their cumbersome yoke. As he resumed his Tehillim-zoggen, he cast longing glances out of the window, and soon found his thoughts wandering all over, far beyond the holy words his mouth was uttering. When would it be time for Minchah already? Perhaps he would go a little earlier than usual today, and sit in shul and ready his thoughts for prayer for a few minutes? Deep in his heart, he knew what was happening, and though he was reluctant to admit it, it was clear that he could not carry on for much longer in this manner. “I don’t know what to do,” he confided in a friend after Maariv. “It all seemed so idyllic at first…” The friend smiled. “Why don’t you go back to the rav, and tell him about your dilemma?” he suggested, and the former tregger agreed that this was what he would do, and without delay. Instead of making his way home to bed, he headed for the rav’s home, and knocked, somewhat nervously, at the door. On the one hand, he felt something of a failure – but nonetheless, he longed to free himself of the yoke he had taken on for a meager two days – was that really all he had managed? He sighed despondently. Maybe Hashem just wanted him to remain a humble tregger after all, and to be happy with his lot. Harav Yitzchak Elchanan opened the door and warmly welcomed his guest. As he listened to the tregger’s story, he nodded sympathetically. “Do not feel so downhearted,” he comforted him. “Now you have been granted a new perspective. I too experienced great difficulty during the first years of dedicating myself to Torah, and many a time I would say
kapitel after kapitel of Tehillim, begging the Eibeshter to open my eyes that I might understand a particular passage in Gemara. Nobody has an easy lot in life…” *************** Another simple villager lived in the same town as the tregger – but this villager had inherited great wealth and land holdings, and found himself in a very enviable position, except in the one aspect that he was and remained a total am ha’aretz, unlearned and unable to recognize greatness in learning. This villager had several sons and an only daughter, and when this daughter became of marriageable age, he resolved that with the advantage of his relatively great wealth, he would obtain for her the finest bachur that money could buy. Although he was an ignoramus, there was one thing he did know, and that was that the highest accolade for a talmid chacham was to be baki b’Shas – to be fluent in all of Gemara. And so, with this in mind, he saddled his horse and set off for the local yeshivah, to begin his quest for the perfect chassan for his daughter. “The very best,” he emphasized to the rosh yeshivah, who gave him a warm welcome. “I am ready to provide him with kest, full support, for my entire lifetime, as well as a handsome dowry – in short, everything he needs. He will have no excuse for idling away his time!” The rosh yeshivah was delighted. One of his beloved bachurim would have an amazing opportunity! And although ideally one should seek a wife who is the daughter of a talmid chacham, in that day and age, that usually meant a life of great poverty and deprivation, in addition to having to leave the world of learning almost immediately after marriage, in order to earn a living. And surely the fact that this simple villager desired a choshuve son-in-law was a sign that he at least appreciated Torah… Whispering excitedly to his guest, the rosh yeshivah pointed to the far
44 www.NyBuzzMagazine.com I To advertise, call 718-513-9885
corner of the beis medrash, indicating a bachur hunched over his sefer. “That is Mendel, one of my top bachurim. He is fluent in the entire Shas, just as you specified. Truly a prize – you will never regret taking him.” The villager followed the rosh yeshivah’s gaze and examined the bachur from the distance. He did not like what he saw, and he did not hesitate in saying so. “Such a scrawny bachur! So thin and weak-looking! It doesn’t look like he knows how to eat at all, so what would he gain from my kest? No – that is certainly not what I had in mind. Don’t you have anyone better to show me?” The rosh yeshivah was astonished, and then stifled a smile. An am ha’aretz despite his wealth – he had a better idea for this simple man. “I’m so sorry – I should have realized. Here – look over there, that is Yankel, another of our top bachurim. As you will notice, he is a tall, broadshouldered bachur, and he will truly appreciate the good food you would like to give him. I’m sure you will be happy with him.” The villager seemed satisfied. “Yes, he looks more like what I was looking for.” The shidduch proceeded smoothly, and the chasunah took place amid great rejoicing. Everything seemed in order, except for one fact the rosh yeshivah had omitted to reveal, for his own good reasons: the chassan was not in fact baki in the entire Shas, but only in a few masechtas... But given that the father-in-law was hardly likely to notice this, or even appreciate its full significance, the rosh yeshivah was convinced that he had taken the correct course of action. Most probably, this fact would indeed have gone undetected, especially as the villager was extremely happy with his new son-inlaw, who had fine middos despite his relative lack of scholarship. However, when the father-in-law kept boasting of his fine catch, the jealousy of his friends was aroused, and they decided to try and find some defect in the new chassan, some way of consoling

