Singing in the rain ‫ָא ִש ָירה לַ ה' ִּכי גָ אֹה גָ ָאה‬ Loud thunder, sparks of lightning Above him, dark clouds form, With no shelter in sight He’s scared of the approaching storm.

Then, from a distance he hears it The soft notes of a song, Telling him of a place Somewhere he'll belong.

The sky is now a menacing gray The forecast ahead is bleak, Cold drops mix with his tears As they fall down his cheek.

With new courage, he joins the chorus His voice so sweet and pure, The raging storm will not win For he is not alone anymore.

So alone, nowhere to turn He wonders about the sun, Will it ever shine again? Will brighter days come?

Once again, he believes in sunshine There’s a way through the pain, With HCS at his side He’s singing in the rain.

It is 2am on the second Seder night. The streets thrum with young families making their way home from the Seder at their parents’. They are all tired, but on a high from the uplifting "LeShana Habaah B'Yerushalayim" songs they just sang and danced to. As sedarim wrap at Nirztah, Yidden are rushing out to shul to count Seﬁra. On their way, they glimpse a few doors swinging open, with young, pure faces inviting Eliyahu HaNavi. The gentle spring breeze makes the candles ﬂicker.

Fathers are proudly walking home surrounded by their family, dressed impeccably in starched white kittels. Young bochurim walk alongside their fathers, talking animatedly about the d'var torah zaidy just shared at the seder. It's the Yom Tov of mesorah. You're ﬁlled with deep satisfaction as you take in the scene before you with your family. As you clutch your haggadah, still moist from the wine you spilled by the 10 makkos, you realize how blessed you are to be a part of a special Am Hanivchar.

Look who's prevailing!

His eyes are still shining all the way at the end of the seder.

Minds filled with knowledge, hearts filled with hope, Rayim children are astoundingly well-prepped for the seder, and for their journeys in life.

(Re: A Diamond for Everyone, Issue 129) It’s been decades since I started collecting Swarovski crystals, and it was therefore very intriguing to read about its production and history. It’s something I so adore. Like always, you never fail to disappoint your readers. Thanks for a great read, M.S.S.

CHOCOLATE?

(Re: A Pesach Collection) Thank you for the most amazing publication and for the most delicious recipes! We were looking forward to the Pesach recipes and were sorely disappointed when most of the sweet recipes featured chocolate or chocolate chips. Many heimish people don’t use these things on Pesach. Is there anything we can use instead? With many thanks, A Local Family THE BORO PARK VIEW RESPONDS: It was, indeed, an unfortunate oversight. For the cookies and meringue dessert, the chocolate chips can be swapped for nuts. Additionally, we have included in this week’s issue a compilation of several of our most popular Pesach baking recipes, which include basic ingredients only. They are all simple to make and can hopefully be enjoyed still this Pesach.

RE: WORKING WITH WHAT THEY HAVE

(Inbox, Issue 129) I was amazed by the family who had no Pesach kitchen, and I marvel at how they work with boxes and their appliances in different places. Kol hakavod! It made me appreciate the fact that I have a Pesach kitchen, and it also brought to mind appreciation for my mother, who did not have a Pesach kitchen years ago. My father, zt”l, would kasher the kitchen the day of bedikas chometz, and my mother would start the cooking on Erev Yom Tov. She was, baruch Hashem, blessed with a large family, and I have no idea how she managed this. For us the lastminute schlepping was fun, but I’m sure less so for my mother! C.E.

FROM MY SIDE

(Re: Hear It From the Helping Hands, Issue 127) Thank you for your “view” from the other side regarding cleaning help. It was very amusing. I’d also like to communicate some pointers to my cleaning help: 1. We want you to be rested and energized, and therefore we give you a variety of snacks, drinks, lunch and perhaps even dinner. We don’t know your dietary preferences. You may have a wheat allergy, be lactose-intolerant, or don’t like soda. But we mean well. 2. Please don’t agree to remain longer at the job before mine without asking me (especially before Pesach). I’m waiting for you and need your help just as badly, if not more so. 3. Try to familiarize yourself with the holidays of the people for whom you’re working. The basics are the same for most of us. That way, you won’t be fazed when the mistress of the household gets hysterical when she sees you eating a sandwich in a room that is ready for Pesach. 4. Do not chat on the phone while you work unless it makes your work massively more efficient. And do not pause your work to figure out a potential client’s schedule. 5. It’s uncomfortable for the employer to mandate a dress code, but it is also uncomfortable for her to have you in her home if you’re inappropriately attired. 6. Don’t spend precious minutes trying to unravel the mysteries of my vacuum cleaner, cleaning agent, or guessing which rag/sponge/scouring pad I’d prefer to use. Just ask me. 7. My kids may be in your way. I may think it cute that my baby follows you around with a pail and rag, but you may find it annoying. Just communicate that fact to me. 8. I know some words in your language. Please learn some in mine about cleaning (aside from taxi, appointment and hospital; water, drink, and scrub may be helpful). 9. Finally — please show up! Little can be more frustrating at 8 a.m. than waiting and waiting and waiting for help that doesn’t appear. If you have an emergency, call me so we can figure out an alternate schedule. If someone else “offered” you a “better opportunity,” that’s an entirely different topic of conversation. Please note that the intensity of the work will not continue after the holiday. Nerves are fraying, patience is wearing thin, and we’re watching the clock, but we’re all trying to be concerned about each other’s strengths and capabilities. We appreciate every ounce of effort. While on the topic, I also want to point out that the increase in the amount we pay per hour has nothing to do with inflation and everything to do with “supply and demand.” R.S.

FROM STRESS TO JOY “Ima, can I get a new pair of tights for yom tov?” Dina asks. Her mother studies her for a moment and bites her lip. She goes to her purse and rummages inside. She returns with empty hands. “Uh, Dina. We’ll buy it… next week. Okay?” she says, trying to keep her voice steady.

Dina shrugs and goes out to play jump rope with her friends. But her mother is left inside, face in her hands, her heart aching so strongly she can hardly breathe. A new pair of tights? What about fruits? Vegetables? Some chicken for yom tov? Yes, it’s inconceivable. But there are so many families in Eretz Yisroel who can’t get the simplest Pesach basics onto the table. Throughout the year, they try to sustain their families with cheap yet nourishing foods. But on Pesach, the bulk of their cheap go-to’s, like pasta and rice, are off the menu. Instead, an array of expensive specialty food items is required. It’s a struggle. A struggle so stressful it consumes every waking hour. Each month is a rollercoaster ride, not to be ridden by the faint of heart. Rent, tuition, utilities. The never-ending lineup of expenses constantly demands their attention. They do need a roof over their heads. Their children do need to learn. But they do need to eat, too, don’t they? They try to hold on, but they feel like they’re falling. It’s just too much. And then suddenly, it’s Nissan. And while the

world is cooking up a storm of baked chicken, potato kugel, and apple compote, they wonder where they’ll find the money to purchase potatoes for karpas. New tights? That’s a faraway dream. Then Ezras Yakov, founded by Rabbi Menachem Teitelbaum, steps in to ease that crushing burden. It’s been thirty years. Thirty years of ensuring that no family ever goes hungry. Thirty years of ensuring that no family is left struggling for the basics. Thirty years of ensuring that no family is pained by the thought of yom tov. “I get by all year, but with five children, we still can’t meet the annual Pesach expenses, even with both of us working. Wine, matzah, even without meat, we would get deep into debt that we would have no idea how to repay. Pesach is possible now with Ezras Yakov’s support. We too can feel the joy of yom tov!” They scavenge. They scrimp. They save. They do everything they possibly can to pull together a decent yom tov. But when they realize they simply can’t, Ezras Yakov’s food packages come as an enormous relief. Eggs, onion, potatoes, apples, yogurt. Those are just some Pesach staples we take for granted. But they are far from a given in many homes. In a giant undertaking, Ezras Yakov prepares food for over 1,200 families. The Pesach food distribution takes place in a beautiful hall, so the families can get what they need in the most respectable way. But it’s not a nameless, faceless operation. Ezras Yakov personally knows each family and follows their needs to make certain they are met. There’s an element of tension in every home before yom tov. There’s so much to do in order to get the house and family ready for Pesach. But in homes where there is financial stress, that tension is immeasurably stronger. Nerves are frayed even more than usual, and the entire household feels the strain. When the families receive Ezras Yakov’s food package, the pressure is lifted and they are able to experience true simchas yom tov. Throughout the year, Ezras Yakov distributes weekly Shabbos packages and hachnasas kallah funds to hundreds of families. Every part of the operation is done by volunteers, so there is zero overhead. Now the Ezras Yakov Pesach distribution costs a staggering $300,000. They cannot possibly do this without your help. You can step in and transform Pesach for hundreds of families. You can step in and turn a time of struggle into a time of happiness. You can step in and ensure that your fellow Yid will not stare at a bare Seder table this year. Yes, you can make all the difference for 1,200 families this yom tov. A kosheren and freilichen Pesach!

Bail Reform Rollbacks, Gas Tax Relief and More as New York State Budget Passes One week past its official deadline, Governor Kathy Hochul passed her first state budget, the $220 billion package including multiple items that have little to do with actual spending. The New York Times reported that the most contentious issues were changes to the state’s 2019 bail reform instituted by former Governor Andrew Cuomo, which barred judges from setting bail in all but the most serious cases. With defendants back out on the streets within hours of their arrest, and some taking advantage of the opportunity to commit repeat offenses, bail reform was trounced by many on both sides of the aisle, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who like Cuomo, is a Democrat. Under the newly passed budget, judges would have the ability to consider whether a defendant could potentially cause serious harm if released, giving them the ability to set bail for those they consider likely threats instead of releasing them back out onto the streets. It would also create an opportunity to arrest defendants who are already awaiting a court appearance on a previous charge, if they committed certain crimes. At the gas pump, consumers will be heaving a sigh of relief as of June 1, with the state slashing its gas tax from 33 to 16 cents per gallon. Governor Hochul estimated that the move, which will remain in effect until the end of 2022, will save individuals and businesses approximately $585 million over its six-month duration. The budget also included $800 million in relief for renters at risk of eviction, $250 million for those who are behind on their utility bill and $125 million to benefit homeowners and landlords impacted by the pandemic. Details have yet to be clarified about $1.2 billion allocated for bonuses to front-line health care workers and a $3-per-hour minimum wage increase for home health care workers. Other notable items in the budget include increased child care subsidies and allowing bars and restaurants to sell alcohol drinks as part of larger takeout orders for the next three years. Hochul described her budget as historic, categorizing it as a blueprint for the state’s future in both the short and the long term. “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to not just bring relief to families and put more money in people’s pockets today, but also to make historic investments in New Yorkers for years ahead,” said the governor. “I thank Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins and Speaker Heastie for their hard work and collaboration in putting together this

agreement that will usher in a new era of a stronger, safer, more prosperous New York State.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams was one of several who were critical of Hochul’s budget, reported the New York Post. Hochul had responded positively to Adams’ request for mayoral control of the city’s public schools during a recent meeting, but the mayor was unable to get elected officials in Albany on board with his plan. He expressed his disappointment in the decision, saying that more than a million schoolchildren in the five boroughs were currently facing levels of uncertainty in their education. “I need to continue the progress in schools and also make sure we make the right decisions around public safety,” said Adams. “And I’m going to continue to partner with Albany to accomplish this.” The mayor was also unhappy with the budget’s bail reform initiatives, saying that they failed to fully address public safety issues. “Clearly there’s more to be done,” said Adams. Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch pulled no punches in his criticisms, saying that the measures included in the budget were constructed to make the public feel safer, without tackling the larger issue of “real public safety.” “Their proposed changes are political window dressing that won’t do much to change the reality on our streets,” said Lynch, adding that Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie are “getting ready to push their next slate of antipolice measures as soon as this weak budget passes.”

