I’m dreaming of that perfect wig. I just can’t seem to fınd the one… know? Whatever. It’s hard to explain. I need a wig that is seasonal yet withstands the seasons. Does that make sense? I love a natural look. It’s so up-to-the-minute. But I need a little help pulling it off. I need a good wig. A wig that can hold its own. For a nice while. Color is another thing. I hate this fake colored look. I want my color trendy. But I

I want something I could wear to weddings. Simchos. Something that would hold a curl. I need the volume. Dimension. Depth. But sometimes I want to wear it super-flat and casual and straight. I know I am contradicting myself. But I’m a versatile person. I wear my wigs like I wear my moods. So, like today I just wanted to pin up my wig in a messy top bun, but I have a wedding tonight and my mother-in-law will be there. I need to look decent, y o u
want it to be me. Need it to be me. For like a long time. I’m not buying a wig every day. I told my husband it’s like when he picks the color of the car we lease. It’s a big decision. He got it. Styles change. I want to be able to go with the flow. So not too straight. I need good quality hair that could withstand some waves, crimps, curls. Whatever is up next. But I need it sleek now. I love the sleek for now. Don’t get me started on fit. My hairline is difficult. I have a funny shape head, whatever. I wear my wigs 24/7. Literally. I can’t shlep it here and then there. It needs to fit. Like a glove. Like a really g o o d . wig.

my siblings up in Monsey. It sounded interesting, but didn’t really pertain to me… until recently. I’m so excited that we now have a Boro Park View! Your last issue was really nice. My children especially loved the coloring page and the “Can You Find Me?” column. I loved that this past issue was geared to children for back-to-school season, but, I’m looking forward to more intellectually stimulating articles of the type I’ve heard about from Monseyites. Can’t wait to see what the next issue will bring! Waiting for Wednesday
YOUR VOICE Dear Boro Park View, I see that you’ve invited readers to share their peeves in your “Your Voice” section, in what I assume is meant to be in a productive manner. Now that we are entering the yom tov shopping season, 13th Avenue is going to be full of strollers, and not just the ones that brush past each other as the pushers promenade down the avenue. No; they’ll also be fanned out around various shops, maybe even with a “babysitter” supposedly watching the babies inside. But then there will also be those strollers that no one is watching. Either way, both scenarios are really, really scary. I was once standing outside a store and stayed with a baby alone in its stroller, as is my custom, awaiting for the mother to return. All of sudden, that little baby who’d been crying for Mommy, slipped out of the bottom of the stroller and onto the concrete. Baruch Hashem, the baby was wearing thick winter gear and was okay, but imagine if it hadn’t been? I had to scream inside the store for the mother to come running. Now lest you think I’m an old fuddy-duddy, I’ll set that record straight. I’m young like you, with four little kids. And yes, I know it’s so, so hard to be a young mother who has to accomplish so much and who also has a baby that has to come along for the ride — especially in our skinny little Boro Park stores which are patrolled by shop owners for contraband on wheels (carriages, of course), but I also know that children are irreplaceable, and it only takes one second… Please parents, think twice before you go shopping with Baby. It might just pay to switch off babysitting with friends/neighbors, dropping Baby off at Mommy/Shvigger, or having your husband watch your child, even if it means taking off from kollel. This is an issue of truly protecting and caring for our kinderlach. A Concerned Mother

Parshas Ki Seitzei By: Malka Schneps
Mendy drove around the block looking for a parking space as the time for davening came near. Finally, desperate to make Mincha, he parked in front of someone’s empty driveway. I’m not blocking anyone, because there’s no car there, he reasoned. And Mincha doesn’t take so long. I’m sure I’ll be gone before they come home. Mendy was pleased to make his minyan and pulled his car out as soon as davening finished. He returned to work, and by the time the work day was over, he’d long forgotten about the parking issue. He was quite hungry, and as he drove home, he looked forward to sitting down to a warm meal. Finally, pulling up to his house, Mendy was horrified to find that someone had parked in front of his driveway! He looked up and down the street, searching for a parking spot on his block, but there wasn’t a single empty space to be found. Grumbling to himself, he drove away to look for parking elsewhere. How inconsiderate of that person to block my driveway! Whether it was for a minute or an hour, he reasoned, they should not have blocked me at all. It says in this week’s parsha, “Lo yih’yeh l’cha b’chischa even va’aven gedolah u’ketanah — You shall not have in your pouch two different measures, one large and one small” (Devarim 25:13). There was a time when items in a market were weighed on a two-sided balancing scale, where the weighing stone would be placed on one side, and the product would be placed on the other side. If a person
54 / THE BORO PARK VIEW
wanted to buy a pound of flour, a one-pound stone would be placed on one side of the scale, and flour would be added to the other side until the two sides of the scale were balanced. The person would then pay the price for one pound of flour. However, a dishonest merchant might keep two measuring stones: one that truly weighed one pound, and another that was stamped as one pound, but really weighed less. The unsuspecting customer would then pay the price for a full pound of flour, but would receive less than a full pound in return because of the inaccurate measure. Thus, not only is it against the Torah to conduct business dishonestly by using an inaccurate measure; it is against the Torah to even possess an inaccurate measure. Sometimes in life we use one set of measures when deciding that it is permissible for ourselves to act in a certain way, but we use a different set of measures when judging the behavior of others. In the story above, Mendy kept two sets of measures: one for himself, by which it was fine for him to block another person’s driveway, and a second set for others, by which it was inconsiderate for another person to block his own driveway. We are all susceptible to the temptation of keeping double measures, which are also known as double standards. Whether it is how we feel or how we speak about another person, how we
treat them, or how we judge their actions, we must endeavor to keep one true standard for ourselves as well as for others. This is true whether they are similar to us or different, whether they are a relative or friend versus a stranger, whether they are from our community versus another, be they from in-town or from out-of-town, etc. Furthermore, we should not even possess the inaccurate measure; we must make sure to not only treat others equally, but also to think of them equally. We are now moving through Chodesh Elul, proceeding toward Rosh Hashanah, when our deeds will be weighed on a scale. What measure will Hashem use to weigh our merits? The Gemara says, “It is with the measure by which a person measures others that he himself is measured” (Megillah 12b). Those who keep a double standard in judging others are actually doing themselves a disservice, for Hashem will judge them in accordance with how they judge others. If a person used an inaccurate measure in business dealings or perhaps even in their interpersonal relationships, then that person’s merits may be measured too small as a result. On Rosh Hashanah, our merits and actions are important and make a big difference in our own judgment. May we all judge one another favorably and be zoche that Hashem judge us favorably in turn.

