DONT THROW OUT YOUR CHAMETZ

I

t began a few days before pesach six years ago. As I made my way to work, a sanitation worker and I nearly collided on the sidewalk as he called out to his co-worker, who was maneuvering their vehicle. Winded and caught off guard, he yelled at me over the din, What’s up with all the food the Jews are throwing away? Good food, too!” His concern, obviously, wasn’t baal tashchis but the increase in refuse he was being forced to haul. Even though he had spoken out of frustration, his question was still a good one, and I had wondered about it myself. Nothing in life is coincidental. I took his (His) message to heart, and that year I started a gemach for chametz. Before Pesach every year, families discard chametz as they clean their home getting ready for the holiday. Sometimes the food goes to the hired help. More often, though, it winds up wasted. It is a shame because the groceries -- many nonperishable -- could just as easily have been given after Pesach to families that are struggling financially. During the first two years of the gemach, the response to my offer to collect, sell, and then distribute the chametz after Pesach at no charge to

anyone was modest. With Hamodia’s help -- first via a classified and the following year in a feature -- the amount distributed jumped. I realized, however, that even those 3,100 pounds is only a small portion of the food being discarded. Or, put more bluntly, outright wasted. So if your minhag is to have no chametz in your house at all during Pesach, please don’t throw it out on the street. Instead, please consider donating that food to my chametz gemach. Once you give it to me, it becomes my responsibil-ity to sell it halachically and then to distribute it after Pesach. Those who receive it -- including kollel yungerleit and others struggling to get by -- need it and definitely appreciate it. Believe me, you will be easing their financial burden. I am hoping that you’ll consider a food drop-off as part of your Pesach cleaning. I am also accepting donations to purchase supplies or extra food. Last year, 2015, we collected and distributed almost 3,900 pounds of food. This year, we want to break the 4,000 pound mark. Yes, that’s right, we want to help people with two tons of food. Please help.

Location: 1101 East 3rd Street (I/J). 718.377.6361 yitzchak@relkin.com. Please put “Chametz Gemach” in the subject line. Donations accepted till the day of b’dikas chametz.

“Yosef, The Musical” Delivers Big-time

Y

esterday, I had the joy and privilege of seeing “Yosef, The Musical,” at the Master Theater (previously The Millennium Theater) in Brighton Beach. What an amazing experience! This two-and-a-half-hour production has everything: upbeat music, fantastic singing and dancing, uproarious comedy, and heartfelt drama. The writers and producers of this unique musical have definitely succeeded in their goal of bringing a Kosher Broadway-caliber musical show to Brooklyn. The show begins in Egypt, during the seventeen years that Yaakov and his family lived in Egypt, before Yaakov died. Yaakov wants his grandsons to learn that in order for their family and the Children of Israel to survive, they would have to “stand as one.” He then tells them the story of their fathers, twelve brothers who had to put aside their differences in order to remain a family. The theme of family unity continues throughout the play. The production was conceived by writer and producer, Zvika Bornstein, who wanted to produce a musical based on the story of Yosef and his brothers, that could be enjoyed by the entire Jewish community. Israeli superstar Gad Elbaz, joined Bornstein to create the music for the show. The music is contemporary, catchy and whimsical. You can see the audience actually dancing in their seats. Stuart Rappaport,

who plays Yaakov in the production, collaborated with Mr. Bornstein to help write the book and lyrics. Mr. Bornstein also wrote the music for three of the very many memorable songs. The writers treat Yaakov, Yosef, and the brothers with

reverence and sensitivity, while using other characters, such as the Ishmaelites, Potifar, Pharaoh, the butler and the baker for comic relief. Touted by theatre goers as a masterpiece, “ I laughed, I cried, riveting edge of seat moments, even though I knew the ending”; “ a play that connected the whole story and message in my mind, I can now think of the story in a different way”. The money raised during the show’s three performance run will benefit the children and families of Torah L’Kulanu, a Jewish organization located in the 5 Towns that provides inclusion, religious and educational areas to individuals and families with special needs.