Adams Reflects on First 100 Days in Office It has been a tough three months for Mayor Eric Adams, and after 100 days in office, the mayor said that New York City is a work in progress, with decades of accumulated problems that need to be addressed. Adams has been working hard to follow through on his campaign promises to promote safety in the five boroughs, with 1,100 guns removed from city streets, reported ABC 7. He recently rolled out the NYPD’s Anti-Gun Unit, which as already made over 100 arrests, but Adams agreed that there is still a long way to go in combatting a trend that has swept through the entire country. In addition to making anti-crime measures a top priority, Adams has been dismantling homeless encampments and doing his best to find shelter for those who have been living on the streets and in the subways. That effort is also intended to promote safety on the trains.

Asked what kind of grade he would give his administration on its performance so far, Adams conceded that he still has a long road to travel and that he thinks his office has earned an I for incomplete. But the mayor remained resolute in his commitment, insisting that he is laying a foundation for a safer New York, and that the city will bounce back. “This is a resilient city,” Adams told NY1. “There’s two types of Americans — those who live in New York and those who wish they could.”

Once Again, Post Office Hikes Stamp Prices Less than a year after raising the price of mailing a first-class letter from 55 to 58 cents, the United States Postal Service has announced plans to raise rates again in order to keep up with inflation and rising operating expenses. CBS News reported that the USPS plans to raise the price of a first-class stamp to 60 cents on July 10. The last rate hike went into effect in August 2021, slapping customers with an overall 9% jump in price, just over a percentage point over the current 7.9% inflation rate. The post office has been experiencing ongoing financial difficulties, and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy implemented lower delivery standards last year, which significantly slowed turnaround times for first-class mail. Paul Steidler, a senior fellow at the Lexington Institute and an expert on the postal service, said that the USPS has failed to keep up with its scaled-back scheduling, making the increase in price all the more objectionable. “It’s one thing to have price increases, but it’s another to have absolutely abysmal service accompanying that price increase,” said Steidler. “The price increase is not in the best interest of the American people.” The USPS announced the jump in pricing on the same day that President Joe Biden signed the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 into law, providing $107 billion in funding to the agency. The postal service had said that it would run out of funding by 2024 without congressional assistance, having sustained fourteen consecutive years of operating in the red. Under the new law, the USPS will continue to meet its obligation of delivering mail six days a week, with the exception of federal holidays, natural disasters and other special circumstances. It would also relieve the agency of its obligation of financing health care benefits for its workers ahead of time for the next 75 years, a requirement that doesn’t exist for other federal agencies or private companies.

CHAPTER 6 RECAP: Zach Ganz feels that the time is right to announce his bid for a seat in Congress. Zach is also the eldest living descendant of Mischa Ginzburg — and thus heir to the Rebbe’s manuscript…

ichael Bromfman leaned back in his chair and smiled. “I hear you’re delivering an address at Garrity University.” Zach Ganz nodded. “Your old alma mater.” Which was why he was having dinner with Michael in the first place. Michael had fond memories of his time in Garrity, so this was a good time to ask for a donation. They sat in Michael’s restaurant, a quietly luxurious place that old-money millionaires loved to be seen in. The tablecloths over the small, round tables reached almost to the floor, and the subdued clink of cutlery was the loudest sound in the room. Michael nodded appreciatively. “You remembered!” His eyes glazed over with memory as he lifted a glass of wine to his lips. “Did I ever tell you about the time two of my buddies, both engineers, took apart my car?” Of course he had. It was Michael’s favorite story and he told it constantly. Zach had heard it at least five times. “No,” he said, feigning surprise. “Took your car apart?”

“Down to the nuts and bolts!” Michael chortled. “They reassembled it in my living room! I’d been in Chicago for two days. When I came back, my car was gone. I was on the phone with the cops when I walked into my apartment. The old Chevy was sitting on my rug!” He burst into muted laughter, his large body heaving silently for several seconds. “I was on the second floor, too; those guys worked hard for the prank. And there, next to the Chevy, was a sign scribbled on cardboard: PRIVATE PARKING. VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED!” He laughed again. “Wow,” Zach said, eyes wide. “How’d you get the car back out?” “Oh, they came by a few hours later and took care of it. By evening you’d never have known it was there in the first place.” He winked. “I’ve got pictures somewhere to prove it, though.” This would really be a great story, Zach thought, if not for what came next. “Yeah, fun guys those two,” Michael mused. They both work for me, now… “They both work for me now,” Michael said, eyes flashing cruelly. He came back to the pres-

ent and smiled again. “So, what can I do for you, Zach?” “Well, I probably shouldn’t say anything just yet,” Zach said coyly. “But… I’m going to be running for the House next year.” Michael chuckled. “So! The rumors are true. And you’ve come to squeeze me for money, hey?” Zach nodded good-naturedly. “For every penny, sir.” “You lousy politicians!” Michael snorted. “What you can’t tax out of us, you wheedle out in contributions!” In reality, Zach knew Michael couldn’t be more pleased. The old bully loved throwing his weight around, and if he could make it look like he was the victim, all the better. But getting someone into Congress was exactly the kind of thing his already overinflated ego would love. He would contribute, that was certain. It was only a question of how much and how soon. Also, how much the “donation” would cost Zach later… He was eyeing Zach like a giftwrapped package left on his doorstep. This was a present he hadn’t asked for and didn’t need, but he’d enjoy owning all the same. That was doubtless how Michael thought of his “donation” — as a purchase. It made Zach’s stomach turn. Skulking around and asking for money was never one of Zach’s favorite parts of the job. But you didn’t always get a choice. Campaigns cost big money, and while his staff could handle the small and mid-level donors, the big fish had to be courted by the man himself. A waiter brought their entrées. Michael turned his attention to an enormous steak, barely cooked and still dripping juice. Yet another thing for him to happily chew to pieces. Zach had ordered a more modest pepper steak. It was delicious, but he didn’t have much of an appetite. In politics, eating was just another thing you did for show, to make people believe you were a real person. (What else would you be? A marionette?) So he ate, because he was expected to. But he could never really enjoy it. The phone in his breast pocket rang suddenly. It was the phone he reserved for friends and family. A perfect excuse. “I’m so sorry, Michael, it’s my pri-

vate line. I have to take this.” around red tape, something like that. Michael was too engrossed in his Whatever it was, he resolved to help if steak to care. He waved one oversized he could. hand in what he must have thought “Okay. I’ll be home tonight from…” was a gracious gesture, and Zach got he checked his watch. It was a quarter up and stepped off to the side. past seven now. He was speaking at a “Hello?” rally at half past nine. How soon could “Mr. Ganz?

Ganz nodded. “Okay, that’s fair enough. But what am I supposed to do with this thing, once I have it? I mean, I’m sure it’s a nice heirloom, a bit of family history and all that. But I doubt my Hebrew is good enough to read much of it. It should really be in a museum.” “No!” Izzy said a little too forcefully. Ganz turned to him with raised eyebrows. “I mean,” he added quickly, “it shouldn’t be in a museum. It should stay with the family. And it should be learned from, used, studied.” “We were hoping that, if you don’t see any use for it, you might consider donating it to the Lodz shul,” Chaim Simcha picked up. “I’m working on a project to have all the Rebbe’s works published as a set, with an added commentary where necessary.” He paused and considered. “Perhaps we’ll even add a translation.” Zach Ganz smiled. “I suppose that might be nice to see, Rabbi. But don’t do it for me; I doubt I’d end up reading much of it. Still, I don’t mind lending it to you semi-permanently. As you pointed out, I don’t really have much use for it.” “Great!” Izzy tossed down the last of his drink and breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m so glad you’re willing to help!” That was much easier than they’d expected. Baruch Hashem! “It’s my pleasure,” Zach said, waving the matter away. “I’ll have my family documents mailed to the Polish embassy tomorrow, and I’ll let you know when the manuscript arrives.” Izzy looked at Chaim Simcha, and their faces fell. “I’m — I’m afraid it’s not that simple,” Chaim Simcha explained. “Like I said, you have to go there — to present yourself in person.” Zach shrugged. “Fine. But it might take a few days before I can get to the embassy.” “Not the embassy,” Izzy said with a gulp. He’d thought they’d made this clear. “You have to go down there.” Ganz frowned. “You don’t mean to Poland, do you?” “I’m afraid so,” Chaim Simcha told him. “One of us could come along, if you’d prefer,” Izzy offered. But Zach gave them a sad smile. “Listen, fellas, it’s not possible. Especially now. I wouldn’t mind doing this if I were already there. But I can’t schedule a trip halfway across the world for this! Are you kidding? I’m about to run for Congress!” “I’ll happily cover the funds for your trip,” Chaim Simcha began, but Zach cut him off. “It’s not about the money,” he insisted. “Honestly. I’ve got a campaign to run, and I can’t disappear like that.” He shook his head and shrugged. “I’m sorry, guys, I really am. But there’s no way.” He sighed and stood up, offering them each his hand. “I’m sorry you came out here for nothing, and I hope you find another way to get that manuscript. But if it means a trip to Europe, I’m not your man. Not this time…” TO BE CONTINUED...

DOUBLE CHAPTER

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE RECAP: Mahmoud

comes to the meeting with many of his family members. The Arabs refuse to allow him to sign that the land is Shikovitzer’s — until a compromise is suggested: Mahmoud’s clan will get the land for 70 years, and after that, his children will meet with either Shikovitzer’s or Binyamin’s children in this place, and at that point, the land will revert to Shikovitzer’s ownership.

“I

must say, your voice sounds excellent, Ariella,” Sarah Reiness said as she stood at the sink rinsing her brushes. It had been a while since she’d touched any of her painting supplies, and when she had wanted to do so today, she’d discovered that almost all of the brushes were dry and hard. Apparently, she hadn’t rinsed them well the last time she’d finished using them. “You’re not hoarse at all, and your words are flowing smoothly. It’s really amazing. What is it, the air in the yishuv?” “You tell me — you’re the expert,” Ariella said with a laugh. “Can the change of air bring such an improvement?” “Of course it can. And so can a change of atmosphere.” “So then it’s good all around,” Ariella said. “What’s been going on?” “Normal, baruch Hashem. Working hard.” Ariella’s voice sounded vibrant. “Are you talking about your work with Bassi’s children, tzaddeikes?” “Yes, tzaddeikes yourself.” “And what about in other areas?” “Nothing at all.” Ariella paused for a minute. “Did Zahava send you to me?” she asked suddenly. “Zahava?” “My good friend.” “Oh, no, not at all. Why?” “Because she’s been after me lately.” “Let her catch you once, and then she’ll stop,” Sarah suggested.

