(Re: Recorded for Posterity)

Thank you so much for your contest Recorded for Posterity, and for continuing to print submissions. The stories are harrowing, yet they are such poignant and powerful accounts of our nation’s history, as well as testimony to each individual’s unbelievable trust in Hashem, even during such difficult times.

Most of all, it’s so touching to see the descendants of the previous generation take pride in their ancestors and record their stories. Thank you for making this happen!

NO HINT OF FLORALS

(Re: Not a Takeout; Inbox, Issue 165)

Thank you for your heimish, entertaining, educational and inspiration-packed weekly publication. I’m writing this letter to share a personal story on the topic of taking leftovers from halls.

My parents were recently preparing for my brother’s bar mitzvah. When the caterer and planner met with my parents, they told my mother that the hall was hosting a very high-end simcha the day prior to our booked date, and that the baalas simcha had offered to leave the flowers in the hall for the family hosting the following night’s simcha. To my parents, it was a big financial relief, as every dollar counted. They even reached out to the woman to thank her, especially as she

could have brought the expensive arrangements home since Shabbos was only two days later.

On the day of my brother’s bar mitzvah, we arrived at the hall early for pictures and to make sure that everything was ready. As soon as we stepped inside, we were surprised to find no hint of flowers anywhere. My mother quickly called the party planner to ask her if the woman hosting the simcha the night before had changed her mind, but the response was negative.

Once we knew the baalas simcha hadn’t changed her mind, the hall manager quickly checked the cameras to check if any of the workers had placed the flowers in a different room while our bar mitzvah was being set up. He soon came back saying that the cameras had recorded two people coming into the hall, gathering all flower arrangements and leftover food, and stuffing it all into a marked van of a local organization.

Obviously, this was very upsetting news. Without much time before our guests were due to arrive, we quickly had to order flowers. There was no time to think of options such as styles and sizes and colors; instead, we simply called place after place to see who could deliver some arrangements on short notice.

In the end, baruch Hashem, we got our flowers, but there was an additional credit card charge, a rush fee we had to pay for, and some very anxious few minutes immediately before the bar mitzvah began. When the first few guests walked in, we had to snap right into relaxed simcha mode and greet them all with smiles and grace.

To our wonderful organizations who help baalei simcha cover expenses in a respectful way, your work is tremendously respected! But please make sure that this does not come at another person’s expense. All it takes is a phone call to the hall manager to make sure the food and flowers are available to donate. For all you know, it was especially put aside to help another family who could use the extra help, just like the families you seek to help.

With much appreciation to all of our volunteers and chesed organizations,

I’m reaching out to the team at The Boro Park View simply to say that I am looking forward to following the Pesach cleaning program typically launched a few weeks before Pesach.

A Local Reader

YOUR VOICE

I am looking to get in touch with mothers of children with either a cleft lip or palate who have had surgery done in the United States in the past few years. I am part of a large text support group, and there is a great lack of doctor references. If you have any cleft information to share, please reach out to me through The Boro Park View. All information is kept strictly confidential.

Of course, if you are a new mother of a child with a cleft, or if it’s time for your child’s next cleft surgery, feel free to call me to be matched with parents who have used the doctor you are considering and have given permission to be contacted. To be clear, this is not a referral organization; just an open line of communication between parents who would like to share experiences (and sometimes pictures).

PARSHAS MISHPATIM

To Master Middos

You might expect the Torah to build on the foundations of emunah inculcated at Har Sinai and begin with important positive commandments such as tzitzis , tefillin , Shabbos, or Krias Shema. Why does the Torah begin with the undesirable, uncharacteristic, and hopefully uncommon topic of a slave sold due to theft?

REB ARYEH FINKEL, ZT”L, the Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshivas Mir-Brachfeld, was a paragon of mussar and middos tovos. When speaking with the Rosh Yeshivah, talmidim felt his sincerity and knew that the advice and guidance he offered was free of any personal considerations. He was a gadol in Torah and in middos

One day, Reb Aryeh was sitting at the dining room table of his tiny apartment on Rechov Malachi in Yerushalayim, engrossed in his learning. Suddenly, the vibration of a drill loudly penetrated the stillness. It was nearly impossible to hear himself think. Then Reb Aryeh noticed some peeling paint from the ceiling drop onto the table and floor.

“What’s going on?” he asked his rebbetzin. “Is everything okay?”

The rebbetzin explained that the neighbors upstairs were just beginning to renovate their apartment. Renovations are a fact of life in apartment buildings in Eretz Yisroel, but it isn’t very pleasant. Constant drilling, banging and pounding drown out every other sound and make for uncomfortable vibrations. Compound the noise level with the shrieks of the Arab workers as they come and go and do their work, and it’s only normal for neighbors to count the days until the project is completed.

But Reb Aryeh smiled when he heard this explanation. He immediately closed his Gemara, donned his hat and jacket, and went upstairs. His loud knocking on the neighbor’s door was barely audible above the din. Finally, a child opened the door.

“Is your father home?” Reb Aryeh asked.

“Abba, Abba!” the boy called as he scampered inside. “The neighbor Finkel is at the door!”

The neighbor’s face turned colors. “Oy, I forgot to tell Rabbi Finkel about our construction plans! Who knows what he’s going to say now?”

He made his way to the door, and was surprised to see Reb Aryeh’s broad smile. “Shalom aleicheim! ” Reb Aryeh said. “Can I come in to talk?”

The neighbor welcomed him in, and Reb Aryeh said, “I was so happy to hear that you started to build. I’ve been wondering how you manage in such a small apartment. The renovations must be costing you a lot of money, and I would love to help. Right now, I can’t. But if you need me to sign as guarantor for a loan or something, that I could do. In fact, I’d be happy to sign for you!”

And with a friendly handshake, Reb Aryeh went back to his Gemara in his apartment downstairs.

The man stood fixed in his doorway, watching his exceptional neighbor descend the stairs. He couldn’t help but wonder, And the Finkels? How do they manage in their tiny, crowded apartment? And the even bigger question — How does one acquire such an unbelievable ayin tovah?

As the construction continued, one of the Finkel children expressed his annoyance at the persistent drilling. Reb Aryeh remained unruffled. “What would you say if the neighbor building on top of us was your brother? Would it still bother you?” he

Coming on the heels of Matan Torah, Parshas Mishpatim begins by delineating laws of the Torah. Interestingly, it begins with the laws of Eved Ivri.

asked.

Such was the ayin tovah of this talmid chacham who was a giant in middos much as he was a giant in learning. That is the way of the Torah!

* * * * *

Through the Eved Ivri, we learn how beautiful the laws of the Torah are.

Despite his degrading past and lowly position, the Torah gets into the mind of the slave. Hashem knows what drove the slave to theft, and the laws are designed to rehabilitate him. A master must offer his slave the same quality food and drink as he eats, and care for all of his needs. If there is only one pillow in the house, it must be given to the slave. The slave must be treated with dignity and drawn close. Pure Torah hashkafah prods us to see the tzelem Elokim in everyone around us.

Having an Eved Ivri in the house also provided an opportunity for the master to educate the slave on proper middos. For six years, the former thief watched his master’s upright behavior and learned how to live properly and ensure he wouldn’t go back to his errant ways once he was released.

