A CLEANSING AND DETOXIFYING CENTER FOR A HEATHIER YOU

Hocatt OZONE Steam Sauna “I love Hocatt. Since I tried it, I didn’t want to stop. After a treatment in the Hocatt, my energy increases so much. I feel lighter and I can do things I haven’t been able to do for a long time. My skin absorbs so much ozone which helps my body kill all the stuff that shouldn’t be there. At the same time, it cleans up all the bad things and takes them out of the body through sweat. It really is an amazing experience and it helps me more than double my progress to full health.”

Real people, real stories.

At Your Health Success, we know you may have questions about the effectiveness of our holistic wellness plans.

For many facing chronic pain, fatigue, or weight issues, our mission, approach, and techniques sound like the magic cure they’ve been searching for—but how can you know if these holistic wellness therapies actually work?

Well, we have proof from people just like you: men, women, and teens who struggled with painful challenges for years before finding healing and relief in holistic health.

Read their stories in their own words. Hear their voices. And find out how holistic wellness worked for them. Who knows? You may be the one writing our next success story.

Lymphatic Drainage Pressotherapy Massage “The results? Amazing! While I definitely felt like my clothes were a bit looser than normal after my first two sessions, a friend I hadn’t seen in a few weeks said I looked like I had lost a lot of weight (without knowing I had been doing anything different), and some co-workers remarked that my skin was glowing. After one treatment, I lost 0.75 of an inch from my arms and lost an inch from my body. At the end of my trial period, I lost a total of 7.75 inches: 2.5 inches around my waist; 2.25 inches around from my arms and 3 inches from everywhere else!”

T. F. “I’ve had two treatments so far and have noticed that gone is that sluggish, bloated, yucky feeling I had beforehand. My legs and feet feel lighter, too. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who’s prone to water retention or bloating—especially if you have an important event to attend the next day.”

Leah Gross

H. L.

“The HOCATT – WOW! I’ve had numerous HOCATT treatments and have seen many benefits! It has helped increase circulation (which my legs really need due to Poliomyelitis). I feel an increase in my energy levels, and I’ve also lost weight. I like the way the seat is adjustable to my height and the seat is very comfortable for the 30-minute session. I also appreciate the staff that consistently monitors the temperature, time and blood pressure and makes sure I am well hydrated! Thank you!”

Suri W. Williamsburg, NY

“I love it!! From the first time I was in it, I knew it was for me.

I immediately felt rejuvenated and heightened energy with overall relaxation. The steam with the hint of ozonated air allowed me to breathe deeply into my lungs. My skin was so soft and cleansed. During the series of treatments, I began noticing more inner strength and vitality, and I realized this is a great way to gently detox my whole body. This treatment plan caused an increased improvement each week that I have never seen before. Even my tumors were healing! I have had my own personal ozonated hot tub and sauna in the past and prefer The Hocatt due to its gentleness on my body. I highly recommend this treatment to everyone.”

Mother of five children

“I had no energy – even to open emails. I did the Hocatt plus other treatments and last night I walked on the beach for over an hour! Before that – I had to actually go to bed just to gather enough energy to do my daily activities.”

M. T. Staten Island, NY

Holistic Coaching “I was suffering from a chronic condition for many years. After finding YHS, I have a new lease on life. My pain and inflammation is way down thanks to the services they provide. I can get out of bed and live again now where before every day was a challenge.

I sincerely thank the staff and facility.”

LOOK THE OTHER WAY! (Re: And Everyone Was Gawking, Issue 08) Thank you to Ruchy Reese for another job well done. I’m sure some people were shaking their heads while reading the article and thinking, “Isn’t this common knowledge? Do people actually have to be told to move away?” But sadly, we actually can’t take it for granted that everyone naturally has these inclinations. Being a sibling of a family member with medical issues, I know too well the pain of having the whole neighborhood around my parents’ home as my sibling is whisked away by Hatzolah. I know what it feels like when nosy neighbors ask what happened. Do I ask you what happened when I see you running after a missed bus? What makes it acceptable after a Hatzolah visit?

(Re: Your Voice, Issue 08) Dear Neighbor Down the Hall, I read your letter, and I must say that I feel very bad for you. I know people down the hall, down the block, in the store — and just about anywhere — facing the same problem. May I ask you if this issue arises in other areas of your life and with other people, too — and not just with neighbors?

This would not happen to me, and not because I don’t have such neighbors. If saying no is a weak point for you, you may need to learn

to be more firm. It may not be easy, but if you want a quiet afternoon, realize that it’s up to you. You can’t change that neighbor, but you can change yourself. It’s up to you to tell your young neighbor that he “can’t play here now” when the time is not convenient for you. It’s also up to you to teach the child to “please knock, and don’t come in before I say that you can.”

And why is your door unlocked to begin with?

You finished off your letter by requesting that your neighbor please ask your permission before sending a kid over. You are right; people should really do that. But I wonder if you can tell the mother no before you learn to tell her child no.

I feel your pain and wish I can come to your building to help you out, but know that the best help would be if you learn how to say no. Saying yes means saying no to yourself and your kids. So look at it this way: Every time you say no to the neighbor, you’re saying yes to your family at that same moment. Maybe that thought will make it easier for you to set healthy boundaries!

B.L.

Dear Neighbor Down the Hall, I read your letter of frustration, and I just want to tell you that I’ve been there too. I also live in an apartment building with all kinds of neighbors, and I’ve had neighbors’ children coming in unannounced and riling up my own kids, which I really didn’t appreciate. (On the other hand when I sent my kids out to a neighbor, it was really nice to get some work done in the house…) This went on for a few years until I once had a really unpleasant experience with a neighbor’s child. After that incident, I learned to put my foot down and say, “Now is not a good time” when I felt it was too much. Now, dear neighbor, you can admit that saying no is hard, but here are some things to keep in mind to make it easier: 1. When you walk into your house, lock the door. If anyone wants to come in, they’ll have to knock or ring the bell. Then you can decide whether or not to let them in.

2. There is nothing wrong with sending neighbors home after a while.

3. And don’t forget to be grateful that your kids have neighbors to play with!

Hatzlacha!

YOUR VOICE A PUBLIC LETTER OF THANKS Our family experienced tremendous nissim on Chol Hamoed Sukkos, when our minivan was involved in a multi-car accident on the Verrazano Bridge. Aside from using this forum as a means to publicly thank Hashem, as we are instructed: “Yodu la’Hashem chasdo v’niflaosav livnei adam,” there are two timeless messages that we’ve gleaned from this incident, and I’d like to share them.

First, though it was obvious that Hashem was in that car with us, and our experience has evoked strong feelings of gratitude and joy, it behooves us to realize that each and every time a family returns home from anywhere with their lives and limbs intact, there is reason to celebrate! One’s car does not have to be smashed to smithereens in order to acknowledge Hashem’s Presence and His chesed in keeping us all safe. Our every move is a nes, and we must keep thanking Him! Our story has also taught us firsthand what it means to be part of Hashem’s incredible nation. It was awe-inspiring to witness how absolutely natural it is for Yidden to offer help to and accept help from people we’ve never met before. I hesitate to use the term “strangers,” for we are all part of one family, but the bridge was full of people we did not know who so selflessly stepped in and helped us out in our time of need. (And needless to say, Hatzolah were the first responders! It almost seemed as if they had been warned of the accident ahead of time, and stood all ready, waiting to step in!) The level of caring went way beyond the superficial “Do you need help?” as people offered candies and drinks to calm our crying children and jackets to keep them warm. One very sweet girl even offered to accompany my seven-yearold in the ambulance, as she had hurt her foot and I had to stay behind with my baby!

In the chaos, we did not even get to exchange names or phone numbers, and so I have no way to thank all of these unbelievable individuals. I do hope that by penning these words, my message will get through to the right parties. Know that you’ve warmed our hearts and made our experience more bearable, even beautiful. And though it may seem cliched, there’s no better way to say it: Mi k’amcha Yisroel!

Parshas

Vayeira By: Malka Schneps

“I’ve been invited to join the Rosh Yeshivah’s Circle,” confided Mendy to his friends Yehudah, Avi and Yossi. The Rosh Yeshivah’s Circle was a small, exclusive group of bachurim who learned together every day and enjoyed a private shiur with their rosh yeshivah once a week. “It’s a tremendous honor, but it comes with a price. On the one hand, it would be an amazing opportunity to deepen my learning and to develop a closer relationship with the rosh yeshivah. On the other hand, I would really miss my friends.”

Avi and Yossi immediately spoke out against the idea, secretly fearing the changes in their relationship that would inevitably follow. They did not want to lose their friend, and they knew that no matter how good their intentions might be for maintaining their closeness, it was only a matter of time until their friendship would start fading into memory. They were also saddened to think that they would not have the same opportunity of developing a closer relationship with their rosh yeshivah.

“Why would you want to join the Rosh Yeshivah’s

Circle?” questioned Avi. “I’ve heard that those bachurim have more rules than the regular talmidim. I don’t know if that’s for you.”

“I agree,” chimed in Yossi.

“Besides, weren’t you the one who always said a person should make learning a priority no matter what his circumstances? You don’t need to join that group to learn.