Top10 Pesach

Planning Tips by Duby Litvin

How to make your Passover preparations smoother and less stressful.

P

esach. For some, this holiday conjures an image of anxiety, terror, and cold sweats. There is so much to do! It doesn’t have to be this way! Hopefully some of my tips can help make your Pesach preparations smoother and for you to enjoy the holiday as opposed to feeling overwhelmed by it. Here are my top 10 tips to help you get yourself more organized. 50

Don’t Wing It, Plan It

Pesach Cleaning vs. Spring Cleaning

Pesach is never “early” or “late.” It is always the 15th of Nissan, exactly 4 weeks after Purim. Planning is imperative. Think of your house as your corporation and you are its CEO. You are in charge. Just like a big company would plan out their functions, so too you want to work on “Project Pesach.” When you have a plan in place, things will go much smoother.

Imagine sitting down to a beautiful Seder – the house is sparkling clean, the chandeliers are glistening, the windows are sparkling… and you’re falling asleep. Chandeliers and windows, while lovely to have them sparkle and shine, are not imperative to Pesach cleaning. We love a perfectly clean house for Yom Tov, but they are not a priority.

2.

Delegate As the CEO, it’s your job to delegate all the tasks with you being the supervisor. The more you delegate the better off you will be. From hiring a cleaning lady, sending a spouse or teenager on shopping trips, even if you think the job is small and easy, the less on your plate the better. How to Pesach Clean with Little Kids: Ages 5 and Under: Ship them out!!!! Hire a babysitter, volunteer your spouse and send them off to the playground / zoo / library / pizza shop. While they are out this is when you work on the playroom / play areas and kid bedrooms. Starting Rosh Chodesh Nissan have only Kosher L’pesach snacks in the house. (Chips, macaroons, lady fingers etc). Ages 6 and Over: Balaboostas in Training: Start giving them small jobs. Give them a spray bottle and a rag and have them wipe down various toys / surfaces. Keep your expectations low, and only give them jobs that it’s ok if it’s not done 100% to satisfaction. In the kitchen these little soldiers can do peeling, juicing, cracking nuts or other introductory jobs, similar to a Sous Chef. Know what kind of job your child can or cannot handle, and let them feel important too! (Consult my book for more suggestions on cleaning with small children)

MAGAZINE

Spread out your Pesach shopping so you are not attacked with a big bill all in one week.

Pesach cleaning is any place that there’s a good chance that food was brought in. If you know there was NO food brought there, then it doesn’t have to be cleaned. Drapes, window treatments, chandeliers, do not have to be cleaned, and their dusting and cleaning can be pushed off if needed.

4.

Poor Man’s Bread or Bread that Makes Us Poor? Pesach is an expensive holiday. Matzah is far from cheap, cases of wine to be bought, fruits and vegetables… the list goes on and on. For starters, Matzah does NOT have to be the mainstay of your meal. You need Matzah for the Sedarim and for Hamotzei and that’s all. Fruits and vegetables that are in season are much cheaper. Spread out your Pesach shopping so you are not attacked with a big bill all in one week. You can purchase nonperishable items and store them, leaving the perishables for the week of Pesach. Buying a kosher l’Pesach jar of applesauce will be much more expensive than simmering a pot of apples and making your own. Don’t just browse the aisles in the grocery store. Create your menu, make your shopping list and stick to it! Cross reference your lists from the previous Pesach so you know how much you really need and use. Keep in mind: “Is this something I really need, or is this a luxury item?” This will help curb any impulse buys. Join together with a family member

or neighbor and split cases of food items. You will save on the price and still have as many as you need.

5.

Don’t Buy an Entire Kitchen Your First Year There is a big difference between what you NEED for Pesach and what you WANT. Build up your Passvoer kitchen appliances slowly. Start with just the few crucial items the first year and each year buy a few more things.