Rav Yechezkel Abramsky, zt”l, demonstrated this indirect education through his impeccable treatment of their household help. From time to time, he would call the cleaning woman over and tell her to take a break and rest. He told her to work more slowly so the labor wouldn’t be as difficult, despite the expense of the extra hours of pay. Being treated this honorably caused the cleaning woman to look more favorably at the Torah and its wonderful ways.

The Torah begins with the halachos of Eved Ivri to demonstrate that middos tovos are the foundation of Torah, “Derech eretz kadmah l’Torah.”

Pure Torah hashkafah prods us to see the tzelem Elokim in everyone around us.

COVID Restrictions Fading Away as Mask and Vaccine Mandates End

Two major COVID-related changes took place last week, with the New York State’s Department of Health lifting its mask mandate in health care settings, while officials in the five boroughs ended the vaccination mandate for municipal workers.

CBS News reported that the state rolled back the mask mandate on Sunday, leaving the decision about whether or not to mask up in the hands of individual health care facilities including hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers. According to The Journal News, acting New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said that the move was made possible by the availability and safety of COVID vaccines and other treatments. He described the end of the health care mask mandate as “a transition,” declaring that the pandemic has not yet ended.

NYC Health + Hospitals has said that its mask mandates will continue for now. Mount Sinai has said it will review its policies before making an announcement, with staff at New York Presbyterian saying that it, too, was waiting to make a decision, as of Sunday afternoon.

New York City’s vaccination mandate for municipal workers, one of the strictest in the country, was lifted last Friday. According to ABC 7, nearly 1,800 city workers were fired from their jobs because they refused to be immunized against COVID, with numerous lawsuits filed in regard to their termination.

Mayor Eric Adams said that those who were let go could reapply for their jobs, but they would not be reinstated or awarded any back pay.

“New Yorkers should not be paying for someone who wasn’t working,” said Adams. “They made a decision. People made a decision to not take the vaccine when they were supposed to.”

Owners of The American Dream entertainment complex in Rutherford have taken yet another step to woo Jewish consumers, with a 34,000-square-foot department store celebrating its grand opening this past Tuesday. Located on Level 3 of American Dream, The ADdress is fully stocked with modest attire for women and children, with two new Monsey Trails routes

offering daily service to and from the mall, one serving Monsey and New Square, and the other bringing shoppers from Boro Park and Williamsburg.

“Many brands believe that independence is key to their success, and the mall model goes against that, but we think about the consumer — and do they want a single store, or a place that has 35 different brands?” Devorah Kaplan, head of brand acquisition for The Address, told VIN News. “People come from all over the world to this area, and they spend days running around doing their shopping. We have it all at The ADdress.”

Many of the brands featured at The ADdress had been primarily sold online, but the department store’s opening will make them easily accessible to all, while also giving shoppers the ability to see, touch and try on garments. In addition to fashion labels such as House of Lancry, BYRD New York, Lil Legs and Malka Majesty Gowns, ArtScroll and Waterdale acrylic products will also be sold at The ADdress, which will expand by an additional 24,000 square feet on a second level sometime this summer. The new section will feature men’s clothing and bridal wear.

Located within an hour of Monsey, Kiryas Joel, New York City and Lakewood, American Dream has proven to be a popular destination for the Jewish community. A planned kosher food court will be opening soon, and American Dream already has several eateries that serve the Jewish community, including some that offer cholov Yisroel options.

70 MPH Speed Limit a Possibility in NY?

Describing New York’s 65 mph speed limit as outdated, a state senator from the Corning area has sponsored legislation that would let drivers take their speedometers up to 70 in certain areas of the state.

Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin reported that Senator Tom O’Mara introduced the bill last week, saying that New York is one of only seven states in the country that still have a 65 mph speed limit in place. With the many technology and safety features included in today’s cars, O’Mara said that he believes that the time has come for New York to raise its speed limit.

“Most states have increased the speed limit to 70 mph, including neighboring Pennsylvania,” said O’Mara. “Many have gone even higher, and it’s time for New York to do the same.”

O’Mara’s bill could have the speed limit going up on more than a dozen roadways, subject to the approval of the New York State Thruway Authority or Department of Transportation. All are in more rural areas of the state.

While O’Mara touted the idea for its convenience and efficiency, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety took a different view of his bill, saying it would result in more deaths and serious injuries. According to a 2017 study, a speed limit increase of 5% causes an 8% increase in death rates on interstates and freeways, and a 3% jump on other roadways.

“We would expect to see the same thing if New York goes ahead with this,” said IIHS vice president for research and statistics Charles Farmer.

USDA Proposes New Nutrition Standards for School Meal Programs

Schoolkids nationwide can expect to see less sugar and sodium on their plates in the years ahead under proposed recommendations from the United States Department of Agriculture.

NPR reported that the new standards focus on upping the nutritional content of school meals in an effort to limit diet-related diseases, with a report released last year by the FDA showing that 92% of school breakfasts and 69% of school lunches contained excessive amounts of sugar. A recent report by Robert Wood Johnson’s Healthy Eating Research found that aligning standards for school meal programs with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommends that no more than 10 percent of a meal’s calories should come from added sugars, would create multiple benefits, including improved academic outcomes.

The guidelines would be phased in over a period of several years, beginning in 2025, limiting sugar in specific high-sugar items at first and, over time, focusing on reducing sugar across the entire school menu. Flavored milk would be allowed under certain circumstances, with restrictions in place to limit the allowable amount of added sugar. The nutrition standards would reduce weekly sodium limits over a period of several years, and would emphasize whole-grain products.

According to the Associated Press, health experts have said that limiting children’s sugar and salt intakes can decrease the incidence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and other

health issues, which often persist into adulthood. But while Katie Wilson, executive director of the Urban School Food Alliance, hailed the new standards as being “necessary to help America’s children lead healthier lives,” others took a different view, saying that they place a heavy burden on small and rural school districts.

“School meals are at a breaking point,” said Diane PrattHeavner, a spokesperson for the School Nutrition Association. “These programs are simply not equipped to meet additional rules.”

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack defended the new guidelines, saying that USDA grants of up to $150,000 will be offered to help small and rural school districts make the proposed changes, which he hopes that schools will implement ahead of the USDA’s current schedule.

A 60-day public comment period on the proposed standards was opened on February 7. Comments can be submitted through April 10 online at www.regulations.gov or by mail to School Meals Policy Division, Food and Nutrition Service, P.O. Box 9233, Reston, Virginia, 20195.

Choking Hazard Prompts Stroller Toy Recall

A plush toy designed for babies from birth up is being recalled by its manufacturer after 12 reports were received of infants chewing on the item’s decorative elements after they became detached from the main body.

Some 472,850 Skip Hop Silver Lining Cloud Stroller Toys (style number 307150 and UPC 87967402572) are subject to the February 9th recall. The toys, which feature dangling raindrops and can be used with the Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym, were sold nationwide at retailers including Amazon, Target, Buy Buy Baby, Macy’s, Barnes & Noble and Kohls from June 2016 through December 2022.