KEREM MENACHEM TORAH V’YIRAH THE SOLUTION There was a time when the wedding of a child was saturated with true simcha. Then… things changed. Approximately 30 years ago, R’ Mendel Weinstock realized that the costs of a standard chasunah, often hosted in a rented hotel ballroom, were causing mechutanim great financial and emotional strain. Taking the initiative, he built Torah V’yirah, the very first wedding hall to be established within a cheder building, thus enabling his fellow Yidden to marry off their children at a reasonable cost.
HIS PAIN NOW OURS It’s 30 years later, and the stresses of planning a chasunah clearly mirror those of the past. The pre-wedding months are laced with fear and anxiety, and sometimes even sudden physical ailments and shameful pleas for help. Now, as then, R’ Mendel Weinstock’s family is stepping in to find a way to lighten the burden of Klal Yisroel.
KEREM MENACHEM A LEGACY OF GIVING It is only fitting for this new hall, established with the mission of relieving the burden of overbearing bills for many Yidden, to be named Kerem Menachem — the hall will be established in memory of R’
58 / THE BORO PARK VIEW
Menachem Tzvi (Mendel), who had set in motion a wheel of true chesed in this very capacity. Because making a simcha, especially a chasunah, should not mean forfeiting financial and emotional stability. Now, once again, this family has found a way to make the unreal become a reality.
TAKANOS HALL THE REAL DEAL Kerem Menachem presents a complete, up-to-date wedding experience at a greatly discounted cost. This uncompromised experience is made possible simply because the family has in mind only to benefit Klal Yisroel. For only $5,000 per side, the full wedding night package is yours. This takanos bundle includes professional music, an experienced badchan and an excellent photographer. A
significant amount of money has also been invested in the hall’s recent remodeling, updated decor, and the beautiful, garden-like setup of faux floral arrangements. Meals will be prepared by an upscale chef, with each course fresh and beautifully presented. As per popular takanos policy, weddings will follow a punctual time schedule, with bentching promptly at 11 p.m. The standard guest count served at the meal will be 125 couples.
THIS IS REAL DREAMS DO COME TRUE The hall of your dreams is now accepting bookings for the months of Cheshvan, Kislev and on. Reserve your date today and embrace the peace of mind that you — and every family preparing for a simcha — deserve. Finally, the serenity of being able to cover the cost of a wedding hall on your child’s special day, all services included, is within reach. Come Cheshvan, the mechutanim dancing at Kerem Menachem will be celebrating with happy hearts and smiles that are more than skin-deep. This is the way a true Yiddishe simcha should feel.

NYC Measles Outbreak Officially Ends With 42 days elapsed since the last reported case of measles in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot declared the measles outbreak in the five boroughs officially over. The mayor credited community leaders for their assistance in bringing under control the months-long public health emergency that had hit Boro Park and Williamsburg hard. “Ending the measles outbreak required extensive collaboration with community organizations and Jewish leaders,” said de Blasio. “They helped encourage vaccinations and achieve record immunization levels in parts of Brooklyn.” The mayor called for continued vigilance, particularly with the opening of schools throughout New York City. Religious exemptions that had previously allowed parents to opt out of vaccinations were repealed statewide in July. The measles outbreak, which began last fall, was the largest to hit New York City in nearly thirty years, with 654 cases confirmed by the Department of Health. Approximately 15,540 doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine were given in Boro Park and Williamsburg over the past five months. Deputy Commissioner for the Health Department’s Division of Disease Control, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, encouraged city residents to remain vigilant in order to prevent further spread of the measles. “We will continue to urge everyone to confirm that they are immune to measles by looking at their vaccination histories or by consulting with a healthcare provider,” said Dr. Daskalakis.
Free Program Provides Crucial Job Skills A four-month course intended to provide area residents with the skills they need to succeed in the job market will be starting next week and will be offered free to qualifying Boro Park residents. The course is being offered by the Boro Park Jewish Community Council in conjunction with the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, and it is
62 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
funded by the New York State Department of Labor. The Pathway to Parnassah course was developed for the local community and will teach basic skills in English, sales and customer service, among others. The course is part of the BPJCC’s ongoing efforts to help people find jobs, developing programs from within that are geared toward the community’s needs. “This course is unique in that it includes various different skills so that those who are unfamiliar with these areas will now have the ability to get jobs that will allow them to grow and be mifarnes their mishpacha in a respectful manner,” said Rabbi Avi Greenstein, CEO of the BPJCC. Program space is limited. For more information, contact the BPJCC at 718-972-6600.
Police Car Jumps Curb, Hits Local Health Food Store Two pedestrians were injured last Motzei Shabbos at the corner of 52nd Street and 13th Avenue when a police car jumped a curb, hitting a storefront. The incident took place at approximately 9:45 p.m. Police said that a police car responding to a call was headed south on 13th Avenue when it was hit by a black Honda Odyssey while in the intersection. The force of the accident sent the NYPD cruiser, a Ford Explorer, onto the sidewalk and into the front of Landau’s Health Tree. Five people were transported to Maimonides Hospital, including two young women, two police officers and the driver of the minivan. The NYPD, FDNY and Hatzolah all responded to the accident. Well over a hundred onlookers flocked to the scene, which was roped off by police tape. Commenting on the crash approximately two hours after it occurred, Mayor Bill de Blasio said that police would be continuing their investigation and that all of the injured were in stable condition.
New License Plate Design Chosen in Cuomo Contest New Yorkers have cast their votes, and the winning license plate has been announced. ABC News reported that the winner of the “choose our next license plate” contest launched by Governor Andrew
Cuomo — featuring images of the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, a Long Island lighthouse, the New York City skyline and the Adirondack mountains — won nearly half of the 325,000 votes cast. Like four out of the five designs submitted for public vote, the license plate bears the state motto “Excelsior,” a Latin word meaning “ever upward.” Three of the plates not chosen featured only an image of Lady Liberty. The fourth portrayed the new Tappan Zee Bridge, which bears the name of the governor’s father, former Governor Mario Cuomo, already a sore topic for many. That design came in dead-last in voting. "The design overwhelmingly selected by New Yorkers showcases some of our most iconic symbols and truly represents what the Empire State is all about — our diversity, our unparalleled architecture and natural beauty, and our unyielding commitment to freedom and justice for all," said Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The new license plates will be available in April. The change comes with a $25 price tag. Those whose license plates are more than ten years old will have to either pay for the new plates or fork over a $20 fee to keep their existing plates. While Cuomo insisted that the new design was intended to make New York license plates more readable for license plate readers being installed at cashless toll booths, he has been criticized for using the plates as a money grab. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are currently three million license plates registered in New York State that have passed the ten-year mark, meaning that the new plates will bring in as much as $75 million in fees. Senator Jim Tedisco, who started a petition opposing the new plates, said that with the $5 million cost of manufacturing the new plates, New York stands to make $70 million in profits. “The resistance to Governor Cuomo’s highway heist to raise license plate fees by millions of motorists is growing,” said Tedisco in a written statement, describing the new license plate tax as a bad idea. “It’s not necessary, and the governor should listen to the overwhelming chorus of people who are outraged by it and do the right thing by revoking it.”