Look at how well you’re learning now! How do you know you’ll learn just as well there?

I say that if you’re doing so

Mendy to join the Rosh Yeshivah’s Circle, Yehudah was invited to join as well. Yehudah’s maggid shiur told him that they had narrowed the next selection down to a few bachurim, but when they heard how Yehudah had encouraged Mendy to join and why, they realized that Yehudah truly treasured learning for the right reasons and had the fine middos to put his friend’s needs ahead of his own. And this proved, more than anything, that he was the right candidate.

This week’s parsha begins, “Vayeira eilav Hashem b’eilonei Mamrei… — Hashem appeared to him in the plains of Mamrei.”

Rashi explains that Hashem appeared to Avraham Avinu in the plains of Mamrei because Mamrei was the one who advised Avraham to proceed with having a bris, whereas Aner and Eshkol had advised him against it. The Sfas Emes explains that Aner, Eshkol and Mamrei all realized that once Avraham would make a bris, he would be connected to Hashem in a special relationship that would, by default, exclude them — but only Mamrei rose above his feel-

well, you shouldn’t make any changes.”

“I disagree,” asserted Yehudah. “Mendy, don’t let this opportunity slip away. I’ll miss you most, since we’re not only friends the longest, but also chavrusos… but I still think you should grab this amazing opportunity. The bachurim in the Rosh Yeshivah’s Circle really do shteig, and many of them go on to be big talmidei chachamim.

I say go for it!”

Not long after advising

ings to speak up for what was right.

Similarly, many friends feel a twinge of pain when their friends get engaged, knowing that the special, exclusive relationship that their friend will soon develop with their spouse will exclude them. Their friend’s heart will now be bound to another in a very deep fashion that can allow no others entry.

These left-behind friends sometimes even lament that their former best friend now seems to have little time for them. The exclusion is circumstantial, not personal, but it hurts. Even so, these friends do encourage one another to marry when the time comes, knowing it is right and wanting the best for their friends even at their own expense.

This is what Mamrei did.

Mamrei knew that Avraham would be leaving him behind once he joined into a special bris with Hashem, but he still encouraged Avraham to go forward. And it is for that very reason that Hashem revealed Himself to Avraham in Mamrei’s land. Mamrei was thus rewarded with not only the zechus of having Hashem’s revelation take place in his land, but also by having his name immortalized in the Torah.

The Sfas Emes notes that Mamrei put Hashem’s honor before his own, and this brought Mamrei closer to Hashem — in accordance with the teaching of Chazal that a person who seeks to increase Hashem’s honor even at the expense of his own honor will see his own honor increased. Mamrei did not allow fear of loss or exclusion, nor jealousy, to cloud his advice to Avraham regarding the bris. The result was that Mamrei himself came closer to Hashem. We never lose out by doing what is right.

Rain is wet.

Bacteria are both beneficial and harmful.

The Torah is mi’Sinai.

These are some of the things we know to be true, based upon the three-pronged litmus test through which the Rambam requires us to examine the claims of the world. He writes that we must ask ourselves about everything: 1. Is this claim easily substantiated by man’s physical senses?

2. Is this claim backed by accepted science?

3. Is there a long-held mesorah upon which this claim lies?

Being a skeptic whom life has taught to reject “magi-

cal thinking” and non-Jewish modalities that rely a healer’s power to “control energy,” ayin hara had always been a questionable topic to me. I’d always held the concept at arm’s length, having heard various opinions about its validity. Never before had I actually examined the mesorah of ayin hara.

And then, one day, I did. And I was surprised at what I found.

Allow me to demystify this vastly misunderstood part of our tradition, with great thanks to Rabbi Yossi Spitzer of Einy Yeshuah, who is a veritable font of information.

IS THERE AN ACTUAL SOURCE IN THE TORAH FOR AYIN HARA? When I first posed this question to Rabbi Spitzer, I was readily assured that pages upon pages can be filled with sources from the Tanach, Gemara, Mishnayos, and even everyday halacha that provide evidence for the existence of ayin hara.

Here are but a few examples that are taken from the Chumash itself.

In the Midbar In Parshas Ki Sisa, Moshe Rabbeinu is commanded to “take” a census of Bnei Yisroel, which Targum Onkelos explains to mean as the physical act of using coins to represent the people, rather than counting them one by one. Rashi explains that the end of the pasuk where Hashem promises that “there will be no plague among them when counting them” is a direct result of using the coins, rather than people.

As Rashi writes, “Ayin hara can affect that which has been counted, and pestilence can come upon them, as we have found in the days of Dovid.” In the second book of Shmuel, we learn that Dovid Hamelech ordered his general Yoav to take a census of the nation; immediately afterward, 70,000 people

died in a plague, which the prophet Gad announced to be a direct result of the counting of people, which brought about an ayin hara.

In the Days of Our Patriarchs When Yaakov Avinu sent 10 of his sons to seek provisions in Mitzrayim, he commanded the brothers to split up and enter through different gates, as Rashi says in Parshas Mikeitz, “So that ayin hara should not have effect on them, because all of them were of pleasant appearance and of great strength.”

Likewise, when Yaakov Avinu blessed Ephraim and Menashe, he bentched them that they should be protected from all “ra” and grow to be numerous (“v’yidgu”) in the manner of fish, which, as Rashi says there: “Like these fish that proliferate and become numerous, and ayin hara has no effect on them.”

Bilam’s Ayin Hara After leaving Mitzrayim, the Bnei Yisroel were harassed on their journey into the mid-

bar. With great siyata d’Shmaya they were able to overcome those who attacked them, one by one. Balak, the king of Moav, witnessed this incredible success and became afraid that the Yidden would rise up against him, throw him from the throne, and destroy his kingdom. In desperation he consulted with Amon, and it was determined that since military efforts were not successful in overcoming the Yidden, they would hire the great sorcerer Bilam to place a curse upon Bnei Yisroel and destroy them in that manner.

Bilam, through his sorcery, saw spiritual aspects to ayin hara, it’s not the pores and edifices. So, too, when that placing an ayin hara on Bnei Yis- spiritual in nature — and certainly someone has an ayin hara on someroel would be the most successful has nothing to do with mazikim and one else, there is a bad energy commanner of obliterating them.

that was created by the starving prisoner had poisoned the food through ayin hara.

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “If looks could kill….”

Who Can Ayin Hara Affect... and How? “There are three ways for a person to become a recipient of an ayin hara. The first way is by frequent exposure to someone’s jealousy,” says Rabbi Spitzer.

“A stranger passing by who sees a stunning house and feels jealous, but has no connection to the owner and will never see him again, doesn’t create a worrisome ayin hara.

It’s too weak to cause any true harm.

It’s frequent exposure that we are concerned about.”

“The second way of being the recipient of an ayin hara is by having many pairs of eyes focus on you at one time, such as during a simcha.

Even at a joyful occasion where wellwishers are full of positive emotions, an ayin hara can come into being. This is due simply to the fact that so many pairs of eyes are concentrated on the baalei simcha. The energy that creates this type of ayin hara is significantly weaker than one caused by jealousy, but it does still exist.”

The final way an ayin hara is bred, Rabbi Spitzer tells me, is through an overwhelming sense of wonder.

“If we look at what Chana dav-

ened for before Shmuel Hanavi was born, we see that she davened for an average child. Chana understood that extraordinary children would invite an ayin hara, and she wisely sought to avoid that.”

Anytime people are left with the feeling of “wow!” in regard to a person’s talents, wealth, beauty, etc., the risk of ayin hara needs to be taken into consideration. While these things should be appreciated for what they are, they should not always be put on public display for everyone to “ooh” and “ahh” at. Of course, if talents or other blessings can be used in avodas Hashem, they should be — but it should be done in a humble manner.

Practical Ways to Avoid Ayin Hara “Preventing an ayin hara is not about living your life with crippling fear; it’s about learning how to do things in a low-key way.” Rabbi Spitzer offers, for example, the idea of not including pictures on every upsherin pekel one’s child will be handing out.

“Take pictures and share them with family — but don’t print them on the pekelech to be distributed to every neighbor and cheder yingel.”

Technology, too (among its other issues), provides a means for ayin hara to take root, with “nachas” pictures flying around the globe at super-speed.

On this point, Rav Dessler, au-

thor of Michtav M’Eliyahu wrote: When one is jealous of another and gazes upon him with an ayin hara, this can cause damage. However, justice demands that this will only happen if the recipient of the ayin hara had previously done something to make himself vulnerable to the ayin hara. One possibility would be that he had caused the first person to be jealous of him in a very specific manner.

On this point, however, Rabbi Spitzer does caution against downplaying one’s brachos when others might feel awkward in such a scenario — such as when a childblessed woman refrains from ever speaking of her children with a close, not-yet-blessed friend. “The result of the pain caused from such avoidance is often worse than the ayin hara that might possibly result.

Be normal. Have normal interactions; just don’t live your life making ‘wow!’ statements all the time for everyone to see.”

There are many other ways to create shemirah, I am assured. These include not surrounding oneself with negative people, not making ostentatious simchos, and abandoning the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses way of life.