themselves that they had not merited such a fine catch. Unfortunately for the villager, it did not take too long for them to discover that the chassan was not all that had been claimed… The villager was devastated. He had been tricked! But what could he do now? His daughter was happy with her husband, and refused to consider sending him away. Confused and disappointed, the villager made his way to the home of the town’s rav, Harav Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, and laid out his grievances. The rav was unfazed, and calmly asked his gabbai to summon the chassan. When he arrived, he asked him if he was willing to undertake to learn all of Mishnah within a few years, and the chassan agreed. Then, turning to the fatherin-law, Harav Yitzchak Elchanan reassured him that within a few years

time, his son-in-law would indeed be a baki b’Shas, and he could still hold
Such a scrawny bachur! So thin and weak-looking! It doesn’t look like he knows how to eat at all
and neighbors. But the villager was adamant: He had ordered a bachur baki b’Shas and he wanted one – guaranteed! The rav smiled at him. “You would like a guarantee? No problem! I myself will be the guarantor that your fine son-in-law will indeed become baki b’Shas.” The villager sighed with relief. “Thank you so much! I knew that there had to be a solution!” And he and his chassan departed happily. A talmid of Harav Yitzchak Elchanan, who had been present during the exchange, then turned to the rav with a question: How was it possible to guarantee such a thing? “It is really no problem at all,” Harav Yitzchak Elchanan explained. “Just as a debtor who finds himself unable to repay his creditor turns to his guarantor to come up with the sum required, so too will I, if necessary, supply the ‘goods’…”

NUTRITION
SUGAR IS NOT ALWAYS SWEET By R. Margalit
W
hat’s dark, viscous, and comes from deep under the ground? No, it’s no crude oil – “molasses” is the right answer. Molasses, just like table sugar, comes from sugar cane. The roots of this plant extend extremely deep under the soil, usually around 15 feet down but sometimes as deep as 19 feet. This means that the plant bypasses depleted topsoil and instead feeds off nutrient-dense soil from much further down. Of course, molasses doesn’t look as pretty as granulated sugar, and for many years, it was not even considered to be suitable for human consumption. Anyone looking to buy it had to head to an animal feed store and pretend that it was for his livestock. During other periods, molasses was “poor man’s sugar” as opposed to the sparkling white substance that graced the rich man’s

table. Just as other foods once seen as superior have been recently unmasked as damaging to health, so too has sugar been painted as a villain in recent years, for reasons known to most of us. What many people don’t know, however, is that not only does sugar not add any nutritional value to our diet, it can actually leech the nutrients out of the foods we eat. Minerals, especially, are flushed out of the body when sugar is consumed in excess. Absorption of protein, too, is hindered. (As an aside, this is the basis of one theory relating to pinworm infestation: that the body becomes a host not because of excess sugar consumption itself, but because that excess depletes the body of proteins needed to keep parasites at bay.) Molasses, on the other hand, is a rich source of nutrients. Furthermore, it has a low glycemic index, meaning that its glucose

and carbohydrates are metabolized slowly, necessitating less insulin production and stabilizing blood sugar levels. There seems to be no link between molasses and risk of developing diabetes – if anything, the opposite is true. One doesn’t even need to eat a large quantity of molasses in order to reap the benefits. Just two teaspoons of the dark, syrupy liquid provide a significant amount of essential vitamins and minerals, and set you back only 32 calories! Manganese is a trace mineral that protects against damage from free radicals in the body. It also enhances the body’s production of energy from protein and carbohydrates and helps to synthesize fatty acids that the nervous system needs for optimum functioning.

