day before the soldiers entered Gaza, I received an email from a mailing list to daven for the son of one of the members of the list. This young man’s father is our good friend from way back when we all lived in the same community in the States. We all know someone who is fighting in Gaza or someone who has a son or nephew fighting there. Our prayers are with all of them as we wonder: “Where do they sleep, and do they even have a chance to sleep?” “Do they have enough to eat?” “Where were they on Shabbos while we made Kiddush and sat down to our seudahs with our families and friends?” “How do their parents feel as they try to go about their daily business?” We stand with them, even while many media outlets and most of the world, including the self-hating Jews, are pontificating about “disproportionate response,” “genocide,” and “the slaughter of innocent women and children.” They ask: “Why are there so few casualties among the Jews and so many among those living in Gaza?” They should be asking: “Why do the Israelis build bomb shelters and defense systems while Hamas uses women and children as human shields and takes their cement to build tunnels for terrorists instead of shelters for the civilians?” They should be asking: “Why do Hamas and the Muslims in general have a death cult which motivates them to commit self-genocide?” It seems that the world of sheker has never had such a heyday as its twisted truths, outright lies, and distortions proliferate among the nations whose anti-Semitism causes them to defend our enemies, even when those enemies have vowed to annihilate them as well. For the Jews here in Eretz Yisrael and around the world, it is a time of prayer and gratitude for the open miracles we have witnessed, amidst the pain for the loss of precious lives. As long as we stand together with Hashem and His truth, we can stand alone defending ourselves with His help. May He continue to protect and sustain each and every soldier, as well as all of the Jewish People, and bring us very soon, in our days, to the Geulah Shalaymah.

After the rocket is intercepted or falls harmlessly in an open area, we should express our thanks to G-d for His kindnesses.

I live in Givat Zeev and am eagerly waiting for THE ENGLISH UPDATE to get here. There is a plethora

of English speakers here who would love to have something to read and advertise in each week. Every week I have to scrounge for your magazine in trash bins in peoples’ buildings in Yerushalayim (not such a pleasant ordeal). Please hurry up in reaching us! -A Reader, Givat Zeev In the “Dear Readers” last week , you mentioned

that Rabbi Zilberstein and members of the Beit David Kollel in Holon have compiled a list of mitzvahs to fulfill when the sirens go off. Can you publish the complete list of the mitzvahs they recommend that we do? -A Reader

THE ENGLISH UPDATE responds:

Here is their list with thanks to Arutz Sheva, Israel National News for publicizing them: 1. At the blast of the siren, we should imbue our hearts with complete trust in G-d, the knowledge that He directs all events, and the certainty that every bullet and rocket has a Divinely-designated address. The Rambam, whose listing of the 613 Torah commandments is the most authoritative, does not list this mitzvah specifically, though it is certainly connected to the commandments to know that G-d exists, to love Him, and to fear Him. 2. We should pray, by reciting a chapter of Psalms or other

prayer, that the oncoming rocket not harm any Jew, and that it be successfully intercepted if necessary. The Torah commands us to pray for salvation when we face trouble and tribulation. 3. We must also engage in thoughts of repentance. The Rambam writes: "It is a positive Torah commandment to cry out and sound trumpets for every tribulation that faces the community; this is one of the ways to engage in teshuvah, repentance... in the knowledge that the troubles stem from [our] evil deeds…" 4. After the rocket is intercepted or falls harmlessly in an open area, we should express our thanks to G-d for His kindnesses. The Baal HaShe'iltot wrote that thanking G-d for a miracle is a positive Torah commandment. 5. When we are safe in our homes during a missile alert, we must remember those who are in the street frantically searching for a safe area. We should open our doors for them, thus fulfilling two mitzvahs in one: hospitality and saving others from danger. Regarding the commandment to give thanks, Rabbi Zilberstein added the following "bonus" concept: A verse in Psalms 35:18 praising public thanksgiving is this – "I will thank You in a great congregation, amidst a large nation I will praise You." The gematria of the Hebrew letters of the verse add up to 774 which is precisely the current Jewish calendar year of this, the Sixth Millennium. -S.D.