The Gemara in Eruvin (64b) says that should one attain wealth, he should use a portion of the gains to perform a mitzvah. Rav Dessler wrote that this is an effective method for preventing ayin hara from damaging one’s wealth. He also wrote: It is clear and well-established that one who is not self-focused, is a giver and not a taker, in all of his matters, will not arouse any jealousy.

Few of us are on that level, though we surely can set it as a goal!

Rabbi Spitzer adds that the burden to prevent an ayin hara falls on everyone. While one must obviously work to overcome feelings of jealousy, even in matters of wonderprovoking situations, one has a role

November 13, 2019 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / 51 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

to play. When one experiences awe over something, he should immediately give credit to the Ribono Shel Olam — the one who created that wondrous person or their event.

It says in sefer Arvi Nachal that by acknowledging that Hashem created this person with tremendous wealth, looks or talents, one automatically diverts a potential ayin hara.

“Train your eyes to only look at others positively. If you have an ayin tov, there are sources that say you’ll have siyata d’Shmaya to be around others who also have ayin tovim.”

Tefillah is infinitely important as well. There are many places in davening where we beseech Hashem to protect us from an ayin hara, such in the yehi ratzon after the morning blessings in which we ask for shemirah from, “an evil person, the evil inclination…” and of course, “m’ayin hara.” Likewise, at the end of Shemoneh Esrei, we daven for protection from jealousy and all of its evil offspring. We also pray that we, ourselves, do not become jealous of other people, because, as Rabbi Spitzer points out, the best way to protect ourselves from ayin hara, is to meticulously avoid giving it to others.

If There Is an Ayin Hara What if, despite one’s best efforts to avoid arousing an ayin hara, one experiences concerning “symptoms”? Perhaps a once-thriving business inexplicably takes a turn

52 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / November 13, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

for the worse; a houseful of older singles longingly wait years to marry; relationships have gone suddenly stale; or multiple trips to specialists haven’t unearthed clues as to why one’s body is misbehaving — these cases sometimes point to the presence of an ayin hara.

When going through any painful experience that has no easily pinpointed source, many of our present-day gedolim encourage those who seek their counsel to send their name to Einy Yeshuah.

Rabbi Spitzer, who handles the technical aspects of Einy Yeshuah, sends in the names submitted to him to the esteemed Rabbi Shmuel Arye Ekstein, close confidant of gedolim worldwide, who has been active in combating ayin haras through lead and/or wax pouring for over 15 years.

This process, called “blei gissen,” might sound superstitious, though it actually is brought down by the heiliger Chida as being a kosher method of removing ayin hara.

Blei gissen consists of heated lead or wax being dropped into cold water while saying a person’s name and davening for them.

The resulting shape is then analyzed; sometimes it will come back with evidence of a strong ayin hara, and at other times, none. This process will be repeated multiple times until the lead finally shows that the person is free from ayin hara. Sometimes it takes many pourings to be successful.

“While anyone determined to learn the technique of lead/wax pouring is certainly capable of doing so, only a person with true yiras Shamayim

and the backing of many gedolim and mekubalim should engage in this method of ayin hara removal,” Rabbi Spitzer cautions.

Although a yeshuah is never guaranteed, many times the blei gissen proves successful, and after overcoming the ayin hara, life returns to normal, with problems falling on the wayside.

“Many, many times the root of a problem is ayin hara, and Rabbi Ekstein, with siyata d’Shamaya, is able to remove it. Sometimes, however, the issue is not caused by an ayin hara, and blei gissen doesn’t help. The person then will have to look further. But for those who are affected by an ayin hara, it always helps, and life changes for the better.”

Even when life is sailing along dandily, blei gissen can prove helpful, Rabbi Spitzer says.

“I have a lot of people who call me to arrange for them a ‘clean-up’ before simchos, or even monthly, just to ease the pressure from their minds that there might be an ayin hara.”

“It’s like insurance. People take out car, life and house insurance.

Well, this is ayin hara insurance.”

Despite Stepped-Up NYPD Patrols, Bias Attacks Continue Community safety has become a high priority in Boro Park after a disturbing string of anti-Semitic attacks has left many growing increasingly concerned.

Hamodia reported that several incidents took place just after midnight on November 1, with four men in a car cruising local streets, chasing several men and boys at various locations, and in one incident, punching a man near the Bobover beis midrash. Deputy Inspector James King, commanding officer of the 66 Precinct, called the meeting, which was held on November 6 at Misaskim’s headquarters, to discuss the situation.

Among those who turned out for the meeting were deputy inspector Mark Molinari of the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, city council members Chaim Deutsch and Kalman Yeger, and representatives from Senator Simcha Felder’s office, the mayor’s office, Community Board 12, Shomrim, Misaskim and Hatzolah. Participants urged the police to increase its presence in Boro Park, particularly on Friday nights, and the NYPD vowed to step up its patrols.

Within two days, things were looking a little brighter. After receiving surveillance footage obtained by Boro Park Shomrim, the NYPD was able to identify the car used in the attacks by its license plates, and police began their search for four likely suspects.

A 16-year-old who turned himself in to the police on Friday morning was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime, with the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force announcing that it was the first in a series of arrests, but as of Sunday night, no additional suspects had been apprehended.

Shabbos proceeded fairly peacefully in Boro Park, but things turned ugly after havdalah with a group of teens egging several buildings, including a girls school and several homes in the Dahill Road area. A nearby shul that was still filled with people was also pelted with eggs, and Shomrim hit the streets once again, canvassing local homes and businesses to gather surveillance footage to aid police in their investigations.

Boro Park 24 reported that the unrest continued on Sunday with a mother and child egged as they walked on 15th Avenue and 38th Street.

The calls for swift and decisive action to put an end to this disturbing trend came from numerous voices.

“Hate crimes continue to rise across the city, and the past two weekends in particular we have seen a separate pattern of anti-Semitism in the Boro Park community,” said Councilman Chaim Deutsch. “It is crucial that when the NYPD makes arrests, the district attorneys take the opportunity to make an example of them. We must break this cycle with increased police coverage in targeted communities, as well as aggressive prosecution when perpetrators are identified.”

These thoughts were echoed by a statement issued by Evan Bernstein, New York/New Jersey regional director of the Anti-Defamation League.

“These incidents are deeply disturbing and impacting the community,” wrote Bernstein. “We need to do more than just tweet. We need to proactively teach young and old hate is wrong and unacceptable.”

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams categorized the attacks as heinous and cowardly and expressed his hope that all of those responsible will be brought to justice as quickly as possible.

“We cannot rest until all members of the Jewish community in our city feel safe and respected, whether in their houses of worship, out on the street, or anywhere else,” said Adams.

Kosher on the Shelves as Wegman’s Opens Its First NYC Store in Brooklyn Wegman’s, a Rochester-based chain of supermarkets that typically draws shoppers from miles away, opened its first location in the five boroughs at the end of October, with a 74,000-squarefoot mega store located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. NBC News reported that the store will have a total of 700 parking places, some of which will be located in a four-story parking garage, with free 90-minute parking for those who spend a minimum of $15 at Wegman’s.

According to Kosher Today, Wegman’s is offering a large selection of kosher items, though whose hechsher will be appearing on any of those products is unclear. Store spokesperson Valerie Fox said that some of the kosher items to be featured include lox, pickles, herring and packaged sliced meats, with glatt kosher fresh chicken, beef and lamb stocked in the store’s refrigerators.

CHAPTER NINE Recap: Eliyahu and Elisheva meet with the lawyer, Rosenblit, who tells them about his elderly client, Alexander Korman from Australia, who wishes to commemorate his deceased parents by paying for the wedding of a couple bearing the same names as them — Peretz and Tziporah Genendel. However, the couple would need to get married on his parents’ wedding anniversary, which is less than five weeks away.

In Bratislava of 5708/1948, a Jew from the Agudas Israel Rescue Committee bribes a Russian Party member to help him figure out whether there are any Jewish children in the Lucius Jan orphanage.

Yerushalayim

“A wedding on Rosh Chodesh Teves.

That is the only thing you have to do,” Rosenblit said as he took a binder out of his drawer that had apparently been waiting for this very moment. “He would also be happy to receive an invitation to the wedding, but it would be purely honorary.

His health precludes him from traveling to Israel.” He pulled a page out of a sheet protector. “This is a copy of the contract,” he noted, and pushed it toward them.

“What about after the wedding? Is he going to have any other demands then?”

Eliyahu examined the photocopied page.

Elisheva also looked at it, but she was too confused to process its contents. This was impossible. Or maybe it was possible.

It was a scam. It was real. Someone was deceiving them. This was the answer to her tefillos. It was too delusional to be real.

But then, it seemed reasonable and well founded. Rosenblit had even shown them copies of the Australian man’s ID documents.

“For example, will he want them to keep in touch with him?” Eliyahu, who was very grounded, and remained so now, was trying to choose his words carefully. “Even if he is Torah observant, as you say he is, I wouldn’t exactly want him to ‘adopt’ our couple. He won’t wake up one fine morning and demand that they fly out to Australia to him, right?”

“Nothing,” Rosenblit declared. “What’s important to him is the date of the wedding and the documents that affirm that.