“Oh, I mean that she’s after me about a very specific topic.” “I’m happy to hear that there is one person who dares to do it, and that still call her a friend!” Sarah laughed. “Because I also had a few ideas. But I didn’t want to take the risk.” Ariella laughed in response, but didn’t say anything. “So is that it? She’s running after you with shidduch suggestions, and you continue to consider her a friend? If so, can I also try?” “Sarah, I came here to rest.” Ariella lowered her tone. “Please, I don’t want the two of you to ruin it for me.” “I’m happy you’re calling all this work I set you up with a rest,” Sarah said cheerfully. “If this is your resting state, then things must not be bad at all.” “Nothing’s bad at all, baruch Hashem. I just want to stretch this breather for as long as I can, until I have no choice. Hey, Shulamis! Grab Malka, will you? She’s trying to climb up the tree to get to Gadi!” “Who is climbing trees?” Sarah gasped in alarm. “Gadi, of course,” Ariella said. “Do you think the fact that his brother fell is going to prevent him from climbing trees forever?” “Yisroel Meir just didn’t know how to do it!” Gadi shouted from somewhere above her. “That’s why he fell, poor guy.” “He fell because Hashem wanted him to,” Ariella corrected him. “But you, please, make an effort that it shouldn’t happen. A person is not allowed to endanger himself, and I have no desire to show up with you at Rambam Hospital and give your mother the shock of her life, okay?” “Are you in the yard?” Sarah asked. “A bit further away. We had a little picnic outside for supper because the kids behaved really well today.” “How nice!” Sarah was happy. “I would join you all if I could.” “I wanted to invite you, but then I remembered that it’s clinic day in Bnei Brak for you, and by the time you get back…” “So you’ll have to invite me another time! Wait, isn’t it cold outside?” “We’re bundled up well. Besides Gadi, of course, who didn’t even want to wear a coat.” Ariella sounded apologetic. “But his mother gave him her permission, because I refused to go that far.” She lowered her voice. “He is so much like Osher, Sarah. It’s a shame my parents didn’t live in a place like this when we were kids. Osher would have blossomed in such an environment.” “Gadi spends at least a third of his day out of this environment, too, you know,” Sarah reminded her gently. “He goes to school, where he has to sit nicely in his seat and learn. Children need structure, not only expanse and freedom.” “That’s true.” A long silence followed. Finally, a voice: “Ariella, is this stick good? And this rock?” “What’s that?” Sarah wanted to know.

And neither of them noticed what was going on downstairs, in the yard.

“We’re organizing a drumming workshop,” Ariella explained. “Shulamis and Brocha will drum, and the boys are going to sing. Do you have any song suggestions?” “Sure!” A smile crossed Sarah’s lips, but it faded as soon as Elazar entered the room and she saw the expression on his face and the phone pressed to his ear. All the songs she knew suddenly vanished from her memory. “Maybe… maybe Mekimi?” “Mekimi? Today’s kids don’t even know that song, Sarah!” Sarah couldn’t suggest another song, not with her husband looking as stressed as he did right there. She quickly ended the conversation and turned her attention to Elazar. “They need to realize that there is no such thing as ‘not showing up,’” Elazar was saying. “If I come to the meeting and they don’t, then automatically, the property reverts to Jewish ownership. What? Of course I hope that that’s what’ll happen anyway, but I want things to be as fair as possible. For their part, they need to realize that by playing games with us, they only stand to lose out.” “So they claim that that would not be the case,” the other speaker contended. “Based on their lawyer’s response, it’s not that simple.” “And do you think he’s right?!” Elazar paced back and forth in the small dining room, picking up the paintbrush that Sarah had just cleaned. “I don’t think so, but it’ll bring us

to court, hearings, and all that kind of headache — which will end up costing lots of money, and I’m not even sure you’ll get the lot in the end.” “And the five thousand dollars that I promised to give them if they come to the meeting, just as payment for their efforts, that doesn’t talk to them?” The wet brush touched the white lily on the patterned wallpaper. “It’s not a paintbrush for walls, Elazar,” Sarah murmured, but he didn’t hear her. “Send them the message again, and attach the statement from the Property Registrar. They should realize that it’s better for them to cooperate with us willingly, and to profit from it, than to give us back the lot by default.” Finally Elazar fell silent and listened to the person on the other end of the line, dunking the paintbrush into a cup of dirty water as he did. He didn’t notice the dirty drops that dotted the table, and Sarah tried not to notice them either. And neither of them noticed what was going on downstairs, in the yard. * * * * *

Fuad liked the thrill, but not the fear. One thing was certain: He liked the rustle of the bill that was warming his pants pocket, and the additional bills that would join it tomorrow morning. As it happened, the gasoline he had just taken from Reiness’ car would be what would ignite the house. What

could he do — it was the most available car in the area, and the lock of the gas tank was broken anyway. He didn’t think it would matter to the Yahud if he was missing a bit of gas; what the liquid was being used for would matter much more. Crouching behind the car, Fuad placed the pipe between his lips and sucked in gently, grimacing involuntarily at the benzene’s sharp odor. A second before the liquid entered his throat, he pulled the pipe out and stuck it into the large jerry can, listening to the sloshing sound as the dark liquid streamed into the receptacle. Good. Now he had to deal with the fabrics that Jalal had given him, and in no time there would be quite a ruckus in this yard. He couldn’t walk in through the gate, but he managed to get in from the back of the building. The segment of the gate that faced Jasmine Street was a bit sunken into the ground, and he jumped over it without attracting attention. Jalal had told him that he didn’t know if there were cameras there, but even if there were, Fuad wasn’t going to allow them to get a clear photo of him. His face was covered, and anyway, he only planned to be there for less than a minute. Fuad had always been very agile and swift, and a lot less than a minute later, a small flame was burning, hungrily licking the dry shrubs that grew in the gap between the house and the ground, skipping merrily from one branch to the next.

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR

he small pupils shone as they gazed at Ariella, who smiled back. She put her finger into the tiny palm, waited for the fingers to close around it, and sat still, just she and Kreindy. Kreindy’s unbelievably calm nature was a bit of a problem sometimes. If not for the angelic sweetness that came

along with being a baby, barely anyone would notice her. She hardly cried. Even when hungry, she would moan delicately, and after receiving a few ounces of her bottle, she’s smile dreamily and fall asleep. It was strange that a child of such an energetic mother, in such a busy household, could be the polar opposite of them

all. All? Ariella reminded herself that she didn’t really know the father at all, and from hearing stories about the oldest son, who was in the hospital, she’d figured out that he was a pretty placid kid. Kreindy seemed to also have inherited the calmer genes in the family. “She’s so cute,” a voice whispered be-

hind Ariella. She didn’t turn around. “Shulamis, go to sleep already,” she said, with a tinge of impatience. “But I’m bored in bed.” “So make up a story.” “I don’t know how to make things up.” Even without looking at her, Ariella imagined the familiar shrug. Was this what tired mothers felt like at the end of the day? Her first instinct was to raise her voice. What more did this child want from her? She had been with them all day, and they’d picked flowers, colored, had contests, made a fun supper together… What now? Couldn’t Shulamis let her have a few quiet moments with Kreindy? But she didn’t have the privilege of giving Shulamis a good scolding. After all, she wasn’t the mother here; she was just a long-term babysitter. “I’ll start the story,” she said with a yawn. “But then you really have to go to sleep, okay?” “Fine.” Ariella looked at Kreindy lying in her arms, toying with the nipple of the half-filled bottle with her tongue. “Once upon a time, a girl woke up and heard a noise coming from her family’s toy closet. She looked at her two-year-old brother to see if he’d gotten out of bed, but he was sleeping deeply. The noise continued, and the strangest thing of all was that the closet door was completely closed. Only the teddy bear’s ears peeked out from underneath it.” Ariella fell silent. “And now I have to make up the rest?” “Yes.” The girl sighed deeply. “It’s a waste of time for me to do it. Doesn’t it make more sense if you tell me what happened next? You know how to tell a story much better than me.” “That’s because at your age, I practiced making up stories.” A few drops of milk dribbled onto the baby’s chin, and Ariella wiped them away. “If I do all the work for you now, then you won’t be able to tell your children any stories when you’re my age.” “Or I’ll tell them yucky stories, and they’ll just have to manage with that.” Shulamis giggled at the thought, and then moved one step toward her bedroom. “My mother says that Hashem gives mothers exactly what their children need from them. So maybe Hashem sent you to us so that you can teach us how to make up stories, because I like doing it. And Mommy does lots of things really well, but she’s not that great with stories. Okay, good night!” Ariella sat still. Had Hashem sent her here so that nineyear-old Shulamis should grow up with a knack for storytelling? Clearly. The question only was, what else had she been sent here for? Hashem hadn’t wanted her to spend a month and a half of her life in this place for nothing; that much was certain. She was happy here, and she gained a tremendous amount from the conversations with Bassi and her sister Sarah. Some parts of their personalities were so similar to hers, and they dealt with life so much better than she did. “Do you really think that having an organized house is the most important thing in the world?” Sarah had chided her yesterday. “You manage somehow! So it’s not so neat or sparkling clean all day and all night. Who cares? The main thing is that the home should be a calm and happy place to be.” 188

“An organized house?!” Bassi wondered at the term. “Do you mean to make me laugh, or was that a mistake, Ariella? Do you realize what a miracle it is that I didn’t turn out to be a square, boring mother with a million rules? There are a few children in this family who would not have been able to handle me at all!” Ariella stood up and paced around the big room, with Kreindy’s head nestled on her shoulder. Her parents didn’t have a million rules, but their

Osher I sat on my bed and looked at him. He was very tall, had a black beard, and long, curled peyos in front of his ears. His pistol stuck out of his belt like a lighthouse. “You know,” I began, “it’s a little funny to have someone who is twentyeight come to learn in a place where the oldest student is twenty-three.” “You know,” he replied in the exact same tone, “it’s a little funny to have a sixteen-year-old boy talk so rudely to someone who is twelve years older than him.” “Fine, I didn’t mean it.” “But I did.” Doron Nachman opened the little cabinet and stuck his backpack inside. Then he turned back to me. “Well, I did mean to learn here, in addition to being the security guard. What difference does age make? Have you ever heard of Rabi Akiva?” “Yeah.” “Nu? So the age difference there was greater, right?” “No. I mean, yes. And it would be better if you don’t ask me math questions if you don’t want to fight with me, okay? It’s my weak point. Or rather, one of my weak points.” “It’s actually one of my stronger points,” he said pleasantly. “I was very good at math, but it’s not always easy to find parnassah in that field.” “Are you a baal teshuvah?” “That’s right.” “So is my father. And he’s also good at math.” “Oh! And are we similar?” I looked at him. “Totally not. You’re a Breslover, right?” “Yes.” “So you were chozer b’teshuvah, you became a Breslover chassid, and then you became a security guard,” I said to him. “That’s like reading the last line of a very fat book,” he said with a laugh. “But yes, you’re right. If you skip over all the messy chapters in my life, then right now I am a security guard. But it’s probably not my last stop.”