Customers who have the affected item are advised to cut off the raindrops immediately, discard them and send Skip Hop a picture of the raindrop-less cloud at www.skiphoprecall.com. Consumers will receive a $10 gift card and a free shipping code from the company upon receipt of the photo.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the recall, which affects only the raindrops portion of the toy.

CHAPTER 48

RECAP: Lenny calls his wife and tells her everything. Even though he knows he’s made an awful mess of things, talking through it seems to have helped. He’s noticeably happier at the end of the conversation.

They did not return via Dublin. Instead, they spent thirteen hours laid over in Alicante, Spain. They checked into a cheap hotel, and Zach and Izzy visited a castle that was supposed to be beautiful. It probably was, too. But Izzy couldn’t tell. He was pretty sure he fell asleep at one point during the tour.

From Alicante, they passed on to Madrid. This layover was only a few hours long, which meant they had enough time to get to their gate, but not enough time to explore.

They’d left Lodz Tuesday morning. But with three flights and two layovers, it was Wednesday afternoon before they landed in JFK. They’d been traveling for close to 36 hours.

“Shower,” Zach gasped to no one in particular. His duffel bag was slung over his shoulder, yet he still outpaced Izzy and Lenny, whose wheeled suitcases dragged behind them. He wrinkled his nose. “I smell so bad, I want to run away from myself!”

“I want to sleep in my own bed,” Izzy mumbled in turn. “Another few hours in

padded chairs, and I doubt I’ll stand up straight ever again.”

Lenny caught up with them, the lines in his face betraying his own weariness. “I just want…” he began, before trailing off with a thoughtful look.

“It’s good to be back,” Zach observed. “But now we’ve gotta face facts. The vacation is over, and we’re all unemployed.”

“That’s why we like you so much,” Izzy replied. “Your boundless optimism.” They rounded a corner and stood in line for passport control. “I’ve been thinking…”

Zach nodded. “That’s good.”

The tiredness lifted a little, and Izzy rolled his eyes in amusement. “Listen, you don’t have much to worry about.” He gestured at Lenny and himself. “We don’t have any jobs lined up for ourselves. But you’ve got contacts you can lean on, friends in high places. And you’re a talented musician to boot. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding work.”

“Oh, I’m not worried,” Zach answered. “In fact, I’ve already got a few ideas on what I might want to do. I might even bring you

in, if you’re interested. What do you think?”

Izzy gave him an appraising look. “Doing what?”

They moved a little forward in line. “Construction,” Zach replied.

“Construction?” Izzy repeated, surprised. “Why construction? And do you actually know anything about it?”

“Not a bit,” Zach answered cheerfully. “But I know people who do, and I think I can get them to work for me. I wouldn’t handle the hands-on parts of things. I’d get contracts, manage customer relations, hire the right people. I’ve already got a network of connections. People trust me, or at least they used to.” Zach smiled, a little painfully. “Hopefully, they will again. I think it’ll work.”

Izzy considered. “Where would I come in?”

“You’ve got a head for administrative work. You’ve got a legal background.” Zach shrugged. “Seems like just what I’d need to get rolling.”

Izzy nodded slowly. “I can’t think about it now, but let’s talk. It definitely sounds interesting.”

“Will do.”

Lenny leaned forward. “I ran a construction company once, you know.”

Zach and Izzy shared a quick glance at each other before looking away.

“Did it do well?” Zach asked.

“It did at first,” Lenny answered a bit weakly. “We did good work, but I took on too much.”

“I see.”

They arrived at the front of the line, sparing Zach any further awkwardness.

“Good afternoon,” the woman said from within the glass enclosure. “May I see your passports, please?”

Julia was waiting for him outside baggage claim. Lenny had worried that she might not come. After everything he’d told her on the phone, she’d been awfully quiet. He still didn’t know what she was planning.

But there she was, waiting for him. She even took his carry-on while he dragged his suitcase toward the parking lot.

But none of that meant he was off the hook. In fact, Lenny realized, he didn’t want to be off the hook. He wanted to make things right, not forget about them.

So it was with trepidation, but also some excitement, that he got into the car and looked over at his wife.

“We need to talk, Lenny,” she said slowly.

“I know,” Lenny said back.

They talked for the entire drive home, and then for another hour at the living room table, before the kids came home and interrupted them. He sat down at the table and did math with Jesse, listened to Sheva run on and on about something her friend had said. David wasn’t home yet, but Lenny made a mental note to track the boy down and lose a game of basketball.

And later, when the kids were taken care of, he and Julia spoke some more.

What they came up with was no solution, no quick fix for all their problems. At best, it was just a beginning, and it would be hard for both of them. Julia would have to work more hours, they would have to cut their expenses to the

bone. And of course, Lenny had to find work ASAP.

But they had a plan, Julia was on his side, and he was back with his family.

It was like a dream come true.

Izzy’s car was in long-term storage at the airport. He offered to take Zach straight back to New Jersey, but there was nothing for Zach to do once he got there. In the end, Zach decided to take it easy and return home a day later. They cleaned themselves up, had a dinner that wasn’t pizza or barbecue, and made it to the Lodzer shul a few minutes before Maariv.

The two of them entered the beis medrash chatting tiredly, chuckling at something Zach had just said. Izzy held the manuscript, wrapped in a plastic bag, under one arm.

Chaim Simcha noticed them immediately.

With a loud cry of “welcome home!” he leaped up from his seat and rushed over, a broad smile plastered across his face. He embraced Izzy in a huge bear hug, then turned and gave Zach the same treatment.

“Shalom aleichem! ” he said loudly. Then, as if he couldn’t contain himself, he whooped, “It’s so good to see you two!”

“It’s good to be back,” Izzy said. “But oh, man, I am so tired. I could sleep for a week.”

“I could sleep for two weeks,” Zach countered. “In fact, I think I will, just as soon as I get back to New Jersey.”

“So?” Chaim Simcha prompted. He pointed to the bag. “Is that what I think it is?”

“No, it’s a sack of doughnuts.” Izzy grinned and presented the package to his brother. “Take a look, bro. The last sefer of the last Rebbe of Lodz.”

“Until now,” Zach corrected.

Izzy nodded solemnly. “Until now.”

Chaim Simcha removed the book from the bag with a look of reverence. He turned it over and over in his hands, his eyes wide and round behind his glasses. For a moment, it seemed as if he would kiss it, but instead he carried it to his shtender in the front of the room. With an oddly ceremonial little flourish, he set the book down and reached for the cover. Then he paused, and glanced at Zach.

“It technically belongs to you. Can I… open it?”

Izzy almost laughed out loud. Chaim Simcha had the look of a kid given carte blanche in a candy store.

Zach must have felt the same way. Eyes twinkling with amusement, he said, “Be my guest.”

Chaim Simcha opened up to the first page, a smile of pure joy on his face. It brought a pang of jealousy to Izzy. Why couldn’t he find such happiness? Izzy was glad to have the book, certainly. But for Chaim Simcha, it was like the sefer had flipped a switch deep in his soul. Just by being there. By existing. Izzy had never felt that way about anything. He won-

“SO?” CHAIM SIMCHA PROMPTED. HE POINTED TO THE BAG. “IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?”

dered if he ever would.