I am not writing in an official capacity but simply as a grateful alumna of NEVE YERUSHALAYIM. Rabbi Refson recently sent out a letter describing the plight of Neve Yerushalayim, a school that has helped thousands of girls - many present and future mothers of Klal Yisrael. Because of the dollar's depreciation and the Israeli budget cuts, they have a debt of 2.8 million dollars and may have to close. This would be a tragedy. If there is any way you can help by donating a large amount, donating a small amount regularly or in any other financial matter please visit - https://nevey.org/donation-form/ - all contact information possibly is there. If you know anyone who may be interested in donating to Neve please give them this information. -Someone whose life was saved because of Neve, and I'm just one of many!

VERRIN AH BRAND

Rabbi Issamar Ginzberg Monetized Intellect Consulting The Ba’al Eitza and Acclaimed Marketing Expert 718 971-5220 issamar@issamar.com www.issamar.com

That was easy!

was invited to come to New York last week for the “Let’s Talk Business 2014” summit. And of course, among the many other questions that were thrown at me, was this one, which I hear all too often: “Ich vill verrin ah brand.” “I want to become a brand. I’m competing with NYU in Manhattan for a segment of business, and they are what people think of as the first and foremost, if not only choice they have. Can you help me become a brand?” (Freud would say that this question indicates a lack of confidence just like a child who needs to prove himself later in life as “I’m a somebody.” But that’s a different schmooze all together.) I want to devote the rest of this week’s column to my answer to that question. “Look, you can’t compete with NYU for medical services and hope to develop your brand to be on par with theirs, not unless you have tens of millions of dollars to experiment with. No one is going to come to you because you’ve out-branded NYU with some kind of better looking logo or jingle. “But here is what you can do. Have longer hours. Offer no appointment needed service. Be open days they are closed. Give results faster. Get direct referrals from doctors by working on having them recommend or suggest your company as an alternative to NYU. Farm your area, so that while you are not competing with NYU’s image and millions of dollars of marketing budget as a whole, you are known within this small yet lucrative market segment as a top class provider.

“Advertise directly to the potential clients with strategic ads, media mentions, and other forms of placement-- and referral to make sure that you are a place people want to visit for some personal reason, whether it be faster response, valet parking, or free cake and coffee.” Rabbosai! You’ve read often enough in this column how the path to success and growth in business consists of siyata d’shmaya and the proper hishtadlus; the proper hishtadlus, as far as I can tell from the thousands of businesses I’ve worked with and assisted, does not consist of spending money to brand yourself. Is that a good side benefit to ads that work properly? Of course. But spending tons of money with the hope that it will help people remember you is a very risky strategy that, for the most part, does not pay off with success. Yes, there are examples of companies that have broken this rule, but every old newspaper has memories of so many others that tried and failed. One recent success story of branding in this respect is Pomegranate, that large luxury kosher supermarket on Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush. However, none of us really know how much money it took in advertising and if it was ultimately worth it. Could they have gotten the same results with less marketing that was more narrowly focused? Now several competitors have sprung up, and they are leveraging the concept to piggyback along for the ride after Pomegranate spent all that money promoting. They need to spend a small fraction of what Pomegranate spent to achieve the “we’re just continued on page 22

Feature by Dr. Batya L. Ludman

Resilient ChildrenResilient Parents Dr. Ludman’s sound advice is especially helpful for parents during this tense time of sirens going off and rocket attacks. In general, this approach to life’s challenges can transform them into tremendous learning opportunities.