She didn’t have the privilege of giving Shulamis a good scolding. After all, she wasn’t the mother here; she was just a long-term babysitter. house was very organized and regulated. Nosson’s parents also hadn’t had a million rules, but they were very tidy and organized people, and their son had been too. If not for his good nature, which made him accept the mess with understanding, who knew what would have happened? And maybe it wasn’t just understanding? Perhaps there was some quiet expectation on Nosson’s part that with time, she would learn to be more structured? But she hadn’t learned to be organized. There was no one and nothing to do it for. Maybe if there would have been, she would have tried to learn to set her home up that way, but chances were she would have earned very poor grades in that area. How had Shulamis put it? “Hashem gives mothers exactly what their children need from them.” Apparently, He also gives husbands what they need. And if those husbands go on to a better world, where there are no physical needs, then their wives, or widows, will battle their problems until Moshiach comes, and it won’t bother them at all. A tinny voice pushed Ariella to revisit this thought, but she ignored it. Because if the voice was coming to tell her that she didn’t have to stay this way until Moshiach comes, then she really didn’t want to listen.

“It’s a bit nerve-racking to live in a place that needs a fulltime security guard,” I said as I looked out the window. Since the fire in the yard the day before yesterday, I’d been looking downstairs a lot. “I kind of feel that something may happen any minute.” “‘If Hashem does not guard a city, then the watchman keeps vigil in vain,’” he reminded me. “I don’t think you need to be afraid. As I understood from Rav Elazar, no one meant to do anything to you. The problem is the place, this house. That’s what they might want to damage.” “The back room.” He looked at me. “What?” “The back room,” I repeated. “The whole problem is with the back room downstairs. That’s our shiur room. Come on, as if you don’t know!” “I do know,” Doron Nachman said slowly. “The question is how you know.” “Oh, Reb Elazar told me a little bit, and I figured some stuff out myself.” “You?” He looked me up and down and fingered his beard exactly the way my fifth grade rebbi used to. Which made me laugh. “Yes, me. Why is that surprising?” He looked at me again, but now his gaze held a lot more respect than I ever saw in my fifth grade rebbi’s eyes. “Good to know,” he said. He prepared two plastic cups and a bottle of strawberry-flavored soda. “What else did Reb Elazar tell you?” “That his father had a will,” I said. “It’s connected to the back room and all that.” He handed me a cup filled with red carbonated liquid. “Nice. So you’re all up to date.” “Not all,” I said. “I just know a few details about it, that’s all.” “And everyone here knows what you do?” “I don’t think so. Or maybe they do? What do I know? He told everyone to pay attention if anything strange happens or if we see suspicious activity. I think the Rav speaks to me personally more than he talks to the others, but maybe he speaks to the others when I don’t notice.” For some reason, Doron Nachman found that idea funny. “Maybe,” he said. “In any case, Reb Elazar told me that this whole thing is a very sensitive subject.” He made a bracha and drank. “Of course,” I said. “It’s not a topic we discuss randomly over supper or in the carpentry shop, if that’s what you thought I meant.” He laughed again and tossed his empty cup into the garbage. “It’s really the kind of thing that’s better not to talk about. I’m sure that you’re careful, Osher.”

“You?” He looked me up and down and fingered his beard exactly the way my fifth grade rebbi used to. Which made me laugh.

MAKE A SPICE RUB WITH THE FOLLOWING:

DIREC TIONS

4 2

DIREC TIONS

1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and blend together with an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth.

1. Line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment paper, and lay the onions over the bottom.

2. Line a plate with paper towels.

2. Score the brisket and place it on the onions. Pour the oil over the brisket and coat it well. Next, massage the spice rub all over the brisket until it is completely coated.

3. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into the pan.

tsp. salt tsp. black pepper (optional)

3. Add the wine. 4. Cover the meat with another piece of parchment paper, then wrap the pan tightly with silver foil. 5. Place the meat into the refrigerator to marinate for a few hours (optional). 6. Preheat the oven to 300°, and bake the brisket for 4 hours. 7. When baked through, shred the meat using two forks.

SAU TEED ONIONS

6 6

Spanish onions, sliced into half-circles tsp. oil Salt

DIREC TIONS

1. Coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Heat the pan on mediumhigh heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the onion slices and stir to coat the onions with oil. Spread the onions evenly over the pan and let them cook, stirring occasionally. 2. After 10 minutes, sprinkle some salt over the onions. The trick to keeping the onions from drying out as they cook is to add a little water to the pan. 3. Let the onions cook for another 30 minutes to an hour, stirring every few minutes. As soon as the onions start sticking to the pan, let them stick a little and brown, but then stir them before they burn. Continue to cook and scrape, cook and scrape, until the onions are a rich, browned color.

4. Tilt the pan so the mixture coats the bottom of the pan evenly, then place it back onto the flame. Once it sets (that takes about a minute), flip the crepe with a spatula and count to 10. When done, transfer the crepe to a plate. 5. Repeat this process with the rest of the batter. T O S TA C K T H E CREPE PIE:

1. Place one crepe on a plate. Add a few heaping tablespoons of pulled brisket, and spread it evenly to create a thin layer. Top with another crepe. 2. Add a few heaping tablespoons of the sauteed onions, spread evenly, and cover with another crepe. 3. Top with some more brisket and onions. 4. Repeat these steps until all the crepes have been used.

OLDIES, BUT GOODIES

COOKIES BY: D. W E R C B E R G E R

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MIDBAR

Chassidim Among Cacti Casa Grande, Arizona

Deep in the Arizonian desert, surrounded by red-toned sand that stretches as far as the eye can see, an oasis of Torah flourishes. Nestled within the town of Casa Grande, a young Jewish community has sprouted up. Here among the cacti there’s even a kollel where chassidish yungerleit sit, bent over holy seforim hour after hour. When one thinks of this precious community, one can’t help but call to mind the Tehillim of Dovid Hamelech, who — like them — was in a parched land but thirsted only for his Maker, crying out, “Tzamah lecha nafshi, kamah lecha besari, b’eretz tziyah v’ayef bli mayim — I yearn to be near You, my flesh desires Your closeness in a barren and weary land without water.”

FROM COVID TO CASA GRANDE

How is it that a chassidish community sprouts up in the middle of a desert, far from the frum-opolises of the East Coast? To answer that question, I call Mrs. Miry Rubin, whose family is credited with founding the kehillah. “My husband is in real estate and loves Arizona. He dreamed of moving here about a year before COVID hit, and we came during the summer to see if people could handle the heat. Then COVID hit, and my husband felt that New York wasn’t the best place to be living at the time, so he decided to invest in several homes here to start off the community. There was no school then anyway, so we felt it was the right time, and we chose to be the Nachshon.” Though there are now 28 year-round families, with another few scheduled to move by the time this article goes to print, it took a while for the community to pick up traction. The Rubins

and a few other families have been living in Casa Grande for more than a year and a half, but until recently, the community was still lacking a Yiddishe infrastructure. “We got a minyan this year after Sukkos when the kollel started up,” Mrs. Rubin says, referring to the kollel headed by Rabbi Eliezer Zusya Goralnik. Under his tutelage, a handful of yungerleit spend their days shteiging. Their children, too, keep up a learning schedule with a cheder for the boys as well as a fully functioning school for girls. Mrs. Gitty Goralnik, the principal, describes the flexibility necessary to keep the school successful for all ages, factoring in that though some grades have multiple children, other grades are extremely sparse on students. The rebbis each juggle several grades as well, helping the cheder boys of all ages grow in their learning. Though schooling in Casa Grande is still in the fledgling stage, the ever-increasing interest in the community promises that it shouldn’t be long before the classes are full. “I’m hoping that next year we’ll have a class for each age,” Mrs. Goralnik tells me. “The people that came to live here are all very eager for it to grow. We’re very optimistic.” As an added boon, the schooling may one day be easy on the pockets of parents. When I speak to Mr. Rubin, he tells me that children who have lived in Arizona for more than one year have become eligible for tuition funding, and the aim of the game is that no one should have to pay tuition. GUIDING THE FLOCK

With Yiddishe kinder growing up so far away from a long-established community, one wonders who is shepherding these “tzon kedoshim,” this holy flock. Moreover, how is he able to do so when the community is so varied? “We have all different types of chassidim,” Roizy*, one of the locals, tells me. “And there are people from all over. It’s like the United Nations here.” The beauty of the community, in fact, is how they’ve been able to blend together and form a family, respecting the traditions of each other while embracing their own. At the helm, guiding the freshly minted Arizonians in the establishment of their new kehillah, stands Harav Yechiel Steinmetz, shlit”a, the famed baal hamachshir from Monsey. April 13, 2022

“Rabbi Steinmetz was on top of all the decision-making: how we would run the schools, the community takanos, etc.,” Roizy shares. Under his leadership, the community is thriving. ONE BIG FAMILY

Mrs. Baily Furth, one of the people who have been living in the Casa Grande chassidish community since nearly its inception, enthusiastically tells me what caused her to move to Arizona. “My family was asked to join a Rosh Hashanah minyan about a year and half a ago, so we came. We came for the free vaca-

tion, and in the end decided to stay! I love everything about this place. The weather, the private houses, the people… We’re one big family and there’s no peer pressure. It’s such a lovely environment! I’ve always felt New York had something missing, and now I have it; everyone is accepted here. You can just live to live!” Mrs. Rubin echoes this sentiment when she tells me that what she loves most is the achdus of the community. “Because the community is so small, we spend a lot of time together and are really there for each other. When there is a kimpeturin — and we’ve had four babies born here already, kein ayin hara — we really help each other out. Everyone wants to help. It’s really nice.” When I inquire as to how people bring in income, Mrs. Rubin tells me that everyone has found ways to both make money and keep busy. “People have jobs at the cheder and the school, running the grocery or catering for Shabbos… Everyone has something to do.” There are even people who sell vitamins and kosher wine, I’m informed. Of course, daily living keeps one occupied just as well. “When you live here, you’re busy. You’re not klutzing on vacation,” Mrs. Rubin explains. “You’re busy doing laundry and running your house. It’s regular life.” LOCAL AMENITIES