“Wait a minute,” Chaim Simcha said suddenly. Gone was the childlike wonder. Now his face seemed to flash between confusion, surprise, disbelief. Awe. He pointed at the words in front of him.

“Look,” he said.

“What are we looking at?” Izzy asked. He and Zach leaned in on either side, but he couldn’t understand what Chaim Simcha was so excited about. “It’s just the title page…”

“The title is Akiva Nechamtanu…”

Izzy shook his head slightly. “So what?”

“There’s a quote underneath it,” Chaim Simcha stressed, still in the same hushed tone. He turned the sefer toward Izzy.

Izzy squinted at the Rebbe’s thin, spidery script. “I appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses: Uriah Hakohen and Zechariah ben Yevarechyahu,” he translated. He looked up at Chaim Simcha in confusion. “What are —”

standing. He gestured to Zach. “And Zach — Zachary is the English version of Zechariah.”

“Richtig! ” Chaim Simcha shouted. “Now you’re getting it! The Rebbe was talking about you two!”

Zach frowned. “I don’t under— Are you sure about this? It seems a little crazy. What’s the message here?”

Izzy shrugged. “Maybe we hit rock bottom with this trip. All the craziness, the fact that we’re out of work, all of it. Maybe the message is that we needed this, that we’re about to soar.”

Chaim Simcha nodded. “Maybe you’re about to bring Moshiach! You never know. Or maybe the Rebbe wanted to ask you two a question: What does Yisrael Uriah have to do with Zechariah Ganz? Why did Hashem bring you two together in the first place?” He took Zach and Izzy by the arms and physically drew them all closer. “What tachlis can you two bring into the world? What potential do you have, together, that could change everything ?”

“‘But what does Uriah have to do with Zechariah? ’” Chaim Simcha continued. “That line is a quote from the end of Makkos. It’s asking why the pasuk links Uriah, a navi from the first Beis Hamikdash, with Zechariah, who lived at the beginning of Bayis Sheni.”

Izzy frowned. “Again, so what? What’s the point here?”

“Don’t you get it?” Chaim Simcha asked, practically dancing now. “It’s a message: You can’t have Moshiach, like Zechariah talks about, without the destruction of Uriah first. That’s what Rabi Akiva is saying in the Gemara. You have to hit rock bottom before you can rise. Think, Izzy! Uriah and Zechariah!”

“What are you trying to say? Just tell us,” Zach said, his tone just a little frustrated. “We’re not getting it.”

Chaim Simcha put a hand on Izzy’s shoulder. “You’re Uriah – your name is Yisrael Uriah.”

Izzy’s eyes went wide with under-

Izzy chuckled nervously. “Beats me. We were going to try to work together, maybe. Doing construction and stuff.”

“And we’re writing some music,” Zach added thoughtfully.

“There is that,” Izzy said, more to himself than to his brother. He came to earth suddenly. “Say, Lenny’s Hebrew name doesn’t happen to be Akiva, does it? Or Nechamtanu or something?”

Chaim Simcha grinned. “It’s Yaakov,” he admitted. “But he might still be a part of your tachlis. You never know. Maybe you’ll help each other yet. Give him a call tomorrow, and find out,” he suggested.

Izzy definitely didn’t want to do that. Lenny seemed to have turned over a new leaf, true. But that didn’t mean Izzy wanted any more do with the man. Lenny attracted trouble wherever he went. And Izzy had had more than enough trouble lately.

Still, maybe that was precisely why

CHAIM SIMCHA REMOVED THE BOOK FROM THE BAG WITH A LOOK OF REVERENCE. HE TURNED IT OVER AND OVER IN HIS HANDS, HIS EYES WIDE AND ROUND BEHIND HIS GLASSES.

they should stay in touch with him. Lenny desperately needed people around him who could help him, could be a steadying influence. Doubtless that was what Chaim Simcha was thinking. It was the rebbe in him, always looking out for lost souls. And Lennny did claim to have experience that might help them, so it might just work out.

“Maybe,” Izzy conceded. “I’ve got to think about it.”

“You do that.” Chaim Simcha seemed to understand what Izzy wasn’t saying, yet another of his rebbishe talents. But he didn’t press the issue. Instead, Chaim Simcha glanced back down at the sefer on his shtender, and his smile returned. He clapped them both happily on the shoulder.

“The Rebbe wasn’t a navi,” he said. “But I’m pretty sure he had ruach hakodesh in spades. I’d be willing to bet that we’re witnessing the start of something really beautiful. L’chaim!”

Zach nodded. “You might be right.”

“I think he’s right,” Izzy agreed. On a whim, he grabbed Zach’s hand and shook it firmly. “Izzy and Zach Construction sounds like a great idea.”

Zach shook just as firm, but his eyes twinkled. “Zach and Izzy is a better idea, I think…”

“Hey, over dehr,” Morrie growled from his seat in the back. “Are ve going to start Maariv, or vhat?” He looked at the three of them and rolled his eyes. “My granddaughter’s vedding is next veek. I don’t vhant to be late!”

Chaim Simcha laughed. “Fair enough, Morrie.” He turned to his brother. “Care to do the honors?”

Izzy nodded and donned a tallis. It felt comfortable, right. He was finally home. And, for the first time in a long while, it even felt like he had some direction in his life. He had no job, no shidduch, and no idea what the future would hold. But somehow, it all made perfect sense to him.

And to think that all it had taken to achieve this perspective was to fly halfway around the world and get arrested.

If only everything in life were so easy…

He stepped up to the amud and opened the giant siddur

“Vehu rachum…”

CHIC CHARCUTERIE

BY: MIRIAM PESSY WERCBERGER

PHOTOGRAPHY BY: MOSHE GRUNFELD 845-442-0720

Purim is almost upon us. Does the thought make your heart quicken with anticipation—or apprehension? Help, what am I doing for mishloach manos?

This year, I’m taking a break from sweets to focus on the big-ticket Purim items, namely wine, meat and more meat. Let’s get this party started!

BARRELS OF BEEF

Whether you’re sending this barrel of goodness to a special someone or displaying it at home, this one definitely calls for a l’chaim. Agantzyahrfreilich!

HOMEMADE JERKY

When I embarked on my jerky-making mission I knew I had to enlist the help of the best in the field. Once Mr. Gluck from Flavor On Board generously shared some expert tricks and tips, I was ready to roll! For those in need of ready-made, beautiful shalach manos and all things jerky-related, check out the beautiful selection at Flavor On Board.

SWEET ‘N SMOKY JERKY

The smoky flavor derived from the liquid smoke makes these irresistible.

INGREDIENTS

1½ to 2 lb. London broil or skirt steak

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup teriyaki sauce

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

¼ tsp. garlic powder

1½ tsp. liquid smoke

SWEET ‘N SPICY JERKY

The menfolk in my house devoured this in a blink!

INGREDIENTS

1½ to 2 lb. London broil or skirt steak

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

½ tsp. black pepper

2 T. orange juice

2 T. grape juice

1 T. vinegar

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

DIRECTIONS

(for both flavors)

1. Freeze the meat for 1 to 2 hours so it’s easier to slice.

2. Trim all the fat from the edges.

3. Slice the steak into ⅛-inch slices. Cut against the grain, checking which direction the lines run and cutting in the opposite direction.

