The Power of Prayer: A Night to Remember with the Tehillim Army By Tziri Preis
Over the past few months, I have witnessed something truly extraordinary unfold within the InKredible Kids Tehillim Army. As the general of this “inkredible” movement where 10,000 kids unite on a live Zoom call to pray for Israel, I have seen the immense power of collective prayer and unity among children of all backgrounds. For more than 100 days, we have sung together with Jewish superstars, soaked up inspiration from our Rabbanim, and, of course, stormed the heavens with the sweet voices of our children saying Tehillim. Our children have learnt to love their Tehillims, many of them making sure to bring them along wherever they might go. This past Sunday evening was a night that will forever be etched in my memory. Noam Buskila, a singer and paratrooper in the IDF, joined our 6 PM Tehillim Army Zoom call all the way from Israel, despite the seven-hour time difference. His presence, his story, and his music inspired not only the kids but also all the parents who were part of the call. As the evening progressed, the energy and strength in the virtual room soared P. 1 2 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E . C O M
higher and higher, with songs of unity and encouragement filling the air. The highlight of each night is when our “InKredible Kids” lead Tehillim for everyone present. Young Moshe Chaim from Los Angeles was called upon to lead Tehillim Perek Chaf. Suddenly inspired by the moment, I asked him to recite Pasuk Ches with extra feeling, emphasizing our fight in the name of Hashem. Little did we know the impact this moment would have. At precisely 1:49 PM EST, Moshe Chaim passionately recited the Pasuk, ‘Some with chariots and some with horses; but we, in the Name of Hashem, our God, call out’(Tehillim: Perek Chaf, Pasuk Ches). And at that very moment, thousands of miles away, a miraculous event unfolded. In a successful operation starting at 1:00 AM, Israeli soldiers rescued two hostages, Fernando Simon Marman and Louis Har, unharmed. The moment the Israeli forces breached the building to rescue Fernando and Louis was exactly 1:49 AM Israel time! The timing was no coincidence; it was a testament to the power of heartfelt prayers from the Tehillim Army, it was a testament
to the power of our childrens’ Tefillos. The correlation did not go unnoticed. Monday morning, messages poured in, all recognizing the divine alignment between our prayers and the rescue mission. It was a reminder that every prayer, every heartfelt cry, reaches the heavens and can bring about tangible change in the world. As we approach the holiday of Purim, a time when the cries of thousands of children turned the tide for the Jewish people, let us continue to grow this army of “InKredible Kids”. Let us connect with Tehillim, with Hashem, in a way that transcends boundaries and brings us closer to a brighter future for Am Yisrael. I urge families everywhere to join us every night at 6 PM with the Tehillim Army. Together, let us amplify our prayers, strengthen our faith, and pave the way for a world filled with peace and blessings. May we all witness the coming of Mashiach very soon in our days. For more information and to join the Tehillim Army, visit inkrediblekids.org or tehillimarmy.org for the live stream.