CHAPTER T WO
Elisheva’s daughter Miri has a baby boy. Though Elisheva is thrilled, there is something weighing her down about the simcha. Bratislava 5704/1944
The woman who had materialized shook her head from side to side. “I’m not your mother, child,” she said hoarsely. Gustav gaped, fascinated, at the pathways that the tears forged on her face. “I’m...” she murmured, and lowered her eyes to the large bundle in her arms. “You have the wrong address, ma’am,” Theodore said. “And I suggest that you get away from here before I summon our guards.” “No,” the woman choked out. “No. They told me that here, at the orphanage of Lucius Jan, they will agree to take my child. Who can I speak to?” She pulled a small fabric sachet out of somewhere. “To me,” Theodore said. “Only to me. And you have the wrong address. This place cannot take in another Jewish child. The problems we have with Gustav are far more than we can manage. Go. Get away.” The woman ignored him and held the little sachet between her fingers. “There is payment here for you, please...” Gustav gaped wide-eyed as the woman continued to cry. “Take him, sir, and take care of him. At least he should survive…” Theodore looked at the proffered sachet but didn’t take it. Gustav tugged at the man’s arm.
“What?” Theodore asked. “Theodore, Theodore, please...” he whispered. “Please! I promise to behave and not to make any more problems. Please, just take this boy. I’m ready to help you take care of him. His mother is so poor, so miserable. And she’s crying so much.” “It’s not your mother.” Theodore raised Gustav’s chin with his finger. “It’s a different woman, and we cannot accept her child. He’s too young. Look.” He pointed to the large bundle. “How old is he?” he snapped. “He’s already two and a half, sir,” the woman said, her tone still pleading. “He’s a quiet, calm child. He’s been living in hiding almost since he was born, and life has taught him to be disciplined and obedient. And here is all my jewelry. After the war, we’ll bring some more.” “You won’t be coming back after the war.” Theodore looked at the open expanses. “And you understand that as well as I do. But fine, we’ll take him for a trial. I hope that the trial will succeed and we won’t have to throw him out into the fields.” He took a key from his big key ring and unlocked the gate. “His name is Yosef Ludmir.” She looked at the bundle one last time. Gustav rose onto his tiptoes, but he couldn’t see a thing.
September 11, 2019 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / 67 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
The baby was wrapped very well. “Ludmir.” The package exchanged hands without another word, as did the little sachet. Theodore locked the gate again. “Now, please go,” he said, and turned his back to her. “Gustav, come with me. You’ve been standing out here for so long, you’ve done enough time for tomorrow as well.” But the child remained near the gate, and the woman on the other side didn’t leave either. She gazed silently at the man disappearing into the building, her bundle in his arms. Her breathing sounded labored. “You are a Jew,” she whispered. “I don’t know.” Gustav scowled. “That’s what they tell me, but I don’t remember.” “And you promised to help take care of him.” He nodded vigorously. The woman rummaged in her
68 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
pocket and took out a piece of paper. “I forgot to give this to the man...” She suddenly sounded very brisk and practical; she wasn’t crying at all now. “Give him this, or keep it with you and give it to Yosef when the war ends. These are his personal details, and the address of his uncle in Palestine. Maybe Yosef will eventually want to go…” Gustav didn’t understand much of what she said. He just nodded and stared at the piece of paper for a long time, gripping it in his fist. His pajamas didn’t have a pocket. She stood there for a few more seconds, murmured something in a language that Gustav did not understand, and then turned her back and began to walk off. He felt an urge to call to her not to go, to stay a bit longer, to not leave him and her baby. But his lips seemed locked together. Only his eyes took in the scene of the open fields and of the woman’s figure that grew ever
smaller as she was swallowed up by the expanse. Yerushalayim
From when she was very little, Elisheva had always loved her father’s eyes. They were large and gray and always appeared like they were sparkling when he looked at her. Tatty spoke mostly with his eyes; he hardly used his mouth. “Is your father mute?” a girl in kindergarten had once asked her. “Of course not!” Elisheva had protested. “My father is not mute at all!” “So why doesn’t he talk? Why is it that when you talk to him, he just makes motions back with his head? And why didn’t he say anything when he paid the teacher?” “He did say something!” another girl interjected. “He said thank you!” “Not true.” The first girl sounded irritated. “He didn’t say anything.”

Deep down, she’d known it was true. Her father’s voice was hardly used. He mostly remained quiet.
come to me from the hospital, and I hope she’ll be comfortable in our house.” She looked at the vase with fake flowers on the table. “But I hope she will realize the situation and understand that it’s only doable for a short time.” Her father nodded slowly. Elisheva sliced a piece of the yeast cake she’d brought and put it in front of him, but he shook his head in the negative, so she wrapped it in a napkin and placed it in the little refrigerator. Then she stood up to make him a new cup of tea. “It’s not only that,” she said suddenly, with her back to him as she fiddled with the kettle. “We’ll manage with the space, b’ezras Hashem. The burning problem right now is the bris.” “The bris?” he echoed. That was a sign that she had really taken him by surprise. “We are supposed to pay for it. And I have no idea how, because we don’t have a spare dime right now.” There was a knock at the door. “Mrs. Elisheva? It’s suppertime now. Your father has to come downstairs.” Elisheva escorted her father to the elevator, following his steps closely. Since the stroke he’d suffered two years ago, he wasn’t the same. He had come here because he’d adamantly refused to move in with his only daughter, and remaining alone wasn’t an option anymore. He’d managed on his own for the first few years after Mommy had passed away, but then, once he’d had his stroke, he’d asked to be put in a nursing home. Reb Zundel Krohn, Tatty’s neighbor from the next room, entered the elevator. “Ah, Reb Yisroel! How are you?” he asked convivially. “It’s so nice that your daughter comes to see you. When she comes, you always eat better.” He nodded his head. “But you know, we must not be dependent on our children. We are mature enough not to let our schedules and our moods be based on their plans, eh?” And he burst out laughing. Tatty smiled, and Elisheva wondered if Reb Zundel treated her father like a child because of the sixteen years in age that separated them. Her father was probably the youngest person here. But the truth was that he had always been an old man.