ow do we raise resilient children? Resilience, the ability to roll with the punches, to experience life's challenges, and not just bounce back but thrive, is critical for all of us, individually and collectively as a community. This is especially so for children living here, and in these times, worldwide. Resilience is in large part learned, and as parents, we serve as valuable role models for our children. While a parent may very much want to, they can't shelter their child from all of life's challenges. They can, however, give their children the tools needed to help face these challenges, turn challenges into opportunities for growth and learning, and help support them as they mature. How parents cope with daily life and its many stresses, both good and bad, greatly influences how our children see and manage their world. We may not have much control over the many challenges that come our way but we certainly can exercise some control in how we choose to see and ultimately deal with them. A positive attitude can be learned and can even enable us to discover strengths that we didn't know we had. The more resilient we are, the happier, healthier, and more successful we can be as individuals and in our interpersonal relationships. Resilient people are more

satisfied, live longer, and lead more productive lives. With this in mind, here are a few thoughts about helping to build resilience in your child. Children need to feel your love and security in order to explore their world and feel safe. From an early age, they need to know that you'll meet their needs, that you honestly care about them, and that you'll comfort and support them with unconditional love and affection. Children need to know that you are there for them and fully present. This means reducing and eliminating outside distractions. Stop whatever you are doing, put away your "I- stuff " and look your child happily in the "eye." Studies suggest that good eye contact is an essential aspect of developing social skills in children of all ages, yet how often do we see a parent with their face buried in their devices? Quality and quantity time are essential in building a strong relationship between you and your child. Listen to and believe in your child. Help your child identify and express his emotions. Find out what he actually thinks and feels and validate his feelings. Your empathic attunement to his needs teaches him how to better understand others and increases resilience. Children need to feel heard, understood, and accepted for who they are. Mutual trust is crucial to your relationship.

Feature

Encourage an atmosphere of open communication and honesty where conflict can be expressed and there's a safe forum for discussion and resolution of issues. Through taking responsibility for your own behavior, and acknowledging your own mistakes, you can help your child become more assertive and learn that limit-setting and consistency are important. Criticism done with love and discipline (not punishment) can teach a child that their behavior has consequences. Laugh and have fun with your child. Help your child learn to express his feelings, see humor in the moment, and more fully appreciate the small things in life. Watch a toddler spend an inordinate amount of time just looking at a leaf or a flower, and you too can be amazed by the beauty all around us that we often miss. Teach your children to show gratitude and appreciation for what they have. Find ways to make family time enjoyable, relaxing and meaningful. Eat, pray, play, exercise and sing together. Read aloud, tell stories and share family photos. Family meals, from preparation to clean up, offer the opportunity to check in with each other. Teach your children how to slow down, develop self-calming strategies, and reduce stress through breathing and relaxation. Children need time to play. Reduce over-scheduling and increase independent creative play and reading, and see the difference it makes on them and on you.

Help your child focus on her strengths and abilities. Empower her by showing that you have trust and confidence in her decisions, and praise both trying, as well as succeeding, with tasks. Encourage patience and understanding and help her let go of the drive for perfection, and instead see mistakes as part of learning. Work on being the best person you can be and encourage this for your children. Show your children how their behavior affects others. Create family opportunities which encourage sharing, volunteering, and kindness to others. Teach them about modern day heroes. Model a healthy lifestyle. Eat well, keep fit, and promote healthy sleep. Provide routine, structure, and consistency while being open to new ideas; be flexible and positive. Be hopeful and optimistic and be a friend to others who are going through a difficult time. Teach your child to see the good in any situation and to move forward in spite of challenges. Through strength and resilience, we can all take a difficult situation and not just weather the storm but help drive the boat.

Care Packages

How We Can Help

Both organizations and individuals all over Eretz Yisrael are pitching in to help the soldiers in Gaza and the beleaguered communities in the South. From sending 3,000 changes of underwear to the boys in Operation Protective Edge to buying pizzas and providing babysitting for families in the South and families of the soldiers, there has been an overwhelming outpouring of support. Last Thursday alone, 1,500 pizzas were delivered to a whole base of more than 3,500 soldiers. Donors from all over the world made contributions to cover the costs. Soldiers who were operating the Iron Dome in the middle of a farm in Ashkelon also got a few slices. Another example of the ways people are trying to help comes from one of our Jerusalem neighborhoods. An email was sent out on the Ramat Eshkol N’shei list asking if any of the kollel wives would be interested in baking cakes and cookies for the IDF soldiers on the front lines. The woman who sent out the email had a neighbor who had been called up to the reserves. He had volunteered to take down a box of treats with him to Gaza. By the end of the same night the email was sent out,

over 200 families had responded with bags stuffed with over 1,000 care packages and letters. To donate to these services for the soldiers which help to boost their morale: Pizza - www.dkatom.co.il/pizza Underwear Packages - www.dkatom.co.il/under