New Community Resource: The Florida Ozer Center The Florida Jewish community has witnessed significant growth over the past two decades, but the transformative surge in recent years has been unparalleled. Since the onset of the Covid boom, the community has experienced exponential expansion, reaching unprecedented levels. Families from across the United States move to Florida, drawn by the appeal of simplicity, a strong sense of community, outstanding Yeshiva options, respected Rabbonim, and the overall allure that extends far beyond the warm weather. This surge has resulted in the establishment and flourishing of communities statewide, spanning Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Boca Raton, Hollywood, Aventura, Surfside, Bal Harbor, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, Sunny Isles, Coral Springs, Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and beyond. This surge in growth marks a new era for Florida, presenting both challenges and opportunities. It has paved the way for the creation of new Shuls, Yeshivas, Kollalim, and the necessary infrastructure to support the burgeoning population. In response to these developments, the Agudath Israel of America Florida Office has recently launched the Florida Ozer Center—an all-encompassing resource and guidance hub catering P. 1 6 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E .C O M
to the diverse needs of the Florida Jewish community. Operating as a multifaceted umbrella organization, the Florida Ozer Center extends its assistance to individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds. The mission of the Florida Ozer Center is simple: to ensure that every individual within the community has access to essential resources, care, and programs that contribute to their well-being. With expert guidance, direction, and navigation, the center assists individuals in effectively utilizing available resources and accessing necessary support. Rather than duplicating existing resources, Ozer aims to connect families with the services already available, filling critical gaps in awareness and accessibility. The center’s resources are open to individuals from all walks of life, covering a broad spectrum of areas. Currently, the Florida Ozer Center has inaugurated two divisions, with plans for a third in the future, B’ezras Hashem. Yahalom Division - Empowering Families of Children with Special Needs: Led by Mrs. Tzippy Richmond, this division provides specialized support for families with children possessing unique abilities and special needs. Mrs. Richmond guides families through complex issues, offering
assistance with IEP and matrix score processes, Medicaid waiver, SSI, CDC Plus, FES-UA, Respite care, therapies, guardianship, vocational opportunities, and more. Gesher Division - Bridging to Government Programs: Under the leadership of Mrs. Teles, this division acts as a bridge to all available government programs and benefits. Mrs. Teles, with her extensive knowledge, handles inquiries related to Medicaid, WIC, food stamps, LIHEAP, ACP, My Safe Florida, Early Start, and more. She expertly navigates thresholds, qualifications, and processes, ensuring families receive the necessary support. Rabbi Avrohom Luban, Associate Director of Agudah Florida, emphasizes, “Our Gesher division is not limited to low-income families; there are programs available to all Floridians. Similarly, our Yahalom division is not exclusive to highly disabled children but caters to individuals with invisible disabilities, children on the spectrum, and any child requiring extra support and therapy. We’re here to support every person and family that can benefit from our expertise and connections”. To learn more about the Florida Ozer Center, or to be in touch, visit FloridaOzerCenter.org

Biale Rebbe of Bnei Brak has arrived in Florida One of Israel’s Greatest Rabbis, Renowned for Hundreds of Phenomenal Miracles
The Florida residents are getting excited! The Rebbe is coming again Hardly a year has passed since the Biale Rebbe of Bnei Brak has visited Florida, yet hundreds are excitedly anticipating the return of their revered Rebbe. Although the Rebbe has been visiting not one year and not two, but annually for some years now, every year the sensation repeats itself. Every year when the Rebbe arrives at the house where he lodges, the place becomes a public source of attraction as hundreds of people of various standards and types gather. The street becomes a hive of activity as lawyers, doctors, lay leaders, rabbis, educators, ranging from Hassidic to modern orthodox mingle as they flock to the Rebbe’s house. From early morning until the small hours of the night the streets resound with miraculous tales of unnatural miracles seen and experienced firsthand as a result of the Rebbe’s blessing. Everyone wants to understand, what is it that draws so many people to see the Biale Rebbe again and again? What is it that causes thousands of people from different backgrounds to seek the Rebbe? What is it that brings people with no semblance to Chassidim to cleave to the Rebbe with all their might, involving him in every move they take in life? At