Everything is clearly stipulated here. If you ask me, it would be nice for the chasan and kallah to write him a nice thank-you letter, but that’s a side point. He is not demanding it.”

“A thank-you letter is the most basic decency. That’s not what we’re talking about.

The question is if he is going to want to be involved in the young couple’s life or intervene about matters like buying the apartment, for example.”

“Look, Rabbi Potolsky.” The lawyer smiled. “I don’t provide my children with

apartments. That’s not what we do in my circles. But if I were to do that, and someone who is ninety years old generously offered to help me with it, I wouldn’t mind for him to get as involved as he wants! I mean, what can he ask already, at his age? That you send him pictures of the wedding? That you consult him before buying furniture? Speak to him before naming a child? And another point — and I’m not sure how proper it is for me to say this, but — for how many more years do you really think he’ll want to be involved?”

Eliyahu smiled and wanted to say something, but the lawyer continued. “But none of this is relevant anyway, because he isn’t demanding anything except for an accounting of expenses for the apartment, clothing, the wedding, and the rest. Take this contract, show it to whomever you want, consult with them, and with your mechutanim, of course, and let me know what you decide.”

“STOCKHAMMER, your father is looking for you.”

“On the phone?” Peretz turned around to the row of public phones. How had his father been able to get through at this time of day, when all the bachurim were vying for a phone?

“No, outside.” Nosson Berliner motioned with his hand to someplace behind him. “I offered to take him to our room so he could wait for you there, but I think he wants to speak to you privately.” He chuckled. “That makes sense, doesn’t it?”

“I guess so,” Peretz said. He pressed his lips together. Since his first year in yeshivah, when his father had visited him once a week for the first six months, until he’d pleaded with his parents to stop, how often had his father come all the way from Petach Tikvah to see him in yeshivah? And at eleven at night?! A jumble of horrible thoughts, nightmarish stories about other chasanim that he had heard of, flashed through his mind — and all of those scenarios had begun with the father coming to the chassan’s yeshivah to deliver the news about a catastrophic turn of events… Without his noticing it, his footsteps picked up speed, and less than a minute later, he was outside on the Jerusalem street, looking left and right. Where was his father?

There.

And... oh, my, his mother had come along! She was standing at his father’s side, with her ever-present large brown pocketbook, curiously surveying the street.

“How are you, Peretz?” His father clapped him on the shoulder, and his mother waved to him. No, they did not look like they were being crushed by a terrible burden that they had come to share with him.

But they did look somewhat tense and preoccupied.

“Baruch Hashem, I’m doing great… I got scared when I heard you were here,” he said honestly.

“We should have visited you more these past few years, so that such a visit wouldn’t scare you,” his mother remarked, and then added a veiled barb: “Too bad you were embarrassed when Tatty used to come…”

He smiled. “I’m happy whenever you come,” he said.

“Let’s sit down in a park somewhere,” his father requested. “Is there a place nearby, Peretz? Somewhere calm, quiet, where we can talk?”

“Sure. But what do you want to talk to me about?” Peretz led his parents over to the next block. It was hard to call the space a park, and even harder to deem it quiet, but that’s what there was in the area.

“I can take you someplace nicer,” he said as his parents sat down on the bench and his mother put down her bag. “But it’s farther. And I’m in too much suspense right now.”

“Oy, why?” his mother exclaimed. “You don’t have to be in suspense. What do you think we’ve come to tell you?”

“I don’t know.” Peretz sat down on the bench across from them.

His father looked at his mother; she looked back at him. “Look, we’ve received a proposal and we’re deliberating whether or not to agree to it.” She was the one who began. “You know that I want you to have the nicest wedding in the world, right?”

He must have smiled without realizing it when he heard the familiar refrain, because his father’s eyes narrowed.

“Peretz,” he said in rebuke. “Yes, for years we have waited for this wedding. Mommy is entitled to want to plan and wait for the wedding of her youngest child and only son. Why are you laughing?”

“Chas v’shalom!” Peretz shook his head. “I didn’t laugh. I just smiled, because we have been hearing about my wedding ever since I was a little boy. But I so appreciate everything you do for me, Tatty and Mommy.”

“You’re a good boy,” his father said.

“Yes,” his mother murmured.

“And your kallah is also a good girl, a very good girl, but there’s no way I can agree for you to get married in a shul. There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Get married in a shul? We booked a hall, didn’t we?”

“Yes, a cheap hall,” his father replied. “But they agreed to it. They are very special, these mechutanim, and you know that we didn’t have a lot of demands from them. We have experience with your three sisters, may their husbands be well. Thirteen years, and I’m still paying off the debts from Gitty’s wedding!”

“So if we’ve already booked a hall, why are you suddenly anxious that they want us to get married in a shul?”

“I wouldn’t call it anxious; it’s actually a very serious matter,” his father said. “We’ve just come from a meeting with the mechutanim.”

“Nu?” “They want to push up the wedding and make it in four weeks, and we’re not sure there will be a hall available for then. Tzippy’s mother suggested a small shul hall in their neighborhood.”

Then his mother interjected, “It would be one thing if I felt like their story is true, but something here...”

She took a deep breath. “Something smells fishy to me.”

“And not that we think they are liars, chas v’shalom,” his father made sure to note. “But maybe they don’t realize themselves that this whole fantastical story is just one big scam.”

“Tell him,” his mother said. “He has daas Torah, our Peretz. Let’s see what he says.”

And that’s how Peretz heard, for the first time, the unbelievable story of Alexander Korman, the son of Peretz and Tziporah Genendel, Hy”d.

“It really does sound strange.”

Peretz picked at a loose piece of paint on the bench. “That his parents had exactly the same names as us... very interesting. Tzippy’s parents are pretty reasonable people; they just accepted this so matter-offactly?”

“Look, after everything is said and done, there is proof to all this,” his father said. “But what can I tell

you... I still don’t fully buy it. They consulted Rav Gedaliah Weiss, they showed him the contract that we are all supposed to sign, and he said that it’s kdai and that there doesn’t seem to be anything to lose.

There’s no risk here.”

“In my opinion,” his mother said, opening her bag and taking out a thermos and three paper cups, “getting us to speed things up and have the wedding in just a few weeks, and especially if that means that my son is going to get married in a shul…well, that sounds like a big risk to me.”

“And I personally don’t believe that a person would pay such a large amount of money without expecting anything in return. I’m not sure what he will want in exchange, and under which words in the contract he is hiding it.”

“In other words,” his mother said, “we don’t think so.”

Peretz looked first at his father and then at his mother. “Fine,” he said. “If you don’t think so, then no. I really don’t understand these things.”

“But do you think it’s right to reject such a good offer?” Bayla Stockhammer handed her son a cup of tea. “I mean, we’re talking about an apartment for you, a much better one than we and Tzippy’s parents can afford to give you.”

“And it would be in a great location, too,” his father added, almost as an aside.

“Sure, sure.” His mother filled a cup of tea for herself. “The problem is that I don’t believe the whole story. Avraham, I’m afraid that we’re going to get excited, and rush to marry them off in some miserable hall, and then we’ll be left with nothing to show for ourselves. I don’t know who this prankster is, but that’s what it sounds like to me, a prank. Drink, Peretz. Why aren’t you drinking? You, too, Avraham.”

Father and son made a bracha and sipped from their cups.

“If it would be possible to buy the apartment that he is promising even before the early wedding, I wouldn’t be so opposed,” Rabbi Stockhammer remarked. “After all,

Bayla, the 200,000 shekels that we promised is sitting on my head like a tractor. Don’t listen, Peretz. But I wouldn’t object if someone would help me a bit with this. Not tzedakah,” he added hastily when he saw his wife’s scowl. “But what we’re talking about is a good thing, in memory of Jewish souls...”

“How do you want us to also buy an apartment in these few weeks?”

She screwed the thermos cover back on. “I need to speak to the mechuteiniste. I want to tell her about an idea that just popped into my mind.”

“What?”

“That instead of looking for a shul hall because the regular halls are all taken, let her find a hall that is not so booked with weddings.

There are such things — very fancy halls, like where Greenzweig’s granddaughter got married.”

“That hall in Givatayim?” Her husband waved his hand. “Shoin, really. We’re going to bring in a special caterer and start schlepping all the guests to there?”

“What’s wrong? We’ll offer transportation. And you’d be surprised to see how many people will come just to see a wedding in such a gorgeous place.”

Peretz was quiet; he was wellraised enough to know not to interject into a discussion between his parents.

“They won’t agree,” Avraham said.

“Then I don’t agree to the whole idea of an early wedding, and goodbye to the whole thing.”

“For a wedding, one night, we should lose the whole deal?”

“Our Peretz is not a ‘deal.’” Bayla looked at her son’s pale face with a mixture of irritation and love. “And you also agreed that it’s a strange story.”

“That’s right, but I also say we have to look into it seriously. And you think that way, too, Bayla,” he added softly, “because otherwise, we would not have come all the way out to Yerushalayim and kept Peretz up until a quarter to twelve at night, right?”

Bloomberg Ponders Presidential Run THE PULSE: Former New York City Mayor Mi-

chael Bloomberg is seriously considering entering the crowded Democratic presidential primary race.