Last Friday, an urgent atzeres tefillah was held in Yeshivas Mir, Yerushalayim. The Rosh Yeshiva, Hagaon Harav Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, shlita, spoke about the need to be strengthened in tefillah and Torah learning at this time. After his talk, the Mir students who had filled the beis medrash to overflowing poured out their hearts in tefillah for the success and safety of the soldiers and for all those who are endangered in Eretz Yisrael. Another development on the “Tefillah Battleground” is the Shmira Project. More than 10,000 people have signed up for this grassroots program that pairs IDF combat soldiers with Jews around the world who do acts of kindness, prayer or Torah learning to increase the soldier’s spiritual merit and protection. Any mitzvah

that participants do on behalf of “their” soldier makes a difference to the soldier and to Jewish unity. Participants are encouraged to pick a mitzvah that can easily be a part of their life and dedicate it to “their” soldier. Here are some of the guidelines: “Write your soldier’s name out and post it where you’ll see it: near the Shabbat candles, on the refrigerator, in your car, or in your phone. Then, when you’re going to do something positive in the world – stop and think of ‘your’ soldier and include him in your mitzvah.” The project was organized by the mother of a former combat soldier. To sign up and receive the name of a soldier for davening, you can fax to 02 657-2433, or visit the sign-up page at www.shmiraproject.com.

Tefillah

The Greatest Show of Support—Making Aliyah Despite the tense security situation, 228 new olim from the United States and Canada arrived at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday, July 22, on a Nefesh B’Nefesh Aliyah charter flight. Of these olim, a remarkable 100 are children who made aliyah with their parents. Altogether, 29 families and 54 singles joined this landmark flight. Due to the complicated security situation in Israel, Nefesh B’Nefesh is reaching out to the olim to give them counseling and support. They received a special booklet by the Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption on security measures, such as what to do when a Code Red siren sounds warning of incoming rockets. The Olim were

also provided with an English-language manual from the Home Front Command on how to talk to your children about the situation, translated by Nefesh B’Nefesh. “Cancelling or postponing our trip was never an option. Even though we’re flying into a war zone, we’re just as excited as we always were,” said Sarah Bergman, 31, of Waterbury, Connecticut, who will be making aliyah to Even Shmuel with her husband, Fred, 34, and children Eliyahu, 10, Zev, 8, Azriel, 6, and Elisheva, 2. Mrs. Bergman added, “We are preparing our children by talking about the situation. Our family is concerned, but this is where we’re going.”

“Cancelling or postponing our trip was never an option. Even though we’re flying into a war zone, we’re just as excited as we always were,”

Take Care

Recent tragic events have highlighted some of the risks that hitchhikers take. The kidnapping that cost three precious teenage yeshiva boys their lives was not an isolated effort, and not the first one to end in heartbreak, although most of the dozens of earlier such attempts were, thankfully, unsuccessful. It is known that terrorists frequently pretend to be Chareidi or National Religious Jews. They don dark trousers, white shirts, and black kippot and play recordings of Chassidic music, or wear large knitted kippot and set the car radios to a Hebrew-language station. The noise made by the recordings or the radio makes it harder for potential passengers to notice their Arab accents, and Anglos may find it even more difficult than Israelis to detect. Anyone who insists on thumbing lifts should take the precaution of making sure that the people in the car are to be trusted. It is very suspicious when a kippah-wearer cannot complete the verses “Shema Yisrael…” and “Ashrei Yoshvei Beisecha ..,” for example. Even if they pass that test, someone seeking a lift must realize that some terrorists have become wise to these questions. A lift-seeker should then ask more complex queries, including some ridiculous ones. “Why do we read Koheles on Shavuos?” Or, “What special food is eaten on Kol Nidrei night?” Or, “Why do they observe an extra night of Chanukah in the Diaspora?” Or, “How many candles do we light on the third night of Purim?” The list of questions that even the most ignorant religious Jew would be able to answer correctly is endless, and making up such a list could even turn into a fun activity with an important purpose. By the way, Jewish drivers are accustomed to being asked such questions and do not take offense. Not every Arab driver is a potential murderer, it is true, but every Arab driver who pretends to be a Jew is to be strictly avoided. My experience with Diaspora youngsters is that there are other potential dangers of which many are unaware.