every occasion, be it happy or sad their first phone call is to include the Rebbe! What is it that unites young boys and elderly? What brings the famous ambassador of United States ,Mr. David Friedman, to visit the Rebbe? Many other prominent Rabbis and highly significant political figures from the American and Israeli government can be recognized amongst the Rebbe’s visitors anyplace between California, Florida, New York and New Jersey. Your chasan is waiting for you, go buy a watch and a tallit. The time in Israel is 5.00 a.m. when Rav Friedman, the Rebbe’s gabbai phone rings. Harav Friedman recognizes the American number and answers immediately. “Mazal Tov, mazal tov” he hears the voice from across the Atlantic call. The excited parents of the 27 year old girl who just became engaged have called to share there news immediately with the Biale Rebbe. This is the story they relate: We have known the Biale Rebbe for many years. Our entire family is extremely close to the Rebbe and at every family occasion the amazing miracles as a result of the Rebbe’s blessings are retold. Last year when the Rebbe visited New York I decided that the time has come for me to ask the Rebbe for a blessing for my daughter. My daughter is a talented excelling girl who has been in shidduchim for several years but as day follows day and week passes week, she has yet to find her destined. As the years passed on, we decided to seek the Rebbe’s blessing, I arrived with my wife and daughter to the Rebbe. The Rebbe reads our names and says: “your chassan is waiting for you. You are to go immediately and buy a gold watch and a tallit for your chassan and soon you will call me with good tidings. Of course, we immediately purchased the gold watch and the tallit and here we are, a mere four months later happy and delighted. A community whose youth are dwindling. This happened two years ago. At that time the P. 2 0 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E . C O M
pandemic was raging and caused several changes to the Rebbe’s travelling agenda. The Rebbe was travelling to the North of New York and was invited to spend a Shabbat in a new developing community which he had never visited before. It was a very special shabbat with the whole community attending. The shabbat meals were held outdoors in skylight and the songs were sung behind masked faces. The community members who were honored to have the Rebbe in their midst filed in one after the other to receive his holy blessing. And …. Within a short period – Mazal tov! The son of the gabbai of the Shul gets engaged. Two weeks later the son of the president of the community gets engaged! Mazal tov! The gabbai’s daughter also announces her engagement and so does the son of the Rebbe’s hosts! Less than twelve months after the Rebbe’s visit with the community and close to ten members of the small community have found their destined match! The following year the Rebbe is officially invited to visit the community, this time the Tisch was held in the synagogue’s hall. People came from far and near to receive the Rebbe’s blessing, including the delighted brides and grooms as well as those who are still waiting. All wanted a blessing from the Rebbe whose blessings are fulfilled. The court case was annulled. Antisemitism is as ancient as the world itself. For thousands of years, it has reared its ugly head. Our acquaintance, an honorable Jew who manages and honorable business came face to face with it. One day without prior notice the police barged into his house and searched his home. He was handcuffed and taken in for a tough interrogation where he was accused of illegal dealings. The Jew denied everything but the police insisted they had
proof of the illegal deeds. He alerted his lawyers and the bitter truth was revealed. A former employee who was involved in crime and was serving time, decided to save his skin and have his term shortened by informing on his former employer. He was his witness in court. After investigating the case the lawyers informed our friend that the situation looked grim as there was a strong case including a witness against him. He was told to prepare for the worst. The Jew was released on bail, one which consisted of a huge amount of money. He turned every stone and rent the heavens with prayer to be saved from his plight. One day his neighbor tells him that the Biale Rebbe is visiting their town. This Jew was not even allowed to leave his home but he decided to send his wife with a note with all the details and beg the Rebbe for a bracha. The Rebbe shlita was deeply touched by the troubles and the wailing of his wife and children and he informed his entourage of his desire to visit the man in his home and bestow his blessing upon him. It was late in the evening when the Rebbe arrived at their home. The Rebbe listened carefully to the whole story and heard how the children of the accused were being prepared for the possibility of having their father leave them for a long time…. One cannot describe the heartrending sobbing that was heard at the meeting. A young woman, with several young children all crying together and begging for a miracle. The