Bloomberg advisor Howard Wolfson said that Bloomberg is concerned that the current field of Democratic candidates is not well-positioned to defeat President Trump. Bloomberg is the founder of Bloomberg L.P., a financial, software, data and media company headquartered in New York City. He is 77 years old, and his wealth is estimated at $57.1 billion, making him the ninth wealthiest person in the United States. Bloom-

68 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / November 13, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

berg served as mayor of New York City from January 2002 through December 2013. He is considered to be a pragmatic centrist on economic issues. Bloomberg successfully turned New York City’s $6 billion deficit into a $3 billion surplus. As mayor, he raised property taxes. However, he later proposed cutting the city’s property and sales tax. Bloomberg favors strict gun control and has taken strong positions on public health, including introducing a citywide ban on trans fats and large sugary drinks. His sugary drink ban was later struck down by the New York State Supreme Court. Many accused Bloomberg of trying to create a nanny state. Bloomberg supports the policing policy of stop and frisk, which is opposed by many minority and progressive groups. He also introduced PlaNYC, which helped cut greenhouse gas emissions in NYC by

as much as 19 percent. Bloomberg ran afoul of many in the frum community when he tried to regulate the practice of metzitzah b’peh by requiring that parents sign a Health Department consent form before performing metzitzah b’peh at the bris of a child.

witnesses from coordinating their testimony. Last week the House committees began publicly releasing transcripts of the interviews. This week the House will start to hold public hearings and will call witnesses to testify regarding Trump’s interactions with Ukraine.

THE IMPACT: Bloomberg’s entry into the race may potentially have a significant impact on the Democratic field. Bloomberg will try to position himself as a centrist alternative to a weakened Joe Biden. Seemingly, he will siphon support from Biden, and this can strengthen progressives like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. However, due to his wealth, Bloomberg will have significant resources available at his disposable. He will self-fund his campaign, and much of his messaging will be critical of progressive policies such as Medicare for All and a proposed wealth tax. The increased messaging attacking the positions of Warren and Sanders will likely benefit candidates like Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar. They also argue that Warren and Sanders are too extreme but lack the funds to hammer home the message to Democratic voters. Bloomberg has his work cut out for him, as he currently polls at low levels of support among Democratic primary voters, though he polls well in headto-head matchups with President Trump. His biggest impact may be the infusion of cash that he brings to more centrist Democratic messaging.

THE IMPACT: This will be the first time that the public will hear from witnesses firsthand. This poses a real challenge for the White House. The transcripts released to date appear to corroborate the version of events that were of concern to the whistleblower. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Ambassador Gordon Sondland, Ambassador Bill Taylor, State Department Official George Kent and National Security Aid Tim Morrison have all essentially confirmed that members of the Trump administration demanded that Ukraine investigate the Bidens and the 2016 election. They also testified that members of the administration used military aid and a potential White House meeting with President Zelensky as leverage to get the Ukrainians to comply with their demands. Republicans have struggled with how to respond. Their response has run the gamut: President Trump and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claim that there never was any quid pro quo, and Trump claims that the call with the Ukrainian president was perfect. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said that the president’s actions were wrong, but they do not necessarily warrant impeachment. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is on record stating that while a quid pro quo may well have transpired, the president is within his rights to demand a quid pro quo to investigate corruption, and there is therefore nothing wrong with his actions. Congressman Will Hurd (R-TX) said that a president engaging in a quid pro quo is illegal, but it has yet to be established that such pressure was ever applied. Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) argued that even if a quid pro quo existed, the records will show that it was not directed or orchestrated by the president. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-KY) has advised senators to limit their responses on the impeachment matter while the hearings play out in the House. In a sign of concern about the public hearings and the disparate Republican response, the White House has hired former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and former assistant secretary of the Treasury Department Tom Sayegh to help coordinate the White House response to the impeachment crisis. The public hearings will be pivotal in the court of public opinion and may determine the fate of the impeachment saga.

Impeachment Hearings Go Public THE PULSE: To date, the House of Representatives has held closed-door hearings on the impeachment investigation. The hearings have been conducted by three House committees: Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight. These committees include Republican members who are free to question witnesses. However, the hearings are closed to other House members and to the general public. Many Republicans have complained about the private nature of the closeddoor hearings. They believe that such hearings do not allow them to defend the president adequately. They feel that the secrecy can be used by the Democrats to manipulate messaging by selectively leaking parts of the testimony to the public. Democrats have countered that private hearings are necessary to prevent

Smoked Beef Fry Stew

74 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / November 13, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

Smoked Beef Fry Stew I used boneless flanken, as its more tender than stew meat, yet less pricey than bone-in flanken for a weeknight supper.

INGREDIENTS 8 oz. smoked beef fry

1 lb. mini potatoes

2 lb. boneless flanken, cubed

1 lb. peeled baby carrots

1 onion

2 cups water

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp. salt

2 cups chicken stock

DIRECTIONS 1. In a dry pan with no oil, saute beef fry until crisp on both sides. The beef fry will release its own fat, which will be used to brown the meat and veggies. Set aside.

2. Season flanken with salt and pepper, and saute in the same pan until nicely browned on both sides.

4. Transfer contents of pot to slow cooker.

Wash potatoes well and add to the slow cooker, along with carrots, water and salt.

5. Crumble beef fry into pieces and add most of it to slow cooker, reserving the rest to use as garnish once stew is done. Cook stew on high for four hours or on low for eight.

5 large potatoes

2 T. flour

Salt and pepper, for seasoning

Half stick margarine

2 T. tomato paste

1 onion, cut into rings

2 tsp. salt, divided

2 cups chicken stock

8 oz. sliced mushrooms

Dash of garlic powder

2 T. fish-free Worcestershire sauce

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 carrot, cut into small cubes

DIRECTIONS

1 tsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. salt

1. Prepare a batch of mashed potatoes: Cube potatoes and place into a pot. Fill pot with water to cover the potatoes plus one inch.

Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork-tender. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add margarine, 1 teaspoon salt, a dash of garlic powder and a dash of white pepper.

Mash until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.

1. Season cutlets with salt and pepper.

Saute in a pan over medium-high heat until brown on both sides. Once cooled, cut into bite size pieces. Set aside.

2. To prepare the meat base: In a large pot set over medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic for one minute. Add carrots and saute for three additional minutes. Add the meat and saute until meat is browned, breaking up clumps as it cooks. Add flour and stir to combine. Add tomato paste, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, peas, bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer gently for five minutes. Remove bay leaf.

2. Add onion and mushrooms to the same pan and saute until water is absorbed and vegetables start to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional minute. Add zucchini, peppers and flour. Stir. Add stock, soy sauce and salt.

3. Transfer meat to a 10” round pan. Top with prepared mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up. Bake uncovered at 400° for half an hour.

Cool 15 minutes before cutting up and serving.

For those of us blessed to never have to worry about where our next meal will come from, the concept of true hunger is quite foreign. Yet, on some level, we can relate to the comfort that food provides. On a sated stomach, our days look brighter, we feel stronger, and most anything seems possible.

On Bedford Avenue in South Williamsburg, there is a nondescript little dining hall that provides that comfort and hope to hundreds of visitors a day.

Founded on the belief that every Yid is a brother and no one in our family should ever worry about where his next bite will come from, all who walk through these doors are immediately taken in by the warmth — and the endless supply of food.

The name of the place says it all, and looking around, one wouldn’t be wrong to insist they feel Reb Shayala’s presence.

The term ahavas chinam comes to mind.

Here, every Yid is welcome.

BACK HOME One hundred fifty years ago, back when Europe was the cradle of chassidus, there were many rabbinic courts estab-

lished all over Hungary, Poland, Ukraine — all the way into the cold Russian tundra — each with its own approach to serving Hashem. In Bodrogkeresztúr, Hungary, lived a tzaddik whose gadlus in Torah and chassidus was eclipsed only by his love for every Yid he encountered.

In Kerestir, the emphasis was on ahavas Yisroel.

Reb Shayala Kerestirer, Reb Yeshaya ben Reb Moshe Shteiner (1851–1925), was world-renowned for his kedusha and Torah, but it was his ahavas Yisroel and the yeshuos he invoked that earned him a spot in the hearts of Yidden around the world — and for generations to come.

Reb Shayala loved his fellow Yidden, not for what they had accomplished in life, but for their very essence — that of being his brothers, children of Hashem.

He also recognized that our souls, as much as our bodies, are nourished by

kind words, the love we experience and the food we eat.

It is that message of love that tugged at heartstrings and touches hearts still. The need of the downtrodden to be welcomed, accepted, embraced. And from those capable of it, the desire to emulate the tzaddik in some way — to reach out to and assist our less-privileged brethren.

THE WANDERING JEW Since time immemorial, Yidden have traversed countries, seas and continents in search of economic security. Beyond the attempts at business, there were also meshulachim who would travel to richer communities as representatives of their hometowns.

In days gone by, the term “meshulach” carried with it a tremendous level of respect. In 1755, the Chida, Rebbe Chaim Yosef Dovid Azulai, zt”l, was so respected for his tremendous intellect and ehrlichkeit, that he was chosen as meshulach for the land of Eretz Yisroel.