For example, it’s important not to plunge headfirst into unknown waters. There is an innocent-looking pool in the Golan Heights, that conceals a hard rock not far beneath the surface. Even a good swimmer should not swim in natural waters unless there is a lifeguard. Chas v’shalom, there are strong undertows that can carry a person out to sea. This can happen, not only in the Mediterranean, but also in the apparently calm Dead Sea or the Kinneret, which have whirlpools. Unfortunately some Israeli rivers are dangerously polluted and this can also be fatal for swimmers. We also need to mention the ever-present danger of heatstroke in the summer. The IDF has finally learned – after bitter experience which cost healthy, young lives – that outdoor exercises which require physical exertion should be called off when there is a heat wave. Winter has its own risks. People got stuck in the snow for hours during the snowstorm that hit the country last Teves. The country’s hilly terrain means that there is a danger of flash floods during the rainy season. These have sometimes proved fatal. Youngsters from overseas should consult Israelis regarding how to behave when it comes to weather and terrain, and not decide for themselves. Locals are more likely to be aware of the dangers. Nearly everyone has a mobile phone nowadays. Youngsters should contact an agreed-upon friend or relative at least once each 24 hours during bein hazmanim. Bochrim like to hire cars and go on outings. If they leave their vehicles and go off on a hike, they should leave a note in the car window saying when they expect to be back. That way, if they are seriously delayed, someone will, hopefully, call the police. V’nishmartem me’od l’nafshosechem is one of the 613 mitzvahs, and it is at least as important as observing Shabbos and kashrus. May each and every member of Klal Yisrael be safe and secure this summer and always.

The Mystical City of Tzfas

‫ב"סד‬

By Rivkah Jacobs, author of Pieces of the Puzzle, CEO of Artzeinu Tours

Tzfat-majesty, mysticism, and simplicity all blend together in this ancient city so full of kedushah. One of the four special holy cities in the Land of Israel, Tzfat comes into the forefront in Jewish history at the end of the Spanish Inquisition. Many of the Spanish Jews expelled were great Talmedei Chachamim, steeped in the study of Kaballah. They, joining with others, came to the beautiful mountains of the upper Galil to help develop this special town perched high above sea level. Tsfat affords a magnificent view of the entire countryside and due to the altitude, enjoys fresh, pure air with cool, pleasant summers and snow white crisp winters. Tsfat depicts a quiet, serene majestic setting which afforded a prime atmosphere for the early mystics to delve into their studies. There is another reason, however, for their pull precisely to Tzfat. This little town is within eyesight ( hence the name- Tsfat from Litzpot – to gaze) and only a couple hours walking distance from Meron, the burial site of the tzaddik, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. According to tradition, Rabbi Shimon authored the book of Zohar (the book of spiritual splendor), the base work and forerunner to Mysticism. The Talmedei Chachamim of the fourteen and fifteen hundreds wanted to be near Rabbi Shimon’s kever. He was their spiritual mentor. People like to daven by the numerous kevarim in Tsfat and many men opt for a cold but very ruchnius dip in the Ari Zal's mikveh. One can still see the very alleyways and narrow streets through which these spiritual giants of the past actually strolled. The synagogues, the old homes, and the stone winding lanes of the past, coupled with the present day pleasant Tzfat community, the buzzing artist colony and the small craftsman shops make a visit to Tzfat an extremely interesting, educational and inspiring experience. Please look for Touring in Israel in the Travel Series of The English Update Offering exciting, adventurous and educational tours to Tzfat and the Galil, as well as tours throughout the country and discounted hotel reservations.