When I express interest about the grocery store, Roizy shares that one family runs a small business, making it easier for everyone to maintain their kashrus standards out in the midbar. “We have food with heimishe hechsherim avail224

able. In the beginning we didn’t have everything, so sometimes we’d have to wait a week or two for certain items to come in, like grape juice or ketchup, so we tried to stock up, but in the last several months, there hasn’t been anything missing.” To further aid homemakers, Rabbi Steinmetz combed through products commonly sold in the local Walmart, sharing with the community which ones he found trustworthy. The lack of kosher restaurants can be a hurdle for some newcomers, Mrs. Rubin says. “People who are used to restaurants take time to adjust, but if you live a few months like this, you get used to it.” For those really hankering for a a meal that’s not home-

cooked, an hour’s drive will bring them into Phoenix where kosher restaurants can be found. There are also Casa Grande residents who are currently working toward opening both a dairy and a meat restaurant. Surprisingly, it’s clothing shopping that’s more complicated for the community. “We don’t have Main Street,” Mrs. Rubin tells me, referring to her Monsey roots. “You have to shop in malls or go into New York. I made a trip to New York recently, coming in for a few days just to shop for my children’s wardrobe.” Roizy tells me that a lot of the heimish stores ship, but it does cost a pretty penny, so whenever they head to the tristate area for a chasunah or yom tov, they try to do their shopping then. DESERT ENCAMPMENT

“What was the initial reaction from the local community?” I asked those I interviewed. Without fail, everyone responded that the non-Jewish community has been respectful and kind. “They’re really nice people,” Mrs. Rubin tells me. “B’emes, it’s beautiful how they’re handling our community. They love to know about us and ask us questions, and we go out of our way to not make them feel uncomfortable.” The community is upper-middle class, and pleasant, but quite spread out. Most chassidim have several frum neighbors near them, but to walk from one end of the community to another would take an hour. “I have thirteen neighbors within a twentyminute walk,” Mrs. Goralnik says. “We’re very spread out. Mr. Rubin is planning a development of 226

more than 300 houses now, but until that’s ready, there are different areas where some live closer and others live farther. “Any available real estate here is usually grabbed up really quickly,” she adds. “Wherever you find, you buy. Properties are often sold within 24 hours of listing. There are people who want to come live here but can’t find a house because so many investors have bought properties here. Now there are takanos for investors; the people who want to live here get first preference.” With the warm climate and the Yiddishe infrastructure, it’s no wonder investors are cashing in on the opportunity. “People come here instead of going to the country,” Mrs. Furth, whose husband manages the rentals, says. When I express surprise over people choosing to spend summer vacation in temperatures well over the hundred-degree mark, I am told that though it is hot, it isn’t humid, and that under shade the weather can feel quite nice. “It was 111 degrees during the Nine Days,” Roizy concurs. “It wasn’t humid, though. I was so much more comfortable in the Arizona heat than in Boro Park, because it’s a different kind of heat. It’s stiflingly hot, but you don’t sweat.” One of the perks of the place is that kids constantly have a giant sandbox right outside their door, and many families have their own pools where they can cool off during the hottest hours. “I miss Monsey,” Mrs. Rubin says, “but here I have a huge house, and it would be an adjustment to move back into a smaller house. Missing Monsey and loving it here is not a contradiction.” Roizy says that she loves that she is able to spend a lot of time with her kids, and that her mortgage for a large house is less than the rent she paid back in New York. Mrs. Furth is the most enthusiastic of the bunch. “What do you miss from New York?” I ask her. “Nothing! Absolutely nothing. I mean, family, yeah. But I go back five times a year, so I’m not missing anything.” “Do you see yourself staying here until Moshiach comes?” “I wish we can! I hope the community will grow and become more established. It has a lot of potential.” GROWING GRANDE

That potential is rapidly being seen. The land for 300 houses has already been purchased and the plans have been approved. Building should begin shortly, resulting in both rentals and homes for sale. All that remains is for the land to welcome its new inhabitants. Will you be among them? *Name changed for privacy 228

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MIDBAR

Treasure Near Tampa Wimauma, Florida

“It’s a world of a difference here. You wake up in the morning, and the sun is shining on you. And the weather has such an impact on your mood! There are lakes everywhere, and ducks and grass. It’s gorgeous.” I’m speaking with Gitty*, one of the most recent New York transplants to Wimauama, a small town about 30 minutes from Tampa. She and her husband are fresh faces here in the chassidish community that was founded a year ago by Rabbi Yisroel and Rebbitzin Malka Taussig. Though fewer than 20 frum families have made Wimauma their year-round place of residence, the potential for growth is huge. “The homes here are all brand-new construction, singlefamily homes that start at $365,000,” Bracha Fischman, a real estate agent who owns a home in the community, tells me. “The taxes are low, the community is in a gated development, and it’s safe and upper class.” There’s even a beautiful park and walking trails, as well as 230

a tennis court. “And the weather is gorgeous!” Bracha says. “It’s similar to Orlando, being about ten degrees cooler than Miami. It can hover around the 50s for a few weeks, but is usually in the 70s to 80s.” In the summer, I am told, the temperature doesn’t rise above 100, and it’s not very humid. Esty*, one the “old-timers” who’s been here for a year, concurs. “Tampa is not humid because it’s not near the ocean; it’s in central Florida. When I go back to New York, the doors at the airport open and I’m hit by the humidity as my ‘welcome back’…”

THE COMMUNITY

“What’s the community like?” I ask Gitty*. “Everyone is heimish, but the families are very different from each other. There are all types. One thing that I can tell you is that the ladies are a bunch of fun. We just had everyone getting together for a Purim party. It was really nice!” “Nice” seems to be the perfect adjective for the community. “The day I moved to town I got so many calls from community members welcoming me and offering meals,” Gitty says. “That really is the reason behind the success of the community. Everyone is here to help everyone else.” “We’re all from different backgrounds,” Esty tells me. “We each know our differences and keep the traditions of our respective chassiduses, but we really respect each other. There’s so much beauty in every Yid because we’re all

children of Hashem. Any time somebody moves in, they get a warm shalom aleichem.” Most families live only a few minutes from other frum neighbors, and the women try to get together every week for shalosh seudos. “On Shabbos we try to meet at someone’s house even though there’s no eruv yet. So far, we live next to each other, so the babies can literally crawl over. Sometimes we go out together during the week as well,” Gitty says. “How’s the interaction with the non-Jewish community?” I ask. “I don’t really have much interaction with the community,” Gitty tells me. “I barely even see my next-door neighbors. It’s a very quiet area. In general, the people here are nice and very friendly. Interestingly, one woman found out that their neighbor is Jewish, though not frum, so she sent over challos.” Esty tells me that the frum community members try very hard to make a kiddush Hashem. “My neighbors are very accepting and friendly. It’s all about basic respect. If you respect them as people, they’re welcoming. When I’m cooking for yom tov, I go out of my way to send them some food, and my neighbors often send me something in return.” Most of the non-frum residents are young and family-minded, and are therefore accepting of little children running around. Those children, of course, are a huge factor when it comes to fledgling communities, for they, too, have needs. “Most of the families living here have children around the same ages; my oldest is a boy, then I have two little girls,” Esty says. “At the moment we have a mini cheder for the boys and a preschool.” The preschool is amazing, Esty tells me, and her girls have no desire to return to New York schooling. The cheder is also doing well, with a building currently being renovated to house the learning lads. THE LAID-BACK LIFE

When I ask about the quality of life, Esty gives me a passionate response. “We were one of the first families to move here, and we came because we could only afford ‘out-of-state’ housing. There were so many technical things that were difficult back in New York, such as the sky-high taxes and that the housing being beyond not affordable! Then there was the political April 13, 2022

difference. New York is a very liberal state and doesn’t give you many personal rights. When we heard that we’d have more government funding here to help us send our children to private school, that was a huge push. Florida also takes off less income taxes from your paycheck, and when you put in hard work, you really want to come home with your money.” The improved financial situation had a massive impact on their family’s way of life. “There was a feeling we’d always had that a lot of aspects about our New York lifestyle weren’t enabling us to live life fully,” Esty tells me. “Once we moved here, we realized that we’d been living in a misconception, absorbing what our busy city

surroundings taught us. It became clear how much time we can spend together as a family without all the hustle and bustle of a super-busy place. The longer we’re here, the more we see how substandard it was to live from one minute to the next without having time to even think about our purpose in this world and how to best use our time to serve Hashem.” Esty shares that her family now has the time to enjoy daily breakfasts together before heading out to begin their day in a relaxed fashion, instead of rushing to catch multiple buses and working many hours to pay sky-high bills. “We enjoy the lifestyle. The kids can even play outside in the backyard all year round because the weather is almost always pleasant. That means that even if someone’s house is small, the living space is extended to the outdoors. It’s a very relaxing way to live.” MAKING ENDS MEET

Even when one lives “out of town,” they still must put food on the table and pay their bills on time. How do the locals make ends meet? “Tampa’s a growing city and there are many opportunities here,” Bracha Fischman tells me. Aside from employment possibilities that can be found among the general populace, there is room for building businesses from the ground up. One community member, for instance, opened a fencing company. “There’s a lot of business here for him, baruch Hashem,” Esty says. “There are many decent opportunities out here for private companies.” Esty works remotely, a benefit that came in the wake of COVID-19. “It’s not an issue at all nowadays. So many companies are fine with remote workers,” she says. 232

The community playground

The Wimauma cheder

What are the challenges of living out of town and being chassidish? “So far the greatest challenge is kosher food, but everyone tells me it just takes getting used to,” Gitty says. “You don’t have the luxury of walking to a grocery store and having everything you want. There is a Walmart where you can find things with the basic OU, but for meat I have to order from a grocery that delivers only once a week. There also isn’t any of the fancy nosh and ingredients with hechsherim we use that we had back in New York. Here you have to check every single item before you put it into the cart. That’s a huge difference, the constant checking.” Esty agrees that the hardest part is procuring groceries, even though there is Kosher Caddy — a tiny kosher grocery carrying chalav Yisroel and Lubavitch-shechitah products — a ten-minute drive away. “There are a lot of kosher things you can buy locally, but I’m makpid on heimishe hechsherim so it makes things more difficult. But I would never leave because of this. If this is the challenge, so be it.” Gitty tells me that when families head back to the tri-state area, they often bring back boxes of all the little extras that make life a bit easier and more enjoyable. The good news is that traveling between New York and Florida is both quick and cheap. “It’s only a two-hour flight, so when we need something very specific, we head into New York,” Esty shares. “We go about four or five times a year. Tickets back and forth can be even cheaper than taking a local taxi!” The ease of travel between the two states can make the move easier for those afraid to spread their wings beyond the New York nest and fly. With the old home only a hop, skip and jump away from the new, Wimauma is a great opportunity for those seeking to find an affordable, beautiful place to live. “We’ve had three more families move out here in the last four weeks,” Esty tells me. And I’m sure many more will soon follow. *Names changed for privacy

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MIDBAR

The

Mevakshim of Milwaukee Milwaukee, Wisconsin

“People have said that Milwaukee is the best-kept secret in America. When Rav Matisyahu Salomon came to visit the community, he said it is unique. It’s a real kehillah, an extended family. People are there for each other.” I’m speaking with Rebbetzin Feige Twerski of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who lives a plane ride away from the tri-state area and a world away from the hustle and bustle of New York life. And yet, in the state known more for its dairy than anything else, there thrives a pocket of chassidim who live a life of wholehearted devotion to serving the One Above. Rebbetzin Twerski tells me that her father-in-law, Harav Yakov Yisroel Twerski, zt”l, founded the community almost 100 years ago, back in 1927. “There were some Hornisteiple chassidim here at that time. They were older people who remembered der alter heim. Their connection to Yiddishkeit was nostalgic, based on what they remembered from their parents and grandparents. They 236

wouldn’t work on Shabbos, but they would wake their children to go work on Shabbos, and the next generation was pretty much lost,” Rebbetzin Twerski explains. When she married the Rav’s son, Harav Michel Twerski, shlit”a, she and her husband joined his parents in Milwaukee and attempted to revitalize the community. “When we came to Milwaukee in 1961 there was basically no frum community left, only a handful of members. We started rebuilding,” Rebbetzin Twerski says. “We conducted classes and learned one on one. We started being mekarev the people, and there was a resurgence of Yiddishkeit in Milwaukee. It took time, but people started adopting a Torah lifestyle, making commitments to Shabbos and sending to Jewish schools.