At that time, this honor was bestowed upon men who were considered worthy of the title and who garnered respect on the shores where they arrived.

Times and landscapes may have changed, and over the past 70 years we have been blessed with much stability on American shores, but ardent poverty still exists in many homes across the world (and right here in our backyards). Beyond individual privation, most yeshivos and organizations are functioning at a financial deficit.

And so, the influx of meshulachim is something we are all familiar with. The level of respect they receive, though, has tragically and drastically changed.

Nowadays, most meshulachim find themselves on unfamiliar soil, feeling unpopular — and too often, unwelcome.

Sadly, they’ve taken to hiding in plain sight. They don’t desire to be noticed beyond the few moments they stretch out their hands. For the rest of the time, they attempt to stay below the radar, hiding in the crowds.

But being the rachmanim bnei rachmanim that we are, there were some special souls among us who bothered to take note of a growing need.

A TASTE OF HOME It was over ten years ago that Reb Yankel Silberstein looked around his local shul and realized that the meshulachim began their workday without having eaten a

single morsel of food. At first using his own funds, every morning, he would set up a table with some mezonos and drinks. It quickly evolved to a fuller breakfast, and as word spread, the olam showing up for a morning meal grew.

Reb Yankel soon realized two important factors. For one, the crowd had outgrown the minimal space, but even more importantly — people can’t subsist on breakfast alone.

The first solution presented itself in the form of an amazing donation by the generous Brach family. The spacious facilities they offered, free of charge, is valued at somewhere in the range of $10K monthly.

The name of the place says it all, and looking around, one wouldn’t be wrong to insist they feel Reb Shayala’s presence.

The second issue required the efforts of many volunteers and sponsors, and it was with much siyata d’Shmaya that in September of 2011, the little kitchen started to serve breakfast, lunch as well as dinner to countless meshulachim, widowers and others who wouldn’t find a warm meal at home.

The place might have been founded with the meshulachim in mind, but the true intention was to feed the hungry — whoever they may be.

Among the diners are many chashuve Yidden.

Some come because there sadly isn’t someone at home who can fix a meal; others come to bolster the spirits of those around and infuse the air with a Torah’dig vibe. Then there are guests who may be coming in for company and camaraderie as much as for the nutritious and filling meals.

Though it is absolutely true that hunger can be quieted with cheaper fare, the generous founders, chefs and volunteers don’t believe in giving less than they would for their own family.

There is an old adage about how “we are what we eat.” And so, to ensure that the food is always healthful and wholesome, every meal includes some protein options, and each dish is cooked with fresh ingredients, without any artificial fillers or preservatives. The kitchen even serves fermented beet juice (borscht) to aid in easy digestion!

The kitchen is open seven days a week. On weekdays, the kitchen opens for breakfast at 7 a.m. and doesn’t close until the final diner leaves at 11 p.m.

And finally, after working hard all week, Shabbos for the meshulachim is truly a day of rest. In days gone by, they used to need to find a place for their meals, where they often felt put upon to entertain their hosts. Now they get to spend time in the company of their peers, sharing to’amehu, the seudos and melaveh malkah in a comfortable and familiar environment.

Best yet, the entire day is their own. They can choose to nap, learn or shmooze — without any external pressures to perform.

THE COMFORTS OF HOME The menu is extensive, and the options are readily displayed — not printed on some laminated sheets.

More importantly, there are no prices attached to each dish. If one is so inclined, and many a guest are, they can easily pay whatever amount they desire.

Those who can afford to pay do so at the pushka, concealed out of sight. The very knowledge that some pay accords the rest of the diners a sense of respect, because to the onlooker, they, too, might be a paying customer.

And because the diners’ comfort is always the priority, the entrance area is not visible from the street, so that passersby can’t look in.

ing his rounds for donations, an avreich made a proposition. That day was the yahrtzeit of the heilige Reb Shayala Kerestirer, he told Reb Silberstein, and if the kitchen would henceforth carry the name of the tzaddik, this yungerman promised substantial annual donations. And thus, a name was born.

“REB SHAYALA’S KITCHEN”

FUNDRAISING As one would expect in a venue of this nature, the majority of “employees” are yungerleit who volunteer their time and energy (and money) for this timeless and precious chesed.

Much of the food and supplies, too, come from amazing sponsors, as well as some of our popular supermarkets, wholesalers and bakeries. In our conversation, the volunteers emphasized their appreciation for bakeries and groceries that donated their products that were ap-

The name Reb Shayala immediately brings to mind the kindness and concern he extended to all who came to him for help. The word kitchen evokes an image of home and hearth.

To a great degree, the kitchen defines the tzaddik’s essence. Because when it came to his guests, Reb Shayala did more than graciously welcome; his concern for them was legendary, as he personally served and ensured that all were sated.

Reb Shayala knew that when one is hungry, it is difficult — nay, impossible — to focus on much else. He believed that the lack of food doesn’t make one less of a person, but it certainly hinders their ability to care adequately about the rest of their responsibilities. It is only when one has eaten that they become the best version of themselves. A person who isn’t thinking about where his next meal will come from can focus on the important things, like Torah, tefillah and growing in Yiddishkeit. He is also a better father, a calmer spouse.

Some have related that they’ve taken to calling the kitchen “the shalom bayis stop.” Prior to heading home, many a hungry husband knows to step in and grab a bite. Whether or not there is ready dinner waiting for him at home, he can come home calmly and greet his family in a pleasant manner.

Among the very basics that every human requires, food takes priority. It is, quite literally, our sustenance. proaching their “sell-by” date. If more shops would do that, they pointed out, they would be able to serve the crowds with more much-needed food, while preventing a whole lot of bal tashchis.

The cost of serving over a thousand meals a day isn’t easily covered, even with the wonderful shops donating their fare. Besides supplies, there is a full-time chef that spends his entire day in the kitchen, as well as a small cleaning crew. And so, in an act that is truly the beauty of Klal Yisroel coming full circle, the indefatigable Reb Yankel Teitelbaum devotes his time and money to collect for the collectors.

A KITCHEN BY ANY OTHER NAME In one of those moments of obvious siyata d’Shmaya, on 3 Iyar, way back when the kitchen had only recently opened its doors, the little soup kitchen got its name.

When the original founder Reb Silberstein was mak-

COMING HOME Though many feel inclined to support this worthwhile cause, the kitchen makes it quite clear that they don’t claim to offer brachos from the tzaddik. Still, the name, Reb Shayala’s Kitchen, resonates with all who hear about it, and the concept hits home. We remember the Rebbe’s love for his fellow Yid, and we recognize the truth in his life’s mission.

Among the very basics that every human requires, food takes priority. It is, quite literally, our sustenance.

And while it might be true that we all need more than just food to survive, few things restore pride and energy, while providing healing and comfort, the way a hot meal does.

New York of the early twentieth century lay at the crossroads of the American dream. Hundreds of Yidden were settling in New York at the time, but the Torah infrastructure of the city had not yet been firmly established. Decisions were to be made and challenges to be met, or failed. One by one, each family confronted the dichotomy — the wealth and opportunity of the goldene medinah, and the sacrifices that a Torah-true life entailed.

N

Blessed with an unusually successful business, the Ehrenthal family was one such example. Determined to keep the flame of Torah alive, Ida and Aaron Ehrenthal worked tirelessly to establish and support yeshivos and institutions throughout the city. Uniquely positioned as members

88 / THE BORO PARK VIEW

of the privileged upper class, the Ehrenthals used their wealth to champion Jewish causes with passion and fervor. Whereas other couples of their class engaged in luxury and leisure, the Ehrenthals consistently involved themselves in activities of a higher calling.

AND YET, In the late 1930s, a unique opportunity arose. Rav Elchanan Wasserman, hy”d, arrived in New York on a fundraising mission, and the Ehrenthals were called upon to arrange an elegant charity dinner on his behalf. As per Rav Elchanan’s instruction, the dinner was to be arranged with separate seating for men and women, an unheard-of idea at the time. While others scorned this directive as outdated and outlandish, the Ehrenthals were determined to make it a reality. Placing their faith in Rav Elchanan’s vision, Aaron and Ida recruited donors and attendees, caterers and honorees. At times they were mocked, at times they were respected. Irrespective of the reaction they received, the Ehrenthals forged ahead, realizing that this dinner was more than a fundraiser; it was about standards and beliefs, the ability to remain true to halacha’s ideals despite the changing times.

The Ehrenthals served as a bulwark, safeguarding future generations with their stalwart emunas chachamim, and yet, their own family future remained unknown. Blessed with a daughter, the Ehrenthals had been told that she would likely be the only child they would ever have. But despite the doctors’ predictions, Ida refused to part with her dreams. Clinging to an insupressible hope, Ida refused to accept that she would never raise a son. Both Ida and Aaron dreamed of a son to pamper and love, an heir to their business and mission.

A doer by nature, and not one to dwell in sadness, Ida immersed herself in the dinner preparations with as much vigor as she could muster. And yet, in the deepest recesses of her mind, a wild idea was slowly taking root. As Ida’s friends shopped and sewed their very best for the upcoming affair, Ida, a woman of high society, made no such arrangements. She had her own secret planned for the big night, a secret that would carry the weight of generations.