6.

Your Best Friend Is Your List From a Cleaning List to a detailed Shopping Lists, from Last Minute Reminders to Menus, lists will save your life. Don’t let the mental to-do

NyBuzzMagazine.com I To advertise, call 718-513-9885

51


list overwhelm you - get it all down on paper and rest assured that nothing will be forgotten. Keep everything in a folder or a binder, and you will feel a lot more together in no time.

7.

Pesach Doesn’t Have to Be Pinterest Worthy: Simplify While half the world believes that everything has to be over the top thanks to Pinterest, the other half of the world is recognizing the wonder and ease of simplifying. I’m not saying you shouldn’t plan a new and fancy dish here and there or come up with a cool centerpiece. The fact remains that Pesach doesn’t have to be gourmet. Allow the concept of “simplify” to permeate other aspects of the holiday as well. You can cook everything in advance and freeze, or spread out the cooking over Yom Tov. Some people will prep their dishes and freeze them raw, so they’re able to pull things out before the meal and cook it fresh. Figure out a system that works for you so you feel less stressed.

8.

Leave the Bitterness to the Marror (Feeling Resentful) My next two tips are similar, like two sides of a coin. They are about how our attitude and perspective can shape our entire Yom Tov experience. Dr. Wayne Dyer has a popular quote: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” The last thing we want is to have a chip on our shoulder when it comes to our traditions. Our family, especially our children WILL pick up on the resentment and negativity. They will come to see the holiday as a drag, something we hate instead of love and anticipate. If you do feel resentful about the amount of work that goes into Yom Tov preparations, then something needs to change ASAP.

52

There isn’t a magical pill that will help you suddenly see Yom Tov as a breeze,

things that make Pesach special. When there is fun, there is joy. Here are some ideas to get you in the mood: Putting music on when cleaning makes it into a Dusting Dance Party Giving out prizes (to yourself as well) for accomplishing specific tasks Slurpee runs at the end of the day Special new toy for the holiday Write down funny memories that happened over Yom Tov Create photo contests with friends or family members: “Funniest items found during Pesach Cleaning.” You can make any job you’re doing into a game. You just need a little creativity. Think of yourself as a camp counselor cheering on her bunk!

10.

There isn’t a magical pill that will help you suddenly see Yom Tov as a breeze, but perhaps a small first step is to begin to shift your thinking from “yet another thing I have to do” to a place of “we have an opportunity here.” The goal isn’t the perfect gourmet meals, or how spotless the house is. Let’s try and remember what’s really important about Passvoer: the Seders with your family and loved ones, enjoying this precious time together.

9.

Creating Fun while Creating Traditions: Once you’ve removed any feelings of resentment and negativity about the holiday, it’s now time to infuse your Yom Tov with fun! My mother in law makes a Pesach Orange Soup. She’s been making it for years. It’s just not Pesach without this soup. All the married children make this soup now because it’s a tradition. You may think, who cares, it’s just soup … or it’s just your Bubby’s potato kugel recipe, or the annual Chol Hamoed trip to the park. Au contraire! These are exactly the

When All is Done, Get It In Writing Pesach is over and the last thing you want to do is look at one more list, let alone go through it. But this is so crucial! When Pesach ends, while the dishes are being washed and put away, take out your shopping lists and menus and write everything down. Write down what worked, what didn’t work. If you ordered too much Matzah or not enough. This can and will potentially save you lots of money because you’ll know how much your family really needs for Yom Tov. Write down that the trip to the zoo didn’t work or the trip to the museum did work. Write down that new trick you came up with to help the kids enjoy the Seder. Write down that your washing cup cracked and you will need a new one for next year. Imagine pulling out your Pesach binder and seeing all this information ready for you from last year. Your plans will be so much easier and smoother when half the mental work is already completed. Good Luck, Happy Cleaning and a Kosher & Frelichen Pesach!