Over time, our community grew out of this baal teshuvah movement.” A COMMUNITY OF SEEKERS

These days, nearly 200 frum families call Beth Jehudah, the shul run by four generations of Twerskis, their home base. “My husband, zuhl zayn gezunt, is the head rabbi there; he’s the sage in the community. My son, Rabbi Ben Tzion, is the functioning rabbi. His son, Rabbi Chaim, is the assistant rabbi, and he’s now making bar mitzvah…”. Just as the Twerski family has been blessed to see generations blossom, so too have the families they’d originally invested in. “People used to drive to shul when we first started out. We embraced them, and they came for Shabbos meals and experienced the various aspects of Yiddishkeit, and now they embrace

others! There used to be tables and tables of people coming for the Shabbos experience, and today they’re part of the black hat community — but everyone is embraced even if they come without a black hat! It’s a warm, supportive environment.” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me that the baalei teshuvah of the community are spectacular and have taught everyone so much by injecting tremendous enthusiasm for Yiddishkeit into the air. One story she tells me expresses this well. “Some 40 years ago, my daughter was obsessing about all the work awaiting her before Pesach. She wasn’t thinking of the upcoming work in a terribly fond manner. Then she met up with a new baalas teshuvah who was making her first Pesach… The woman told her that she feels so privileged and that she can’t wait to clean the house to perfection and make all the delicacies for yom tov. My daughter looked at her like she had fallen off the moon. Here was a woman who was getting excited over the hard work! It was a total game-changer for her.” So many of these baalei teshuvos have gone on to establish beautiful, Torah’dig families, with some of their children even becoming mechanchos, rabbanim and roshei kollel. Today, a large percentage of the community is frum-from-birth, but the freshness and excitement of Torah and mitzvos remains a defining aspect of Milwaukee. “This is a phenomenal growth-oriented community,” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. Miriam*, a shul member, agrees, “What defines Milwaukee and what the Twerskis have succeeded in creating is an atmosphere in which all are seeking to grow, and that is emphasized more than a person’s specific derech/levush/minhagim.” “The chassidim in the community are a mix,” she continues. “Many are baalei teshuvah, some consider themselves chassidim of Rabbi Twerski (Hornosteipel-Milwaukee, if you will), and some identify with other chassidish groups. Some are chassidish from birth. But I want to stress that the community is a big mix — bnei Torah/yeshivish, Chofetz Chaim, chassidish, heimish, Chabad, baalei teshuvos, FFBs, geirim…” One thing everyone in the Beth Jehudah neighborhood has in common despite the variations in dress and personal histories is that they all consider the Twerskis their leaders in life, and for good reason. The Twerskis are defined by their deep love for humankind, and they spend many hours April 13, 2022

giving hadracha to community members facing major life decisions or who are in pain over shalom bayis issues, tzaar gidul banim, or other problems that crop up. This deep investment is a continuation of Harav Yakov Yisroel’s legacy, zt”l. “Everybody has something to offer; nobody should be looked down upon,” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. “My father-in-law started everybody on that derech. He was so beloved by people from all communities, even non-Jews! He used to go to a farm to get cholov Yisroel milk early every morning. That non-Jewish farmer came to his levayah and cried and cried; he was inconsolable. He said every day he would pour out all of his troubles to the rabbi… My father-in-law never asked where people ‘belonged’; he just knew a human was in distress and did what he could.” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me that a rabbi once wanted to know how Harav Yakov Yisrael related to people in such a way that made them so deeply care for him. “I love Jews,” was his response. “Ah, now I know the technique,” the rabbi said. “‘My father-in-law answered, ‘You don’t understand. It’s not a ‘technique.’ I really do love every human being, especially Jews…’ This is the secret of Milwaukee. This is what my husband is about, what my family is about. We love people, and we see the good in them. It’s not ‘us’ and ‘them.’” WHAT MILWAUKEE’S GOT TO OFFER

This beautiful oasis of love and light is located in a middle-class community in the middle of America, causing housing in Milwaukee to be far less expensive than in the major Jewish hubs of the East Coast. “Even kollel people can live decently,” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. “An expensive home 238

is less than 200K. That will include a yard, a good few bedrooms...” Miriam tells me that pretty much everyone owns their house because they’re so affordable. “The area is pretty much middle class, but it borders some shady neighborhoods, so there have been some safety concerns in the past. The last couple of years, however, it’s been pretty quiet.” In general, the locals feel secure, and because the community has been around for so long, non-Jewish residents are accustomed to the frum community in their midst. “There are richer areas in Milwaukee,” Rebitzin Twerski tells me. “But the most committed area is ours. Someone recently decided against moving to Florida because here you invest in the way of life, not in real estate. People live very comfortably, but it’s not that the homes are worth millions of dollars.”

That’s the simple beauty of this community. It’s one in which ruchniyus — not luxuries — are chased after. “The women go to shiurim instead of going shopping,” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. “There’s no emphasis on nice drapes and nicer furniture; they’re eager for their husbands to go to kollel and learn. It’s not a materialistic community.” Miriam says the same thing. “The level of materialism is so much lower here. There is so little pressure to live up to other people’s standards when it comes to clothing, houses, cars, simchos, vacations, etc. Life is slower-paced. People might see it as a downside that there are no kosher restaurants (not even a pizza store!), frum clothing stores, few community events, few simcha obligations, etc., but the benefit is that there is nowhere to run to. Younger kids all go to the same school so there’s no need for multiple carpools and school schedules to juggle.” She also tells me that the cost of living is low so that many women can afford to not work or only work part time, and men can have jobs that allow them to be home for longer hours than they’d have if they lived “in town.” “We’re able to focus on serving Hashem and raising our kids without the distractions of big-city life.” JEWISH NECESSITIES

“We are fortunate to be able to get everything we need here in Milwaukee,” Miriam tells me. Whether its cholov Yisroel, pas Yisroel, or chassidish shechitah, the local grocery store serves the community’s needs well. “Chassidish men’s clothing is really the only thing that requires a trip to New York,” Miriam says. The other thing Milwaukee lacks are restaurants, Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. “But we do have a caterer available upon demand and a luncheonette service. If you want a restaurant you can go to Chicago.” When it comes to feeding the souls and brains of Jewish children, there is an elementary school under the hadracha of the Twerskis, as well as a local girls high school and the Chofetz Chaim yeshiva — though many bachurim head out of town to learn. School Choice vouchers are available to cover children’s schooling, and the qualifications for receiving these vouchers are less stringent than the qualifications for food stamps or Medicaid. “Almost everyone qualifies,” Miriam tells me. THE RICHEST COMMUNITY

With the warmth of this incredible community, low costs of living, and a strong Jewish infrastructure, the Milwaukee secret is starting to leak to the general public. “Young people are coming into the community, and I have to ask them what their names are these days,” Rebbetzin Twerski tells me. These newcomers are arriving from all over, she says. Some from Eretz Yisroel, some from Boro Park… There’s only one “type” that hasn’t yet come, Rebbetzin Twerski good-naturedly tells me. “We haven’t had anyone rich come! People don’t come here for the gashmius, so we’re still waiting for someone rich to come and support the community…” To me, it seems that there are riches aplenty to be found in Milwaukee, but those riches can be discerned and appreciated by only a special sort of soul. Are you one of them? 240

THE NILE IS MORE THAN 4,100 MILES LONG AND FLOWS THROUGH ELEVEN COUNTRIES. IT IS GENERALLY BETWEEN 23 AND 36 FEET DEEP AND IS CONSIDERED THE WORLD’S LONGEST RIVER.

MOTHER OF MANY CANALS It came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh was dreaming, and behold, he was standing by the Nile (‫) ַהיְ ֽאֹר‬. — Bereishis 41:1 Rashi:

‫היְ אֹר‬-‫ל‬ ַ ‫ ַע‬: Literally, by the canal. No other rivers are called ‫אֹורים‬ ִ ְ‫ י‬except the Nile, because the entire land is covered with many man-made canals (‫אֹורים‬ ִ ְ‫)י‬, and the Nile rises in their midst and waters them, for it does not usually rain in Egypt as it does in other countries. Egypt has a long history of canals. Because the region is both very arid and very hot, the ancients had to devise a way for water to be transported from the Nile toward their fields. They did this by digging canals, which filled with water when the Nile swelled each year. These canals also alleviated the problem of river overflow that could otherwise detrimentally affect the villages near the water’s edge. Since the building of the Aswan dam in the 1970s, the Nile no longer overflows. A most noteworthy canal was the ancient Canal of the Pharaohs, which preceded the modern-day Suez Canal by many centuries and linked the Nile to the Red Sea.

THE “POWER” OF THE NILE So said Hashem, “With this you will know that I am Hashem.” Behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water that is in the Nile, and it will turn to blood. — Shemos 7:17 Rashi: And it will turn to blood: Since there is no rainfall in Egypt, and the Nile ascends and waters the land, so the Egyptians worship the Nile. He therefore smote their deity and afterward He smote them.

Ancient Egyptians attributed the power of life and death to the Nile, which they worshiped as a god. For this reason, Hashem smote the river, teaching them that the Nile was but a creation. To this day, the mighty Nile river has lost its power. Though it no longer flows with blood, it is heavily polluted, with 4.5 million tons of untreated industrial waste and sewage merging with its waters every year. About 5% of Egyptian deaths are caused by contaminated drinking water. In a recent study, 75% of sampled fish from the Nile had microplastic particles in their bodies, the highest percent of any fish sampled from around the world. And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became putrid; the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile, and there was blood throughout the entire land of Egypt. — Shemos 7:21

Cairo nilometer

Nilometer on Elephantine Island

Conical structure covers the nilometer on southern tip of Rhoda Island in the Nile River at Cairo. The structure is modern but the nilometer dates from 715 BCE.

ANCIENT METEOROLOGY The priests of ancient Egypt had secret “nilometers” with which they would measure the levels of the Nile, helping them to “divine” the forecast. Though these were but ancient meteorology methods, accurate predictions raised the esteem of the priests in the eyes of the masses, who believed the priests learned the information through occult arts.