The night of the event arrived. That blustery winter evening, Ida arrived at the hall wearing an outfit the likes of which she’d never worn before. With a waitress apron tied neatly around a simple dress, Ida stepped into the reception armed with an unshakeable resolve. Quickly, Ida scanned the room until she found whom she was looking for. With remarkable determination, she weaved her way through the tables that dotted the hall — ignoring the shocked stares of those who recognized her bizarre getup — and walked all the way up to the head table, until finally, she made it. Placing a plate before Rav Elchanan, Ida looked down and shared her request: “Would the Rav please bentch me with a son?”

What happened next remains unclear. Was Rav Elchanan shocked by her brazenness? Was he impressed with her determination, taken by her demeanor? Did he express gratitude for her giving, or was he chagrined by her daring feat? One thing we know for sure — the bracha came to be. It was a bracha that led to doros, generations of Torah Yidden living lives that would make Ida proud.

That night, my dear great-grandmother traded her usual stately appearance for humble kitchen-assistant getup. And as I hold my children close, I know her trade paid off deeply — because my children are the grandchildren of the son she was promised.

IN THE DEEPEST CORNERS OF IDA’S MIND, A WILD IDEA WAS SLOWLY TAKING ROOT.

Millions of homemakers around the globe owe a debt of gratitude to a Chinese-born Canadian engineer — though they likely never heard his name.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then perhaps boredom — or, in this case, unemployment — might be its father. When Robert Wang, a telecommunications engineer, found himself without a job, he decided to finally tackle a problem that had been bothering him for some time. As busy parents, Wang and his wife often struggled with the daily responsibility that many homemakers can relate to — that of putting a healthy and filling dinner on their table every night.

90 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / November 13, 2019 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

Preparing a decent meal is often time-consuming and messy. A luxury, many will insist, hectic daily schedules don’t lend themselves to. What’s a harried homemaker to do?

Using his advanced engineering skills, Wang decided to tinker with an idea that had been percolating for a while. He was keen on creating an automated cooking machine that would revolutionize kitchens around the world. Amazingly, the brainchild he conceived did just that.

A COOKING REVOLUTION? Given the extent of the Instant Pot’s popularity, it would be safe to wager that even if you don’t own an Instant Pot yourself, you likely know someone who does — and has been raving about how awesome it is.

What is so innovative about the Instant Pot that has its users gushing about its benefits? For starters, this 7-in-1 appliance allows for a one-pot deal, without the one-pot taste. You can start by sauteing, and then proceed with fast (or slow) cooking — all in

the same pot.

The all-in-one concept, much like the “Jack of all trades,” often falls short in many departments.

But when Wang utilized his computer science background, he managed to merge the standard pressure-cooker and slow-cooking concepts with advanced technology that monitored and regulated the cooking process based on weight, pressure and temperature.

This technology ensures that the food will retain its flavor and moisture, and most impressively — will not burn. If the food gets done earlier than serving time, the timed setting will conveniently switch it over to warming mode, keeping the food at ready-to-serve temperature until it’s time for it to be plated. (This setting comes in especially handy for those who have some later shifts at dinner. Your bachurim will appreci-

Incidentally, the Crock-Pot was the brilliant invention of a man who went by Naxon. His real name was Nachumsohn, and as you might have guessed, he was Jewish. He conceived the Crock-Pot for the purpose it still serves in thousands of frum homes today: the Shabbos cholent.

ate that their food was kept moist and warm as it waited for their arrival after a long day of learning.)

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN Believe it or not, the pressurecooking option is hundreds of years old — first invented by French physicist Denis Papin in 1679. The concept may have existed earlier, but the pressure cooker only gained popularity during World War II, when homemakers recognized an additional benefit: Much fuel could be saved with this ingenious cooking method.

The pressure-cooking option struck a chord with busy homemakers of later generations, too — from those who walked in late after a full day at work and found themselves

November 13, 2019 / THE BORO PARK VIEW / 91 www.thebpview.com / 718.408.8770

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

8 TIPS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW 1.

When choosing the “saute” option, always keep the lid open, and press the “adjust” button to choose the right setting. The “saute” function is also ideal for heating up the pan fast (I even use it when I want to quickly heat up some tomato sauce for meatballs), but it is especially useful for browning meat or sauteing vegetables prior to cooking.

2.

Don’t use more than one cup of liquid to cook meat, and by that I’m referring to broth, soy sauce, wine, water, etc. The pressure cooker doesn’t need much liquid, and too much will dilute the flavor of the meat. (This rule doesn’t apply if you’re also cooking a starch, like rice, that will need adequate liquid to fluff properly.)

3.

As soon as the temperature exceeds 284° Fahrenheit on the Instant Pot, heating is immediately suspended. This nifty feature, among others, was designed to prevent the food from burning and the pressure cooker from “exploding” (like pressure cookers of yore sometimes did…)

4.

The recipe might tell you that mashed potatoes only needs 12 minutes, but it takes time for the pressure to build once the lid is sealed. Therefore, expect cooking time to take 10 to 15 minutes longer than the time set. And, of course, it will take some time for the pot to release the pressure as well.

5.

Once the dish has finished cooking, the Instant Pot will automatically switch to warming mode, which automatically reduces the pressure in the pot. Quickly releasing pressure will speed up serving time, but is not the ideal solution with most meats.

For softest meats and chicken, allow for natural release — which will help the meat retain its juices. (Rice, potatoes, soups, etc. do perfectly fine with the “quick release” option.)

6.

Never, ever force the Instant Pot open. As soon as the pressure has lowered to safe levels, the lid will slide open rather easily.

7.

Here’s something even Instant Pot aficionados likely don’t know: The hot, condensation-laden lid doesn’t need to rest on your counter! Those two small “tabs” on either side of the lid are cleverly designed to fit into the Instant Pot handles, so that it can stand upright on its side! (See image.)

8.

The Instant Pot is rather large and, as some will insist, clumsy. Don’t purchase one if you know you won’t have where to store it, or if the cabinet you’re planning to store it in won’t give you easy access to it. While many adore this product, others caution that the hassle of accessing it and replacing it in its proper space keeps them from using it as frequently as they’d like.

hard-pressed to put dinner on the table in under 30 minutes, to the stay-at-home mothers, who after a hectic day with household chores, glanced at the kitchen clock to discover that her hungry brood was about to come through the front door, and dinner had not even been started!

I, too, grew up with many a delicious dinner cooked in the original, hissing, pressure cooker. It was a much utilized tool, but lest one was vigilant, this mode of cooking made one prone to burnt food — and burnt fingers.

On the other side of cooking styles were the slow cookers. These had been successfully marketed for busy working women, and though they were relatively popular, they were also notoriously slow and required ample advance planning. Though it hadn’t quite gone the way of the dodo, many harried moms concluded that mornings are too hectic for the dinner planning that slow-cooking requires.

With the Instant Pot, Wang sought to combine the benefits of both. The “set it and forget it” option allows the chef to focus on the rest of dinner, and at the same time, the Instant Pot cooks the food very quickly. And besides for the obvious advantage of having the food on the table sooner, the faster

cooking has the food retaining more nutrients and flavor!

WHAT’S COOKING? The Instant Pot’s popularity has inspired thousands (some will insist millions) of recipes from passionate fans who have become enraptured with the product.

The enchantment with the product isn’t only due to the ease of cooking an untold variety of soups, stews and a host of side dishes; there’s something even more exciting about the endless options of complete main dishes that can be set up in mere minutes. Some much-loved favorites include meatballs and spaghetti, chicken bottoms and rice, potato beef stew, and the endless variety of Chinese chicken or beef dishes, which have taken to being called “dump dinners,” an unfortunate name choice for a minimal-effort meal that can be tossed together in minutes.

It might be worthwhile to note that although the Instant Pot will present you with some of the most tender and moist dishes you’ve ever encountered, you won’t be able to obtain a crispy exterior, or really a crunch of any kind. The pressure-

A POT BY ANY OTHER NAME Some might argue that the Crock-Pot was the Instant Pot of the 1950s. Eager to reclaim their popularity, Crock-Pot has rolled out their own multicooker in their Crock-Pot Express Crock.

Tapping into the Instant Pot craze, many other companies have also put forth their own multicookers, some even adding an air fryer or sous vide option (both super popular with health foodies).

Some popular alternatives to the Instant Pot brand are Insignia, Gourmia, Cosori, Ninja Foodi, Cuisine 3-in-1 Central, Presto Kitchen Kettle and Walmart’s budget-friendly Farberware Programmable MultiCooker.

There are also T-fal’s Programmable Pressure Cooker, KitchenAid’s Stainless Steel MultiCooker, and Magic Chef’s 9-in-1 Multi-Function Pressure Cooker. Considering their competition, these companies might want to work on catchier names!

cooking method has many great benefits, but the sealed, wet environment will always soften the food.

A small price to pay, most will insist, as this is also what makes the Instant Pot such an ideal cooking solution for chuck roast, brisket or a complete turkey. Besides the speedy, tasty and juicy results, all that happens without cluttering up the stove or heating up the oven! That’s another benefit of the Instant Pot — the

stovetop stays clean and the kitchen stays cool.