iron utilization, development of bone and connective tissue, and production of the skin and hair pigment melanin. Numerous health problems can develop when copper intake is inadequate, including iron deficiency anemia, ruptured blood vessels, osteoporosis, joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, brain disturbances, elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduced HDL (good) cholesterol levels, irregular heartbeat, and increased susceptibility to infections. Molasses is also commonly used as a natural iron supplement, replacing artificial iron that often causes constipation and other digestive disturbances. Compared with red meat, molasses gives more iron for less calories, and furthermore, is fat-free. It boosts iron levels without unpleasant side effects, enhancing energy, providing relief from rheumatoid arthritis, and rejuvenating skin and hair. Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of calcium. Calcium, one of the most important minerals in the body, is involved in a variety of physiological activities essential to life, including the ability of the heart and other muscles to contract, blood clotting, the conduction of nerve impulses to and from the brain, regulation of enzyme activity, and cell membrane function. Calcium is needed to form and maintain strong bones and teeth during youth and adolescence, and to help prevent the loss of bone that can occur during menopause and as a result of rheumatoid arthritis. Calcium binds to and removes toxins from the colon, thus reducing the risk of colon cancer, and because it is involved in nerve conduction, may help prevent migraine attacks. Like calcium, potassium plays an important role in muscle contraction and nerve transmission. It is also involved in maintaining the body’s proper electrolyte and acid-base (pH) balance. When potassium levels drop too low, muscles weaken

and a person tires more easily, as potassium deficiency causes a decrease in glycogen (the fuel used by exercising muscles) storage. Magnesium is also necessary for healthy bones and energy production. About two-thirds of the magnesium in the human body is found in our bones. Some helps
Just two teaspoons provide a significant amount of vitamins and minerals give bones their physical structure, while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to draw upon as needed. Magnesium balances the effect of calcium in the body, preventing calcium from rushing into nerve cells and activating them, keeping the nerves and connected blood vessels and muscles relaxed. If our diet provides us with too little magnesium, calcium can gain free entry, and the nerve cell can become overactivated, sending too many messages and causing excessive contraction. Insufficient magnesium can also contribute to high blood pressure, muscle spasms (including spasms of the heart muscle or the spasms of the airways symptomatic of asthma), and migraine headaches, as well as muscle cramps, tension, and fatigue.
Not All Molasses Are Created Equal All of the above actually applies only to one specific type of molasses: the unsulfured blackstrap kind. Often, young sugar cane is harvested, in which case sulfur dioxide is added to the molasses produced as a preservative. When the mature plant is used, however, there is no need for a preservative and this unhealthy chemical compound is not added. Unopened, molasses can be kept in a tightly sealed container either in the refrigerator or in a cool dry area for up to a year. After opening, it should preferably be used within six months.
How Is Molasses Made? The first step is harvesting the sugar cane plant, preferably when the plant is fully grown. The leaves are stripped off, and then the juice is extracted from the canes, usually by crushing or mashing. Then, the juice is boiled, in order to concentrate it and promote the crystallization of sugar, which is then removed. The remaining “juice” is called “mild molasses” or the first molasses. This has the highest sugar content of all molasses, as relatively little sucrose has been extracted. This remaining juice is then boiled once again, and more crystallized sucrose is removed. The more concentrated juice now left behind is called “dark molasses” or the second molasses. It is sweet but with a bitter tinge to its taste. The third boiling and extraction results in “blackstrap molasses.” It is not as sweet as dark molasses and has a bitter-tart taste which takes a bit of getting used to. But it is undoubtedly the healthiest of all the three types. Make sure to check that it is unsulfured. Now the only question left is: Can I use molasses for my honey cake? Well, I haven’t tried yet, but…