Rebbe lifted his eyes and asks them: “do you believe that Hkb”H is capable of everything? Do you really believe that everything can change for the good? The Rebbe asked about several issues conducted within the home, gave them guidance how to strengthen their ruchniyas. He also advised them to accept several new kabbalot upon themselves and then announced: “I have faith that this decree will be annulled. In the merit of the kabbalot you just took upon yourself, Hashem will perform unnatural miracles.” All those present felt like in a dream. It just seemed so unrealistic. Everyone was totally prepared for the worst to happen. Suddenly the lawyer receives a call from the complainant. He sounded embarrassed and was stammering incohorently. It seems that the antisemitic so-called witness was involved in a heavy fight with other inmates and was beaten to death by his fellow prisoners…. The sole witness was dead and the case was called off! Our friend received a note from the attorney’s office notifying him that the case was closed due to lack of evidence! The entire family of the accused as well as all of those who were present at the time of the Rebbe’s visit to his house were delirious with joy and surprise as they came to thank the Rebbe for his prayers and miracles. All but the Rebbe. He merely said: “didn’t I tell you that Hashem can perform a miracle?; Moving to Teaneck? You’ll have a tinok! This sounds like a play-on-words. The word Teaneck in English is similar to the word tinok in Hebrew, which means “baby”. However, in our case it was not merely a play. It actually happened. We married and began our life together. We lived in a
COMMUNITY NEWS big city progressing in our life goals, except for the fact that our prayers for children went unanswered. As time passed, we began medical treatment. Unfortunately, we could see no light at the end of the tunnel. One day, after a very disappointing consulation with a specialist, who gave us no reason for hope, I went down to pray at a synagogue that was in the area of this medical Centre. It was there that I saw the leaflet informing of the Biale Rebbe’s impending visit. I made an appointment and asked the Rebbe for a blessing. The Rebbe encouraged me not to give in to despair. A year passed. The Rebbe is in our area once again. We go in to him for a blessing and we tell him that we just bought an apartment in Teaneck, New Jersey. The Rebbe says: “mazal tov! Teaneck! Tinok! – you will soon have a tinok- a baby.” The doctors were just as surprised as we were when within a year of moving to Teaneck our baby was born. THE REBBE SHLIT”A Twenty-two years ago, The Rebbe was barely in his early thirties when the yoke of leadership of Biale Chassidus Bnei Brak was thrust upon him. His greatness and guidance reached far beyond the borders of Bnei Brak as the Rebbe chose to draw his brethren from all over the world close to him by encouraging and helping them. The Rebbe is leader and mentor of a most respectable chassidus which is centrally based in Bnei Brak and has branches in Jerusalem, Beitar Eilit, Ashdod, Bet Shemesh and Modiin Eilit. This has added a new \ old hue to the leadership of Biale chassidus. Every day hundreds of people from varying backgrounds, Sephardim and Ashkenazim alike. Ultra-orthodox and those who have just donned a kippa, from Cholon to Bat Yam, Beer Sheba to Eilat, all stream to one address. The Rebbe opened his door and his heart to the whole of klal yisrael. Welcoming them with his compassionate heart and warm smile. People enter his room carrying a heavy load of troubles and worries however when they leave they are lighthearted and hopeful. Biale Chassidus’ holy lineage stems from a holy sage named Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok from Peshischa. This revered tzaddik lived some two hundred years ago and was known to all as the “holy Jew” – ‘The Yid Hakadosh’ from Peshischa. He was a disciple of the holy “Chozeh of Lublin” who was a direct fourth generation descendent of the holy Baal Shem Tov. The Yid Hakodosh was the greatest of Polish Rabbis, Rabbi to the leaders of Gur, Kotzk, Alexander and other great luminaries. Generations of tzaddikim in succession continued the tradition of the “Yid Hakodosh”. This chain was continued from father to son until the flame was kindled in our generation by the holy tzaddik and Rebbe – Reb Yechiel Yehoshua from Biale, may his holy memory be blessed. He was the grandfather of our revered Rebbe, a direct descendent of five generation to the Yid Hakodosh. The Chelkas Yehoshua Prewar Poland boasted of the Rebbe’s grandfather, Reb Yechiel Yehoshua Ztk”l as one of its’ greatest leaders. However, his fame reached a pinnacle during the terrible holocaust when he uncompromisedly sanctified Hashem’s name, first in occupied Poland and later in the freezing Siberia. His selflessness was indescribable. When he reached Israel all the great Rabbis acknowledged him as a great tzaddik. He was defied and honored as an angel in a mortal world. The Lahavas Dovid Next in line was the Rebbe’s father, the holy Rabbi Dovid Mattisyahu ztk”l. he was renowned and famous for his purity and greatness. During his lifetime his father appointed him as head of