Mark Sanford Announces His Candidacy BACKGROUND: On Sunday, Mark Sanford announced that he would challenge President Trump for the 2020 Republican Presidential Nomination. With this announcement, Sanford became the third Republican candidate to announce a challenge to the president. Sanford formerly served as a congressman and governor of South Carolina. In 2010, the libertarian Cato Institute ranked Sanford as the best governor in
74 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
America. However, Sanford’s second term as governor was plagued with scandal. He was censured by the state House of Representatives and was forced to resign as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association. He made a modest comeback in 2013 when he won a special election for his old congressional seat in South Carolina’s first district. Sanford was supportive of Trump’s 2016 presidential bid, but quickly soured on Trump and became a vocal critic of the president’s rhetoric, governing style, and indifference to the national deficit. In 2018, Trump referred to Sanford as “very unhelpful” and “nothing but trouble.” He endorsed Sanford’s opponent in his congressional primary race, and Sanford went down in defeat. In announcing his candidacy, Sanford said that the “GOP had lost its way.” He conceded that it would
be challenging to beat Trump and that “this is the beginning of a long walk, but it begins with a first step.” Sanford criticized Trump for unchecked government spending, a ballooning deficit and record-breaking national debt. He also attacked Trump on trade, claiming that the GOP had always sought to engage with the world on trade. Sanford was also critical of Trump’s style of discourse and its effect on the national political conversation. WHY IT MATTERS: Sanford will be a thorn in Trump’s side and yet another critical voice from the right. The damage inflicted by Sanford and other Republican candidates will likely not be enough to unseat Trump. However, it may lead to an erosion of support from what is still a very loyal GOP base.
Nevada, Kansas and South Carolina GOP Cancel Presidential Primaries BACKGROUND: The Republican parties of Nevada, Kansas and South Carolina announced that they would not be holding presidential nominating contests during the 2020 election cycle. Instead, each state will automatically award all of its delegates to President Trump. Such a move is not without precedent, as states have canceled primaries in the past to protect an incumbent president. It remains to be seen how many other states will follow suit and automatically award
their delegates Trump.
to
President
WHY IT MATTERS: The can-
celation of the primaries is a preemptive move meant to avoid potential damage from insurgent candidates by insulating Trump from the critics in his own party. It is an indication that Trump may be vulnerable to criticism on the many issues that he has deviated from in regard to conservative orthodoxy. The GOP does not want Trump to have to face a Democratic candidate after a messy political fight on the right. They want to deliver a unified base that is fully supportive of his candidacy for a second term as president.
Howard Schultz Drops Independent Presidential Bid for 2020 BACKGROUND: Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will not be running for president in 2020. Schultz had previously touted the idea of challenging President Trump as a “centrist independent” in 2020. However, in June he announced that he would take a break from campaigning due to health issues, and on Friday he announced that he would not be running in 2020. In a prepared statement he said, “My belief in the need to reform our two-party system has not wavered, but I have concluded that an independent campaign for the White House is not how I can best serve our country at this time.” WHY IT MATTERS: Democrats
had feared that a well-financed independent bid with a candidate that has national name rec-
ognition would draw votes away from their candidate. Democrats are still smarting from thirdparty candidates such as Ralph Nader and Jill Stein. They blame them for taking votes away from Al Gore and Hillary Clinton in closely fought elections. Schultz’s withdrawal from the race helps them set up the 2020 election as a binary choice between President Trump and his Democratic challenger.
Foreign Policy Challenges Linger BACKGROUND: Trump abruptly canceled a previously unannounced meeting with Taliban officials at Camp David and announced that he would be open to meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Trump will likely meet with Iranian officials at the sidelines of the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly in New York. WHY IT MATTERS: Trump has
shown that he can hang tough and is willing to walk away from summits and meetings when necessary. However, Trump has also shown a propensity for showmanship. He will often trust his senses at the expense of the advice of experts. He has excused away the troubling actions of Kim Jong-Un in the name of personal chemistry. Most of all, he has failed to secure a deal on North Korea, Afghanistan or Iran. Trump campaigned on the premise that Obama was weak on foreign policy and that he would be able to clinch deals that would be much more beneficial for America. As he faces 2020, Trump will be pressed to show that he can deliver on his promise for America and her allies.

Pink Rosemarie Cake By: Miriam Paskes There’s no better way to end a meal than with a rich, decadent dessert. This three-layer cake, featuring a light, spongy bottom, a silky chocolate middle and fluffy strawberry whip on top, is a special yom tov treat!
CAKE LAYER 8 eggs, separated
1 T. vanilla sugar
¾ cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
2 T. oil
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
CHOCOLATE LAYER ½ lb. baking chocolate
2 sticks margarine
1 T. vanilla sugar
3 (3.5 oz.) bars parve Rosemarie chocolate
8 whole eggs
¼ cup ground roasted filberts — which I omit in Chodesh Elul
½–¾ cup sugar
PINK CREAM 28 oz. (1¾ containers) whip
1 packet strawberry jello
1 T. vanilla sugar
3–4 bars parve Rosemarie chocolate, curled
DIRECTIONS 1. For cake layer, preheat the oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make a stiff snow with the egg whites and 1 cup sugar. Very gently, fold in the rest of the ingredients and pour onto a prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 22–25 minutes. Allow cake to cool and then freeze for an hour. When the cake is frozen, carefully peel the parchment paper off and put a fresh piece of parchment in its place. 2. To make the chocolate layer, melt the baking chocolate, Rosemarie chocolate and margarine in a double boiler. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sugars for 2 minutes. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and filberts (if using), and mix gently. Pour this batter onto the bottom cake and bake for 25 minutes. The chocolate layer will be quite pudding-like; this is the way it should be. It will firm up as it cools. Allow cake to cool completely. 3. To make the pink cream, beat the whip until fluffy and stiff, and then fold in the vanilla sugar and jello. Smear evenly over the chocolate layer. 4. Top generously with chocolate curls.

THE BORO PARK VIEW / 97
There was a gaping hole in the New York City skyline. Where once the Twin Towers dominated the scene, their grandeur the focal point of the horizon, the smoldering ruins now lent a haziness to the conglomeration of buildings. New York was bereft, the most prominent of its symbolic structures demolished. “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” President Bush’s words on 9/11 reverberated across the country, echoing the resilience of a nation chosen for destruction as “the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity.” Because upon the shambles, the United States would rebuild.

It was never a question that the 16-acre site that lay in ruins would be reconstructed, but that was probably the only idea unanimously agreed upon in the post-9/11 weeks. While the cleanup and search efforts were still underway, with hundreds of tons of debris being removed from Ground Zero, debate erupted as the influential powers involved were divided over what exactly the future function of the World Trade Center site should be. One early proposal was that the Twin Towers should be reconstructed at a taller height than before, a project that would be called Twin Towers II. (This plan was strongly supported by Donald Trump, who
would be sponsoring the project, and one of the many names of this proposed design was Trump Twin Towers.) Others argued that out of respect for the victims and their families, the property should not be exploited as an income-generating space, but that the entire site should serve as a memorial with spaces for reflection. On the opposite end, Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, wanted to restore the 13 million square feet of “Class A” office space that was lost with the devastation of the seven-building complex. A compromise was soon reached with a basic plan that would implement several elements that would take all of those factors into consideration: a memorial, a museum, as well as six new skyscrapers for commercial and retail space. The site would be split in half, with 8 acres designated for commercial space and 8 acres for commemoration and reflection. But who would be the one to decide how the space would be allocated and designed? Which person or team
Just six weeks before the attack, Silverstein signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center after winning the bid at $3.2 billion. At that time, he also took out insurance plans from multiple insurance companies. The policies combined equaled $3.55 billion. After the attack, Silverstein claimed his insurance not once, but twice, on the basis that the two separate strikes constituted two separate occurrences within the meaning of his policy. At the end of a complicated six-year insurance battle, Silverstein walked away with $4.6 billion in claims, significantly less than the $7.1 billion he’d originally claimed, but more than the payout would be after a single occurrence.
would be the one to give the NYC skyline a new face? Anyone with a brilliant-enough plan. In November 2001, Governor George Pataki and Mayor Rudy Giuliani, joined by Mayor-elect Michael Bloomberg, appointed a group of dynamic and committed leaders — in areas of business, government and community — to serve as the Board of Directors for the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the commission that would set in motion the reconstruction of the site. At first, the LMDC sent out requests to 24 Manhattan architectural firms for design proposals, then withdrew them. In July 2002, they unveiled six concepts for reconstructing the site, all incorporating the elements that were specified in the original plans.