4. Mix together the marinade ingredients. Place the marinade and meat into a Ziploc bag, and marinate overnight. Turn the meat a few times while marinating to distribute the flavors evenly.

5. Remove the meat from the marinade and arrange the slices in a single layer on a cooking rack set over a baking sheet.

6. Bake the meat for 3 hours at 170°, turning once halfway through.

7. Remove the jerky from the oven and immediately place it in a sealed bag.

8. The jerky can be stored at room temperature if vacuum packed, in the fridge for one week, or in the freezer for several months.

CHIC WAY TO CHARCUTERIE

This charcuterie board is a great way to bring festivity and Purim spirit into your home. One and all are welcome to nibble and nosh, or just enjoy the feast for the eye!

CANDIED BEEF FRY

This fun and easy recipe adds elegance and sophistication to your meat board.

INGREDIENTS

8 oz. beef fry

2 T. brown sugar, packed

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325°.

2. Place the beef fry in a single layer on one or two sheet pans.

3. Mix together the sugar and spices. Sprinkle this mixture onto the beef fry, and press down to make it adhere to the meat.

4. Bake the beef fry for 25 to 30 minutes, until it’s crisp but not burned.

SALAMI CHIPS WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

It doesn’t get simpler than this! If you freeze the chips, reheat them gently on low heat until just warm.

INGREDIENTS

12 oz. salami roll

APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

¼ cup apricot jam

¼ cup mustard

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325°.

2. Cut the salami into thin slices, approximately ⅛-inch thick.

3. Place the slices on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 35 to 45 minutes.

4. To make the dipping sauce, place all ingredients in a container and shake until combined. It may remain somewhat chunky.

5. Serve the salami chips with the dipping sauce.

TAKE IT TO GO

PICKLED CONDIMENTS

Homemade pickled condiments were always on my bucket list. Now that I tried it, I am eager to spread the wealth.

Unlike fermented vegetables, pickled condiments are fast and simple to make. They can be a lovely shalach manos gift as well as a tasty addition to your Purim seudah. But watch out — these are highly addictive! Pickled vegetables last 1 to 2 months in the refrigerator.

PICKLED JALAPENOS

You’ll want to put these on everything. The jalapenos are very spicy at first, and mellow as they sit in the fridge.

INGREDIENTS

20 jalapeno peppers

1¼ cups white vinegar

1¼ cups filtered water

1 T. sugar

2 T. kosher salt

2 tsp. pickling spice

DIRECTIONS

1. Using gloves, remove the stems from the jalapenos and cut the peppers into thin rings.

2. Place the jalapeno rings into a large jar (or two smaller jars), pressing down to pack the jar tightly.

3. Place the remaining ingredients in a pot (use a pareve pot or pan and pareve utensils to keep the final product pareve), and bring to a boil.

4. Remove the pickling liquid from the heat and pour it over the jalapenos while still hot. Seal the jar.

5. Let the jar cool, then refrigerate it. The jalapenos can be eaten after an hour, but will taste best after a few days.

PICKLED RED ONIONS

These add a pretty pop of color and zing to everything.

INGREDIENTS

1 large red onion

1¼ cups white vinegar

½ cup water

1 T. sugar

1 T. salt

1 tsp. pickling spice

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

1. Slice the onions thinly and place them into a medium-sized jar.

2. Place the remaining ingredients in a pot (use a pareve pot or pan and pareve utensils to keep the final product pareve), and bring to a boil.

3. Remove the pickling liquid from the heat and pour it over the onions while still hot. Seal the jar.

4. Let the jar cool, then refrigerate it.

A POUND OF CURE

by: Y. BLOOMING photos courtesy of: FLAVOR ON BOARD

These days, everyone and their brother is curing fish that weren’t even unwell, leaving behind a little mess and a lot of flavor. With the month of Adar about to awaken us from our winter slumber, here we take some smelling salts and jump into the curing game.

These days, every vachnacht or kiddush worth bragging about boasts multiple types of cured fish. Now, to be fair, the herring our grandfathers ate was also cured, but for the purpose of this conversation we are going to focus on the cured fish you’re more likely to find at a simcha. You know, the new kids on the block.

Before we begin, we must ask what cured fish is and why anyone would eat it.

Back in the days before refrigeration, it was necessary to find creative ways to keep fish (and other foods) preserved for long periods. Curing the fish involved using a variety of methods to prevent spoilage. One way or another, they all included salting the fish.

Why is that? Anyone who has ever done anything in a kitchen knows that salt pulls moisture out of food through the process of osmosis. If you’ve never heard of it, slice a couple of vegetables on a plate, salt them, and watch what begins to happen within a minute.

When fish is cured, the salt draws moisture from the microorganisms that cause food to rot and produce toxins that affect our health. Bacteria cannot survive under a high osmotic pressure, which leads to the fish being persevered for lengthy periods.

Today, with the ability to freeze fish for long periods, there is no longer a need for curing it. Nevertheless, the upgrade in flavor and texture curing offers accounts for its growing popularity.

OSMOSIS

For those who didn’t listen during biology class, osmosis is the movement of water through a barrier. This is the process that helps cells absorb water, kidneys filter blood, and countless other functions we take for granted. Without getting too deep into the weeds, osmosis causes water to flow from an area of a higher concentration of water molecules (the inside of the aforementioned vegetable) to an area with a lower concentration of it (the salt on the surface).

Most cured salmon sold commercially today is presented as lox, even though the original lox called for salmon to be cured in salt alone, and today’s options are more varied. Nova lox, named after the area of Nova Scotia, where much salmon hails from, also includes smoking, which has led to smoked salmon and lox becoming almost interchangeable. Gravlax is another popular cured salmon, this one with the addition of sugar, herbs and other flavors.

With a growing number of boutique fisheries in the community offering an array of cured fish options, there’s no cure in sight for this salty craving.

CURE IT ON YOUR OWN

The term cure shares the same Latin origin as the more common cure that refers to healing. It stems from curare, which means to take care of

If you’re interested in taking care of some fish yourself, here are some tips born of personal experience. The process is really simple, and a little tinkering will get you to your preferred desired results. We will focus on the easiest and most common fish to cure: salmon.

Buy farm-raised. Yes, you read correctly. While wildcaught salmon is generally lauded for its benefits, you want a fish that you know has been raised without the potential for parasites.

Get quality fish. Ask your fish seller to give you a piece of salmon that is sushi-grade or as close to it as possible.

Start with a dry cure. You can cure fish in a brine solution, but a dry rub that includes salt and some other select ingredients (read on) is simpler and less messy.

Choose your size. If you want a quick cure (several hours), cut the fish into small pieces (think the size of herring tidbits). If you’ve got a couple of days, you can keep it whole.

Salt heavily. Place your fish into a container and cover it with a thick and generous amount of salt. You will be rinsing it off later anyway, so don’t be stingy. A handy tip is to aim for salt that totals around 15% of the weight of the fish. Use kosher salt or thicker grains of salt rather than table salt.