yeshivas Biale. During his travels throughout the world he revived the broken hearted with his moving prayers and heartfelt talks. People were drawn to him from afar. His tall handsome profile reminded many of his holy father’s image. The Rebbe continues to tow this beautiful golden chain. However, he does not suffice with leading his own community. He is concerned about the welfare of all of Klal Yisrael. Several times a year he leaves the comforts of his home and visits countries and communities where no other Chassidic Rebbe has ever spent a Shabbos before. He embraces those who have strayed. He strengthens, encourages, motivates and directs until another Jew has found his way back to our Father in Heaven. THE FATHER OF THE ORPHANS The Rebbe’s institutions are famous throughout Israel. The center is based in Bnei Brak, and there are branches all over the country. However, his favorite project is the welfare of “his” orphans. The Rebbe is father to fifteen biological children and countless of grandchildren. However, hundreds of children throughout the world call him “Father”. Amongst the many institutions which are under his auspices is the yeshiva gevoah called “Mishkan Shimon Biale” which is situated in Beitar Eilit. Batei Midrash and kollels for young men are spread out in Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, Beitar Eilit, Modiin Eilit, Ashdod and Beit Shemesh. However, the institution for widows and orphans are under the Rebbe’s direct administration. This fund supports the widows and orphans studying in the Rebbe’s institutions. The desolate orphans receive everything they need of the best quality and quantity. This includes clothing, shoes, scholarship, dorm service and of course pocket money. All this is naught compared to the personal attention the Rebbe bestows upon them. As far as the Rebbe is concerned they are his fully adopted children. His house is their house, their worries become his own. The Rebbe is following after their studies and makes sure they have personal tutors Point in case - the Rebbe who had just returned from a trip to the USA one Erev Pesach told his driver to take him to visit his orphans directly from the airport. His own family and children can wait – his orphans come first. Upon his arrival the Rebbe gave each orphan gifts and pocket money enough for everything he needs for yom tov. Only then did he make his own way home to his family and yom tov preparations. Outstanding development in Biale institutions in Israel: For many years, the special institution in which the Rebbe’s “children” reside is an old building in the town of Beitar Eilit which is close to Jerusalem. The building lies in close proximity to the borderline and faces directly the Arab town “Hussan”. The Arab inhabitants have a daily view of a Jewish Torah town developing right in front of their hate-filled eyes. The town is part of the “occupied territories.” The building is old and dilapidated. In the winter the rain leaks in, in the summer it is more of a furnace. This year the Rebbe reached a decision: NO MORE! “My wonderful children” deserve better! In recent months a new campus is being built on Kedushas Levi St. in the heart of Beitar Eilit. The campus will include spacious classrooms, computer and game rooms, a fully equipped dormitory and a modern kitchen, for the welfare of the students for whom the building is home. In addition to the above, a huge chesed center is being built on Daf Hayomi St. The Rebbe is renowned for his acts of chesed. He is the first
address which needy widows and orphans turn to. Truckloads containing everything possible are sent on every erev chag to provide the needy with everything they need for yom tov. Clothing, shoes, fish, meat, chicken, goodies and last but not least a hefty cheque to lighten their sorrow filled hearts. Very often the Rebbe takes part in weddings where he acts as the “father” on both sides. AROUND THE CLOCK As day turns to dusk in New York, the phones in Israel become alive! Now it is the Jews of Israel’s turn. They call non-stop asking the Rebbe for blessings and advice. it is the Yidden in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and New Jersey who are calling. It makes no difference, they are all his children. Hundreds of emails are sent to the Rebbe’s office daily, and the Rebbe devotes precious hours to answer them personally. He carries these requests with him and remembers them in his daily prayers. The burden becomes his own. He is with them in their sorrow and delights in their happiness. Seven gabbaim are employed throughout the day to provide immediate response to the thousands calling the Rebbe. How happy are the gabbaim when they can inform the Rebbe of another baby born a couple engaged or yet another miraculous turn of events! THE REBBE’S LODGING: These days are happy days for the residents of Florida as they are anxiously preparing to meet once again with their beloved Rebbe. The Rebbe will be staying in Florida from Thursday February 1 at the house of the honorable host MR. & MRS. ALEX & SHAKED GOLDBERG, at 19961 NE 37 CT AVENTURA FL.