New Yorkers were unimpressed with the sketches. So unimpressed, in fact, that in the coming days, the LMDC fielded over 5,000 complaints and suggestions via email, with the general consensus being that the design was “poor,” “boring” and “overstuffed with office space.” Another 5,000 comments enforcing the points came from participants of a Town Hall meeting organized for the purpose, and then thousands more from visitors to an exhibition of the plans. Their voices did not go unheard, and so the commision turned to the public in August 2002, extending an invitation to innovative architects and planners from around the world to compete to design the World Trade Center site. From the submissions, five finalists would be selected to join a month-long design study, after which there’d be one winner — an in-

dividual or team — who’d be nominated as the master plan architect of One World Trade Center. Incorporating the suggestions voiced by the families of victims and the general public at large, a list of competition guidelines were set forth, detailing the elements every design submission would have to incorporate: a distinctive skyline, recognition of the original footprint of the towers, commercial and retail
space, a new street grid to connect the traffic on either side, a grand promenade, a central transit center for PATH and subway passengers, a cultural element (museum or art enclave), a memorial commemorating the victims, and open public areas of different sizes. Despite the daunting task, within a few months hundreds of submissions came pouring in from around the world. A coalition of 21
architecture, engineering, planning and design professionals, along with the LMDC commission, narrowed down the field of candidates — originally topping 2,000! — to seven semifinalists, all of whom were invited to compete to be the historical master plan architect. In December of 2002, all seven semifinalists presented their entries to the public. Have a look at their proposals.

both create a symbolic skyline addition, yet retain a marketable office tower. Libeskind’s architectural flourishes fell away, and he scored only one victory: The Freedom Tower would stand 1,776 feet tall.
AND THE WINNER! Daniel Libeskind, Polish-American architect, known for designing the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany, as well as other impressive structures
Libeskind’s design was packed with symbolism. The proposed building stood at 1,776 feet tall to represent the year America gained their independence, and the tall, asymmetrical spire detached from the main building to echo the raised torch of the Statue of Liberty. But, wait. One World Trade Center doesn’t even resemble this design... Because both Gov. Pataki’s original name — Freedom Tower — and Libeskind’s original design would be tampered with before the project would come to fruition. In fact, by the time Libeskind was announced the winner of
the design competition, Larry Silverstein, who as leaseholder owned the right to hire the architect, had already commissioned David Childs from Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (the designers of the Willis Tower and the Burj Khalifa) to carry out his more commercial vision. What followed were months of debate and design tweaks to Libeskind’s plan as the team tried to find a middle ground that would
THE COMPETITIONS didn’t end there. In April 2003, The Word Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was launched. As an open competition, anyone from across the world was invited to submit their design for a memorial to remember and honor victims of the 2001 and 1993 attacks, in accordance to the specifications of Daniel Libeskind. A selection jury was announced — it included artists, architects, family members of victims, as well as politicians and a member of the Rockefeller family, the influencers behind the original Twin Towers. The wheels started churning in the greatest design minds, and even in those of amateur artists, and the contest garnered a huge response: 5,201 entries from 63 nations and 49 out of the 50 states, making it the largest design competition in history. The entries are all still available for viewing.

Designers Michael Arad and Peter Walker presented the refined memorial design, Reflecting Absence, at a press conference at Federal Hall on Wednesday, January 14, 2004.
The winner, Reflecting Absence, was revealed on January 14, 2004. In the words of the jury of the competition, “In its powerful, yet simple articulation of the footprints of the Twin Towers, Reflecting Absence has made the voids left by the destruction the primary symbols of our loss. It is a memorial that expresses both the incalculable loss of life and its consoling renewal, a place where all of us come together to remember from generation to generation.” By 2009, the name was officially changed from Freedom Tower, since potential renters were afraid to sign a contract in a politically named building. One World Trade Center proved to be a lot more renter-friendly. Currently, the asking price for rent ranges from $72 to $85 per rentable square foot. That means that the smallest office (4,719 square feet) now for rent at the lowest price ($72 per square foot), has an asking rent of $28,314 per month, or $339,768 per year. One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States and in the entire Western Hemisphere, and is the sixth-tallest building in the world. Its height, including its spire, is 1,776 feet. The observatory deck begins at 1,362 feet, the former height of the south tower, and the glass parapet extends to 1,368 feet, the former height of the north tower. One World Trade Center has a cubic base. Its edges form eight isosceles triangles. Near its middle, the tower forms a perfect octagon. Today, the Manhattan skyline once again has a focal point. One World Trade Center gracefully soars up into the sky, the sun reflecting off the angled sides of this symbol of remembrance, reflection — and renewal.
Ground Zero was still a disaster zone when the flick of a switch brought the first 9/11 commemoration to life. Two ethereal vertical columns of light, an effect achieved by the strategic placement of 88 searchlights, dominated the Manhattan sky from March 11, 2002, until April 14, 2002. The Tribute in Light was turned on again on September 11, 2003, and has been lit up on the anniversary of that fateful fall day since. A crew of about 30 technicians, electricians and stagehands pre-
pare the display in the week leading up to September 11. With precision, they aim each spotlight straight at the sky — for the effect is ruined if even one spotlight is off by a fraction of a degree — while spotters in Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey call in with adjustments until the display is perfect. On a clear night, this iconic symbol, which both honors the victims and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of our country, can be seen even 60 miles away.