Add flavor. You can add sugar — brown sugar works great — to your salt for added benefit. Not only will it add great taste, but the sugar feeds helpful Lactobacillus bacteria, keeping the harmful bacteria levels low. You can also add peppercorn, allspice, pickling spices, herbs, garlic cloves, or anything you like, to taste.

Allow to cure. The fish will cure within hours, with the exact time depending on the size of the fish. More time will draw even more moisture from it and change the texture further.

Prepare for serving. Rinse the cure and pat dry. Cut thin slices if you’re going for more of a traditional lox-style bite. For a salad or snack, chop small. You can also pulse in food processor with finely chopped jalapeños, onions and something sweet, or enjoy it any way you like it.

LOX AND THE JEWS

Bagels and lox have become synonymous with Jewish cuisine in America over the past century. But why?

There is no direct connection between earlier Jewish life and this delicacy. In fact, salmon was expensive and hard to come by back in the shtetl. But lox did become popular with Jewish immigrants in the early 1900s, even though it wasn’t their creation, and the association has stuck ever since. Notably, the word lox itself comes from the Yiddish and German name for salmon.

A number of reasons have been suggested for its popularity among Jews. For one, lox didn’t require cooking or refrigeration for poor families living in tenements in crowded conditions and without proper kitchens. Another advantage was that lox is neither milchig nor fleishig, and has no shechitah requirements, making it a perfect source of protein for those who kept kosher.

Any bagel with lox isn’t complete without cream cheese, right? Food experts claim that the rich, sweet cream cheese once stood up beautifully to the original lox, which was far saltier than the smoked fish we call lox today (see above). Some claim that today’s lox sandwiches are not complemented by cream cheese in the same way.

Yet the sales numbers seem to disagree. Well, with a food as Jewish as this, what else but disagreement would you expect?

FISH FUTURE FOR THE

by: RUCHY REESE

A LOOK AT THE LIVYASAN

Many tales have been told of a gigantic fish that is hidden within the depths of the sea. No one in modern history has found this fish — and yet, we believe that it exists and will one day be served at a meal upon the arrival of Moshiach. That fish is the Livyasan, an enormous, solitary fish that has never even been seen.

THE LIVYASAN IN THE TORAH

And Hashem created hataninim hagedolim , and every living creature that crawls, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged fowl, according to its kind, and Hashem saw that it was good.

— Bereishis 1:21

Rashi tells us that “hataninim hagedolim” refers to the two Livyasan fish Hashem created on the fifth day — one of which Hashem killed, salted, and put away for the righteous in the future. Beyond this, there are several other mentions of the Livyasan in the Torah, including a full perek and a half in Sefer Iyov devoted to the might of this great sea beast. In Iyov, we learn that the Livyasan is a kosher fish, for “There is pride in his strong shields, closed with a narrow seal” (41:7). Rashi tells us that this refers to his scales, “which protect him like a shield.” The words “Under him are rays of the sun; where he lies is gold upon the mire” (41:22) refer to “his fins which are upon his belly,” for they “illumine and shine like the sun.”

Throughout this segment of Iyov, the Livyasan’s might is vividly described. The picture is painted of a powerful creature upon whom no weapon can have effect. The Livyasan knows no fear of created beings and has a frightful effect in the water he lives in,

you

Some commentators point out that the word “Livyasan” shares the same root as the words “Levi,” “levayah ” and “melaveh.” These are all terms denoting connection, as Leah Imeinu said when she named her son Levi, “This time my husband will become attached ( yelaveh) to me.”

The reason for Hashem rejoicing during the three-hour period of the afternoon (see below) is the great force of connection that is aroused when a Yid stops everything he is doing in the middle of the day to praise his Maker and daven Mincha.

The Gemara in Avodah Zarah (3b) tells us that until the Churban, Hashem would busy Himself with the Livyasan, frolicking with him for three hours each afternoon. In fact, Sefer Iyov tells us that “sadness rejoices before him,” which means the Livyasan is a creature full of simcha Perek Shirah informs us that the Livyasan sings of Hashem’s kindness each day, saying, “Hodu laShem ki tov, ki l’olam chasdo! ”

While this may sound fantastical, the Maharal writes that because the Livyasan is the largest of all creatures, it is used to represent all of Hashem’s creations and Hashem’s deep involvement with each of them on a personal level. Just as Hashem rejoices in “frolicking with the Livyasan,” so too, the entire creation is a source of joy for the Creator, as the pasuk says, “Let Hashem rejoice in His handiwork” (Tehillim 104:31).

ORO SHEL LIVYASAN

Bava Basra 75a tells us that in future times there will be a sukkah made from the skin of the Livyasan, and that the

remainder of its skin will be spread over the walls of Yerushalayim, radiating glory from one end of the world to the other.

A DEEPER DIVE

The Baal HaTanya writes that the Livyasan represents a particular type of tzaddik — one who is so deeply immersed in spirituality that he has little connection to This World. This Livyasan-type of tzaddik is similar to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who was able to reach great heights in avodas Hashem even though he was hidden in a cave and was unable to perform physical mitzvos such as shaking the lulav and hearing the shofar

There is another type of tzaddik — one who functions deeply within physicality, elevating and purifying the world through his engagement with earthly matters. He is represented by the Shor Habor — the Livyasan’s counterpart on land, in size and power.

The Midrash Rabbah describes a future battle between the Livyasan and the Shor Habor. This will happen when the Shor Habor impales the Livyasan, and the Livyasan uses its fin to shecht the Shor Habor. Shechting implies that something is made more fit and elevated to a

higher state.

According to the Baal HaTanya, this battle is an allegory for the importance of both types of tzaddikim, and how, at the end of days, they will elevate one another to even higher levels of service.

VELLEN MIR MACHEN A SEUDAH’NU

Ultimately, we are told that there will be a seudah in times to come in which delicacies prepared from both the Shor Habor and the Livyasan will be served, together with the Yayin Meshumar, to those who are invited to partake of the feast. This much-awaited feast will be the reward for Yidden who have devoted themselves to connecting with Hashem. Though a feast sounds lovely to our earthly ears, the Rambam writes in his introduction to Perek Chelek that we have really no understanding of what this means, for “there is no way in This World to grasp and comprehend the ultimate good which the soul will experience in the World to Come.” More specifically, he writes that “the Sages referred to this

good which is prepared for the righteous with the metaphor: the feast.”

He further explains that because we know only bodily good, we can comprehend goodness only in a finite form, but the ultimate good that will be experienced will be so overwhelmingly great that there is no true comparison in this world.

According to the Raavad, however, the feast of the Livyasan will be a physical meal, for “ein Mikra yotzi mipeshuto — you can’t take the verse out of its simple meaning.” This means the account should be understood according to its literal meaning.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak MiBerditchev resolves the conflict about whether the feast will be spiritual or physical, writing that for simple folk whose pleasure is limited to the physical world, the seudah will be experienced as a physical meal, and they’ll enjoy the taste of the Livyasan, the Shor Habor and the Yayin Meshumar. For tzaddikim, though, it will be a time in which they’ll engage in a different sort of feast: the gratification of a heightened spiritual relationship with Hashem.