NILE, NILE, CROCODILE Though it is commonly taught that frogs overran Mitzrayim during Makkas Tzefardeia, meforshim teach us that amphibious reptiles may also have attacked the land. The commentators differed in their understanding of the word “tzefarde’im.” Many said it referred to a sort of fish found in Egypt, called “al-timsa” in Arabic, which comes out of the river and seizes human beings. Others say they are the creatures found in most of the rivers and that they make a sound. This explanation, which is well known, seems correct in my view. — Ibn Ezra, Shemos 7:27

It should come as no surprise that one of the most feared reptiles still in the world today originates from the Nile river: the Nile crocodile. This type of destructive tzefardeia did not exist in the Nile previously. After it was then created, it remains in the Egyptian river forever. It grows in the Nile to a great size, and damages and swallows creatures big and small. It is the tamsah, which is found in the Nile until today as a memorial to that plague. And some of the commentaries say that the tzefardeia referred to here is the small croaking creature, and so it appears from the words of … the midrashos. — Sefer HaTodaah

The Nile crocodile is an especially aggressive crocodile with an abnormally powerful bite. It can lie in wait for hours until it chooses to ambush its prey, and then forcibly holds it underwater to drown. Hundreds of humans die each year from the Nile crocodile. The bite of this beast is commonly associated with a specific type of bacteria, frequently causing traumatic infections in those who survive an encounter. Moshe’s words in his prayer stayed true for that time and for all generations. In accordance with his words, “They shall remain only in the Nile,” to this very day the creeping water creature known as the al-timsa remains there. There it lives, and it is said that sometimes it comes out of the Nile where it lives, rising onto the river’s edge and swallowing whatever it finds, even two or three humans at a time. Neither spear nor arrow can overcome its body, unless aimed for its belly. Physicians say it is venomous and that touching its body, even after its death, is harmful to man. It is of the tzefardeia type, and from the power of Moshe’s words, this creature remains there... — Rabbeinu Bachya, Shemos 10:19

One was waiting for a YACHATZ, REB AVRAHAM WAS child, the other to find his zivug. Both SURPRISED WHEN THE IMREI were equally desperate. Neither was willing to let go. CHAIM SHOOK HIS HEAD.

And yom tov, a new flicker of hope in his heart. Would their yeshuah finally come? A letter dated some that’s exactly what they did. What most onlookers don’t know, however, is weeks later from a person in the Rebbe’s inner that there was one more chassid who’d attempted circle encouraged Reb Avraham with more reasto steal the afikomen that year.

It had been my intention for many years to write this story for posterity, but I never managed to get around to it. However, when my niece Rivka Glick, a mother of young children and a descendant of the Baal Shem Tov like myself, was fighting her final illness, I promised her I would record and disseminate this story as a zechus for her. I wrote it as she was being prepared for surgery, and it was there waiting for her when she awoke. Unfortunately, she passed away not long afterward, but I am grateful I was able to give her a few moments of profound pleasure during her final days. May it be the will of the Ribono Shel Olam that this story be a zechus for her neshamah tehorah in Gan Eden.

the last day of Pesach, as the sun begins to set, the members of my family prepare a special seudah called the Baal Shem Tov’s Seudah. We gather a minyan and tell the story of the attempt of the Baal Shem Tov, of whom I am a ninth-generation descendant, to emigrate to Eretz Yisroel. This is a scrupulously observed tradition in my family, as in many other families of the Baal Shem Tov’s descendants. My mother’s mother, Tzivia Serebrier, was born in Medzhybizh, the town in Ukraine in which the Baal Shem Tov lived and taught. Many of his descendants lived in Medzhybizh and had intermarried with each other, and consequently, my grandmother was descended from him through three lines — from Reb Moshe Chaim Ephraim and Reb Baruch, the two sons of the Baal Shem Tov’s daughter Udel, and from Reb Herschel, the Baal Shem Tov’s son. In my family, our descent from the Baal Shem Tov has always been our precious heritage, and the yearly telling of the story is sacrosanct. I’ve heard the story many times from my grandfather, who heard it from his father-inlaw over one hundred years ago, who heard it from his grandfather, who heard it from Reb Baruch of Medzhybizh, the Baal Shem Tov’s grandson. My brothers and I tell the story as we heard it from our grandfather, who repeated it as he had heard it, free of additions and embellishments, and I am convinced that this carefully preserved form is the story the Baal Shem Tov himself told at his own table every year. The story took place when the Baal Shem Tov was already famous throughout Eastern Europe. Nonetheless, he decided to leave

Ukraine and travel to Eretz Yisroel. During his journey, he was saved from mortal danger on several occasions and was ultimately forced to turn back. When the events came to an end on the last day of Pesach, the Baal Shem Tov made a seudas hodaah, and he asked that all of his descendants for ten generations make such a seudah every year and tell the story of his miraculous deliverance. The following is the story, which has been told and retold in my family in this way for over 265 years. * * * * *

The Baal Shem Tov always had a great desire to go to Eretz Yisroel and meet with Rav Chaim ibn Attar, the author of Ohr Hachaim. It is said that one of them had the neshamah of Dovid Hamelech and the other had the nefesh of Dovid Hamelech, and that if these two tzaddikim, the holiest of their generation, could meet, they would bring Moshiach immediately. Years later, during a shalosh seudos, the Baal Shem Tov told his talmidim, “Kavah ner maaravi — The western light has been extinguished.” In other words, the Ohr Hachaim had passed away. How did he know this? Because a Kabbalastic secret regarding netillas yadayim that is revealed to only one person in each generation had just been revealed to him as he was washing for shalosh seudos. Clearly, the Ohr Hachaim was no longer in this world. And indeed, it was so. Reports reached Medzhybizh that on that very Shabbos, the Ohr Hachaim had passed away in Yerushalayim. In the year of our story,1 the Baal Shem Tov waited until the worst of the winter was over and then embarked on the arduous journey from Ukraine to Eretz Yisroel to meet up with the Ohr Hachaim. The Baal Shem Tov was accompanied by his gabbai Reb Hershel,

Now I will be an eved oved es rabbo shelo al menas l’kabel sechar, a servant serving his master with no expectation of being rewarded.” Thereupon, the Baal Shem Tov heard another declaration from Heaven: “Because the Baal Shem Tov has responded in such a splendid manner, he has regained his share in Olam Haba.” After the meal was finished, the Seder continued with the saying of the Haggadah. When the Baal Shem Tov reached the words “l’oseh niflaos gedolos levado, to the One who performs great wonders by Himself,” he 276

THE QUEEN CLAPPED HER HANDS WITH DELIGHT. “EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. I’LL HAVE THIS DONE IMMEDIATELY.” him again, and he was still wide awake. “What is the matter, my son?” “Nothing,” he said. “It’s not nothing,” she said. “I can see you have something very serious on your mind. Please tell me what it is.” The crown prince sighed. “I think I’ve done a bad thing tonight,” he said. He went on to tell her everything that had happened, concluding with the transfer of the royal signet ring into the hands of the imam. The queen wrung her hands. “This is very serious,” she said. “We have a tradition in our family that whoever persecutes the Jews will eventually suffer a disastrous downfall. You go to sleep, my son. I’ll take care of it.” The queen called an emergency midnight meeting of her closest advisers and told them what had occurred. She asked for suggestions on how to deal with the crisis, but no one put forward any good ones. Finally, one of the advisers said, “The minister in this affair is one of our most brilliant people. Why don’t we ask him what to do?” “Good idea,” said the queen, and she immediately sent off a squadron of royal guards to bring the minister to the palace. The second knock on the minister’s door that night was louder and harsher than the first. The minister himself opened the door and was aghast to see royal guards on his doorstep. “By the orders of Her Majesty,” said the captain of the guards, “you are to come with us immediately to the palace.” The minister feared the worst. Unsure if he would ever come home or even survive until morning, he bid his family a tear-filled farewell and went off with the royal guards. As soon as he was led into the presence of the queen, the minister flung himself to the ground in a position of abject supplication. “I don’t know what I have done, Your Majesty,” he pleaded, “but I assure you it was not intentional. I beg your royal pardon.” “Stand up, sir,” said the queen. “I had you brought here because I need your advice.” She proceeded to tell him what had happened after the crown prince and the imam left his house. “What do we do about this?”

They wasted no time in hurrying back to the safety of the shore and the beached ship. When they got back to the ship, the captain informed them that the voyage to Eretz Yisroel would have to be aborted. The ship was simply not seaworthy enough to head out into the open seas. They would have to return to Istanbul. Leaking and creaking, the battered ship sailed back into the Istanbul harbor toward evening on the last day of Pesach.

thrown overboard together with her husband during the storm. He discovered that both of them had returned to Istanbul just hours earlier and were now warming themselves in a small hut in the harbor area. The Baal Shem Tov found them near a glowing oven in the care of a Jewish family. There was a pot of kneidlach on the oven.3 The Baal Shem Tov asked them how they had been saved from drowning. They told him they had grabbed onto floating planks that had been jettisoned from the ship. Af-

LEAKING AND CREAKING, THE BATTERED SHIP SAILED BACK INTO THE ISTANBUL HARBOR TOWARD EVENING ON THE LAST DAY OF PESACH. ter a long while, a Turk in a small boat had come by and said, “Tandelamai.”4 He took them into his boat and brought them back to Istanbul. The Baal Shem Tov told them they would be returning to Medzhybizh and not continuing their journey to Eretz Yisroel. All the obstacles and perils they had encountered were manifestations of the Divine will, he explained. Apparently, the Ribono Shel Olam did not want him to meet up with the Ohr Hachaim; the time for the geulah had not yet come. The Baal Shem Tov then made a seudas hodaah in acknowledgment of his and his family’s miraculous deliverance to safety. He continued to make the seudas hodaah every year thereafter after Mincha on the last day of Pesach, the day and the time that the deliverance had been completed. He also left a tzavaah that all his descendants should make this same seudas hodaah for ten generations. It is said that by that time, Moshiach will already be here; may he come speedily in our days. Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Reinman is the author of Shufra Dishtara and, under the name Avner God, The Strasbourg Saga. He recently published A Guide to the Guide: A Chapter-by-Chapter Summary of the Guide for the Perplexed, which is available on Amazon and in select bookstores. 1 The Baal Shem Tov’s daughter Udel was born in 1720, and her first child, Moshe Chaim Ephraim, was born in 1748. Since there is a husband but no child in the story, the story must have taken place before 1748. The date is narrowed down further, because the Ohr Hachaim passed away in 1743 in Yerushalayim, after leaving his native Morocco ten years earlier. Therefore, the story must have taken place in the late 1730s or early 1740s. 2 According to historical sources, the sultan of the Ottoman Empire at this time was Mahmut I. He was childless and withdrew from active involvement in governmental affairs, spending most of his time writing poetry. The government was run by his viziers and by his powerful mother, Saliha Sabkati. Mahmut was succeeded in 1753 by his brother Osman III. It is quite possible that the crown prince in this story is Osman, who was already designated as the heir apparent to his childless and disinterested older brother. 3 Some say that this is why kneidlach are customarily eaten at the Baal Shem Tov’s Seudah. 4 The meaning of this phrase is unclear. Some connect it with the French tendez le main, which means “give me your hand,” but why a Turk would speak French to them is unexplained.