9/11: Is there a date from recent history more seared into the American conscience than this? For New Yorkers, especially, 9/11 brings back the haunting memory of the World Trade Center collapse, a moment in time that redefined every American’s relationship with their country. While Taliban adherents rejoiced as the Twin Towers crumpled into a burning heap of downed humanity and twisted metal, citizens steeled their resolve: Terror would not prevail. As one, New York citizens surged forward to locate, evacuate and treat victims of the attack. Part and parcel of the search-andrescue mission were many Jewish first responders. “My father was there when the first tower fell,” Chaim Mandel tells me when we speak. His father, the renowned Flatbush Hatzolah paramedic Reb Beinish Mandel, a”h, had rushed to Manhattan as soon as he’d heard that a plane had hit the north tower. “He was across the street when the first tower fell and was saved when he jumped into a fire truck.”
108 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
The clouds of smoke and debris enveloped everything, obscuring vision and making breathing difficult. “At first, they couldn’t even see that the tower fell.” And then disaster struck again, only 29 minutes later. “When the second tower fell, my father was part of a pile of people who jumped onto one another, saving each other with their own bodies.” With the intentional downing of the Twin Towers, the United States devolved into a state of emergency, and citizens near and far wrung their hands in distress, praying for positive outcomes in the fate of loved ones. On the streets of Manhattan, however, chaos reigned; hand-wringing was a luxury one could ill afford. Covered in soot, breathing through clothing as makeshift filters, and cut off from the world, those who had been in the immediate vicinity at the time of the attacks sought nothing more than escape. But with the city on

lockdown, public transportation was immobilized, and the only way out was on foot. It would be hours before many were able to contact their families, and months before the area would return to it’s new “normal” — both the people and the land forever changed by an unforgivable act of terror. In the weeks following the attack, Ground Zero continued to swarm with volunteers, first searching for the still-living buried beneath the rubble, and later retrieving the remains of those who didn’t make it. Search-and-rescue dogs wandered endlessly upon the piles made of broken buildings and broken bodies, sniffing for the scent of human beings. Their nostrils, eyes and paw pads needed frequent washing to rid them of the thick dust that coated everything. The humans fared little better. Despite federal regulations requiring recovery workers to be outfitted with respirators, few carried them and only some wore them. At that point, the local populace had little concern for the quality of the air, having been reassured by Mayor Rudy Giuliani, "The air is safe, as far as we can tell, with respect to chemical and biological agents." Not much later, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Christine Todd Whitman, announced in a press release,

THE VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND 9/11-related illnesses take many forms, though cancer is one of the most deadly. It is estimated that at least 40,000 people who were in Manhattan near the World Trade Center at the time of the attack or in the weeks following suffer from a 9/11-related illness. To this end, the Victim Compensation Fund was established to provide funding for healthcare expenses and compensation for sufferers. More than $7 billion was initially paid to families of the 9/11 victims and the nearly 3,000 people who were injured that fateful day, but it wasn’t until 2011 that the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was passed, enabling first responders and other survivors of the terror attack to seek funding for their damaged health. The fund was to be discontinued in December of 2020, but President Trump signed a law in July of this year that authorizes the fund to continue functioning through 2092.
“We are very encouraged that the results from our monitoring of air quality and drinking water conditions in both New York and near the Pentagon show that the public in these areas is not being exposed to excessive levels of asbestos or other harmful substances." But with more than 1.5 million tons of debris removed from Ground Zero during the cleanup operation, the truth was actually far grimmer than had been relayed to the public. Most of the dust was made of pulverized concrete, but building materials such as glass were found to be in high concentration as well. Additionally, noxious jet fuel, burnt plastic and chemicals used in the buildings contributed to the air quality and dust composition. Importantly, the first 40 floors of the Twin Towers had been constructed with steel beams that had been sprayed with asbestos-laden fireproofing material before regulations were tightened regarding its use. The truth was that breathing the air was far from safe... “It was Chol Hamoed Pesach 2006 when my father began to feel unwell. The first symptom was pain in his back. Being a highly skilled paramedic, he knew when it was time to see a doctor,” Chaim Mandel tells me. He describes the vast network of medical professionals Reb Beinish had been in contact with, the result of 35 years’ worth of involvement with Hatzolah. With his effervescent personality, the paramedic had established close relationships with many doctors. “It’s hard for a son to put into words how special his father was,” Mr. Mandel says. “He was a very, very special man. When he gave shalom aleichem, it
112 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
THE SMOKE FROM THE TWIN TOWERS WAS VISIBLE FROM OUTER SPACE.
was always with two hands. He made people feel cared for.” Beinish Mandel made an impression wherever he went. He was the type of person who embodied what it meant to fulfill the dictum of sever panim yaffos. As his son tells me, “Someone in shul encapsulated it very well, saying, ‘Beinish is not just a name; it’s a middah!’” For this reason, community members, the gedolim who’d call him for health-related issues and physicians all trusted his skill and felt uplifted by his positivity. So when Reb Beinish needed medical help himself, he found that doors opened wide. “My father’s friend was the Chief of Radiology at Peninsula General Hospital in Far Rockaway, and he was able to get him in for an MRI right away. The scan revealed that there were tumors in his back, in his spine.” The diagnosis was lymphoma, courtesy of 9/11. Reb Beinish Mandel had spent three weeks at Ground Zero, assisting recovery efforts together with his close friend Shlomo Zackheim, founder of Metropol-
itan Ambulance and fellow Hatzolah paramedic. Like many other 9/11 rescue personnel, Reb Zackheim, a”h, also succumbed to a dread disease, though his diagnosis came later than, and his passing before, Reb Beinish’s. They were both a young 59 when niftar. To date, nearly 10,000 people have been diagnosed with a 9/11-linked cancer. “When my father first received his diagnosis, his reaction was, ‘Now I’ll be able to help people even better, knowing what they’re actually going through.’ He took the diagnosis as a siman that the Ribono Shel Olam was telling him that he needed to really feel the tza’ar of others to be able to help them at the highest level.” Reb Beinish spent his entire life not only saving others, but uplifting them as well. “He was always busy being m’chazek others with illness, specifically those with cancer. He’d accompany them to treatments to calm their fear. That’s just who was. Even when he was shvach, he’d still speak to people on the phone, encouraging them, infusing them with
September 11, 2019 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / 113 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
faith and helping them avoid depression.” Reb Beinish made it part of his life’s mission to prevent depression from overwhelming both himself and others. Chaim Mandel tells me about a dear friend of his who’d also been diagnosed with cancer. “My father planned to visit him in Baltimore, saying that he couldn’t guarantee how long my friend’s life span would be, but one thing he could guarantee was that my friend wouldn’t die of depression on his watch! “My father was a wonderful friend to many, and people would confide in him,” Mr. Mandel tells me. “And he was tight-lipped, too. Whatever someone told him remained in him.” To illustrate this fact, Mr. Mandel tells me of a letter his mother received during the shivah. “The letter-writer wrote about all the many ways my father helped her, but it was how she signed the letter that was most notable. She wrote, ‘I’m not even going to sign my name because only Hashem, my doctor and your husband even knew that I am sick.’” For ten and a half years, Reb Beinish battled with cancers; first he fought lymphoma, and then growths in the G.I. tract. As part of his hishtadlus, he traveled the world over to consult with the top physicians,
leaving no stone unturned. His own network of physicians entwined with that of his dear friend’s, the famed Rabbi Firer of Ezra LeMarpeh in Eretz Yisroel. “He sought out the best, and though there are many good doctors, he chose a ben Torah as his physician, the oncologist Michael Bashevkin. While he had many options, he wanted someone who was both skilled and had yiras Shamayim.” During the decade-long illness, Beinish Mandel viewed every day as a gift, maintaining that he was supposed to have been dead twice over. “My father’s hashkafah was that he was supposed to die on 9/11, not once, but twice, with the falling of each tower. But because of the chesed he’d done in the past, and the chesed he’d do in the future, he felt he was gifted extra years.” The truth is, though, that it is we, as a community, who were gifted those extra years of having such a special person in our midst. And even now that he has fallen, he continues to uplift. We can all learn something from the way Reb Beinish Mandel devoted his life to others, and in some way, we can all take upon ourselves to be just a bit like Beinish. Dedicated in memory of Reb Beinish Mandel, a"h, and all volunteers who risked life and limb in the rescue and recovery efforts of 9/11.