May we all be zoche to delight in far more than just the taste of a great fillet of fish!

I couldn’t resist

putting that pun in the title. What else would you call an article about a relatively small piece of wonder that’s boxed up in glass and brought to you for your viewing pleasure?

Personally, I enjoy visiting aquariums. They’re clean, noise-free and odor-free. Outdoor zoos, on the other hand, I leave to animal enthusiasts like my sons.

Despite my fondness for water zoos, though, I’ll be the first to admit that I never wondered how they work. How they’re built. How how they get the fish. How their tanks are cleaned. But in writing this piece, I got myself good and curious.

So, aquariums.

First of all, they weren’t always around. Debuting in 1853, the first public aquarium was housed at the London Zoo. Until then, life under the sea was just another unknown to humans!

Now, I’d speedily fill a jumbo edition of The Boro Park View with aquarium information if I could, but that’s a moot point. Let’s explore the main areas of interest in aquariums, zooming in on the more captivating details as we move along.

by: CHANA GLUCK

How They’re Built

For starters, how do they build those massive aquarium windows? (I know, right? I never wondered either!) Walk into an aquarium, and you’ll feel as though you’re walking right up to the fish. The perfect transparency of the acrylic in front of you belies its thickness and strength and the massive effort it takes to look so effortless.

Take it straight from Tetsuhiro Shikiyama, former president and current chairman of Nippura, Japanese manufacturers of the top-quality acrylic windows used in some of the world’s most prestigious aquariums.

Shikiyama, a chemist by profession, has been at this for more than half a century. One of his most monumental works is the window of the massive display tank in the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. Looking into that tank, you don’t realize you’re looking right through a work of genius.

You see, that window is made of acrylic that’s 60 centimeters thick. That’s right; facing the tank, you’d be looking through nearly two feet of window! This window consists of sixteen layers of acrylic sheets glued together. And you can’t tell at all!

Acrylic is a plastic that’s stronger and more transparent than glass, and it can be layered in sheets for additional strength. But since acrylic panels can lose transparency when glued together, a glue with the same refraction angle as the acrylic itself is used. This thick, sticky glue must be perfectly applied, without a single gap or bubble.

But once another acrylic panel is laid on top of the glue, doesn’t the glue drip down the sides? Here’s when Shikiyama thought of the thin noodles that are so popular in Japan. Laying these noodles in a frame at the edges of each panel worked perfectly to prevent glue leakage, and they contracted along with the glue as it dried, preventing air bubbles. Genius!

After a rather protracted drying time of two months, the panels are polished by hand to achieve perfect transparency. In Shikiyama’s words, “The focus of any aquarium should be the creatures inside, and not the aquarium itself.”

How They’re Maintained

Walk into an aquarium, and you’ll gaze appreciatively at the graceful feats of multiple sea creatures. Hidden from view, though, is a rather inelegant, cavernous room — or set of rooms, or even wing! — containing behemoth pumps, filters and pipelines. Welcome to the decidedly unfancy life support system that keeps those colorful aquatic animals alive.

Public aquariums use natural or artificial seawater. And no, seawater cannot just be pumped straight from the bay into the aquarium tanks. Only a proper, deep-ocean pipeline would work for that — which some large aquariums do boast.

Spring water won’t do, either. Water creatures need their H2O to be of a specifically balanced quality, hence the life support system. This system pumps and filters water to rid it of pollution, sewage and unwanted materials like metals and plastics.

Even some aquariums located near the sea choose to create their own mix in order to have more control over the water’s makeup. First the water is treated with salt mixes that mimic the major, minor and trace elements found in favorable ocean conditions. Then it’s mixed with freshwater — after chlorine compounds have been removed from it — and hello, seawater!

This water is still constantly tested for quality, because you can’t just slap together a recipe and hope for the best when we’re talking about an environment that supports life. Here’s just a partial list of components aquarium water is generally tested for: temperature, acidity, salt content, oxygen content and nitrogen content.

How Aquariums Get Their Fish

How sea creatures are purchased and transported varies. Some, like Monterey Bay aquarium in California, actually collect the animals on their own. They zip out on a ship with an attached apparatus that reminds me of a Yiddishe mamme: This SUV-sized robot is all arms for so many different functions you’d be dizzy naming them. Its operatives send it way down in the deep while they sit on the deck, checking rare tropical species off their shopping list as the robot’s many telescopes and canisters do the work.

The more plebeian among aquarium societies get their fish from marine suppliers. Sea animals may be rescued, bred in captivity or caught in the wild. Since the aquarium trade is a global industry, and the vast oceans are hard to police, hunting restrictions aren’t so tight in all waters where fish are caught, and diving expeditions to collect them often go undocumented. This leads to some species being over-collected and in danger of extinction—and leaves some wondering if aquariums are at all ethical. That might be an interesting family discussion to have before next Chol Hamoed!

How the Creatures Are Fed

This isn’t your home-tank, which needs just a few shakes of fish flakes a day. Feeding fish in an aquarium may require divers to get in there and do the job. But that’s when it comes to feeding big guys like sea turtles. Fish in open water tanks can be fed by dropping food from above, while creatures deep in the tank can be fed via man-made “claws” or wide pipes.

How the Tanks Are Cleaned

Again, divers. And here I thought the sport was strictly out in the ocean and for fun! Aquarium divers enter the tanks before visitors arrive to vacuum waste and scrub the glass, as well as to make sure the tanks are clean and safe.

Dos and Don’ts

The three basic rules of maintaining aquarium fish are: Don’t overcrowd the tanks, as this lowers water quality fast.

Don’t overfeed the fish, as uneaten food contaminates the water.

Do partial water changes frequently to remove pollutants.

At any large aquarium you’ll find accountants, animal trainers, engineers, biologists and scientists. All of them are required to work together as a team to create the optimal environment for marine animals.

In general, you want an aquarium to be managed by people who care more about the creatures than the coffers. You want a staff who will be constantly on guard to maintain the highest standards in fish life support, who will care where their fish come from, and who will look for ways to better the environment of aquatic sea animals, both in and out of captivity.

I was overwhelmed with happiness seeing my 5thgrade daughter casually reading a magazine while munching on some food.

I couldn’t believe it. I even took a picture, I had to capture the moment!

This all happened after Mosaic came from a different angle and made such a positive difference in such an easy environment.

My 11 year old son was struggling to read. We sent him to many tutors but saw no improvement, and his anxiety and frustration was worsening each passing day. At first, he refused to go for any additional help, but 3 months ago he agreed to go to Mosaic since it is a fun and exciting program. This past shabbos, I was delighted and pleasantly surprised to see him for the very first time relaxing on the couch while reading a book!

AquaDom Sea Life, Germany

Of course, no sea report worth its salt (pun intended) is complete without at least a brief mention of the gorgeousturned-infamous cylindrical aquarium in the Radisson Collection Hotel in Berlin, Germany. This aquarium’s claim to fame is the transparent elevator built inside it, and the fact that it exploded and destroyed itself in December of this past year. The 1,500 fish inside were propelled into the streets — along with a million liters of water — and almost none survived. Fortunately, the incident happened at 5:45 a.m. and not during prime museum visiting time, resulting in only two people hospitalized for injuries. A burst later in the day would have brought fatalities. I’m sure investigations are ongoing, but early causes named were material fatigue and temperature difference.