Navigating the Dynamic South Florida Real Estate Market: Insights and Predictions
Hello, I'm Avi Werde, a Luxury Real Estate Advisor with The Carroll Group at Compass. With our team consistently ranked #1 throughout Compass Florida and #25 nationally, having facilitated nearly 6 Billion dollars in home sales, I bring you insights grounded in experience and authenticity, backed by the most upto-date sources. Understanding the Current Interest Rate Environment: In this issue, we delve into the current interest rate landscape and explore two potential scenarios that could shape the South Florida Real Estate Market. The financial markets have been buzzing with the latest optimistic inflation reports. In summary, the Federal Reserve indicated that with cooling inflation, the public sector might see some reductions in rates throughout the year. This news has sparked a rally in the stock market, signaling positive sentiment.
The Connection Between Real Estate and Financial Markets: It's crucial to understand that the real estate market is intricately linked to the broader financial landscape. As consumer mortgage rates often mirror the ebbs and flows of the financial markets, we anticipate a potential decrease in interest rates following the Fed's lead. While no reduction has been made yet, it's something to watch closely. Current State of South Florida's Real Estate Market: From my perspective, the South Florida real estate market currently displays a mix of stagnant prices but active transactions. This leads us to ask: what's next for the market as the year progresses? Future Market Theories: Theory 1: Stability and Growth. Prices may remain stable, but we expect an increase in inventory to meet market demand. With more buyers reentering the market and sellers motivated to capitalize on new opportunities
with concessions, we anticipate a lively market environment. Theory 2: Rising Prices and Shrinking Inventory. Contrary to what some might expect, South Florida's allure could drive prices up even as interest rates lower. This scenario would see a surge in buyers, leveraging lower rates to access higher-priced homes, potentially leading to a tighter market. Conclusion: In conclusion, my advice is to act now rather than wait. Prospective buyers might think it's wise to hold off until interest rates drop further, but this could also mean facing higher property prices. For buyers, purchasing now and refinancing later could be more costeffective. Sellers, on the other hand, might find that delaying their sale could lead to missed opportunities, especially if they plan to reinvest in the market by buying something else. Got questions? Contact me for more market insights and advice.

The Numbers Don’t Lie, or Do They?! By Shmuel Shayowitz
A businessman was interviewing job applicants for the position of manager of a large division. He quickly devised a test for choosing the most suitable candidate. He simply asked each applicant this question, “What is two plus two?” The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was, “Twenty-two”. The second was a social worker. She said, “I don’t know the answer, but I’m very glad that we had the opportunity to discuss it.” The third applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a slide rule and answered, “somewhere between 3.999 and 4.001.” Next came an attorney. He stated, “In the case of Jenkins vs. the Department of the Treasury, two plus two was proven to be four.” Finally, the businessman interviewed an accountant. When he asked him what two plus two was, the accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it, returned, and sat down. Leaning across the desk, he said in a low voice, “How much do you want it to be?” He got the job. After seeing the blockbuster BLS jobs report from last week, where it was reported that 353,000 jobs were created in January, many are asking who is doing the accounting for the BLS!? The report was in complete contrast to the ADP report, which only showed 107,000 jobs created, and was more than double what was forecasted for the BLS for January. I received many comments from people who were as surprised as I was with the amount of new jobs, especially P. 3 4 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E . C O M
when the news is flooded with layoffs on a daily basis. For some background - ADP handles payroll for approximately a fifth of all employees working for a private employer in the U.S. For its monthly ADP jobs report, it collects anonymized data from the payroll services it provides to over 25 million U.S. workers. It is fair to say this represents a reasonably accurate picture of the current state of employment. In contrast, the BLS, a unit of the United States Department of Labor, which collects and disseminates key data for the government about labor and wages, does not have first-hand data about employment. Unlike the ADP, the BLS allows itself the “flexibility” of adjustments to its employment data. For the BLS, January is always heavily adjusted as new benchmarks, seasonal adjustments, and population controls play a significant role. The raw job figure showed there were actually 2.635M jobs lost in January, but they seasonally adjusted it higher by 2.988M, which resulted in a hefty gain of 353,000 jobs. The media was abuzz with the beautiful jobs data. Without the adjustments, the jobs report was otherwise a bust. Average weekly hours worked declined again, falling to the lowest level since 2010, excluding the pandemic. This is noteworthy as employees are getting paid more per hour but working fewer hours, so their total “take home” income is down. For context, the 30 minutes