Many of us have grown up with the images of September 11 ingrained in our minds. Only a passing mention of that fateful day reminds us of the horrific scenes, and the feeling of our hearts pounding in fear at the thought of yet another devastating attack. Yet from the horror of that day, another idea emerged. While the world mainly focused on the acts of terror, there were also loving messages to be gleaned — because Hashem’s guiding Hand is everywhere, even in scenes of utter destruction and terror. Along with the dreadful events of 9/11 came stories of great miracles. There are so many people who should have been — or actually were — at the site and were miraculously saved. Some of the amazing accounts are well-known: people who were saved because of a missed bus, a delayed train, a child feeling unwell, and so on. Then there were Hatzolah members who survived because they decided to set up their command posts outside the building instead of in the lobby of the second tower, as other ambulance crews had. For one Hatzolah member, a different miracle was revealed
118 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

when he emerged unscathed from an ambulance he had ducked into as the tower fell, while the ambulance next to it was completely crushed. What may have looked like coincidence, or even inconvenience, brought about enormous miracles. Below are three more stories illustrating Hashem’s chesed even within these dark moments. ARI SCHONBRUN was an executive at Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company that occupied the top five floors in Tower One. Sadly, the firm lost 658 of its 960 employees in the 9/11 attack. When the tower was hit, Ari was on the 78th floor instead of at his desk due to a 20-minute delay at home. He had promised to help his son with a Scholastic book order sale, and his decision to take care of it that morning led to the first miracle of his survival. But it didn’t stop there. Still inside Tower One, Ari met a coworker who was badly injured with third degree burns and needed his assistance to climb down the 78 flights to safety. When they reached the ground, Ari sought medical assistance for his injured coworker and wanted to reenter the tower to find more of his colleagues. His coworker, however, adamantly refused to let him go, instructing the paramedics not to leave unless he’d accompany them in the ambulance. Reluctantly, Ari agreed. A short while later, the building collapsed. Ari was saved twice on that day, and in the months that followed, he made a point to internalize the miracles instead of letting them merely slip by. Before the attack, his main focus in life had been his job. Now, he explained, his focus shifted to his family and to strengthening his faith in Hashem. While Ari’s story is widely known, there are many other miraculous occurrences not yet shared with the public. MIRAM ENGEL* worked for a company located several blocks from the Twin Towers. At the time, Miriam would often bring to work kosher baked goods and groceries from Brooklyn for her boss, who was slowly adapting to a religious lifestyle. On the morning of September 11, Miriam arrived in Manhattan carrying not only heavy bags of kosher food, but also passports that needed to be renewed, as she and her husband were planning to travel to Eretz Yisroel. Before heading to her office, she stopped at a nearby post office to take care of the passports.
120 / THE BORO PARK VIEW
There she was told that if she wanted on-the-spot service, she was better off renewing them at the World Trade Center post office. After contemplating her options, Miriam decided that since she was carrying heavy bags — and since her husband was scheduled to be in Manhattan that afternoon, and he’d be able to take care of the passport renewals — she would go straight to her office. It was when she was finally settling down in her office that Miriam was startled by a thunderous crash — the sound of a plane ramming into a building. She soon learned that Tower One had been attacked. Looking back, she marvels over the fact that the purpose of those bags of kosher food was only to save her life. ANOTHER AMAZING STORY was told by Rabbi Yehuda Kravitz, who was the head of kashrus at the OU at the time of the attacks. His office was located a few blocks away from the Twin Towers, and when Tower One collapsed, he was walking from the train to his office. “It was a total blackness,” he says. “The city was covered with thick layers of ash. You could not even see your hand in front of you.” In the suffocating dark, he heard people calling out for help. He had no idea where he was going, but he called out to them to follow his voice. Suddenly, Rabbi Kravitz reached a door. Whispering the words “Ein od milvado,” he banged on the door until someone opened it. The door turned out to lead to the basement of a bank. After the group entered, Rabbi Kravitz asked the employee who’d opened the door what he’d been doing in the basement. The man told him that while he’d been evacuating the higher floors, he’d had a sudden feeling that someone was in the basement and decided to go check out the space. It was at that moment that he’d heard the banging, just in time to provide them with shelter. The miracles woven into the tragic events of September 11 were clearly sparks of chesed — the Hand of Hashem saving His children amid horrific circumstances. Because even in the hardest of times, He is always there — guiding, helping and running His world in a way that is ultimately for our best.