The six tastes of food

guidelines for perfect nutrition Gitta Bixenspanner n.d.

T

aste! We all attracted to food by its taste and each one of us favors different flavors! Most of us love sweet foods, cakes, and cookies or chocolate to name just a few, while many people care for salty! Which kid doesn’t like chips? How about those that savor spicy BBQ chips. Have you ever thought about why various foods taste different? It is really quite amazing. Your tongue and the roof of your mouth are covered with thousands of tiny taste buds. When you eat something, the saliva in your mouth helps break down your food. This causes the receptor cells located in your tastes buds to send messages through sensory nerves to your brain. Your brain then sends you a message to describe to you what flavors you are tasting.

58

Taste buds probably play the most important part in helping you enjoy the many flavors of food. Your taste buds can recognize six basic kinds of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, pungent, astringent and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of your tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of your tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of your tongue. In India, doctors practice a very ancient system of medicine known as Ayurvedic medicine. It encompasses all lifestyle aspects, including nutrition. In this practice, it is believed that the key to health rests on the tip of your tongue, literally! The sense of taste is a natural guide map towards proper nutrition. For ages, humans relied largely upon taste to discover healthy foods in nature and avoid toxicity. Our taste buds do much more

than simply identify tastes; they unlock the nutritive value of foods and provide the initial spark to the entire digestive process. Food speaks to us directly through taste. A juicy pear may call out to us with a gentle message of delight, while the flaming chili pepper cries out in warning. As we tune into the tastes naturally desired by the body, we tap into the body’s innate wisdom regarding food and nutrition. All foods can be categorized in 6 Tastes: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Pungent, and Astringent. While the first four tastes are probably recognizable, the last two may not seem familiar. Pungent taste is hot and spicy as found in a chili pepper, or BBQ chips while Astringent taste is dry and light as found in popcorn.

Aim to incorporate all 6 Tastes in each meal The 6 Tastes offer us a user-friendly guide map for how to nourish ourselves. Rather than looking at nutritional labels for X amount of protein or Y amount of carbohydrates, the 6 Tastes naturally guide us towards our body’s nutritional needs. Each taste feeds our mind, body, senses, and emotions in its own unique way. From a modern nutritional perspective, the 6 Tastes satisfy each of the major dietary building blocks. Sweet foods, for example, are rich in fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and water, whereas Bitter and Astringent foods are high in vitamins and minerals. The brain sends the body signals when it requires energy in the form of food. By incorporating all 6 Tastes into each meal, we ensure that these signals are adequately met, thus avoiding food cravings or the over-consumption of certain foods. Including the 6 tastes in each meal doesn’t need to be a daunting task. Adding a squeeze of lemon to cooked dishes, for example, can quickly satisfy the Sour taste, while adding a side salad will fulfill the Bitter and Astringent tastes. Our body guides us to proper nutrition by “making us in the mood” of a particular taste, sometimes sweet as in ice cream, other times salty as in pickles. Listen to your body’s wisdom and you will be well on your way to vibrant health.

A Miracle Called Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael 15 years ago, Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael was formed when five friends decided to follow the age old custom of arising at midnight to learn Torah. Today, over eighty Talmidei Chachamim learn each night at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael. Midnight. A cold winter night. Relentless rain. Empty, silent streets. In the surrounding fields, a jackal howls. A sudden lightning flash illuminates dozens of figures rushing through the rain toward an impressive building. The tall windows seem to diffuse not ordinary light but some higher, blissful radiance. Within minutes, the sound of tefillah and limud HaTorah overpowers

76

the raging thunderstorm. This is Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, and these are the “anshei chatzos – the midnight men.” An interview with Rabbi Yehoshua Meir Deutsch, shlita, the dynamic Rosh Kollel of Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael

What impelled you to create a Kollel Chatzos? I thought that arising at midnight to learn Torah was only for the tzaddikim of old. The truth is, 15 years ago when I first decided to open Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, people though I was crazy. The idea of arising at midnight to learn Torah was unheard of, at least in this day and age. Yet so many of our seforim speak about the importance of devoting the auspicious midnight hours to limud haTorah and avodas Hashem. These hours are precious. People who come to visit our Beis Medresh in the middle of the night, are always amazed to find it crowded with lomdei haTorah. The kedushah there is palpable - and it’s no wonder: chatzos is a time of brachah,

a true eis ratzon. The holy Zohar brings that at dawn, the Creator stretches forth his scepter of kindness; whoever has merited standing and learning during the night may stretch out his hand and touch it. The tefillos recited during those hours are powerful and are m’sugal to bring down yeshuos. The nighttime hours, and especially the hours of chatzos, are the times of greatest clarity. The world is still and there are no distractions. The learning is pure and untainted. The avreichim are able to really shteig in their learning.

Could you give us a glimpse into what goes on at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael?. “At Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, the night begins with the recital of Tikkun Chatzos. The avlei Tzion – the mourners of Zion, remove their shoes and lower themselves to sit on the ground. Bent over their Tikkun Chatzos, they sob with pain as they mourn the churban of the Beis Hamikdash, the Exile of the Shechinah and the sufferings of the Jewish People.

Their eyes flow with tears as they beseech Hashem to put an end to our bitter galus, and pray for the individual suffering of each member of Am Yisrael. These tefillos are precious, for according to our seforim hakedoshim, Mama Rochel brings them directly to the Kisei Hakavod. I often remind the avreichim at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, that when we recite Tikkun Chatzos, we are not only mourning for the exile of Am Yisrael. Rather, we are also mourning our own soul’s exile into evil desires, sadness, depression, and materialism. We beseech Hashem to send the Moshiach to redeem all of Klal Yisrael from this bitter galus, as well as each individual Jew from his own private exile. The moment we conclude the recital of Tikkun Chatzos, the “war of Torah” begins. The entire Beis Medresh throbs with the vibrant song of limud Hatorah. With chaburos, chavrusos and shiurim in both Gemara and Poskim, as well as Kabalah and Chassidus, the melodious song of limud Hatorah blend together into a beautiful symphony of avodas Hashem. The achdus is amazing. Sefardim, Ashkenazim Chassidim and yeshivisheh MAGAZINE

ovdei Hashem all learn together at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael. The avreichim range in age from twenty to close to eighty! Working men who rush home from their jobs to go to sleep early in order to come to Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, learn b’chevrusa with great talmidei chachamim who devote every moment of their day - and their night - to Torah study.

Can you tell us about some of the avreichim who are learning at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael? Rav Shlomo Aharon Gottleib, shlita, is one of the leaders of a prominent Chassidic group on Eretz Yisrael. Although he is disabled and confined to a wheel chair, he never, ever misses a night of limud Hatorah at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael. He is almost eighty years old, yet, in spirit, he is more like a twenty year old. Every night, about ten minutes before the minibus is scheduled to pick them up, he phones the ten avreichim who travel with him from Beit Shemesh to Beitar to make sure that they don’t get up in time!

No matter what the weather, when the minibus arrives, he is already outside and waiting, and then, during the 15 minute ride to Beitar, he delivers a shiur to the other avreichim… And then there’s Rav Moshe Shor, shlita. He’s been learning at Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael for over twelve years, yet he’s never missed a night. Even on the night of his son’s wedding, he arrived right after the mitzvah tantz, wearing his streimel and bekesher! We have real tzaddikim learning in our Kollel. Rav Y. K., shlita, for example, remains standing the entire night in a corner of the Beis Medresh, learning Gemara. Every year he makes a siyum HaShas. And then there’s Rav N. S. His face literally radiates kedushah! When he davens shmonei esrei, the tears are stream from his eyes. These simple looking avreichim are hidden tzaddikim – if the world would know about them, they would run after them from brachos…