The Instant Pot comes with many features that I’ve never tried (yogurt or porridge, anyone?). The slowcooking option, though, is wonderful in that it grants a level of versatility to the busy cook. I like to plan my dinners in advance, and whether I need to step out of the home or am present as dinner simmers, there is something delightful about being able to set the timing and know that the meal will be ready and perfect precisely when I need it.

Irrespective of whether you have dinner planned beforehand or find yourself deciding at the last minute on a no-fuss dump dinner, the Instant Pot is a fantastic solution.

As one who has been using the Instant Pot frequently, I’ll confess to being mildly infatuated with the product, so much so that I often urge others to try it too. But my obsession is tied into my ardent belief that homemaking should never be a burden — and with the right tools, it can be downright enjoyable!

BEER TURKEY Place 2 lb. turkey (cutlets, steak, goulash — really, any kind) into your Instant Pot. Add 1 T. Dijon mustard, 1 tsp. dried rosemary and 1 bottle of beer. Add salt and pepper to taste.

(For a wonderful “dump dinner,” peel and cube 6 large potatoes and add to Instant Pot with an additional ½ cup water.)

Set Instant Pot on PRESSURE COOK for 1 hour, and allow for natural pressure release.

To serve, mash potatoes and serve with turkey and sauce.

MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI Add 2 cans tomato sauce and an equal amount of water to the Instant Pot. Add ¼ cup sugar, 1 tsp. garlic powder, ½ tsp. dried basil leaves, 2 T. vinegar, 3 dashes cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.

Press SAUTE to quickly bring sauce to a boil.

For the meatballs, combine 1 lb. ground turkey neck (or ground beef), 1 egg, ¼ cup white rice, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 small ground onion, 1 T. ketchup, salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Mix well and refrigerate.

Meatball mix can be made the night before cooking so that the mixture is cold enough to be formed into balls.

(Balls can be formed and frozen in advance so they can be dropped into the sauce even before it comes to a boil.)

Press SLOW COOK, MEDIUM, for 5 hours, or PRESSURE COOK for 1 hour (longer if frozen).

Break ½ pack of spaghetti in half (1 lb.) and add to pot. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring to ensure that they are separated. (Best to cook separately in boiling water [drain and add to meatballs], but if careful to separate, it can be cooked in the sauce.)

BOURBON CHICKEN Cut 2 lb. chicken cutlet into small pieces.

Heat 3 T. oil in Instant Pot on SAUTE. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, ¼ tsp. ginger, ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, 2 T. ketchup, 1 T. apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup apple juice, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1 /3 cup soy sauce and 1/3 cup water and bring to a boil.

Add chicken to mixture and stir to coat well.

OVERVIEW Rav Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, zt”l, better known by the name of his sefarim, Chazon Ish, was born in 1878 in Kossova, Belarus.

In 1933, he moved to Eretz Yisroel, where he dedicated the rest of his life to setting the foundations for renewed Torah life in the days when Eretz Yisroel faced difficult spiritual battles.

He was niftar on 15 Cheshvan 1953, without leaving behind any children.

Every corner of the Chazon Ish’s tiny home on Ben Pesachya Street shouted simplicity and poverty. Still, it served as a focal attraction in Bnei Brak. Yidden of all types streamed to his address, hoping for an audience with this unofficial, yet universally accepted, gadol hador.

Small in stature, and with sharp, penetrating eyes, the Chazon Ish was a legend in his day. He was a gaon and masmid, authoring the sefer Chazon Ish still in his youth. The greatest

and most complicated halachic shailos arrived at his door for conclusive ruling, and he spearheaded the battles of those early years after World War II in Eretz Yisroel. At the same time, his fine middos and trademark small but warm smile embodied his excellence bein adam l’chaveiro.

The Chazon Ish shied away from publicity, despite the public’s constant running after him. He refused to take on a position of rabbanus and even declined official titles from Torah institutions that he was involved with.

When in Europe, the Chazon Ish lived by the belief that one can accomplish more for the public by advancing his personal learning than by being involved in askanus. Upon moving to Eretz Yisroel, however, the Chazon Ish realized that the needs were different. Post–Churban Europe, he accepted the responsibility to rebuild Torah and Yiddishkeit.

Perhaps his primary battle was the campaign for Torah chinuch. At a time when frum institutions were rare and in some places nonexistent, he was constantly promoting the opening of yet another cheder, yeshivah, school, or even another class, so that more Yiddishe children could be granted a pure education.

He personally vouched that anyone who helps to this end, enabling as many children as possible to learn, would be rewarded with all the Torah learning that the children accomplished.

The Chazon Ish was involved in establishing many yeshivos. He was the first one to advise the Ponevezher Rav, zt”l, to buy the plot upon which Ponevezh Yeshivah was built. He convinced Reb Isaac Sher, zt”l, to open the Slabodka Yeshivah, and also pushed and assisted the Viznitzer Rebbe, Reb Chaim Meir Hager, zy”a, in founding “Shikun Viznitz” in Bnei Brak. Of course, the Kollel Chazon Ish, which carries his name until today, is also attributed to him.

When the Satmar Rav, zy”a, visited the Chazon Ish, the two held a lengthy discussion regarding the chal-

THE BORO PARK VIEW / 101

The ads were publicized in all local papers in Eretz Yisroel. “The Even Hapinah for the new buildings in the old city of Bnei Brak will take place on 11 Tammuz 5684 (1924), at 3:00 p.m.”

Polish olim to Eretz Yisroel, with Reb Yitzchak Gershtenkorn at the helm, were toiling to establish the new settlement of Bnei Brak, on the ruins of old.

lenges of the generation’s children. “The only and best solution is yeshivos, chedarim and Bais Yaakov schools,” the Chazon Ish said repeatedly. He posited that it was important to bring more Yidden close to Torah, so that all of the individual sparks of Torah could join together to form a large flame. And this light would surely push away much darkness.

His excitement and delight were visible when he saw that his early dreams of the re-birth of Torah and Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisroel were being fulfilled.

The Chazon Ish was also famous for leading the battle against the draft of girls into the army. He fought until the end, not allowing any compromises to be settled. In this way, he helped preserve the kedushah of Yiddishe homes.

After the war, when many Hungarian and Romanian Yidden arrived in Eretz Yisroel, the Chazon Ish commented, “Great kochos of yiras Shamayim arrived to the Land.”

His own personal yiras Shamayim was extraordinary. With true holiness and piety, he reached great levels of bitachon. Often, when people would come to discuss personal or public tzaros, he would reply, “Nu, the Eibishter wants us to daven.”

The Chazon Ish invested tremendous yegiah in his learning, of-

Early origins of the city are traced back to the days of the Gemara, when Rabbi Akiva taught in his yeshivah there, and to the time of Chizkiyahu Melech Yehudah, as is recorded that Sancheirev of Ashur captured Bnei Brak, among many cities of Yehudah.

One of the first efforts of the new pioneers involved splitting the steep mountain that stood at the entrance to Bnei Brak. This allowed them to establish the main road, known today as Rechov Rabbi Akiva. The work was carried out by the first settlers themselves and took more than two years.

The first settlers endured much hardship until they saw the city develop. With much effort, they pushed through, overcoming each obstacle one at a time, until finally, they witnessed the transformation of their beautiful new neighborhood.

When the Chazon Ish first arrived in Eretz Yisroel, he settled in Tel Aviv. It did not take long before he realized that Bnei Brak was a better choice for him. Soon enough, he moved to Bnei Brak, despite the settlement’s small and delicate state.

ten reviewing the same daf in Gemara for forty days until he felt he had accessed proper clarity! In this way, he toiled until he had command of the entire Torah and was able to rule halacha l’maaseh.

The name “Chazon Ish” is spoken with reverence. Rav Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, zy”a, bequeathed Klal Yisroel with much relevant, current halachic responsa. Perhaps more significant is the groundwork for which he toiled, setting cornerstone after cornerstone and raising the flag of true Torah Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisroel forever.

Serving ice water with lemon wedges? Place slices of lemon into a muffin tin, and fill each compartment with water and then freeze.

Fancy-shmancy pitcher-ready lemon cubes!

Save time by slicing multiple cherry or grape tomatoes in half at once. Just place the whole batch between two lids, and press down on the top lid with one hand. Use your other hand to slice through them all in one shot.

Ran out of cupcake liners? Cut parchment paper into 5-inch squares and place into muffin tins, folding where needed to create flat walls.

Spray oil into a measuring cup before using it for sticky substances like honey. The oil prevents the stickiness from… well, sticking.

Place a cup of water into the microwave with baked goods to prevent them from drying out while reheating.

Pasta reheated in the microwave is notorious for having both cold and hot spots.

To prevent these, arrange pasta on a plate in the shape of a donut before microwaving.

Place your bucket of ice cream into a large freezer bag to keep it soft and scoopable.

If you’ve been cracking the stem of a banana to peel it all these years, there’s an easier way!

Pinch the opposite end and then easily peel it — no tug-of-war involved.

(This is how monkeys peel their bananas!)