Living 120 CBD (short for cannabidiol) has recently undergone a rebirth. CBD is one of the most important of the 120 natural chemicals unique to the Cannabis plant.

Use Code: Bpview10 for 10% off your entire order.

Indeed, research on CBD is only just now starting to unveil the potential medical benefits as a genuine natural medicine. Derived from an ancient remedy, CBD is currently being integrated into the modern pharmacy as both an effective and safe anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and anti-seizure medicine. Additionally, research has shown that side effects of CBD are usually only mild, if any. CBD is proving itself to be safer than aspirin and, in certain doses, is a more effective anti-inflammatory than steroids. CBD, derived from cannabis, has been part of the Jewish pharmacopoeia for centuries. For example, the Rambam prescribed cannabis oil for many upper respiratory ailments amongst others, as he was well versed in Torah Law which permitted cannabis growth in Israel’s farms. Modern science is now catching up with the Rambam and Kosher CBD is answering the call for safe, non-sedating, kosher formulations of CBD that include the full spectrum of 120+ cannabinoids. Ask an open-minded doctor if CBD is right for you. Rabbi Dr Yosef Glassman, MD

THIS WEEK SEDER PREP AND THE LAST-MINUTE LIST

STRESS-FREE SEDER PREP Seder night! While every ad projects a set table gleaming with silver and smiling, happy children, we Yiddishe mamas project a different sort of gleam. We’re up from dawn, doing last-minute cooking, shopping and cleaning, so we’re just happy to be sitting and trying to keep little Shmuly from spilling his grape juice onto his new, adorable mini kittel. There isn’t anything new in the next few lines of tips. No earth-shattering research done by a famous scientist, which in this case is me. Nothing that you haven’t heard before. But if you read it and follow through — then it will be earth-shattering.)

A calm erev yom tov day starts with the night before. Go to bed early. Yeah, right. You’re giggling right now. Listen, I’m just telling you what works. When I’ll start listening to my own advice, I’ll also be much better off. An early night will give you an early morning. Not super early. I find even an hour or so before the rest of the house awakens will give you a great head start. Ask Hashem for extra siyata d’Shmaya that the washing machine should not break today (happened to my classmate) and the freezer should not stop humming (happened to my neighbor). The oven should

not stop giving out heavenly aromas (happened to my sister-in-law). The toilet should not get clogged because of the 60 baby wipes your little imp stuffed down the bowl. (Okay, that happened to me.) Eat a solid breakfast (quit laughing). Eat chocolate. (Okay, that I made up, but I promise it works better than any other advice.) The night before, I prepare food in large Ziploc bags. Each member of the family gets his or her own bag with sandwiches, fruit, a water bottle, a box drink and a few snacks to tide them over until I serve them a proper meal. I don’t remember when I started doing this, but it’s oh, so awesome. If someone offers you help, however minimal, grab the opportunity before they change their mind. Open the packages of tights and socks, and remove all the tags from new clothing. Iron everything by bedikas chometz night, and make sure all the hems and mending is done. Lay out the clothing for the kids so they don’t ask you, “Ma, where are my socks, headband, tights, robe top, shell, shoes, skirt, sweater, kappel...” when you’re downstairs frying the lokshen. The little ones should definitely have a nap. While the big one (you) won’t join

Here’s a Do-Not-Forget List Wash all doorknobs well. Clean all telephones and cell phones. These literally get in the food. Check the tops of your china closet and other tall furniture, especially if they’re used as hiding places for goodies you don’t want your kids to access. Wash straps on baby gear like high chairs (most can be thrown into the washing machine). Wash down the stroller, and throw washable parts into the machine. Vacuum the hamper. Look through your kids’ saved crafts. Teachers will sometimes use barley or similar items for authentic effects. Turn gloves inside out to get rid of the crumbs. Don’t forget your purses, handbags and carriage bags. Vacuum briefcases as soon as the kids come home on the last day of school before Pesach. Vacuum suitcases, especially if you’ll be using them over Pesach. Shake out your keyboard. All that mid-work snacking accumulates. Wipe down the mouse. Wipe down the soles of shoes still in use after the closet was made Pesach’dig. Vacuum coat pockets still in use until the last minute Wash, or hire someone to wash, your indoor and outdoor garbage cans. Check through the freezer and fridge one last time if you’re selling one with non-Pesach food in it. Discard the vacuum cleaner bag. With central vacuum systems, don’t forget the bag in the basement.

them for the nap, over the next two hours you can actually sneak a quick peek at The Boro Park View while trying out one of their recipes to perfection. I give the kids a brand-new game at twelvish when the kvetching starts, and that keeps them occupied for the next ten minutes or so. If you have teens swarming around your kitchen wanting to help (I repeat: wanting), send the little ones to the park with them. Don’t stress! I’m telling you, it doesn’t pay. I mentioned this already once before, and you might’ve heard it from your friend, neighbor or shvigger, but everyone around town will be tzinding licht at the same time. Stressing out does not get the work done any faster. Since you have a week from Shabbos this year, the Seder table can be set early, even if a cooking marathon is still going on in your kitchen. Open the windows. Turn the music on! It’s virtually impossible to be stressed when you peel beets to the rhythm of a song. If you’re not headed to Niagara Falls, Pennsylvania, Busch Gardens, Cape Cod, the Berkshires, Virginia, or Lake George, then I’ll see you at Bronx Zoo on Wednesday with half of Klal Yisroel, and at Van Saun Park with the other half. (If you’re trying to refill your wallets after emptying it out for yom tov, this works well.) The other two days we may try to be more accommodating to the kids.

Have a wonderful, uplifting and relaxing yom tov!

Egypt: a land chock-full of history, especially for us Yidden. Located in Northeast Africa and just a hop, skip and a jump away from Eretz Yisroel (though I hear it can take 40 years to get from one to the other…), Egypt was at the center of the ancient world and one of the first civilizations.

The Nile River The Nile River played a big role in establishing Egypt as the hub of ancient civilization. As Egypt is mainly desert land, the Nile provided life-giving sustenance. As we know, the Nile overflowed every year and flooded the land. Although that can potentially be extremely damaging and dangerous, the Egyptians built complicated irrigation systems that carried the water all over the land and transformed the dry desert into fertile farmland. They also created channels and basins in which to store the water for a later time. Pretty advanced for a few thousand years ago! According to many historians, Egyptians were the first to practice agriculture on a large scale and to grow large crops of wheat, barley and flax.

The yearly flooding was such a focal point in ancient Egypt that their calendar would begin that month. Musical Instruments Ancient Egyptians are well known for their colorful culture. Many of the instruments we have today were first documented to have been used in Egypt. The Egyptians created many wind instruments such as the ney and zummara, which were similar to modern-day flutes and clarinets. They also had an arched harp-like instrument, which is assumed to have been one of the most popular instruments in the times of the pharaohs. The ney

The harp

The zummara

The Nile was also used as a transportation route. Egyptians would transport goods via the river and even along the aforementioned channels to get it farther inland.

There are currently 118 pyramids still standing in Egypt. 302

At 4,132 miles, the Nile is the longest river in the world. Paper, Toothpaste and Other Inventions Did you ever wonder how ancient civilizations took care of their oral hygiene? No? Me neither. Toothpaste is just a part of our lives that we don’t usually think too much about. Well, Egypt was the first documented civilization to use a toothpaste-like mixture to clean their teeth. The mixture consisted of rock salt, dried iris flowers, pepper and mint. It was crushed into a fine paste with a bit of water, and they used frayed twigs as toothbrushes. That’s quite sophisticated for an ancient civilization! Egyptians were also the first ones to invent paper. Their form of paper was made from papyrus plants that grew along the Nile, which is where the word paper comes from. They would weave together long strips of the spongy insides of the papyrus and bind them together by putting weights on them. This created large papyrus sheets which were used to write on. Thus, the first version of paper was created! Since the Egyptians were the first to have paper to write on, it makes sense that they also created some kind of ink. For a few centuries, ink was mostly made from soot or ochre mixed with water or oil. They later added metal to the mixture, which made the ink last longer. Some libraries around the world display preserved papyrus sheets, estimated to be from the first through third centuries CE.

The population of Egypt is estimated to number around 104 million people, with 21 million residing in the capital city of Cairo.

Maimonides The Rambam lived in Egypt for the last chapter of his life, where he was the personal physician of Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt. For most of his life, the Rambam lived in Córdoba, Spain, but after the Muslims took over the city, the Jews were forced to flee or face forced conversion. After wandering for a few years in lower Spain, Morocco, and, for a brief while, Eretz Yisroel, the Rambam settled in Fusat, a city in Egypt, around the year 1168. The shul where he learned and saw patients still stands in Egypt.

When I hurriedly walked you by last Shabbos, I noticed the pitying look in your eyes. You realized that I was rushing home so that my husband, who was babysitting could get to minchah on time. It was obvious what you were thinking: Why doesn't her family rely on the eruv? Why does she have to be cooped up at home all day? I know that your concern was genuine, and that's why I am writing this letter. You see, although it may appear to you that this is a challenge, I am sure that you don't feel self-pity that you can't turn lights on and off on Shabbos or that you fast on Yorn Kippur. We all do mitzvos gladly and with pride, so there's no need to pity me; on the contrary, I am very proud of the fact that my family doesn't rely on the eruv, for I am certain that this is the right approach. I will be glad to share with you some of the reasons why.

Rabbanim who disagreed with the ruling of these leading luminaries, but it was the view of the great Gedolim that was overwhelmingly accepted. • If a slice of meat deemed treif by gedolim of such stature, none of us would even consider eating it. If, lehavdil, four hundred of the leading medical experts would issue a statement stating that the usage of a certain over the counter medication could cause death or serious illness, no responsible person would ever rely on other doctors and take this medication. Certainly, Shmiras Shabbos shouldn't be treated any less seriously!

Excursions sponsored by:

Dear Readers, As we present our latest Excursions compilation, please keep the following in mind.

This list includes the hours specifically for the days of chol hamoed. We took great care to present up-to-the-minute information. However, before heading anywhere, we advise you to verify the hours, inquire about prices, and make reservations in advance whenever possible. Some venues will not let you in once full, and others require reservations even though they did not state so. While, for the most part, COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, some venues still require masks in their facilities. A select few also require proof of vaccination. Have masks on hand, and be prepared with the information before planning your trip. Admission fees apply for most attractions. Parking fees apply for some local parks and other attractions, too. All attractions that do not have hours on chol hamoed, are not yet open for the season, or have closed either temporarily or permanently have been omitted from the list. We present this list for informational purposes only; it is not an endorsement of any specific attraction, and discretion should be used.

Wishing you all a wonderful yom tov and a lovely chol hamoed experience.