“Shoes off! This way! Place everything into the tray.” “Coat off. Put all food in this tray. No, not the laptop; that should be separate!” Passengers hurriedly unzip their luggage, shrug off their outerwear, and place all of their belongings into the tray, scrambling to do the bidding of the TSA officers who rush them along, silently grumbling at the annoyance. So overwhelmed are they by submitting their goods and chattels for checking that they sometimes forget that TSA agents are only doing their job in order to keep them safe. It hasn’t always been like this. It was in 2002 that the TSA was established in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Within 12 months, security screeners were hired at some 450 commercial airports. In 2002, the Department of Homeland Secu-
124 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / September 11, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770
rity was established, and oversight of the TSA was transferred to them in 2003. From that point and on, checking in for a flight turned into an ordeal. And if it’s tedious and stressful for passengers, how much more so for the agents who oversee these screenings... LIFE AS A TSA AGENT is far from glorious, and there are plenty of reasons on which to blame the high employee turnover rates in this field. The perpetual stress these officers are under as they prepare for danger and stay on alert; the rigorous training they undergo, together with performance reviews where they have to do mock
screenings for supervisors; and the negative attitude they absorb from passengers, wear them down. Many TSA agents won’t even reveal what their real job is when asked, and instead answer vaguely that they work in security! And despite working in airports, it’s all work and no perks. TSA officers get none of the flying benefits that other airline employees enjoy.
On the Alert To keep their eyes on the ball, TSA agents get moved to different stations throughout the day, because doing the same thing can cause employee error — one can start to miss things even after only 30 minutes on the same task. In a given day an agent may be a security guard, X-ray operator, tray commander and the guy who yells at you to take off your shoes.
What is THE TSA looking for? At security checks, check-in and hand baggage checks, agents are trained to pick up on suspicious behavior and problems with IDs, and to find explosives, firearms or other contraband in baggage and on a person’s self. Behind the scenes, they also deal with the thousands of checked-in baggage to make sure they
don’t pose any danger. TSA marshals also patrol the skies, flying undercover on many flights, especially when a passenger on a flight is tagged as potentially suspicious.
An Inside View The first stop for checked baggage is the CTX machine, which uses conventional X-ray technology as well as a CT scanner to slice beams through each piece of luggage, determining the density and volume of contents.
Some Secrets of the Trade Have Your Drink and Keep It Too Do you have a specific drink you absolutely must have? You can freeze it solid in its original bottle and make sure it stays frozen solid until check-in, and it should pass.
cember of 2010 when India’s ambassador to the United States was pulled aside for a pat-down in a Mississippi airport because of traditional Indian wear. The response from India was strong, and the ambassador said that she is not planning to return to the United States.
There are also some exceptions to the 3-1-1 liquid rule (as the 3.4 oz, or 100 ML, limit on liquids is known) when traveling with an infant.
Dress Down Elaborate hairstyles are probably not the best idea when flying, since a hair search may be required for any hairdos or head coverings large enough to hide something in. There are also many accessories you should leave at home or check in with your baggage when flying, like hair bands, belts and anything else containing metal. The TSA had an embarrassing hour of fame in De-
THE BORO PARK VIEW / 125
THE PAST YEAR at a Glance 813,791,287 passengers and crew members passed through TSA screening. 4,239 firearms were discovered, averag-
ing 81.6 firearms per week, and 11.6 firearms per day. Among them, 3,656 were loaded.
Firearms were intercepted at 249 of the 440 federalized U.S. airports.
Across the country, the TSA employs over 47,000 Transportation Security Officers.
Some other prohibited items discovered in 2018:
These items were discovered during bag checks: a scissors and knife wrapped in foil hidden in the lining of a suitcase; a knife hidden inside a medicine bottle; a knife hidden inside a comb; and a gun wrapped in a static shield bag.
Smile to the Camera Even though getting through security can be very frustrating, be on your best behavior and stay positive. In addition to basic mentchlichkeit concerns, TSA officers may not only put nasty passengers through additional screening, but also make sure they get a pat-down at each checkpoint, and may even deliberately place them on the flight near a noisy family! TSA agents prefer passengers on evening flights, who are exhausted and are a lot more cooperative than perky morning passengers. Agents have confessed to having code words with

The device also alerts screeners to anything it can’t see through: laptop computers, cameras, cell phones, oxygen tanks, thick textbooks — and yes, that is why these things need to be removed from hand luggage prior FYI: What happens to to scanning. the items like knives, If anything susspears and lotions that picious comes up in passengers discard at either hand luggage check-in? They’re not or checked luggage, simply dumped; many a manual search will of them get sold, and ensue to determine some are collected by if there’s a concern. the TSA screeners. One TSA agent reported hearing a ticking sound in a suitcase. He placed the luggage on a metal examination table and swabbed the surface with an explosive trace detector. When the result showed negative, he unzipped it and started going through a jumble of clothes, but nothing explained the ticking! Most mysterious of all was that it stopped each time the luggage was lifted and resumed when it was set down. Finally feeling around the lining, he held up the culprit: an electric toothbrush that went on each time it was pressed against the table.
which they describe people to the agents around them and at the next point. So if you hear a TSA officer saying “very nice” or shouting out a number to another employee or into their radios, it may just be a code word to tell them that you are annoying and they should subject you to additional screening. If you hear the word “tulips,” know that you are being referred to as someone who opted out of X-ray machines. You see, most of these agents do not enjoy giving a pat-down any more than a passenger likes to receive one. Behavior Detection Officers are trained to look out for suspicious behaviors. These include too much yawning, fidgeting, rocking or staring, so act calm to avoid being flagged for additional screening.

The Skyscraper Story In an entirely new architectural concept, William Jenney created a structure with metal frames during the late 1880s — and the phenomenon of high-rise buildings was born! The invention of the elevator helped this new model take off. The first high-rise tower was the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, built in 1885. The greatest concentration of early skyscrapers was found in Chicago and New York City. Skyscrapers were originally designed for commercial use, but with population explosions in urban areas, the concept was soon applied to residential housing as well.
The World’s 10 Tallest Skyscrapers
A skyscraper is classified as a high-rise building with at least 40 floors and a height of at least 492 feet. Some also consider buildings with a minimum height of 262 feet skyscrapers, providing that they stand out above surrounding structures and impact the skyline.
1. Burj Khalifa Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 2716.5 feet, 828 meters 2. Shanghai Tower Shanghai, China, 2070 feet, 632 meters 3. Makkah Clock Tower Mecca, Saudi Arabia, 1972 feet, 601 meters 4. Ping An Finance Centre Shenzhen, China, 1970 feet, 599 meters 5. Lotte World Tower Seoul, South Korea, 1820 feet, 555 meters 6.

Recreation September 3 is National Skyscraper Day! Some people celebrate the architectural geniuses behind these tall towers by climbing (or taking the elevators) to the top. The Vertical World Circuit hosts international races up the staircases of some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. “Buildering” is the term used for the dangerous activity of climbing the exterior of buildings. People are most commonly sighted buildering at night, as it often involves trespassing.
Fascinating Facts The Intempo skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain, is a residential high-rise with 47 floors and no elevators. The Empire State Building was built in 410 days. It takes 37 seconds to travel from the 5th floor to the 89th floor in the ultra-quick elevators of Taipei 101. There are 2,909 steps in the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. This means a climb to the top would take approximately 97 hours!
Ready, Set, Go! The Race Is On… Soon after the first skyscrapers were designed, there was a scramble to grace the skyline with the tallest building. Tall buildings symbolize strength, superiority and modernity — the primary reasons for the chase.
The Chrysler Building in Midtown Manhattan and the Manhattan Trust Bank Building at 40 Wall Street were under construction simultaneously. Very aware of the skyscraper going up nearby, the architect of the Chrysler Building announced that his building would rise 925 feet high, prompting the builders of the 40 Wall Street building to adjust their plans, raising their peak to 927 feet high. Then, in a surprise move, the engineers at the Chrysler Building raised a spire they had secretly constructed within the dome, just as the 40 Wall Street building was completed. This brought the total height to 1,046 feet, which marked it as the world’s tallest building.
The title didn’t last long, however. Just eleven months later, it was superseded by the Empire State Building.
Built in 1931, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for close to 40 years. The first World Trade Center tower seized the title in 1970.
More recently, the global race to reach greater heights intensified in a second wave of competition. Since 2000, skyscraper construction increased by more than 400 percent!
Ironically, despite being the first to start the competition, today New York City lags behind in the global race to the sky.
Slated for completion in 2020, the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is expected to be the world’s tallest building at 3,304 feet high.