less per week is comparable to 2.4M job losses. It’s just another way that businesses are cutting costs without making headline news. As I said, 2024 will be an important year for jobs and geography. People will begin thinking about moving – they will reevaluate their careers and where they could be living or should be living, given all that is happening nationally and geopolitically. I welcome these conversations and know that I have a lot to offer regarding housing, real estate, career evaluations, and a possible move to Israel.

Please Stop Selling Sir By Shalom Markman
I got told to “stop selling” the other day. I had been on a call with a dentist practice unhappy with their current service. They weren’t trying to hide it either and were very straight forward with me about their frustrations. I patiently listened to their pain points. It came down to service and ease of use. Their current customer support took weeks until any issue was resolved. There was also no specific individual as a go between and no one person to get in touch with either. On top of all this, the current software used to run the dentist office transactions wasn’t easy to use, had been outdated for a while, and did not support their current needs. Saved customer information for example, wasn’t able to be automatically charged upon the completion of services rendered. In their words, they were ready to choose my service, even if I couldn’t improve their bottom-line cost. After listening to their list of underwhelming service and software issues, I started to reassure them that they had nothing to worry about. “My customer support will be unparalleled”, I assured. “You’ll hear from me each step of the way and beyond,” I boasted. “You’re welcome to call me on my personal cell at any hour,” I said with pride. I was excited. I knew this client was practically mine from our first conversation together. One major self-inflicted issue, however, almost put up a roadblock. Me. I had put on my selling hat and didn’t look back. I so badly wanted to prove that I was the one for them, and here to parachute in and save the day like Superman, that I found myself immediately selling them. Here they were ready to use my services. Yet, I felt the need P. 3 6 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E . C O M
to prove myself even more and couldn’t hold back. Angela Guido, “Please stop trying to convince people you are good”, (January 2020 https://careerprotocol.com) gives us a timeless tip. “If I could give you one piece of advice for a joyful decade, here it is: stop trying to convince people that you’re good enough.” Guido continues and asks a funny yet provocative question. “Why start with the premise that you’re no good?” I was guilty, and buying right into showing that I was better than what my prospect had maybe assumed. This prospect wasn’t in the mood of my selling antics, being sold to. “We don’t need you to convince us”, they assured me. “We want to use you and we’re going to give you a shot.” They were right. This business didn’t need being sold to. They knew their frustrations and who they were talking to. They had heard about me and been following me. I wasn’t some random
number on Google. I had made the grand mistake in sales. My emotional intelligence meter wasn’t calibrated. I was too busy trying to get the sale and not in tune with what my future client really wanted of being understood. There are three human emotions that motivate a human being, known as point emotions. We want to be liked by others, to be understood by others, and to understand. To be liked, you need others. To be understood, you also need others. To understand, you need tools. These emotions can be mutually exclusive. Sometimes, people want to be understood but they don’t want to understand. They aren’t asking the question to truly understand, but for the need to be understood. When selling effectively, you’re not just understanding your prospect. You’re showing your prospect that you understand them too. In my scenario, I wasn’t properly reading the room. My prospect didn’t care to understand my services. He assumed I would do a better job. Anything would probably be an improvement. This conversation was really about wanting me to understand him and wanting me to listen to the companies’ frustrations. I took their rebuke with open arms. Lesson learned the easy way this time. Shalom Markman started selling merchant services by door knocking in NYC. He currently lives in Norfolk VA with his family and visits Florida when he gets hungry or brings on a new client. You can find him on LinkedIn.