PERSPECTIVES – THE SECOND LOOK
Rosh Hashanah What’s New? “Hamelech…”
For many of us, this is the highlight of Rosh Hashanah davening. After all, how many times do we proclaim Hashem as king on a regular day? Oh, only about a hundred… Every brachah we make includes the phrase “melech ha’olam,” and even the dramatic “Hamelech” is a regular feature in Shacharis on Shabbos, right after Nishmas. What makes Rosh Hashanah different? *************** Chazal teach us that Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of the creation of the world, or rather, of the creation of man, the pinnacle of creation. However, we refer to Hashem as being “mechadesh kol yom tamid ma’aseh bereishis” – renewing creation every single day. Is there a difference between this renewal and the renewal that takes place only once a year? Answering this question, the Ari Hakadosh writes that Rosh Hashanah is literally a reversion to the situation that prevailed towards the end of the
first week of the world, right before Adam and Chava were divided into two from one body. The Zohar Hakadosh explains that Rosh Hashanah is a time of din, of great judgment, when the Ribbono shel Olam weighs the very existence of the universe. Should creation be renewed for another year, or should everything revert to tohu v’vohu – total oblivion? It all depends on us. Just as the original creation depended on the Jewish People’s future acceptance of Torah and ol malchus Shamayim (the yoke of Heaven), so too does the renewal of the world on Rosh Hashanah hinge on our decision to accept Hashem’s kingship over us. But if so, then why do we so intently focus on teshuvah in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah? What do our past sins have to do with accepting Hashem as King in the future? In the business world, there is a concept known as “rising to the level of one’s incompetency.” In general, a person starts out on the bottom rung of a company, and works his way up the ranks, receiving promotion after promotion. Each time he reaches a new level, he has to figure out how to deal
56 www.NyBuzzMagazine.com I To advertise, call 718-513-9885
with new responsibilities. Perhaps he became a manager, and will have to learn how to lead a team of workers. Perhaps he is now expected to work longer hours, or to travel to a more distant office every day. Eventually, however, he will reach a point where he is forced to say, “Enough. I can’t deal with this any more.” Maybe he draws the line at working 70-hour weeks, or maybe he can’t take the long commute any more. But he won’t know that he reached the point of “incompetency” until he reaches it. There is no concept of drawing imaginary lines in the sand and saying lechatchilah that “I can never be a manager. I’m simply not cut out for it.” How can he know, until he tries? This is an appropriate analogy for the way in which we should approach avodas Hashem. Too often, we hear people resigning themselves to the way they are: “That’s just me – I have a short fuse,” or “I could never learn for more than an hour a day,” or “I know that some people don’t think that I’m really within the bounds of tznius, but this is as far as I can go.” How can they be so sure until they try? But wait, some of you will be

and mitzvos, but when we want to silence the voices of our accusers and stop them from recounting our misdeeds, we have no voice. This is no time for rationalizations, intellectual excuses, or “logical” explanations regarding why we slipped up in the past. Those are all ego-based, and we have to move beyond ego. How do we accomplish this? With the shofar. The shofar brings us to “omek halev” – the depths of our hearts – the place where we are connected to Hashem absolutely. It takes us back to the realization that all the trappings of this world are nothing but an illusion, and reminds us that all we want, and need, is to be in our Father’s loving embrace. When the Satan hears the voice of the shofar, he is terrified, thinking that the time has come to shecht him – and in truth, this is exactly what will happen when all of us return to Hashem in purity. Do we tremble when we hear the shofar? Yes, we should tremble, but at the same time we should rejoice, at the fresh opportunity we are being given to crown Hashem King over us and submit to His rule. The Yamim Noraim are truly days of awe, and yet, Chazal tell us that on these days, the Ribbono shel Olam is so close to us, and that this is the ideal time to seek Him out and approach Him. “Atem nitzavim hayom kulchem lifnei Hashem Elokeichem… v’atem hadveikim b’Hashem Elokeichem chayim kulchem hayom.” Today, on Rosh Hashanah, we stand before Hashem, with nothing separating us from Him. The books are open before us – how can we not tremble? But who writes in those books? Only us, ourselves. If we choose to write ourselves into the sefer of the tzaddikim, then we will be granted life, to serve Hashem, to be connected to Him at every possible moment. Why would we settle for anything less?
protesting. Maybe they did try, and didn’t succeed. Does that mean that they can give up? The answer is, of course, no. Accepting Hashem’s malchus means one crucial thing: That everything is from Him, including the ability to serve Him. If we struggle to serve Hashem with our own abilities, we are sure to fall short. What are we? Divorced from the strength we gain from being connected to Hashem, we are nothing more than empty husks, bodies that begin to rot the moment the neshamah leaves. However, when we recognize that we are nothing without Hashem’s presence in our lives, everything becomes possible. “Pischu li pesach k’chudo shel machat, v’ani eftach lachem k’pischo shel ulam.” When we take the first step, which is nothing more (or less) than feeling the pain of the abyss in our lives without Hashem’s constant presence, suddenly things start to happen that we never imagined possible. And when we take that first step, recognizing that we cannot serve Hashem without His help, then our teshuvah will surely be accepted, for we know that we have to constantly implore Hashem to keep us far away from sin. If we rely on our own efforts and will-power, then we know what happens. We already saw what happens, far too many times. “Hashem oheiv mishpat,” says the holy Zohar. The Ribbono shel Olam loves justice. Therefore, one (long) day in the year is set aside for din, strict judgment, without any mercy to mitigate it. This is Rosh Hashanah, when all the prosecuting angels are given permission to come and incite against the Jewish People and recount our sins. How can we not tremble? But if we cling to Hashem and beg to be protected, how can He refuse us? How do we cling to Hashem? We might think: with our tefillos. But the Gemara states otherwise: “Imru lefanai malchiyos, k’dei shetamlichuni aleichem; imru lefanai zichronos, k’dei sheta’aleh zichroneichem lefanai. U’bemah? B’shofar.”
This is hard to understand. We are to “say” malchiyos and zichronos, and the Gemara asks, “with what?” Of course, with our mouths! How else