Among the men learning at

Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, there are several who travel from Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh to Beitar each night to learn at the Kollel. Isn’t there something similar available for them there? “Yes, there is, but Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, is the ‘father of the kollel chatzos network.’ Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael is special; there is an incredible sense of kedushah and achdus that has yet to be duplicated elsewhere. The feeling of

growth and avodas Hashem is palpable. In terms of gashmiyus, Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael has its own magnificent Beis Medresh. Refreshments and drinks are available around the clock. Although the Beis Medresh is fully air conditioned, after too many occasions when the electricity was down due to inclement weather we recently installed a wood burning stove. After all, I couldn’t allow the men of Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael to continue learning in a freezing Beis Medresh, and of course, despite the lack of heat, none of them would miss a night of limud Hatorah, so they all showed up bundled in layers, and layers (and more layers) of clothing! Now, thanks to our new wood burning stove, baruch Hashem, no matter what the weather, the Beis Medresh remains warm - both in gashmiyus as well as in ruchniyus.

You’re supporting some ninety avreichim, most of them heads of large families. That’s a huge responsibility. How do you do it? Siyata D’Shemaya. That’s the key. It takes a real miracle to support so

many chashuva avreichim. Each avreich receives a $700 monthly stipend, and before a Yom Tov that amount is doubled. The nashei chayil of Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael receive a $100 prior to each Yom Tov, a small token of our appreciation for their mesirus nefesh in enabling their husbands devote their nights to Torah. Baruch Hashem there are wonderful people who want the zechus of supporting talmidei chachamim who devote their nights to limud Hatorah with tremendous mesirus nefesh. One of the most sought-after arrangements is the YissacharZevulon contract, approved by the greatest poskim. The donor and the Torah learner sign a contract, meriting each with an equal portion in the learning. Of course, for this I choose only the best learners, talmidei chachamim, real masmidim who never miss a night. The two become true partners; the Torah learner davens for his donor-partner and his family, every night at chatzos. People mamash see nissim in the zechus of these contracts, especially in the area of parnassah. I am often astonished by the power of this segulah. One of our supporters was so satisfied with the results that he added another contract for his business! Dozens of times, I’ve seen how on days when Yissachar has learned with exceptional spiritual elevation, Zevulon reports a special success or a yeshuah. We have a range of other possibilities for participation: hourly or daily, through a standing bank order or a one-time donation, each according to his ability. Oftentimes, in the middle of the night I will get an emergency phone call from one of our supporters asking us to daven for someone who is seriously ill. I stop the learning for a few minutes to ask everyone to daven for that person’s refuah

and dedicate their learning to his zechus. Sometimes, we also conduct a pidyon nefesh. Baruch Hashem the results have been amazing! But I really shouldn’t be surprised. After all, during the hours of chatzos, the shaarei Shemayim are open to receive our tefillos, and they are brought directly to the Kisei Hakavod. And of course all our donors are listed in the Kollel’s kvittel. We daven for them each week at the Kosel and Kever Rochel, and monthly in Meiron. Each name and request is mentioned slowly and with concentration. Baruch Hashem we’ve seen incredible yeshuos! I’d like to take this opportunity to invite anyone reading this to personally visit Kollel Chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, next time you are in Eretz Yisrael. Personally, I think it should be counted among the mekomos hakedoshim there.

SUDOKU

HOW TO PLAY

The objective of sudoku is to enter a digit from 1 through 9 in each cell, in such a way that: Each horizontal row contains each digit exactly once Each vertical column contains each digit exactly once Each subgrid or region contains each digit exactly once

The puzzler’s job is to fill the remainder of the grid with digits –respecting, of course, the three constraints mentioned earlier.

MAGAZINE

HARD

In each sudoku puzzle, several digits have already been entered (the “givens”); these may not be changed.