The first step toward healing emotional pain will always be recognizing there is a problem that needs our attention. The second step requires recognizing the source of our problem. The third step is the more active one – what are we going to do with this information that we now possess?

In my experience, “giving space” to the unprocessed emotions and/or the subconscious faulty belief is crucial to the client’s healing process and is one of many valuable tools I employ to help my clients heal. “Giving space” means looking at the pain, observing it as if you’re an outsider looking in, and allowing it space to just “be.” Giving space to your pain is a deeper step than simply cognitively being aware that the pain is there. For example, let’s say I have a cut on my hand that is causing me pain. I can look at my cut, see it and say, “Oh, this hurts.” Alternatively, I can not look at my wound and not give it attention, but the pain will still be there driving me and my actions, albeit unconsciously.

Allowing THE UNPROCESSED EMOTION TO “BE” ultimately decreases its power and its hold on the body.

As part of encouraging my client to “give space” to his pain, I invite him to “meet” his belief around, for example, his old feelings of rejection. When a person repeatedly experiences rejection, the emotion of shame often comes up as well. Building a relationship with his emotion of shame can be helpful to my client. For instance, I will ask him to sit quietly in a chair and close his eyes. Then I’ll ask him to think about his emotion of shame, to see it as a separate entity, as something inside of him, but not him. I will ask him questions like, – “When did you last feel this emotion of shame?”

He may answer, “Last week I sat at the table with relatives at a family simcha. I felt intense shame thinking they must see me as such a loser because they’re a loud and lebedig bunch and I have nothing interesting to say.”

I will encourage my client to try to connect to the painful emotion. I might ask, “In which part of your body do you feel the shame? Do you feel it in your stomach? Your head? Your feet? How does it look? Does it have a shape? A face? A voice?”

I will encourage him to let his imagination build up a picture of this shame entity sitting with him. This exercise will inevitably make him feel uncomfortable, but it’s something I know he can handle as long as he understands this entity of shame is not him.

Allowing the shame or whatever the unprocessed emotion is — grief, sadness, anger, etc. — the space to “be” ultimately decreases its power and its hold on the body. Once the negative emotion is unblocked and processed, it will leave. The person is then free to move on and live their lives in balance and harmony.

THE LEATHER SUITCASE

BASYA LIPSCHUTZ, 7TH GRADE, BNOS ZION OF BOBOV

The winds roared and the trees shook with fright. Everyone huddled in their homes, waiting for the storm to pass, but one woman was not home. She was at the train station, clutching her baby close to her. She was my great-grandmother Rebbetzin Rochel Cisner.

Standing in the cold, she anxiously waited for the train to come and help her escape. She wrapped her shawl tightly around her neck and moved her suitcase closer to her. In her haste to flee, she had no time to pack up food and clothing for the long journey. Wails suddenly pierced through the air, and she began rocking her precious baby to sleep. That’s when she realized that she had not brought along enough clothing for him! All she had was one thin blanket. She helplessly turned to Hashem and begged Him for mercy. Soon she finished her prayers, confident that He would help her.

Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her. She immediately turned around and found herself staring into a pair of brown eyes that belonged to a tall man who was carrying a small leather suitcase.

“I am sorry for startling you,” he began, “but can you please watch this suitcase for two minutes?”

My grandmother nodded hesitantly. The stranger thanked her profusely and then disappeared.

My grandmother waited for the man for a long time. When she saw that he wasn’t returning, she decided to open the suitcase and see what was inside. She carefully unzipped the suitcase — and gasped with shock. Clearly, Hashem had listened to her cries and sent her something in return. For in the suitcase lay… baby clothing.

Sharks have a fearsome reputation. This underwater creature has beady eyes and a toothy jaw, and is often portrayed as a dangerous ocean predator. For the most part, however, they don’t attack humans. You’re more likely to win the Powerball than get attacked by a shark!

Sharks live in every ocean in the world, mostly in warm water. Some even live in rivers and lakes. There are more than 500 known species of sharks, and they vary in size. The dwarf lanternshark is not much bigger than a person’s hand, while the whale shark can grow up to 50 feet long and is considered the largest fish in the world.

Unlike other fish, which have bones, sharks have skeletons made of cartilage. Cartilage is a tough, flexible material that is not as hard as bone. We have cartilage in our bodies, too! One place you can find cartilage is in your ear. You can bend and move your ear with your fingers, but when you let go it will return to its normal shape because of the cartilage inside.

Most sharks are carnivores, with thousands of sharp teeth. Their teeth are arranged in rows. When one tooth is lost, another grows in its place. Some sharks may lose as many as 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. Most sharks have about five rows of teeth at a time, but the teeth in the front are the largest and do most of the work.

A few sharks are “filter feeders.” They swim with their mouths wide open and strain tiny plants and animals from the water. These massive sharks consume huge quantities of plankton and small fish.

Sharks are clever, fast, agile and strong. Their night vision helps them spot prey in dark waters. That, combined with their strong sense of smell, helps sharks pinpoint their prey, sometimes from hundreds of feet away.

By: Riki Kabalkin

READY TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO AN INCREDIBLE FACT?

Most sharks never stop swimming, even when they sleep. One reason is because of how they breathe: Like other fish, sharks get their oxygen from the water. When water passes through their gills, the gills absorb oxygen. Some sharks use their cheek muscles to draw water into their mouth and through their gills. Other sharks must swim to keep the water flowing through their gills. Most sharks breathe using a combination of both of these methods. Pretty so-fish -ticated, right?

The second reason is that, unlike most other fish, sharks don’t have a swimming bladder, which is an abdominal sac that fills with air and allows them to float even while they’re still. But don’t worry — sharks are still pretty buoyant, thanks to their non-bony skeleton and their livers, which are filled with lighter-than-water oil.

SOME SHARK SEA-CRETS

The GREAT WHITE SHARK is the largest predatory fish in the world.

Many people are afraid of great whites, and it is true that they are responsible for more shark attacks on humans than any other shark in the world. But they would rather not eat humans, much preferring prey like tuna, dolphins, whales and seals.

HAMMERHEAD SHARKS are recognized by the shape of their heads. They use the wide “hammer” at the front of their heads to help them catch their favorite food, sting rays, by trapping them against the seafloor. (They really nail those!)

Most hammerhead species are small, but the great hammerhead can reach lengths of up to 20 feet.

The WHALE SHARK is the largest fish in the world, but it is a filter feeder and not a predator. It eats mainly plankton and small crustaceans. It also eats small fish that get sucked into its mouth. Whale sharks live in warm tropical waters and are easily recognized by their spotted skin.

The BASKING SHARK holds its mouth open like a drawbridge and inhales as much as 1,000 pounds of fish food into its stomach every day. I’m full just thinking about that!

Sharks play a very special role in ocean ecosystems, keeping fish populations from growing too large and helping the entire food chain remain healthy. Without sharks, the entire ocean would suffer.