Accepting Hashem’s malchus means one crucial thing: That everything is from Him, including the ability to serve Him does a person speak? But that is not the answer. The Gemara tells us that our “speech” on Rosh Hashanah is accomplished with the shofar. Why is this so? One explanation is found in the Zohar, which relates that at the time of din, Rivkah (the Shechinah) calls to Yaakov, her son, to bring mata’amim (delicacies) – the Torah and mitzvos of Klal Yisrael, “Vehakol kol Yaakov” – this is the shofar. We come before Hashem with the evidence of our devotion to Him, carrying our Torah

Beet and Apple Soup • 8 medium beets, peeled and chopped • 6 cups chicken broth • 1 small onion, chopped • 1 small potato, peeled &
chopped • 1 Granny Smith apple, chopped • 2 tablespoons sherry • Salt and pepper to taste
The bright red color of this soup makes it particularly festive and appealing.
Garnish: [Parve] Tofutti sour cream, Roasted beets, diced In a large Dutch oven, combine beets, broth, onion, potato and apple. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly. Using a hand immersion blender, purée mixture. Stir in sherry and salt and pepper. Gently reheat. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a few roasted beets, if desired.
Mixed Greens with Grapefruit & Pomegranate Salad Serves 4. This salad doubles easily. The dressing is great, sweet and citrusy. I serve it all winter long. • 4 cups mixed greens • 1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented; squeeze remaining membrane and save juice for dressing • 1/2 cup sliced red onion • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard • 1 tablespoon honey • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt • 1/2 teaspoon pepper Put greens, grapefruit segments, onion, and pomegranate seeds in a bowl. Mix grapefruit juice, mustard, honey, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Pour as much dressing as desired over salad and toss gently to combine.
Spicy Moroccan Salmon • 8 tablespoons olive oil • 4 tablespoons flour • 4 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets (skin and bones removed) • 1 teaspoon kosher salt • ½ teaspoon pepper • 3 heaping tablespoons minced fresh garlic • 1 serrano chili, chopped • 1 jalapeno, chopped • 2 teaspoons paprika • 2 teaspoons cumin
Serves 6-8
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon • 2 tablespoons tomato paste • ¼ cup water • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh is better but not absolutely necessary) • 2 teaspoons sugar • • Garnish: Chopped fresh cilantro
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Shake off excess. Add to skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side – or until golden. Remove to a plate covered with paper towels. In a food processor, purée garlic, chilies, paprika, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons oil. Heat remaining 4 tablespoons oil in skillet over low heat. Add garlic-chili mixture. Cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Gently pour in tomato paste and water. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 30 more seconds. Stir in lemon juice and sugar. Return salmon to pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover pan, reduce heat and simmer until is cooked through – about 12 minutes (I like my fish to be really cooked!). Remove from heat. Serve warm or a room temperature, topped with the sauce and sprinkled with some fresh cilantro, if desired.