Anxiety:
Understanding, Coping and Thriving
(Courtesy of Parkview Pharmacy) In the fast-paced, interconnected world we live in, anxiety has become an increasingly prevalent aspect of the human experience. A natural response to stress, anxiety serves as a protective mechanism, alerting us to potential threats and mobilizing our bodies for action. However, when anxiety becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can significantly impact our mental and physical well-being. Understanding Anxiety Anxiety is a complex and multifaceted emotion, encompassing a range of feelings from unease and worry to fear and panic. It can manifest both mentally and physically, affecting thoughts, behaviors, and physiological responses.Common anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Causes of Anxiety The causes of anxiety are diverse and often intertwined. Genetic factors, brain chemistry, personality, and life experiences can all contribute to the development of anxiety disorders. Stressful life events such as trauma, major life changes, or chronic stress can trigger or exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Symptoms of Anxiety Recognizing the symptoms of anxiety is crucial for seeking appropriate support and intervention. Common signs of anxiety may include: • Excessive worry: constant, uncontrollable worry about everyday situations. • Physical symptoms: tension, restlessness, muscle aches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. P. 4 2 / T S F C O M M U N I T YVO I C E . C O M
• Cognitive distortions: irrational thoughts, fear of the worst-case scenario, and catastrophic thinking. • Avoidance behavior: steering clear of situations that may trigger anxiety. Coping Strategies Managing anxiety involves a combination of self-help strategies, professional support, and lifestyle adjustments. Here are some effective coping strategies: • Deep breathing and relaxation techniques: Practice deep-breathing exercises, meditation or progressive muscle relaxation to calm the mind and body. • Regular exercise: Engage in physical activity, as exercise is known to reduce anxiety and stress by promoting the release of endorphins. • Healthy lifestyle: Prioritize adequate sleep, maintain a balanced diet and limit the intake of stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol. • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Work with a therapist to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. • Mindfulness and meditation: Cultivate mindfulness through meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques to stay present and reduce anxiety. Professional Support Seeking professional help is a crucial step in managing anxiety. Mental health professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors, can provide guidance, support and evidence-based therapies tailored to individual needs.
The Importance of Self-Compassion Understanding that it is okay to experience anxiety is a key aspect of self-compassion. Being kind to oneself and acknowledging the challenges without judgment can help alleviate the emotional burden associated with anxiety. Thriving With Anxiety While anxiety can be challenging, it is possible to thrive with proper management and support. Embracing a holistic approach to mental health, including self-care, social connections and professional assistance, can empower individuals to navigate the labyrinth of anxiety and lead fulfilling lives. Herbal Supplements (Check with your medical provider if you take any prescription medications to make sure there are no contraindications) • Valerian root: Some people use valerian root as a natural remedy for anxiety. It is available in various forms, such as capsules or teas. • Lavender: Lavender is believed to have calming properties. It can be found in essential oil form, and some people use it for aromatherapy or topically (diluted with a carrier oil). • L-Theanine: Found in green tea, L-theanine is an amino acid that may have calming effects. It is available as a supplement. • Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. While it is mainly used for sleep, some people find it helpful for reducing anxiety. • Omega-3-Fatty Acid: Found in fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids may have moodstabilizing effects. However, their impact on anxiety can vary.