like Pomegranate, only difference is that we’re in Boro Park.” The reason many people are willing to advertise and spend money doing so as opposed to spending the cost of one or two ads sitting with someone like me is because ads have a physical manifestation, a trophy of sorts that they can kinesthetically feel in the hard copy. And if the ad does not bring the results they expected, at least they know the ad appeared. You’d be surprised how many people run to buy the paper to see their ad and then cluck their approval at their great ad without even considering how well or how poorly the ad did. They got their”thrill” already from seeing themselves in print. On the other hand, spending money on something intangible like good business advice is much harder. This is especially true when people don’t write meeting notes. It’s a case of the psychological resistance to spending money on what they think is “goornisht.” Here’s a business tip: Always give at least a token “manifestable,” physical, tangible item to your clients, in addition to the real service you are providing. Even if it’s simply a summary list of action steps to take, or a high quality pen with your logo (high quality so your brand isn’t associated with junk), the human brain accepts that “thing” as proof that there was true value delivered for money received. It’s a strategy for bypassing one of the main psychological blocks that people have when it comes

The Chain of Generations Center When we are privileged to see a new Jewish couple set up a home, we are witnessing an open miracle. The survival of the Jewish people is above the laws of nature. The eternity of the Am Hashem has no natural explanation. Our continued existence and endurance is due solely to the protection of the Al- mghty.

The Kosel HaMaaravi is also a phenomenon that defies all the standard rules of the natural world. But Hashem promised that this wall would remain standing, and it has, despite all the odds against its survival. No exhibit is needed to observe the eternity of the Jewish People; the best way to see it is by observing us follow the Torah, despite all we have endured throughout our many exiles. Nevertheless, many need an art exhibit to attract them to this truth. Close to the eternal Kosel is located an exhibit called “The Chain of Generations Center” that portrays the eternality of our nation. The exhibition, which uses the medium of glass, is set up in the subterranean chambers of a Crusader castle adjacent to the western walls. Here, 3,823 years of history is represented in 150 tons of glass, showing the chain of the generations of the Jewish people, stretching from Avraham Avinu, who was born in 1948 (from Creation), until today. Why the artist Jeremy Langford used glass to represent the about 19 generations of Jews through the millennium is up for conjecture. Maybe it’s because glass is made out of sand, and Hashem promised Avraham Avinu that his children would be as numerous as the grains of sand by the sea. Bilaam also asked, “Who can count the dust of Yaakov?” So, we see that sand represents Am Israel. But it’s deeper than that. Glass is made by putting sand into an extremely hot

Out & About furnace. The heated furnace of all that our nation has endured throughout the ages has created who we are today. The enchanting and unusual fusion of many creative elements — music, sculpture, archaeology, smoke, and light effects — creates a masterpiece that delights all the senses. Instead of remaining a spectator, the visitor becomes an active participant who can delve deeply into the history of our eternal people. There are several rooms at the center, each depicting a different period in the chain of generations of the Jewish people, beginning with the Avos and the Shevatim. Impressive works of art are seen in each room, created from layers of glass illuminated by rays of light that shine forth through the darkened rooms. During the construction of the center, fascinating archaeological finds were discovered and integrated into the exhibit. The “Room of Yearning” is a unique example of the combination of works of art and archaeological finds. At the foundation of the room is a wall from the period of the First Beis HaMikdash. The walls of the room itself are Crusader walls and there is a Mamluk ceiling. Through the glass floor that was added, you can see a mikveh from the times of the Second Beis HaMikdash. A huge column “sprouts” from the floor, rising to a height of nine meters (approximately 29 feet) and containing 2,000 pieces of glass. The creation of this work of art required about 15 tons of glass! The light-backed Hebrew letters from Divrei Hayamim and other sources that are on display appear as if filled with blazing fire. Truly, the experience of “The Chain of Generations Center” is a moving one. Reservations to visit The Chain of Generations Center can be made by telephone (02) 627-1333 or *5958. Entrance fee: NIS 25 for adults and NIS 15 for children.
